About Yueyang: Yueyang was called Baling in ancient times, and is also known as Bazhou. It is located in the lower reaches of Xiangjiang River in the northeast of Hunan Province, at the estuary of Dongting Lake into the Yangtze River. Perhaps the most famous thing in Yueyang is the Yueyang Tower on the edge of Dongting Lake. Fan Zhongyan composed "Yueyang Tower Notes" in the Northern Song Dynasty and made it famous. In addition, there are scenic spots such as Junshan Island, Lingwu Mountain, Quzi Memorial, Tieshan Reservoir and Dayunshan National Forest Park. There are also revolutionary memorial sites such as the former site of the Pingjiang Uprising and the Ren Bishi Memorial Hall.
