Xiangtang

China

Xiangtang is a town in Nanchang County, under the administration of Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province in China. It lies to the south of the city of Nanchang. As of the 2010 census it was the most populous town in Jiangxi, with a population of more than 150,000.

The town grew out of a village, which still stands near the present town centre, established during the Qing Dynasty. It expanded rapidly after the main part of the Zhejiang–Jiangxi Railway was completed in 1935. Xiangtang today has two main rail stations: Xiangtang West Station, the second largest freight yard in China, and Xiangtang Station, a level-1 passenger station.

Xiangtang was also the site of Nanchang Xiangtang Airport, which served as Nanchang's main civil airport until Nanchang Changbei International Airport began operation on 10 September 1999.
