With an area of 50 km2, it is located at the convergent part between Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou--the Youyang Autonomous County of Tujia and Miao Nationalities, 340 km away from the Chongqing downtown and 430 km from Changsha of Hunan Province.
It is connected with the outside through Qianjiang Wulingshan Airport, Chongqing-Huaihua Railway and Yuxiang Highway. The area consists of seven parts: the ancient Peach Blossom Garden, Fu His Cavity, Taohuayuan National Forest Park, the ancient city of Youzhou, Taohuayuan Square, Taohuayuan Town and the culture theme park of Taohuayuan in Eryou Mountain. They reflect the perfect and the most complete original pastoral landscape of Wuling Mountain as well as the colorful culture of Tujia and Miao nationalities.
The style is consistent with that of the “paradise” described in The Travel of the Peach Blossom Garden by Tao Yuanming and is an ideal destination for modernists to keep far away from social life, experience the countryside of Qin-Jin style and return to a green world.
