Shaoshan, Political administrative center in Xiangtan Prefecture, China
The county-level city of Shaoshan extends across 247 square kilometers of hilly terrain, with Mount Shaofeng rising to 518 meters above sea level.
The State Council elevated Shaoshan to county-level city status in December 1990, marking a new phase in the administrative organization of Hunan Province.
The founding legend connects Emperor Shun to the area, where his performance of the Music of Shao attracted phoenixes and gave the city its name.
Shaoshan maintains two major towns, Qingxi and Yintian, along with Shaoshan Township and Yanglin, following administrative adjustments implemented in November 2015.
The region receives 1435 millimeters of annual precipitation, supporting agricultural activities across the varied topography of eastern Hunan Province.
