About Orange Island

Orange Island is located in the center of the Xiangjiang River in Changsha City, Hunan Province, at 28°10′23.40″ north latitude and 112°57′18.36″ east longitude. It is one of the many alluvial sandbars in the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River. Orange Island faces Yuelu Mountain to the west and Changsha City to the east. It is surrounded by water and is 5 kilometers long. It is about 40 meters across at its narrowest point, about 140 meters across at its widest point, and only more than 300 meters at its widest point. The island is long and narrow, shaped like a long dragon. The Juzizhou Bridge spans from above, 1 kilometers away from the center of Changsha. The area is 0.614 square kilometers. Judging from the natural evolution process, Juzizhou is a typical first-level terrace formation formed during the Holocene period of the Quaternary Period.
