At the county level, Nanchang is made up of six boroughs and three counties. These are:
- Donghu district (东湖 区), 30 km², 440,000 inhabitants, center, seat of the city government;
- Xihu District (西湖 区), 43 km², 460,000 inhabitants;
- Qingyunpu District (青云谱 区), 40 km², 240,000 inhabitants;
- Wanli district (湾里 区), 254 km², 80,000 inhabitants;
- Qingshanhu District (青山 湖区), 220 km², 580,000 inhabitants;
- Xinjian District (新建 区), 2,338 km², 670,000 inhabitants;
- Nanchang county (南昌 县), 1,839 km², 1.07 million inhabitants, capital: Liantang municipality (莲塘 镇);

- District Jinxian (进贤县) 1,952 km², 720,000 inhabitants, capital: greater community Minhe (民和镇).
The historic city districts are relatively small for a city of millions. Outside the city limits, especially in the "large communities" to the west of the river, construction is currently underway on a large scale and on pre-developed areas. There are both serial residential high-rises as well as educational and community facilities, surrounded by parks and often loosened up with bodies of water or canals. According to rough estimates, another two to three million inhabitants will be settled here by 2012.
history
In the early Han Dynasty (201 BC) a city called Gàn was built. In 589 AD (Sui Dynasty) it was renamed Hongzhou and later Nanchang.
In the early Tang Dynasty (653 AD), Li Yuanying, brother of Emperor Taizong, built a building called Tengwang Ge .
In 675, Wang Bo , then 25 years old, wrote the classic Tengwang Ge Xu . The building and city became famous through Wang Bo's essay.
Even so, the building was destroyed and rebuilt 28 times. It last burned down in 1926. In 1989, Tengwang Ge was rebuilt as a 57 m high building, according to plans from the Song Dynasty.
In the 20th century, Nanchang became famous for its revolutionary tradition, as it was here that Zhou Enlai , who later became Prime Minister, and other communists, who later held high offices in the People's Republic, led the uprising of August 1, 1927. Since then, August 1st has been celebrated as the founding day of the People's Liberation Army . During the battle for Nanchang , the city was captured by the Japanese army on March 27, 1939.

In the ranking of the economically strongest metropolitan regions worldwide, the city took 143rd place. The GDP per capita is $ 18,516 (PPP). Nanchang employed 1.3 million workers of which 38.3% worked in industry. With 10.5% in the period from 2009 to 2014, GDP per capita grew very quickly
