Nanchang Feature Food, Nanchang Travel Guide

Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province in southeastern China. Nanchang is famous for its scenic lakes, mountains, rich history and cultural sites.Nanchang is located 60 km south of the Yangtze River and is situated on the right bank of the Gan River just below its confluence with the Jin River and some 40 km south of its discharge into Poyang Lake.

While retaining a local spicy flavour that is interesting, although not in the hotter summer months,there is also a lot of variety in the city, with masses of local street food counterbalanced by more upper class restaurants, especially in the hotels. Fresh river food and dumplings are the most popular of the simple and cheap local food.

The best food areas here are along Xiangshan beilu, for fish, and around the railway station, for cheap snacks and fast food. Jiangxi food is best tried in the upmarket Wenxuan Restaurant (Wenxuan jiulou), also on Xiangshan lu, or in many of the local hotels. For western food, the Gloria Plaza and the Jiangxi Hotel both have western restaurants, although the Steakhouse, on Minde lu near the intersection with Supu lu, is the best for taste. Wang´s Hotpot Restaurant (Hunan wang caiguan) serves spicy bowls of this Chinese specialty.
