Jiangxi China Map: Jiangxi on the Map of China
This overview map highlights Jiangxi within China, shows its general shape, and marks Nanchang, Poyang Lake. One of the first things this Jiangxi China map makes clear is the position of Nanchang (capital) in the central-north of the province.
Jiangxi is a landlocked province in east-central China. It sits south of the Yangtze River and is bordered by Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, and Anhui.
Let's add a few quick travel distances (by high-speed train) to help you perfectly put its location into perspective for your itinerary:
- To Shanghai: 3 hours
- To Guangzhou: 4 hours
- To Beijing: 6 hours
- To Huangshan: 1 hour
- To Zhangjiajie: 5 hours
For travelers coming from eastern China, Shanghai is the easiest pairing. For those already moving west to east through China, Jiangxi can also fit naturally after Zhangjiajie.
The Jiangxi Province Map: 11 Cities, 6 Airports, and One Capital
This Jiangxi province map outlines all 11 prefecture-level cities with English labels, marks the main airports, and distinguishes between the international gateway and the domestic airports.
Jiangxi is divided into 11 prefecture-level cities. Nanchang, the provincial capital, sits in the north-central part of the province.
The province's best-known travel circuit sits largely in the northeast. There are Jingdezhen, Shangrao, Yingtan, Jiujiang. It's best for first-time visitors.
| City | Description |
|---|---|
| Nanchang (南昌) | The provincial capital and main transport gateway |
| Jingdezhen (景德镇) | China's best-known porcelain city |
| Shangrao (上饶) | The key hub for Wangxian Valley, Lingshan Mountain & Gexian Village |
| Yingtan (鹰潭) | The access point for Longhushan |
| Jiujiang (九江) | The usual base for visiting Lushan |
The remaining cities - Ganzhou, Yichun, Pingxiang, Xinyu, Fuzhou, and Ji'an - make more sense for travelers with extra time, specific hiking interests, or a desire to see less-visited parts of the province.
Jiangxi Airports: Nanchang (KHN) & Other Domestic Airports
Only one airport in Jiangxi has international routes (Nanchang KHN - Bangkok, Singapore, KL). The other five are domestic.
| Airport | Drop you at the doorstep of |
|---|---|
| KHN Nanchang Changbei | Tengwang Pavilion, Lushan (via 1h HSR) |
| SQD Shangrao Sanqingshan | Sanqingshan, Wuyuan, Wangxian - the northeast cluster |
| JDZ Jingdezhen Luojia | Porcelain district, straight in |
| JIU Jiujiang Lushan | Mount Lushan - 1h taxi to Guling Town |
| KOW Ganzhou Huangjin | Hakka walled villages, southern Jiangxi |
| YIC Yichun Mingyueshan | Mount Wugong grassland camping |
For many overseas visitors, however, the more common pattern is still to enter China through a larger hub such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Hong Kong and then continue into Jiangxi by train or domestic flight.

Four Close-Up Maps for First-Time Visitors: Sanqingshan, Lushan, Huangling, and Wangxian Valley
These close-up maps focus on four of Jiangxi's most important first-trip sights, showing routes, entrance areas, cable cars, overnight zones, and the main things visitors should not miss.
Mount Sanqingshan - The Cable Car + Ridge Walk
It needs one full day. Take the South Cable Car up, walk the eastern ridge loop (the "Sunshine Coast" trail), pass the famous "Goddess Peak" rock, loop back via the western cliffs, and descend by the Goldsand Cable Car. You gain the best views without climbing 7,000 steps.
Mount Lushan
ushan is a plateau, not a single peak. Sleep on the mountain in Guling Town.
- Day one: the west loop - Jinxiu Valley, Fairy Cavern, Dragon Pool.
- Day two: the east loop - Five Old Men Peak, Hanpo Pass, Lulin Lake.
Wuyuan Huangling - Most Visited Ancient Village
Huangling is visually compact but highly seasonal. It is best known for the drying-rack scenery and the hillside village setting.
A close-up map is useful mainly for orientation: where the cable car arrives, where the best viewpoints are, and how much walking the main route actually involves.
Wangxian Valley Map - Detailed Tourist Map
Wangxian Valley is a rising theme park built around a cliff-side village. The detailed visitor map we provide here clearly marks the scenic area entrance, accommodation zones, the ancient street, the rafting route, and the star attraction - Baihe Cliff (云海崖).
