Is tap water safe to drink in Jiangxi?

Tap water in Jiangxi is generally not safe to drink directly. It is recommended to always drink bottled water or boil tap water first. Most hotel rooms provide an electric kettle and complimentary bottled water.

Bottled water is widely available and very affordable at convenience stores, supermarkets, and tourist sites. Popular brands include Nongfu Spring and C'estbon.

When dining out, tea is often served hot and is safe to drink. Be cautious with ice in drinks at smaller street stalls, although it is usually fine in larger restaurants and international chains.
