Welcome to Nanchang, which has its own uniqueness, but really depends on where they want to go. I'd be happy to show you guys around, but i think you need to handle some transportations fee or for some touristy spots.

When Marco Polo came to Hangzhou in the 13th century he declared that
"it is the most beautiful and elegant city in the world". First built
over 2,200 years ago, Hangzhou is one of the cradles of China's civilization.
Hangzhou used to the capital of Wu and Yue States in the 10th century during
the Five Dynasties period. The city began to prosper and flourish in the Tang Dynasty.
The city had its political heyday in the Southern Song Dynasty when it served
as the capital. Hangzhou witnessed rapid commercial boom in the Ming and Qing Dynasty.
Hangzhou's beauty attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists to its
exquisite West Lake (Xi Hu) area each year to enjoy the placid lake,
beautiful gardens, reflecting pools, lavish temples and friendly lakeside teahouses.
