Mountains surround Jiangxi on three sides, with the [[Mufu Mountains]], [[Jiuling Mountains]], and [[Luoxiao Mountains]] on the west; [[Huaiyu Mountains]] and [[Wuyi Mountains]] on the east; and the {{Ill|Jiulian Mountains|zh|九连山}} ({{lang|zh|九连山}}) and [[Dayu Mountains]] in the south. The southern half of the province is hilly with ranges and valleys interspersed; while the northern half is flatter and lower in altitude. The highest point in Jiangxi is [[Mount Huanggang]] ({{lang|zh-hans|黄岗山}}) in the Wuyi Mountains, on the border with [[Fujian]]. It has an altitude of {{convert|2157|m}}.{{Cn|date=December 2024}}

The [[Gan River]] dominates the province, flowing through the entire length of the province from south to north. It enters [[Lake Poyang]] in the north, the largest freshwater lake of China; that lake in turn empties into the [[Yangtze River]], which forms part of the northern border of Jiangxi. Important [[Reservoir (water)|reservoirs]] include the [[Zhelin Reservoir]] in the northwest of the province on the [[Xiushui River]], and the {{Ill|Wan'an Reservoir|zh|万安水库}} in the upper section of the Gan.{{Cn|date=December 2024}}

Jiangxi has a [[humid subtropical climate]] (''Cfa'' under the [[Köppen climate classification]]), with short, cool, damp winters, and very hot, humid summers. Average temperatures are about {{convert|3|to|9|°C|°F}} in January and {{convert|27|to|30|°C|°F}} in July. Annual precipitation is {{convert|1200|to|1900|mm|in}}, much of it falling in the heavy rains occurring in late spring and summer.{{Cn|date=December 2024}}

[[Nanchang]], the provincial capital and the most densely populated city, is one of the largest Chinese [[metropolis]]es. Nanchang is the hub of [[Culture of Jiangxi|Jiangxi civilization]] throughout its history, which plays a leading role in the commercial, intellectual and industrial and political fields.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.china.com.cn/culture/txt/2008-11/26/content_16834445_3.htm |title=www.china.com.cn |publisher=China.com.cn |date=2008-11-26 |access-date=2012-12-24}}</ref> [[Ganzhou]] is the largest subdivision of Jiangxi.
