Yueyang Travel Guide

The city of Yueyang, Hunan Province, is situated on the eastern bank of the Yangtze River where the river exits the northeastern edge of Lake Dongting, the bladder lake, if you will, that expands and contracts with the excess level of the Yangtze River, and which lake is thus a natural overspill reservoir, or flood basin, for the river that courses through it (Lake Poyang, about 250 kilometers due east of Lake Dongting serves the same bladder-like function for the Yangtze River, only on an even larger scale). The city of Yueyang has been inhabited as far back as BCE 1000. In CE 210, during the close of the Eastern Han (CE 25-220) Dynasty and just before the Three Kingdoms (CE 220-280) Period emerged in the wake of the dissolution of the Han Dynasty, this strategically important city (from a military/ naval viewpoint) was made into a prefecture called Hanchang.
