'''Yingtan''' ({{lang-zh|s=鹰潭 |t=鷹潭 |p=Yīngtán|l=Eagle Pond}}) is a [[prefecture-level city]] in the east of [[Jiangxi]] province, People's Republic of China, bordering [[Fujian]] to the southeast. Its location near the trisection of Jiangxi, Fujian, and [[Zhejiang]] has made it a strategically important city for centuries. Today, it continues to be a major [[rail transport]] hub. It is best known as the ''Capital of Copper'', and located here is [[Jiangxi Copper]] and its the [[Guixi Smelter]].

Near the city of Yingtan is the resort area of [[Mount Longhu]], which purports to be the birthplace of [[Taoism]] and hence, has great symbolic value to Taoists.  The region has many interesting temples, cave complexes, mountains, and villages.

==Administration==
The municipal executive, legislature, and [[Intermediate People's Court|judiciary]] are in [[Yuehu District]] ({{lang|zh-hans|月湖区}}), together with the [[Communist Party of China|CPC]] and [[Public security bureau (China)|Public Security]] bureaus.

Yingtan oversees two districts and a county-level city:
*[[Yuehu District]] ({{lang|zh-hans|月湖区}})
*[[Yujiang District]] ({{lang|zh-hans|余江区}})
*[[Guixi City]] ({{lang|zh-hans|贵溪市}})

===Tourism Zone===
* [[Mount Longhu|Longhu Mountain Scenic Area]] ({{lang|zh-hans|龙虎山风景旅游区}})
