Xiangxi is a tributary on the north bank of the Yangtze River, which flows into the Yangtze River at Xiangxi Town at the west entrance of Xiling Gorge.

The "Mingfei Village" in the upper reaches of Xiangxi County and northwest of Xingshan County is the hometown of Wang Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty.

Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a famous poem: "Thousands of mountains and valleys go to Jingmen, and there are still villages where bright concubines and concubines grow."

During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the Huns called Hanxie Chanyu to enter the court to seek peace and marriage.

Wang Zhaojun voluntarily married the Xiongnu, which played a certain role in establishing a harmonious relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.

The story of "Zhaojun's departure from the fortress" has become a good story in the history of unity and harmony between the two major ethnic groups, the Han and the Xiongnu.

The water of Xiangxi River is evergreen all year round, with turquoise green through the bottom, which contrasts with the clear and turbid water of the Yangtze River.

According to legend, before Zhaojun left the fortress, he washed his face and dressed up by the stream. The pearls on his necklace fell into the stream. From then on, the stream became clear and fragrant, with a fragrant aroma. This is how Xiangxi got its name.

For more than 2,000 years, this touching story has been passed down to this day.

Zhaojun's image of beauty, kindness, wisdom and diligence has always lived in the hearts of the people.
