The Xiangjiang, Zijiang, Yuanjiang and Lishui Rivers converge on the Yangtze River at the Dongting Lake in the northern Hunan. In recent years, Hunan Province has been committed to promoting ecological development and reinforcing the overall governance of ecosystem composed mainly of mountains, rivers, lakes, forests and fields, in a bid to ensure blue skies and clean water and soil, as well as to create a beautiful landscape along the Yangtze River.
