The Xiang River bend
The river curves through the city in a wide loop, dividing it into two banks. It is the clearest and most graceful shape on the map.

The map
Xiangtan is built along the Xiang River, the main river of Hunan province. Here the Xiang makes a wide, looping bend, and the city spreads along both banks, following the curve. The water gives the map a strong, sweeping line through the centre, crossed by several bridges that link the older and newer halves.
The city is one of three that together form the Chang-Zhu-Tan urban area with Changsha and Zhuzhou, and the three have grown steadily towards each other. Xiangtan has long been a trading and industrial centre. The old river port core lies close to the water, while newer districts extend on a larger scale away from the bank.
Shaoshan, the birthplace of Mao Zedong, lies within Xiangtan's administrative area, and many visitors pass through on their way there. A Xiangtan map poster shows a river city in the plainest terms: one great bend of water, and the streets that have grown up on both sides of it.
The river curves through the city in a wide loop, dividing it into two banks. It is the clearest and most graceful shape on the map.
Several bridges span the Xiang and stitch the two halves together. They appear as short straight lines across the wide water.
The older parts of the city sit close to the water, with denser and more irregular streets than the newer districts further out.

Why Xiangtan
Xiangtan is home to many who studied, worked or grew up by the Xiang. A print of the river bend carries that memory and also works as a clean graphic on the wall.
