BEIJING. November 12. KAZINFORM - The province of Hunan is located in the southern part of China. The population is about 72 million people. This is not the most popular tourist route among foreigners in comparison with the north where you can see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. Although the southern province is fairly well known. Here you can find beautiful mountains and rivers, many ancient monuments. In the province there are more than 20,000 cultural relics and landscape attractions. Mao Zedong and Lao Tzu the inventor of paper were born in that place. Many scenes from "Avatar" movie have been shot in that place.
But I had a different route, the so-called industrial. This is an area that provides employment to millions of Chinese in the province. Acquainted with the industrial areas of China, I clearly realized the objective accuracy of the words of the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev which he voiced at the Government's session on October 11. The President said that with the implementation of the industrialization program Kazakhstan "hit the spot". And in China you can see the result of a multi-year rate of industrial race.
The program of the Asian media tour in the province of Hunan was organized by the famous Chinese newspaper ''China Daily''. Tour of the industrial-innovative enterprises has been very rewarding. Hunan is an agricultural region of China. But other than that there are factories for the production of transport equipment and food products in the province.
