Use these days as a starting point and adjust the pace to suit you. Check the linked attraction guides for reservations and closures, and allow a full day for longer outings. Confirm weather and tickets before setting off.

Choose one route for each day with alternatives below. Only its listed stops are imported. Optional stops stay in the guide, and opening days still need checking for your dates.

  1. Morning: Make Tengwang Pavilion the main visit and choose the operating exhibition and viewpoint route.
  2. Afternoon: Continue to Wanshougong for a public-lane walk and food stop; any show is a separate product.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If pavilion admission fails, keep the open old-center route and choose another date rather than buying an unrelated night-session product.

The uprising and former headquarters

These are alternatives. The planner adds only the stops in your chosen option.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

August 1 Nanchang Uprising Memorial Museum 南昌八一起义纪念馆New Fourth Army Headquarters Site Museum 南昌新四军军部旧址陈列馆
  1. Morning: Give the August 1 museum's exhibition and former-site sequence an unhurried visit.
  2. Afternoon: Add the New Fourth Army site only if its own admission and opening fit; otherwise keep one historical museum.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If both are closed, swap with a suitable outdoor day after checking the next opening notices.

DAY3

Honggutan

Provincial collections across the river

These are alternatives. The planner adds only the stops in your chosen option.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

These are alternatives to consider, not extra stops to add to the same day. Check locations and transfer times before replacing an itinerary stop; a distant excursion may need a full day.
