It is situated in the second largest city of China’s Hunan Province---Hengyang, where Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Wuhan-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway, Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway, Hengyang-Zaomupu Expressway and Hengyang-Shaoyang Expressway find their ways there. With Mount Heng (one of the Five Sacred Mountains in China) lying to the north, Xiang River (one of the tributaries of China’s Yangtze River) running to the south, and Hengzhou Avenue and Riverside Avenue adjoining its eastern and western campuses respectively, HYNU can boast its favorable geographical position. It has a long history and profound cultural heritage, and has nurtured nearly 300,000 graduates over the past 100 years.
