Located in Hunan Xiangjiang New Area, Meixi Lake has transformed from a former vineyard into an international new city, showcasing an extraordinary metamorphosis. The Changsha in One Minute micro-video series highlights this remarkable journey.

At the start of the 21st century, the development of the Meixi Lake area began, and iconic structures like the Twin Towers and Jinmao Tower rose to prominence. The Meixi Lake International Culture and Arts Centre, designed by Zaha Hadid, blooms like a lotus, harmoniously blending Chinese and Western cultures. In 2013, the “China Knot” pedestrian bridge was named one of the world’s most sensual architectural designs. Additionally, landmarks such as Asia's longest musical fountain and the world's largest double-helix steel structure have made their mark.

With its exceptional ecological environment, Meixi Lake serves as a model for artificial lake management, thanks to innovative technologies developed in Hunan Xiangjiang New Area. The Meixi Lake International New City has also been recognized as a "near-zero carbon demonstration area," winning numerous awards for green ecology and smart city development.

As a key component of Changsha’s role as a global R&D hub, the National Intelligent Connected Vehicle Testing Zone within Xiangjiang New Area lays the foundation for Changsha’s reputation as a city of intelligent driving. Meixi Lake is accelerating its entry into the “Central Axis Era,” connecting major clusters of technological innovation, talent, and industrial resources. Looking ahead, the area is poised to lead the development of a global R&D center city.

Meixi Lake is more than just a body of water; it is a paradigm of ecological harmony, urban-industry integration, and innovation-driven development. It epitomizes the coexistence of lakes and cities, nature and culture, painting a vibrant picture of sustainable growth.
