Zhenyuan county, located in the east of Guizhou, belongs to Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture. From the map, there is a protruding part in the middle of Xiangxi, Hunan Province, which is adjacent to the east, just like a wedge, inserted in the concave part of the east of Guizhou. Zhenyuan county is at this convex-concave junction. I don't know which generation and which gentleman called Zhenyuan "the gateway to Hunan and Guizhou", which is indeed a unique eye.

The county is 85 kilometers long from east to west and 60 kilometers wide from north to south. It is narrow in the east and wide in the west, slightly triangular, with a total area of 1878 square kilometers (2.85 million mu), and borders Xinhuang, Hunan Province in the east.

Zhenyuan is one of the main producing areas of tung oil in China, and is known as the "hometown of tung oil" in history. Melons and fruits mainly include watermelon, melon, citrus, June peach (also known as peach), turmeric plum, chestnut and so on. Because of its good quality, it is very popular. The mountains here are green and the water is blue. The ancient and beautiful Wuyang River, like Taiji Map, hovers between two cities, and two large stone arch bridges cross the river like two ties, connecting the two cities. Zhenyuan has been an important landing place since ancient times, and it is also a shortcut and necessary place for the capital and the southwest border, as well as gifts and envoys from Annan, Myanmar, Siam, India and other countries. It is called the "Southern Silk Road".

Zhenyuan is inhabited by many ethnic groups such as Han, Miao, Dong, Tujia and Buyi, with rich ethnic customs and diverse folk customs. The Dong people's "March 3rd" Song Festival, the Miao people's "June 6th" Spring Festival, and the * * * Dragon Boat Festival of some ethnic groups are all lively and extraordinary events for 10,000 people. Zhenyuan has many famous specialties. Yin Tian is famous for its green tea, aged dishes, green tea and ethnic embroidery.

Nowadays, the transportation in Zhenyuan is very convenient, and the Hunan-Guizhou Railway and the Hunan-Guizhou Highway pass through the territory. Guzhen New Town is not only a material distribution center in southeastern Guizhou, but also a tourist transportation hub in southeastern Guizhou. Around it, there are famous scenic spots in Mai Po: Shibin and Yuntai Mountain in the west, huangping county and Feiyun Cliff in the west, Fan Jing Nature Reserve in the north, Dongzhai Drum Tower and Huaqiao in the south and Zhangjiajie in Hunan in the north.
