I visit a Buddhist Temple within the city of Nanchang with a friend yesterday. We took a cab from Nanchang University, but I don't know the name of it and would like to find pictures and other information about the temple that I visited.
My friend said there was no direct Chinese/English translation.

What do you suggest? the cheapeast or fastest way?
Thankyou all!

Ms.elaineli(china) replied:
You'd better not take bus there.Bus travel may be tired and take too much time.The fastest way of course is the plane.And if you take train,it's about ten hours more or less.I suggest traveling by plane.
Nanchang is my hometown,a beautiful and historical city.Enjoy yourself in nanchang!!!

Mrs.Last(United States) replied:
Hello Mr. Bevin: This is Cathy in the United States. My daughter was born in Linchuan, in JiangXi Province. I adopted her in 1996. My entire family (husband, 2 children) plan to return to China this summer and want to spend time in LinChuan because my daughter's foster family lives there. Can you recommend a hotel in Linchuan with Western style features (especially Western bathrooms). How much would such a place cost to stay there a week. Also, we will need a driver and translator...how does one hire people to drive and translate back and forth into English for us. Thank you for any ideas.
