Changsha, an ancient urban center in the state of Chu during the first millennium BC, has a captivating history. This city has seen its fair share of conflicts, sometimes being absorbed into Han China proper, and other times asserting its independence. It was in Changsha that Mao Zedong, a young country boy from the nearby village of Shaoshancong, began his political journey. During World War II, Changsha became a symbol of Chinese resistance as it successfully defended itself against the Japanese invasion. The majestic Xiangjiang river flows through this remarkable city, adding to its allure.
