Yueyang is the most popular place to develop tourism. Beautiful landscapes and profound Huxiang culture complement each other. The 800-mile Dongting is full of soup, and Yueyang Tower is famous at home and abroad. The famous sentence in Yueyang Tower, "Worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later", has become the essence of the Chinese national spirit. Qu Yuan died in Miluo River, leaving behind immortal poems such as Lisao, and Yueyang became the birthplace of dragon boat culture in China. There are also human landscapes such as Junshan Island with a "silver plate and green snail", Zhangguying Village, an ancient architectural complex in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the site of Yao ancestors, which have profound cultural connotations. There are many picturesque natural scenery such as the East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve, Tuanhu Lake, Danxia Wonder Shiniu Village and Mufu Mountain, which are listed in the United Nations Convention on Wetlands. Site of the pingjiang uprising, Ren's former residence and other revolutionary memorial sites are covered with red footprints. With the acceleration of urbanization, the streets in the city are criss-crossed, the peripheral trunk roads are looped, and the sidewalks are spectacular, making Yueyang more beautiful.
Yueyang is the most suitable economic hinterland for developing commerce and trade. It is located in the hub of the two economic circles of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta in the west and north, and the center of the Yangtze River, Wuhan and Nanchang metropolitan economic circles. Large-scale people flow and logistics from Tongjiang to the sea, from the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the south, all pass through Yueyang, which has the advantages of large-scale inflow and outflow of various production factors, large concentration and large dispersion. The vast number of merchants invest in the tertiary industry, especially the emerging service industry, real estate industry and infrastructure projects, with a broad market.
