Pingxiang (萍乡市) (lit. "duckweed village") is located on the west edge of Jiangxi Province, bordering Hunan Province.Although it is called a "city" ("市"), it is not equivalent to the western concept of a "city" (i.e. a continuous urban developed area). Pingxiang has a total area of 1,478 square miles. It has a population of 1.8 million (2006 figure), of which only a quarter lives in the urban area. It is primarily a commercial and transportation hub.

Administratively, it is comprised of 2 urban neighborhoods (Anyuan (安源区) in the middle, Xiangdong (湘东区) to the west), and 3 counties (Lianhua (莲花县) to the south, Shangli (上栗县) to the north, Luxi (芦溪县) to the east). Confusingly, Xiangdong, although called a neighborhood ("区"), is physically about the same area as the counties ("县").

By far the largest urban area ("城区") is located in Anyuan neighborhood, although the Anyuan neighborhood is much larger than the urban area. Unless otherwise noted, all attractions are in the Anyuan urban neighborhood.

Pingxiang has historically not been much of a tourist destination. They are actively trying to change that, focusing on the natural beauty, the events that occurred here important to early CCP history, and minority culture. However, they are still in the early stages of this process, so travelers should keep that in mind (e.g. minimal English is spoken).
