On the first day, We're planning to enjoy Tengwang Pavilion, one of the must-see sights in Jiangxi province. Then, we are spending next day exploring two squares, Bayi Square and Qiushui Square. The last day, shared bicycles are taking us to the Longevity Palace where we can taste the local unique traditional food. （旅游计划）
