Chenzhou, Administrative division in Hunan Province, China

Chenzhou extends across 19,317 square kilometers at the intersection of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Guangdong provinces, featuring mountains, lakes, and forests.

The region transformed from Guiyang Commandery during the Qin dynasty to receive its current designation as Chenzhou in 735 under Tang administration.

The name character 郴 translates to 'City in the Forest', reflecting the deep connection between local communities and the surrounding natural environment.

The 2020 opening of Chenzhou Beihu Airport established direct flight connections to multiple Chinese metropolitan centers, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

The area produces eight regional food specialties, including Linwu duck, Zilong County Tanzi pork, and Yongxing roast chicken prepared with local spices.
