Nanchang's attractions are varied and provide picturesque, interesting and challenging entertainment for visitors. Much of the city's finest attractions are based around the city's lakes and mountains, many of which are being restored in an attempt to highlight the city's place in modern history.

More of Nanchang's history can be found at the city's various museums: the August 1st Uprising Museum is one of the most loved in the city. The museum was once the Jiangxi Grand Hotel before a group of Communist troops led by Zhou Enlai booked the entire hotel and used it to establish the Front Committee of the Communist Party of China. The Jiangxi Provincial Museum also has a number of artifacts from the revolutionary era, but visitors looking for a broader cultural view of the area should head to the Nanchang Folk Custom Museum, which displays artifacts from the Gan Culture. Bada Shanren's Residence also holds displays about the life and times of the Ming Dynasty poet, painter and calligrapher, born in Nanchang.

Tenwang Pavilion on the banks of the Yangtze River, built in the Song Dynasty style, is decorated with intricately carved beams and flying eaves, which has been a popular meeting place for scholars and writers for years.

The 99 peaks of Lushan Mountain have been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and the entire area is considered one of the most beautiful places in China. The ravines, grottos and waterfalls have been home to Buddhist, Islamic, Taoist and Christian places of worship for hundreds of year.

Jinggang Mountain is some distance from Nanchang, on the border of Hunan Province. It is known for its natural beauty as well as its place in modern history. After the Nanchang Uprising, Communist troops fled the city and found refuge in the mountain, which is known as the birthplace of the Red Army. Sightseeing tours of the mountain take in many of the most important sights such as breathtaking 80-meter waterfalls, steles carved with Chairman Mao's inscriptions at Huangyang Jie's Monument and the city of Ciping which was once used as a revolutionary base.

When the Taoist Priest Tian Shi used the mountains to the southwest of Nanchang to brew his elixirs, a Chinese Dragon and a Mystical Tiger were seen flying in the sky, resulting in the area being renamed Dragon and Tiger Mountain. It is still a popular place for those seeking tranquility and peace. It is also home to tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
