Jiangxi Tours
Jiangxi is the province most China itineraries skip, which is exactly why it is worth the detour. It holds the coolest summer mountain in the Yangtze valley, the kiln complex that supplied porcelain to the imperial court for five centuries, the Huizhou villages whose white walls and rapeseed terraces have been photographed for forty years, granite peaks that Taoist hermits climbed long before anybody built a cable car, and a red-sandstone gorge where coffins were hung on the cliffs two thousand years ago and nobody agrees how. Nanchang, the capital, sits on the high-speed line from Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing, and Nanchang Changbei is one of the 65 ports open to 240-hour visa-free transit. Come for three days or ten; the distances are short and the roads are good.
