Dao County gets the name “the Lotus City” because of a lot of lotuses in the town and a famous man who loved lotus.

As a big town that lies in the south of Hunan, China, Dao County has a long history of more than 2,000 years.It's warm in spring, hot in summer, cool in autumn and cold in winter.

Dao County is a town with a population of more than 800,000.Many great people were born here and made great differences in history.Zhou Dunyi, the father of Neo-Confucianism(理学), who loved lotuses, spent his childhood in a small village, studying in a cave behind his house.He Shaoji, famous for his calligraphy(书法), always practiced writing near the Xiaoshui River.He Baozhen, a brave woman, lost her valuable life for New China.And another brave man, Chen Shuxiang, though born in Changsha, died in Dao County at the age of 29.Both of them died for the people when they were very young, but they will live in the hearts of people forever.

Being a good place, Dao County has its own railway station and a few highways.It is about 400 kilometers away from Changsha, Guangzhou and Nanning.There is an international airport in Guilin, which is about 200 kilometers away from Dao County.These make Dao County very important in Southern Hunan.

Dao County is also a great place to travel.It is known for its special local food, such as Daozhou Grey Goose, Navel Orange and red melon seeds.During the Dragon Boat Festival every year, the most exciting dragon boat race is held on the Xiaoshui River.More than 100 dragon boats race on the clean waters of the Xiaoshui River, and nearly all people in the county come to cheer on (为……鼓劲) the boats they like.This is one of the largest dragon boat races in China.
