Xiangtan, located in the center of Hunan Province, in the middle reaches of the Xiangjiang River, is one of the core members of the ChangZhuTan City Cluster and is known as the "Pearl of Xiangzhong". This famous historical and cultural city has prospered due to water, and has been an important commercial port in Hunan since ancient times. It is also famous in China and abroad for having nurtured great sages such as Mao Zedong, Peng Dehuai, Qi Baishi and so on. As the former residence of Comrade Mao Zedong, Shaoshan Chong has become a national patriotic education demonstration base, attracting countless tourists to trace the red footprints. In addition to the red culture, Xiangtan also boasts historical relics such as Zhaoshan, a thousand-year-old town, and Tongguan Kiln, a famous kiln of the Song Dynasty, which reflect the modern cityscape. As an old industrial base, Xiangtan has been actively transforming itself in recent years, with industries such as advanced equipment manufacturing and new materials flourishing, while relying on the ecological resources of the Xiangjiang River to create a livable and workable urban environment, showing the unique charm of blending tradition and modernity.
