Should I reserve seats on trains from Nanchang?

China Railway high-speed trains from Nanchang use assigned seats, so passengers book a specific train and seat category such as Second Class, First Class, or Business Class where offered. Conventional Z, T, and K trains also require a booked seat or sleeper berth for long-distance travel. Book earlier for Friday evenings, Sunday returns, Chinese New Year, and National Day Golden Week, when Nanchang departures can fill quickly.
