8、Hunan, “Xiang” for short, is a province of south central China. It has a total population of about 65,000,000 and covers some 212,000 square kilometers, with its modern capital city Changsha and its famous Dongting Lake. There are many places of interest like world-famous Zhangjiajie. It is also rich in various natural resources and home to fish and rice.

The most attractive and impressive are its unique culture and customs. Quyuan, a patriotic poet, committed suicide by throwing himself into the Miluo River for concerning about his kingdom and people. The story of his death and the search for his body started the tradition of Dragon Boat Festival. Chairman Mao, idol of the Chinese people, was born in Shaoshan, which has become an attractive historic site for tourists.

So we can see Hunan is really a paradise that has cultivated a lot of great people. Living in such a good place, I feel very happy; being a member of Hunan, I am proud of. With its development in all aspects, I’m sure our lives will get better and better.
