As one of the key comprehensive universities under the Ministry of Education, Hunan University has been in China’s "Project 211" and "Project 985" for priority investment and development.


Changsha is the capital of Hunan Province (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changsha). The history of the city dates back to the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771 BC). The Xiang River runs across the city from south to north, with the Shui-Lu-Zhou Island at the center of the river. The famous Yuelu Mountain lies on the west bank of the river. The renowned historical attractions include the Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tomb (206 BC-AD 220) and the actual Yuelu Academy.
