Hotels in Hunan, China

Hunan is a central Chinese province with a subtropical climate-hot and humid summers averaging 82°F (28°C) and mild winters around 41°F (5°C)-famous for the otherworldly sandstone pillars of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and fiery spicy cuisine. In summer, you can hike among the mist-shrouded peaks that inspired the floating mountains in Avatar, while winter is perfect for exploring Fenghuang's ancient stilt houses along the Tuo River without the crowds. Spring and fall bring pleasant weather to cruise the Li River near Wulingyuan or sample chili-heavy dishes in Changsha's street markets.
