Hunan Food Travel

In this page I provide some basic information on Hunan food travel: Hunan map, famous Hunan food and attractions. Click each picture and link you will open a new page which contains more details. I will update this page and add more useful content for visitors in the future.

Here I provide something interesting about Hunan, hopefully you will find something useful.

This page will be regularly updated so if you want to get the latest update on Hunan food travel, you may subscribe the site RSS feed.

Hunan Map

Hunan Province is located at the south of China. The name in Chinese is 湖南, means "south of lake" (the Lake Dongting). 

Here I created a Google map with some Hunan attractions marked in the map, which are the places I would certainly recommend to my friends to visit, such as Zhangjiajie, Fenghuang (Fenghuang Ancient Town / Phoenix City), Lake Dongting, Yueyang Tower, Shaoshan (Former Residence of Chairman Mao, if you are into politicians) and Changsha, the capital city of Hunan.

Note, the place is only marked roughly, therefore it may not exactly match the attraction's location. Such as I only add the mark on Zhangjiajie city, but not Zhagjiajie Forest Park. But you can zoom in the map to find out the attraction is not far away.
