The Olympic torch will set out its relay in Nanchang, the capital city of

The route arranged

Bayi Square, or August 1st Square, the
starting point of the Olympic torch relay, was built after the founding of the
People's Republic of China in 1949. Covering an area of 78,000 square meters,
the square is now a major recreation ground for city
dwellers.
