The navy vessel Nanchang, a missile destroyer that my nation independently developed, is referred to as the Nanchang. Between its 1982 commissioning and its 2016 combat duty completion, the Nanchang ship saw the Chinese Navy grow from a small to a large and from weak to strong. Guangzhou Shipyard began building the Nanchang ship on December 28, 1977. Launch of the Nanchang ship took place on December 22, 1979. The Nanchang ship joined the South China Sea Fleet on November 15, 1982.

There are too many people during holidays, and it takes an hour to queue up to the main control room and the second-floor deck. It is not recommended to go during holidays. The ship is not big, the space in the cabin is small, and the ground is uneven, so it is easy to hit your head or fall. The ticket price is not cost-effective compared to the travel experience.


Nanchang City's Xinzhou on the Ganjiang River is home to the Jiangxi Provincial Museum. Tengwang Pavilion lies to the north, the Ganjiang River to the west, Zhongshan Bridge to the south, and the Fuhe River to the east. Its surroundings are lovely. The three-tube white porcelain that was discovered in the imperial kiln in Jingdezhen during the Ming Dynasty served as the model for the main building's shape. Ancient ceramic art and contemporary architectural design are expertly combined in the History Museum, Revolution Museum, and Natural History Museum, which are all combined into one. It is solemn, sophisticated, and distinctive.

Address: No. 698 North Ganjiang Avenue, Honggutan District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province

Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 and get off at Tengwang Pavilion Station.

Business hours: Open from 09:00 to 17:00 tomorrow (admission ends at 16:00)

The more than 3-hour explanation was lively, interesting and colorful. A lot of pictures were provided to enhance the explanation experience, as well as the explanation of the young lady's own understanding. I learned a lot. It was a very good experience and it is worth coming again!



Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" is the reason for the fame of the Pavilion of Prince Teng, which has a view of the Gan River. It is one of Nanchang's landmarks and one of the "Three Famous Towers in Jiangnan". Even though it has undergone numerous reconstructions and demolitions, the present structure has undergone renovations, and it is challenging to experience the majesty that the ancients characterized as "the setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color." Nevertheless, it remains a must-see destination for tourists traveling to Nanchang. Seeing the Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang is usually a highly ceremonial event.

The Tengwang Pavilion's main pavilion and the little gardens on the north and south sides make up the majority of the picturesque area. Tourists come here mostly to climb the pavilion and gaze into the horizon. The main pavilion appears to be a three-story structure with a hallway from the outside. It actually has nine floors, including two base floors, an equipment floor, and three secret floors. The prelude hall is located on the first floor of the main pavilion. "When the wind comes, Tengwang Pavilion is sent away" is shown in a white marble sculpture right in front of the entrance. The archway couplet in front of the door says, "The fall river and the sky are the same color, and the lone wild goose and the setting sun fly together." The numerous plaques and couplets penned by well-known artists that line the hall give visitors a sense of Tengwang Pavilion's exceptional standing. The second floor is dark and features portraits of over 80 notable Jiangxi figures from the Pre-Qin to the late Ming dynasties on the walls; the third floor's north ear hall has a teahouse; the fourth floor is identical to the second floor and features murals depicting Jiangxi's mountains and rivers.

Continue going up to the fifth floor, which is a good place for viewing the scenery. This is the Tengwang Pavilion in its entirety. Su Shi wrote the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" that is inscribed on a copper plate that hangs on the central hall wall. A panoramic model of the Pavilion of Prince Teng is located in the middle of the east hall, and a statue of Wang Bo holding a wine glass stands next to it. I still get a little teary-eyed when I think of the scene of literati and scholars reciting poems and writing couplets here, even though the opposite bank is already covered in tall buildings and the scenery isn't as beautiful as it once was. I'm walking down the corridor and looking out at the vast waters of the Ganjiang River.

The next step up is an old-fashioned stage with a golden plaque beneath the eaves that reads "Tengwang Pavilion" and was penned by Su Dongpo. If you have time, you can explore the South Garden and North Garden after leaving the main pavilion. The setting of the old garden is pleasant. You can decide not to enter the picturesque region if you wish to save money. From the outside, you can also see Tengwang Pavilion in its entirety, but the photography viewpoint is not as favorable.

Tengwang Pavilion is located on Yanjiang Road, Donghu District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. It is located on the east bank of Ganjiang River and at the intersection of Ganjiang River and Fuhe River. It is a landmark building in Nanchang City and a symbol of Yuzhang ancient civilization. It was first built in the fourth year of Tang Yonghui (653 AD) and was rebuilt by Li Yuanying, the Prince of Teng and the younger brother of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, when he served as the governor of Hongzhou in Jiangnan. The existing building was rebuilt in 1985. It is famous for the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" written by the early Tang poet Wang Bo. It is known as the "Three Famous Towers in Jiangnan" together with Yueyang Tower in Yueyang, Hunan and Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei. It is one of the four famous towers in ancient China and one of the "Top Ten Famous Historical and Cultural Towers in China". It is known as the "First Tower of Xijiang". The main building of Tengwang Pavilion is 57.5 meters high and has a construction area of ​​13,000 square meters. Its lower part is a 12-meter-high pedestal symbolizing the ancient city wall, which is divided into two levels. The main pavilion above the pedestal adopts the format of "three visible and seven hidden", which is a three-story building with a corridor. There are seven floors inside, divided into three visible floors, three hidden floors and a loft. The ridge chiton is specially made in imitation of the Song Dynasty and is 3.5 meters high.


West of the Nanchang Bridge, on the bank of the Ganjiang River, sits the Nanchang Star Ferris Wheel. It is one of Nanchang's icons and reaches an uncommon 160 meters in total height. With a capacity of 60 space capsules, the Ferris wheel allows almost a thousand passengers to experience the stunning view on both sides of the Ganjiang River in Nanchang from above. The Ferris wheel's location in Nanchang is another picturesque spot. A stroll throughout the day or a nighttime view are also excellent options.

Opening hours: 09:00-22:00 (no admission after 21:30)

The Nanchang Star Ferris Wheel is located in an amusement park on the bank of the Ganjiang River. Usually there are not many people there, and the view from the top is very good, better than expected. You can see the river on one side and the green lawns and buildings on the other side. It is a good place to climb up and see the view.

This aquarium is equivalent to an indoor one. Our children were sleeping in the morning and we went there late in the afternoon, so luckily we booked the evening show, otherwise the tickets would have been a bit uneconomical. Therefore, the price during this morning time period is more expensive. If you want to see, you can check out the night show. However, there are not so many activities at night shows, and they sell food, so they are definitely more expensive. I also wanted to bring a small jellyfish but it was not given
