| |
Hunan lies in the central south of China and contains some of the most fertile land in the country. It is surrounded by mountains in the west, south and east and by the Yangtze River in the north. The mixture of mountains and water make the nature of the province very special. For thousands of years it has been an important center of agriculture, rice, tea and oranges.
A number of prominent Communist leaders were born in the province, including Mao Zedong himself. Shaoshan, the home village of Mao, and Changsha where he was educated, have become popular destinations for tourists.
But Hunan is also home to two of China’s most popular national parks – Wulingyuan and Zhangjiajie, famous for its unique sandstone pillars and the sub-tropical forest. And in addition, the province is -together with Sichuan- known for its especially spicy cuisine. |
