I made a special trip to Nanchang just for these photos... (including travel tips)

✅ Tengwang Pavilion (shot with 5x telephoto lens) ✅ Bayi Square (Exit 3 of Bayi Metro Station) ✅ Kuanxia Cafe (Wanshou Palace area) ✅ Nanchang Star (could shoot right outside my hotel - the Galant Qilu International Hotel) Detailed 3-day 2-night itinerary: Checked in at Nanchang Galant Select Hotel near Qiushui Square in the afternoon (hotel has washing/drying machines - a lifesaver for this girl who ran out of clothes after coming from Jingdezhen! Also has amazing breakfast 🥹 felt no need to specially eat local food outside) 📌 Musical fountain schedule: First show: 19:30-19:45 Second show: 20:30-20:45 📸 Day 1: Hanfu makeup + Tengwang Pavilion = absolutely stunning Morning: Booked makeup & photoshoot at Chayu Studio one week in advance Total transformation 😭😭 photographer even shot with CCD camera 👉 Hanfu + makeup + Tengwang Pavilion photoshoot = guaranteed beautiful shots 🏯 Afternoon: Tengwang Pavilion visit & photos ✔️ Climb to top of main pavilion for Gan River panorama (reciting "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" gets free admission!) With this makeup, every shot turns out photogenic 😭 🚢 Evening: Tengwang Pavilion cruise (Pipa Song performance) + night tour 🌉 Must-see "Pipa Song" performance at 20:05 on theme boat Wearing the costume while watching makes you feel immersed! Plus enjoy the riverside light show on deck with evening breeze - perfect for photos 📸 💆 Afterparty: Minde Bathhouse (locals' secret spot!) 💰 Makeup removal + head massage perfectly removes heavy stage makeup, auntie's technique is amazing 👏 the head massage water flow almost put me to sleep 🦀 Day 2: Relaxing citywalk & food tour 🌶️ Lunch: Can't visit Nanchang without trying crab pot! Locals-recommended Erguan Crab Pot 🔥 Must-order crab pot + rice cakes! The sauce can make you eat 3 bowls of rice 🍚 Plump crabs and shrimp - so delicious! Then head to Nanchang August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall (book in advance) Followed by Wanshou Palace historical block Many photogenic spots for exploring ☕ Recommendation: Kuanxia Cafe - stunning like the movie "Big Fish & Begonia" ✅ At night: Lit-up Jiangxi Art Museum (red landmark) = great photos ✅ Galant Qilu International Hotel breakfast includes local specialties like mixed noodles and claypot meatball soup, rooms have river/Nanchang Star views 🚗 Day 3: Wake up naturally, shoot Nanchang Star near hotel (abandoned if bad weather - luckily got shots at hotel entrance and public areas)
