Jingzhou is located in the south-central part of Hubei Province, the hinterland of Jianghan Plain in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the lower reaches of Hanshui River. Jingzhou, also known as Jiangling, is one of the first 24 historical and cultural cities in China.

Jingzhou has a flat terrain, mild climate, criss-crossing rivers and dotted lakes. There are 92 rivers with basin area exceeding 100 square kilometers, and the Yangtze River flows through this area for 453 kilometers.

Jingzhou, with a long history and splendid culture, is the birthplace of Chu culture and one of the concentrated places of Three Kingdoms culture. According to legend, Jingzhou was only available when Yu planned Kyushu. In ancient times, Jingchu referred to the same area, and the meaning of Jingchu was originally the name of the same tree. According to historical records, Jingchu, as a place, was called Jing first and then Chu. In Shang Dynasty, Chu, the land of Jingzhou, was brought under the jurisdiction of Shang Dynasty as a square country. The Zhou Dynasty sealed Xiong Yi, the first monarch of Chu State, with the title Jing in Danyang. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, King Chu Cheng changed Jing to Chu.
