Changsha
Mt. Yuelu, which means the foot of Mt. Hengshan (Southern Mountain), is located on the west bank of Xiangjiang River and lies in the west of Changsha City. Mt. Yuelu is noted for its picturesque scenery. The towering trees that provide dense shade emerge through heavily planted foliage around the mountains and provide an instant sense of refreshment and vitality to the environment.
Orange Isle is located in the center of Xiangjiang River in Changsha City of Hunan Province, about 2 km (1.2 miles) from the East Gate of Mt. Yuelu. As the biggest inland island in China, it is honoured as the 'First Island in China'. According to records, Orange Isle was silted up by sand and stones in 305 A.D. and was composed of four smaller islands. As time passed, the four parts were connected and developed into one large island.
