    Brief Introduction
    Jiangxi Province lies on the southern bank of the Yangtze River's lower and middle sections. It has an area of 166,900 sq km and a population of 39.66 million. Nanchang is the provincial capital.
    Climate
    Jiangxi has a sub-tropical climate, warm and humid. It has a mean annual temperature of 16°－20°C, increasing from north to south, and a mean annual precipitation of 1,300-200 mm. Nanchang is one of the hottest cities in China.
    Topography
    Jiangxi is high in the south and low in the north. It is bordered by hills and mountains, the land generally sloping towards the Poyang Lake in the north. Hills and mountains account for 60%  of the province's landmass. The mountains are not high and have many natural passages facilitating its link to other provinces. The Mufu, Jiuling, Wugong and Wanyang mountains lie in the west; the Dayuling and Jiulian mountains in the south; the Huaiyu and Wuyi mountains in the east; and Lushan Mountain in the north. There are many red-soil hills and basins in the central-south. The Jian Basin in the south is a major farming
area. The Poyang Lake Plain in the north is part of the Middle-Lower Yangtze River Plain. With numerous rivers and streams, fertile soil and a dense population, it is known as a "granary south of the Yangtze River".
    Agriculture
    With a developed farming sector, Jiangxi is one of the country's major grain producers. Rice, its major crop, accounts for 80 percent of the total acreage sown to grain crops. Its cash crops include rapeseed, sugar-canes, cotton, tea, and fruit. The
tiny seedless tangerines of Nanfeng are well known both on the domestic and international markets. There are dense forests and bamboo groves in the mountains on the borders. The Poyang lake is a huge natural fish pond.
    Industry
    Jiangxi is rich in mineral resources. The tungsten of southern Jiangxi is known throughout the world. The northeast and northwest have large copper deposits, the best-known copper mine being Dexing. Jiangxi is one of the southern provinces with large coal deposits. Its other minerals include iron, lead, zinc, molybdenum, niobium, rock salt, and pottery clay. The porcelains of Jingdezhen, a city with a long porcelain-making history, are much sought after on the world market.
    Tourism
    Jiangxi abounds in tourism resources. Nanchang, Jingdezhen,
Jiujiang and Ganzhou are important sites of historic and cultural interest. The Lushan Mountain in northern Jiangxi is noted for its scenic beauty and as a summer resort. Every year, tourists in tens of thousands flock to the Jinggang mountains in southern Jiangxi, the first base area of the Communist-led revolution and also a scenic site. Sanqing and Longhu mountains in the northeast of the province are considered holy places of Taoism, an indigenous Chinese religion. The Poyang Lake, China's largest fresh water lake, offers a sight seldom seen elsewhere
when cranes, during  their southward migration, arrive in thousands in winter for food and shelters in lakeside reed marshes. All in all, Jiangxi has 450 tourism attractions.
