Introduction of scenic spots

Dongting Lake is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China, which is located in the north of Hunan Province in China and the south of Jingjiang reach of the Yangtze River. It is the fourth largest lake in China and the second largest freshwater lake in China, covering an area of 2,820 square kilometers. Dongting Lake is now the most important catchment and flood storage area in the Yangtze River basin. Due to the serious sediment deposition, the lake trough is divided into three parts: East Dongting Lake, South Dongting Lake and West Dongting Lake. Waterbirds are soaring on the lake, and hundreds of people are fighting for the flow. The water and sky are the same and the scenery is magnificent.

The lakeside scenery is extremely beautiful, and many scenic spots are national-level scenic spots, such as Yueyang Tower, Junshan, Dufu Tomb, Yangmaozhai, Tiejing Building, Quzi Temple, Yuelong Building, Confucian Temple, Longzhou Academy and other places of interest.
