Yiyang, Administrative division in Hunan Province, China

Located on the Zi River in Hunan province, Yiyang spans across 12,144 square kilometers and borders Hubei province to the north of Lake Dongting.

The establishment of Yiyang county dates back to 221 BC following the Qin conquest of the Chu state, with its name derived from its position on the Yi River.

The local language, Yiyong-Wa dialect, belongs to the New Xiang dialect group and maintains numerous ancient Chinese words and pronunciations different from standard Mandarin.

The city administration comprises two districts, one county-level city, and three counties, including Ziyang District, Heshan District, Yuanjiang City, Nan County, Taojiang County, and Anhua County.

The region produces specific variants of Xiang cuisine that incorporate pure chili peppers, while also maintaining substantial rice, tea, and bamboo agricultural production.
