An Ancient Cultural City Famous for Mt. Hengshan & Shigu Academy
Hengyang is also known as 'Wild Goose City' because flocks of wild geese flying south for the winter have been known to stop there to rest. Due to its advantageous location adjacent to Guangdong Province and near the Xiangjiang River, the city has been a major commercial center since ancient times. Hengyang boasts beautiful natural views and many historical sites. The Mt. Hengshan, Cailun Bamboo See and Jiangkou Bird Islet can be taken into consideration for a nature exploration in Hengyang. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the Shigu Academy, is one of the four well-known Chinese academies as well as a hot spot in Hengyang where tourists can not only enjoy the ancient buildings and but also enjoy old Chinese academic culture. As the second largest city in Hunan, Hengyang also enjoys the reputation of the hometown of nonferrous metals. There are more than 20 kinds of nonferrous metals with huge reserves such as lead, copper and tungsten.
