The terrain is a horseshoe-shaped landform surrounded by mountains on three sides and opening to the north. It consists of plains, basins, hills, mountains, and rivers. It is composed of a lake and spans two major river systems, the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. It has a subtropical monsoon climate.

Hunan climate

Hunan has a humid continental subtropical monsoon climate. The climate has three characteristics: first, it is rich in light, heat and water resources, and the high values ??of the three are basically synchronized. . Second, the climate changes greatly within the year. Winters are cold and summers are hot, spring temperatures are changeable, autumn temperatures drop sharply, spring and summer are rainy, and autumn and winter are dry. The inter-annual variability of climate is also large. Third, the areas with the most obvious vertical changes in climate are mountainous areas surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is especially obvious in the mountainous areas of western Hunan and southern Hunan.

The weather in Hunan changes drastically in spring, with sudden cold and warm weather. Although the temperature gradually warms up in spring, the cold air from the north and south can still frequently invade Hunan, causing the temperature to drop suddenly, accompanied by strong winds, hail, heavy rain and other violent events. The convective weather process occurs. After the cold air passes, the weather clears up after the rain, and the temperature quickly rises.
