Hunan Province is full of contrasts representing both ancient exotic China and the country’s new modern role as an economic superpower.
The province has numerous natural, historic and cultural sites including the beautiful natural wonders of Zhangjiajie, one of China’s sacred peaks in Nanyue Mountains and for those interested in politics Shaoshan, the birthplace of Chairman Mao ZeDong.
On the other hand, modern Hunan has her own reputation in Changsha, arguably, the entertainment capital of China. The city burst at the seams with international five-star hotels, thriving night-life, glitzy restaurants and multilevel shopping malls.
Hunan is close to other Southeast asian countries such as Thailand. You get to experience the booming China and travel to other Southeast asian countries a lot!
