Hello Nanchang is the English travel guide for Nanchang and Jiangxi Province — written for visitors who have just landed in China and need things to work right now, without Google, without a VPN, and often without Wi‑Fi.

WHAT'S INSIDE • Magazine-quality guides — 48 in-depth English articles on Nanchang and the best of Jiangxi: Tengwang Pavilion, Bayi Square, Wanshou Palace old town, Lushan, Jingdezhen's ceramics, Wuyuan's villages and more. Full text and photos available offline, with a "Listen" button that reads any guide aloud. • The Tengwang Pavilion Storybook — a 46-page illustrated, tap-through history of the tower a poem rebuilt. • Camera translation — point your camera at a Chinese menu, sign or price and read it in English. Text recognition runs on your device. • Map that actually works in China — 37 hand-picked places pinned on Apple Maps, sorted by distance from you, with one tap to open directions. • Phrasebook — the phrases you really use (ordering, paying, taxis, emergencies), with pinyin and spoken audio. • Trip Essentials — visa-free entry, the airport, metro, offline maps, money and mobile payments, SIM & eSIM, weather and packing, safety. • Emergency card — police 110, ambulance 120, fire 119, traffic 122, one tap to call, offline. • Plan with a local — tell us what you love and our English-speaking local team designs a day-by-day Jiangxi itinerary.
