As the star of "Where late geese ride with sunset clouds aflame, And autumn tides merge with a boundless sky," Tengwang Pavilion embodies countless people's dream of classical romance. Visiting Nanchang without seeing Tengwang Pavilion would be a wasted trip. After walking 30,000 steps across Nanchang, I've compiled these iconic photo spots - master these and you've graduated from tourist to pro! This Nanchang journey not only unlocked phenomenal photo locations but also led me to Yunxi-Qi Hotel, a hidden gem recommended by locals - an oasis of tranquility amidst the urban hustle, making it the perfect combo for photography and relaxation! 📍Tengwang Pavilion Must-Snap Spots: 1️⃣ Times Square Apartment The ultimate classic shot - Tengwang Pavilion and Ganjiang CBD spanning ancient and modern. Arrive one hour before sunset for breathtaking views. 2️⃣ Huayuan Emperor View Apartment · Yunxi-Qi Hotel Perched on the 36th floor with panoramic views, the pavilion appears at your feet. Framed against the riverside cityscape, window-side contemplation becomes pure bliss. 3️⃣ Tengwang Pavilion North Garden A winding ancient bridge connects garden ponds here. The interplay of wooden structures and gray tiles creates perfect backdrops - whether walking through or posing on railings. Night shots capture moon reflections with Xianyun Pavilion, while daylight offers great portrait lighting. 4️⃣ Tengwang Pavilion Main Building Entry: ¥50 (free if you recite "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion"). Night performances and illuminated views are spectacular. 5️⃣ Xinzhou Cultural Square Perfect framing opportunity using the pavilion's archway as a natural border for composition magic. 6️⃣ Main Square Symmetrical View The iconic money shot! Stand on the central axis facing away from the gate for perfectly centered, majestic compositions. Best with hanfu or neo-Chinese style outfits. Pro tip: Shoot at dawn/dusk for soft light and fewer crowds. 7️⃣ Third Floor Observation Deck Climb up for panoramic Gan River views and the opposite city skyline. With luck, you might capture the legendary "sunset geese" scene. 8️⃣ Night Illumination Show The lit-up pavilion transports you to historical dramas! Especially stunning when shot with telephoto from across the river. Pro gear: Tripod + low ISO long exposure for pro-level shots. 🏠 Stay Recommendation: Yunxi-Qi Tengwang Pavilion Riverside Hotel After exploring, returning here feels like time-traveling from ancient history to modern clouds. Savor river breezes with wine while contemplating a millennium of poetic beauty through floor-to-ceiling windows. Prime location: 5-min walk to Tengwang Pavilion, near Honggutan CBD yet peacefully quiet. Design masterpiece: Natural wabi-sabi aesthetic with wooden accents and warm lighting - like living inside a poem. Photogenic everywhere: From balconies to bathtub areas and the atrium courtyard, every corner is Instagram gold. Thoughtful touches: Welcome coffee + local snacks, evening aromatherapy for perfect travel respite. 🍜 Food Recs: Must-try Nanchang mixed noodles, fried noodles, and soup noodles (best with clay pots). Also try shuizhu (spicy boiled dishes) - but beware the inherently spicy broth even if requesting "no spice"! 📌 Pro tip: Book the "Cloudscape Room" - when sunlight pours in, you'll want to extend your stay indefinitely.
