- Note
- "Nanchang (Chinese: 南昌) is the capital and largest city of Jiangxi Province in southeastern China. As of November 2017, the total population in Nanchang City was 5,246,600, while the urban population is 2,887,800. Located in the north-central part of the province and in the hinterland of Poyang Lake Plain, it is bounded on the west by the Jiuling Mountains, and on the east by Poyang Lake. Because of its strategic location connecting the prosperous East and South China, it has become a major railway hub in Southern China in recent decades.
As the Nanchang Uprising in 1927 is distinctively recognized by the ruling Communist Party as "firing the first gunshot against the evil Nationalists", the current government has therefore named the city since 1949 "the City of Heroes", "the place where the People´s Liberation Army was born", and the most widely known "place where the military banner of the People´s Liberation Army was first raised"." - (en.wikipedia.org 02.12.2019) - Latitude
