    Got my ticket on Trip, and had to exchange for a physical ticket (they'll automatically assign a designated seat) at the Ticketing Office. Show is at 1945 hrs and one can enter from 1845 hrs. There's really no hurry to enter early since it's assigned seating. I was lucky to get a seat in Area 3, which is in the middle section, facing the Pavilion directly. At the start they had some audience engagement activities with giveaways and also sale of calligraphy artwork by 王刚亮, a famous calligrapher, who claims 王羲之 as his great-great-great-grand teacher.The actual performance brings the Pavilion's history to life, through projection, drama, dance and music including fire acrobatics, pyrotechnics and mobile sets. Glad that it's tiered seating for unblocked views. Overall it's an enjoyable 45 mins that I highly recommend.

    When you come to Nanchang, you must experience the Nanchang Star Ferris wheel! It is 160 meters high. When you ride, the car slowly rises, and the modern architecture of Honggutan and the scenery of the Lijiang River unfold in front of you. During the day, you can feel the prosperity and vitality of the city. In the evening, you can enjoy the sunset. After nightfall, the Ferris wheel lights up and shines with the city lights. It is extremely romantic. Each car is spacious and comfortable for 6-8 people.

    Going to Nanchang ship, really shocking! This is the first generation of domestic missile destroyers, 132 meters long,12.8 meters wide, and very large. On the deck, you can see the main gun and missile launchers, and you can feel the prestige of the Navy at once. Walking into the bridge, full of dashboards and control rods, I felt like I had crossed into a seafarer. I also visited the soldiers' cabin and kitchen. Although the conditions are simple, they are very clean and can imagine the life of officers and soldiers. Walking around here, I have a deeper understanding of naval history, it is worth a visit.

    Families, come to Nanchang must come to Bayi Square! This is the first square in China named after "Bayi", full of history. The eight Yiyi Memorial Tower in the center of the square is super shocking, 53.6 meters high, the tower-top rifle and military flag sculpture, the tower-based relief recording the uprising scene, standing there, as if you can cross back to the year. The music fountain is also great, with the red classic tracks at night, the fountain dances with the rhythm, it looks great.

    It is worth seeing. After watching the sea lion show today, I watched the mermaid show at 15:20. The two young ladies who played mermaid were so beautiful. They also greeted us, as well as jellyfish and coral reefs. The penguins on the fourth floor are also cute.
