The local government has also gone abroad to promote its tourism industry and has set up offices in such countries as Australia, South Korea and Japan to offer services, officials said.

Cao Lijun, Party chief of Liuyang, welcomes visitors from around the world to the city, known as China's fireworks capital.

Liuyang is a county-level city governed by Changsha.

There is also a very famous song named Liuyang River, composed in 1950, which helps the city beckon numerous visitors.

A karaoke favorite, the song is about the river and the nearby village of Shaoshan, where Chairman Mao Zedong was born.

The Dawei Mountain National Forest Park, a national 4A scenery area, is located in Liuyang.

It has the largest Rhododendron area in Central China.
