With spectacular mountains, tranquil rivers, and religious beliefs, the city has always been called a "Bright Pearl in Southern China".

Hengyang is the second largest city in Hunan with a history of more than 2,000 years. With a mild climate, spectacular mountains, tranquil rivers, and a picturesque landscape, the city has always been known as the "Bright Pearl in Southern China," as well as "Wild Goose City". According to the legend, every winter wild geese come and stay here for a short rest before they continue to fly southward.

This historic and cultural city, known for its profound wisdom, deep religious tradition and  rich culture, is also an agriculturally prosperous area producing an abundance of fish and rice.

Hengyang is richly endowed with natural beauty. Mount Hengshan is one of the Five Sacred Mountains in China. In winter, the soft rimes on the mountain make up a rare and marvelous natural phenomenon in Southern China. Buddhist and Taoist religious traditions were once practiced in numerous large and small temples on the Mountain. These ancient temples and traditions continue to attract followers and tourists from all over the world, winning it the title of "The Peak of Longevity". In addition, the Jiangkou Bird Isle, a paradise famous for housing thousands of birds in lush trees and bamboo, also attracts thousands of researchers and tourists from all over the world.
