Jiangxi travel guide
Jiangxi is a southeastern inland province wrapped around the lower Yangtze and Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake. Travelers come for Mount Lu (the summer retreat UNESCO Cultural Landscape), Jingdezhen (the millennium-old porcelain capital), Wuyuan's Ming-era Huizhou villages, and the red-revolutionary corridor from Nanchang to Jinggangshan. The province is also one of China's greenest - over 64% forest cover - and the slow-travel corridor of Poyang Lake wetlands and Gannan Hakka rounds is increasingly popular with second-visit China travelers.

Cuisine overview
Jiangxi cuisine (Gan cai) is salty, fresh, and slightly spicy, building flavor from rice noodles, fresh chili, cured meats, river fish, and mountain bamboo shoots.
