Yueyang

Gateway to northern Hunan on the shore of Dongting Lake, where the famous Yueyang Tower and Pingjiang's mountains and waters are the highlights.

Yueyang lies in northeastern Hunan, bordering Dongting Lake and backed by the Yangtze to the north. Yueyang Tower is one of the three great towers south of the Yangtze and is famous thanks to Fan Zhongyan's "Record of Yueyang Tower". Junshan Island in Dongting Lake is known for its Junshan Silver Needle tea and its legends, and in winter you can see migratory birds on the lake. Pingjiang County has mountain and water scenery such as Shiniuzhai and Mufu Mountain, and Pingjiang spiced dried tofu is a well-known snack. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit. The gateways are Yueyang East high-speed rail station and Yueyang Sanhe Airport, and the Beijing–Guangzhou railway runs through the area.
