Driving In Downtown Yiyang | 4K | The Hometown of Bamboo | Hunan, China | 湖南益阳

Driving in downtown Yiyang is kind of special experience. Just like driving from modern to ancient, from developed city to old traditional town.

Yiyang, northern Hunan Province, southeast-central China.

The city is situated approximately 47 miles northwest of Changsha on the Zi River, to the south of Dongting Lake, on the main highway from Changsha to Changde farther to the northwest.

An ancient county, it was established in the 2nd century BC.

Its seat was originally sited northeast of the present city, but it moved in Tang (618–907) times.

From 589 it was a county subordinate to Changsha.

Yiyang traditionally has been a collecting center for agricultural and other products from the Zi River basin, and, until the latter part of the 20th century, most of its population engaged in the transport of timber, coal, mineral ores, and grain.

A long-established handicraft tradition was mostly based on local wood and bamboo.

More recently, Yiyang has also developed industrially, with operations that produce linen fabrics, paper, and processed foods and mine antimony.
