About
About Zhuzhou
Zhuzhou (Chinese: 株洲; pinyin: Zhūzhōu, joo-joh), formerly Jianning (建宁), is a prefecture-level city of Hunan Province, China, straddling the Xiang River southeast of the provincial capital, Changsha, and bordering Jiangxi province to the east.
The history of Zhuzhou can be traced back to ancient times and spans thousands of years. Dating back thousands of years, Zhuzhou has been the foundation of numerous ancient civilizations. The ancestor of the Chinese nation, Emperor Yan Shennong, established a magnificent farming civilization on this land. The city of Zhuzhou is known as "the city pulled by the train" because, at the start of the 20th century, it was an inland city with an underdeveloped economic base. However, with the construction and development of railways, Zhuzhou has gradually become an important transportation hub.
