By Long Distance Bus
By bus: The city can be reached by bus from cities like Guangzhou (18hours), Changsha (8hours), Nanjing and Shenzhen (20hours) outside of the province. It is also very convenient to travel from Nanchang to Jiujiang (1.5hours), Jingdezhen (6.5hours), Lushan (2.5hour), Jinggangshan (9hours) and other cities in Jiangxi.
The Long-distance bus station is on Bayi dadao, between Renmin Square (Renmin guangchang) and the Fushan traffic circle.
By boat
There is a small ferry terminal in Nanchang, which is 1km away near the Bayi Bridge (Bayi qiao). There are daily services to towns around Poyang Lake and also less frequent services heading south along the Gan River. It is possible to take the 06:30 boats to Boyang and then take a bus (2 hours) to Jingdezhen. The boat trip to Boyang takes approximately 7hrs (RMB26). Alternatively, there are two fast boats (RMB61) that take 3hrs.
Getting Around
Public City Bus
There are 20 or more buses lines in Nanchang incluing buses, mini-buses and sightseeing buses. The bus routes are generally very good and there are numerous taxis available. Most journeys should be under RMB20 in a taxi. Maps with bus routes can be bought from the bus and train stations.
Taxi
Taxis & buses are the most popular way's of getting around, bus journeys being 1Yuan per person however far.
Bicycle
However you will probably find that during peak times taxis and buses are impossible. At which point either walking or cycling are the only options (there is nowhere to rent bikes in Nanchang). If visiting during the summer a bicycle is a good investment, at 110 Yuan from Wall-Mart beside BaYi square. There are many cycle lanes covering the entire city, busy nearly all the time.
