About
Jiangxi is a province in southeastern China, set in the country's south-east and bordered by several other Chinese provinces. It makes a rewarding destination for visitors who want to combine mountain scenery with a deeper look at traditional Chinese craft and older towns.
What to see
- Mountain landscapes: The province is known for its beautiful mountains, and the famous Lushan range is the best-known of them. It suits walkers and anyone who wants to spend time in open, green country.
- Porcelain: Jiangxi is closely associated with traditional porcelain production, so a visit can include a look at the craft that has long defined the region.
- Historic towns: Older towns give a sense of local life away from the larger cities.
Planning a visit
Because Jiangxi is a whole province rather than a single town, it works best to choose a base and decide which parts to explore. The mountains, the porcelain traditions and the historic towns are spread across the province, so a visit can be shaped around whichever of these interests you most. Its position among several neighbouring provinces also makes it easy to fold into a longer journey through southeastern China.
Jiangxi is a fitting choice for travellers who prefer landscape, craft and small-town character over a fast-paced city itinerary. Check current travel arrangements and local conditions before you set out.
