Taoyuan (Hunan Province)
Taoyuan is considered a possible location for the idyllic place mentioned in the ancient Chinese essay "Peach Blossom Spring Story" by Tao Yuanming, a writer during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420).
The essay describes a tranquil, beautiful Xanadu, isolated completely from the outside world. Now a fishing village, Taoyuan's vast peach orchards and the paddy fields provide echoes of ancient times.
