Changde

Changde, historically known as Wuling, is a prefecture-level city in northwest Hunan, situated on the west bank of Dongting Lake. Often described as the 'throat of Sichuan and Guizhou' and the gateway to Yunnan, it holds significant historical weight, particularly regarding the Battle of Changde during WWII. In recent years, the city has undergone massive development, featuring new high-rises, parks, and museums. A key attraction is the 3-kilometer Changde Poetry Wall along the Yuan River, recognized by Guinness World Records as the longest wall with engraved art. For hotel travelers, Changde offers a blend of ancient charm and modern infrastructure, making it an interesting destination for those exploring the region beyond major hubs.
