Introduction to Jiangxi Province


Jiangxi Province lies in southeastern China and along the southern bank of the middle Yangtze River. At a latitude between 24 29’14’’ and 30 04’44’’ N, and a longitude between 113 34’36’’ and 118 28’58’’ E. Jiangxi borders Zhejiang and Fujian to the east, Guangdong to the south, Hunan to the west and Hubei and Anhui to the north.

Jiangxi Province is in the shape of a leaf, about 620 kilometers from south to north and 490 kilometers from east to west. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the Yellow River on the other, it has rolling hills and broad plains. The land gradually slopes from south to north, leading to the largest fresh water lake in China, Poyang Lake, which forms a large , open basin.

Within Jiangxi Province are various land forms, with mountains and hills dominating. The dominant mountain ranges are distributed along the border areas. The mountains in Jiangxi not only attract tourists with their steep cliffs, hanging waterfalls, running springs, sea of clouds, misty peaks, cool summer resorts and beautiful scenery, but are also home to dense bamboo groves and tropical forests. These mountains provide rich mineral and water resources, a reliable material base for Jiangxi’s economic development.

Jiangxi has more than 2,400 rivers of various sizes. Of course, 160 have water all year. The rivers have a combined total length of about 18,400 kilometers. The five major waterways are the Ganjiang, Fuhe, Xinjiang, Xiuhe and Raohe rivers. The Ganjiang River winds south to north along 751 kilometers. The river’s drainage basin covers 83,500 square kilometers. Because of its massive size, the province is called “Gan” for short.

Jiangxi is dotted with numerous lakes. Poyang Lake is the most famous. It ranks first among China’s five largest fresh lakes. Its huge volume of water acts as a transfer station linking the five major rivers with the Yangtza River and then to the Pacific Ocean.

Close to the Tropic of Cancer, Jiangxi has distinct seasonal changes. Due to its special topography, it has short springs and autumns, lasting only two months, and four-month-long winters and summers. The weather in spring is ever-changing. A rainy season joins spring with summers. Summers are hot and dry, and winters are cold and dank with a short frost period. There is a difference of 5.5 degrees latitude between the southern and northern tips of the province. Consequently, the climate in southern and northern Jiangxi differs by one solar term. Jiangxi has a warm climate, with an annual average temperature of from 16.2 to 19.7 degrees Celsius. The free-frost period lasts from 241 to 304 days, and the annual sunshine average 1,473 to 2,077 hours. The province enjoys plentiful rainfall, with a annual mean precipitation of 1,341.4 to 1,934.4 millimeters. The total reaches about 267 billion cubic meters. This makes Jiangxi a leader among China’s provinces and autonomous regions in annual rainfall. The subtropical moist climate is favorable to agricultural development.

With an area of 166,900 square kilometers, Jiangxi is divided into five prefectures and six cities directly under the provincial government and its total population was 41.05 million.

Jiangxi has constructed a comprehensive transportation network composed of railways, roads, water routes and air routes, linking all parts of the province.

Railways play an important role in Jiangxi’s transportation, especially in terms of long-distance travel and cargo handling. The trunk lines of the Beijing-Kowloon, Zhejiang-Jiangxi, Yingtan-Xiamen, Nanjing-Nanchang, Xiangtang-Ji’an, and Wuhan-Jiujiang, as well as over ten branch lines crisscross the province.

Jiangxi’s highways play a big role in short and mid-distance travel and urgent goods transportation. In Jiangxi, there are six national roads—No.105, No.206, No.316, No.319, No.320 and No.323, and about 100 provincial roads and roads between countries and townships. With the provincial capital Nanchang as the center, the national roads serve as a framework, the provincial roads as arteries, and the roads between counties and townships as branches. They constitute the network spanning the entire province and linking Jiangxi with the six bordering provinces.

Water routes are a major avenue of transportation goods in large quantity and to the seaports. The Ganjiang, Fuhe, Xinjiang, Raohe and Xiuhe rivers form as veins of a leaf radiating across the entire province, then converge into the Poyang Lake and finally flow into the Yangtze River. Water transportation follows the water flow from Poyang Lake to each port of the Yangtze River, accessing the cities of Wuhan, Chongqing, Nanjing and Shanghai, as well as Japan, and the countries and regions of Southeast Asia and the world.

The Jiujiang Port, with 24 kilometers of coastline in the urban areas, offers goods distribution and collection, passenger transfer and special services for factories, mines and enterprises. It has now opened to foreign ships. With the Beijing-Kowloon Railways opening to traffic, the transportation condition in Jiujiang port will continue to improve. It is expected to become the second largest river delta port on the Yangtze River, with Nanjing remaining the largest.

Changbei airport is the main gateway to the province from the air. It boasts advanced facilities for jumbo jets, such as the Boeing 737, and convenient communication services. Scheduled daily flights link Nanchang with Beijing , Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Xi’an, Chengdu, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Haikou, Zhuhai, Wenzhou, Nanjing and HongKong. So it takes 2 hours by plane and 13 hours by train to Beijing, 1 hour by plane and 12 hours by train to Shandhai and 2 hours by plane to HongKong.
