Tengwang Pavilion is one of the three famous towers in Jiangnan, possessing unique charm. It is not only an ancient Chinese court building but also an outstanding representative of Chinese architectural art and its splendid achievements. The pavilion has a history of over 1300 years, having been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, enduring many vicissitudes. The current structure we see today was restored when it was 29 years old. Tengwang Pavilion has three visible and hidden floors, plus an additional top floor, making a total of seven floors. It is the tallest among the three famous towers in Jiangnan. Starting from the Gan River in the south, extending north to Tengwang Pavilion, with the northern rockery, eastern pond, and southern lawn, surrounded by pavilions and towers, it forms a large garden architectural complex.
Hero City - Nanchang, inherently carries a revolutionary spirit. In 1927, the first independently led people's army by the Communist Party of China was born in the Nanchang August 1st Uprising, making it a renowned revolutionary hero city. Therefore, when visiting, one might as well pay homage to the site of the August 1st Uprising and admire the raised military flag.
Shengjin Pagoda has a history of over a thousand years, similar to the Tengwang Pavilion, it has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times. The current appearance resembles the reconstruction in 2014. It is octagonal, intricate, and rich in religious significance. Each eave is adorned with bronze bells, and the top of the pagoda is gourd-shaped. According to legend, before the construction of Shengjin Pagoda, a monk named Wei Yi dug up an iron box containing four coils of golden rope, three ancient swords, a golden bottle, and 300 relics, hence the name.
Nanchang Station
In Nanchang, there is another place perfect for taking nostalgic photos, which is Nanchang Station located in Phoenix Island Citizen Park. This was the original assembly point of the August 1st Uprising troops—Niuxing Station. Here, you can reminisce about old Nanchang and witness the rise of the city. A hundred years ago, this place was the bustling and crowded Niuxing Station, also Nanchang's first train station. Niuxing Station witnessed countless joys and sorrows and endured the ravages of war. It has now become a relic of a station that is no longer in operation. The Shengjin Tower, therefore, has three hundred grains.
Bayi Square is the central area of Nanchang. The August 1st Uprising Monument, Military History Corridor, Jinshui River, Military History Relief, Flag Raising Platform, and Water Curtain Movie are all important venues for commemorating revolutionary martyrs and the history of August 1st. It is also a landmark of Nanchang. Facing the square is the magnificent building of the Jiangxi Provincial Exhibition Hall. The spacious ten-lane dual carriageway beside it is a testament to the wisdom and grandeur of the rulers of the past.
