Our last day in Nanchang






Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province . It has 1.11 million citizens and an area of 70 square kilometers. One of the ancient cultural cities in China, Nanchang was built as early as 201 B.C, and became a famous metropolis in the Tang and Song (618-1279) dynasties. Its geographical location made Nanchang a strategic importance. It was the birthplace of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Today we went to the Tengwang Tower, an ancient pavilion on the river. It was really pretty and all around in the garden are statues of the animals of the Chinese horoscope. Afterwards, we went to a nice Chinese lunch with the group and then back to the hotel to pack for Guangzhou. We are really ready to come home, we miss many things including our comfy bed!
