Changsha City is located in the eastern and northern part of Hunan Province, downstream of Xiangjiang River, and on the western edge of Changliu Basin. Its geographical range is11153'-1415' in east longitude and 27 5 1 '-28 4 1' in north latitude. It is adjacent to Yichun and Pingxiang in Jiangxi Province in the east, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan in the south, Loudi and Yiyang in the west and Yueyang and Yiyang in the north. It is about 230 kilometers long from east to west and 88 kilometers wide from north to south. The city's land area is 1. 1.8 1.9 million square kilometers, of which the urban area is 556 square kilometers. Changsha has jurisdiction over five districts of Furong, Tianxin, Yuelu, Kaifu and Yuhua, three counties of Changsha, Wangcheng and Ningxiang and Liuyang City.

Changsha is the capital of People's Republic of China (PRC) (China) Hunan Province, located in the east of Hunan Province, and has jurisdiction over six municipal districts, two counties and one county-level city. Known as "Tanzhou" in ancient times, it is a famous city of Chu and Han, a famous city of mountains and rivers, a city of joy, and a sub-central city in the Middle Triangle (the middle reaches of the Yangtze River). As the first batch of historical and cultural cities in China, Changsha has a splendid history of ancient city civilization of 3,000 years, is the birthplace of Chu-Han civilization and Huxiang culture, is the political, economic, cultural, transportation and science and education center of Hunan Province, and is also the leading city of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration.

Changsha is one of the important central cities in southern China, and its comprehensive strength ranks among the top in China. The total economic output ranks second in Central China, second only to Wuhan, a leading city in Central China. At the same time, Changsha is committed to building an open cultural city in central China and a world-class tourist city with great international influence.

At present, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River are being built together with Wuhan, Nanchang and Hefei, echoing the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, creating a new growth pole for national planning key areas and national regional development.

Natural environment Changsha has a superior natural environment. The general geological characteristics are: complete outcrop, extensive distribution of granite, complex geological structure and rich mineral resources.

Various geological and geomorphological strata are exposed in Changsha, and the oldest stratum was formed about 654.38 billion years ago. About 600 million years ago, Changsha was still a sea of Wang Yang, but the sea was not deep. After that, the sea gradually withdrew from east to west, and most areas of Liuyang, Changsha and Wangcheng surfaced, becoming the northwest edge of Jiangnan ancient land. About/kloc-0.40 billion years ago, the seawater immersion in Changsha area ended and rose to land. Due to the influence of crustal movement and geological structure, a long-strip intermountain depression basin-Chang (Sha) Ping (Jiang) basin has been formed. Since Cenozoic, the whole Changping basin has risen to land. About 3.5 million years ago, the third ice age occurred on the earth, and Liuyang preserved the remains of glacial landforms. The overall characteristics of urban landforms are: large ups and downs, diverse landforms and developed surface water system. The northeast of Changsha is the northern section of the shogunate-Luo Xiao mountain system, the northwest is the eastern edge of Xuefeng Mountain, and the middle is the transition zone from Heng Chang hilly basin to Dongting Lake Plain. Surrounded by mountains at both ends of the northeast and northwest, the terrain is steep, and the middle gradually declines and tends to be flat, just like a saddle shape. Xiangjiang River runs obliquely through the central part from south to north, with rolling hills in the south and flat and open terrain in the north, which is shaped like a funnel opening to the north. The city is a gentle slope and flat hill composed of multi-level terraces. Orange Island in Xiangjiang River is 5 kilometers long, which is unique in China.

There are Li Anyun, Dawei Mountain and Jiuling Mountain in the east of Changsha. From northeast to southwest, it is arranged in a goose shape with parallel canyons. There are more than 50 peaks above 800 meters above sea level, with the highest peak at Qixingling 1607.9 meters above sea level. There are 13 peaks above 800 meters in the west of Changsha. Lake Qiaokou Station in Wangcheng County is 23.5 meters above sea level, which is the lowest point in the city. Difference between the highest point and the lowest point1584.4m. There are towering solitary peaks in Pinggang District, which are completely different from the surrounding flat land.

Most rivers in Changsha belong to Xiangjiang River system, with 302 tributaries over 5 kilometers, including 289 in Xiangjiang River Basin. According to tributaries, there are 24 first-class tributaries, 28 second-class tributaries 128 third-class tributaries 165438 and 32 fourth-class tributaries. Another 13 belongs to Zijiang River system; Form a fairly complete water system, and the river network is densely covered with the whole city. The average annual surface runoff is 8.265 billion cubic meters, and the runoff depth is 550 ~ 850 mm. The average annual runoff of Xiangjiang River flowing through Changsha City is 69.25 billion cubic meters, which is navigable all the year round. The city's hydropower reserves are 245,300 kilowatts, and the total groundwater reserves are 935 million cubic meters/year, which provides Changsha with abundant water resources, but now only 16.72% is used. Hydrological characteristics of Changsha: complete water system and dense river network; Plenty of water, rich in water resources; There is no ice in winter and the sediment concentration is low.

There are various soil types in Changsha, which can be divided into 9 soil types, 2 1 subclass, 85 soil genera, and 22 1 soil type, with a total area of 13662 mu, in which red soil and paddy soil account for 70% and 25% of the total soil area respectively. The rest are vegetable garden soil, fluvo-aquic soil, mountain yellow soil, yellow brown soil, mountain meadow soil, lime soil and purple soil, which are suitable for the growth of various crops.
