Jingzhou

Jingzhou, on the banks of the Yangtze River in southern Hubei, holds one of China's longest-continuously-occupied ancient city sites — a walled historic centre dating to the Warring States period, when it served as the capital of the State of Chu, and later a key site during the Three Kingdoms era. The ancient city walls within Jingzhou District are among the best-preserved of their kind in central China, and the city sits amid a landscape of rivers and lakes, with Honghu the largest in the province.
