Hunan University (http://www.hnu.edu.cn/) is situated at the foot of the Yuelu Mountain and on the west bank of the Xiang River in Changsha, capital city of Hunan Province. The University originated from one of the four famous Academies of the Song Dynasty, the Yuelu Academy, which is the only one of the ancient Chinese academies of classical learning to have evolved into a modern institution of higher education. 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.
