Yueyang Dongting Lake Tourist Resort

Yueyang Dongting Lake Tourist Resort is located in the south of Yueyang City proper, with the vast Dongting Lake in the west, the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in the east, the central urban area in the north, and green mountains in the south. Relying on the Nanhu Lake, the resort plans to set up a tourism corridor around the Nanhu Lake. It focuses on the development of eco-tourism and leisure and entertainment industries. With the Hubin Garden in south of the Nanhu Lake as the carrier, it is planned to establish the Hubin Green Sci-tech Industrial Park, which will mainly develop high-tech industries and pollution-free, low-energy environmentally-friendly industries.

It has successfully held the first World Dragon Boat Racing Championship, the first National Water Sports Competition and other major activities, and created a well-known brand—Yueyang International Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon Boat Museum; Taibai poetry, wine, and tea; cruise ships and other projects are very popular among tourists.
