General presentation
Zhuzhou and Liling
Railway industry, ceramics and memory of Emperor Yan characterize the eastern Hunan.
The discovery of Zhuzhou and Liling is based around the Liling Ceramic Museum, the Zhuzhou Museum and the Xiang River in Zhuzhou. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Liling Ceramic Museum
The museum presents porcelain undercover and techniques developed in local ovens. Collections and remains take time to exceed a simple photographic stop; a visit to the museum helps to understand their regional historical context.
Museum
Zhuzhou Museum
The collections link regional history, railway industry and cultures of the Xiang Valley. The collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit helps to understand their regional historical context.
River
Xiang River in Zhuzhou
The great tributary of the Yangzi crosses the central districts and structures the city's walks. The season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; it is also necessary to respect the fragile banks and the possible local restrictions.
Place indismissible
Parc Shennong de Zhuzhou
An urban park and a high tower honour Emperor Yan on the edge of the Xiang. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, adapted shoes and time margins remain useful outside the cities.
