NO.8 Juzi Island(橘子洲)

Juzi Island, also known as Ju Island or Orange Island, is a shoal located in the center of Xiangjiang River, opposite Hunan"s capital city of Changsha. It was named after the oranges scattered across the island during the harvesting season.

橘子洲，又名橘洲，是一個淺灘，位于湖南省省會長沙市區(qū)對面湘江江心。收獲時節(jié)，洲上橘子成熟，橘子洲也因此得名。

Formed in 305, the island got its name in the six century, from the poem of a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). 140 meters long and 40 meters wide, the island looks like a huge green vessel, covered in a carpet of flourishing trees. It is believed to be the largest inland islet in the world and is now a popular site for summer relaxing in Changsha as temperatures never go soaring high, not even May to July.

橘子洲形成于公元305年，于公元6世紀唐代一著名詩人的詩中得名。橘子洲長140米，寬40米，像極了一艘披著繁榮樹木之毯的綠色大船。橘子洲被認為是世上最大的小島，現(xiàn)在它已成了長沙夏日度假的好去處，因為即使在五月到七月，那里的氣溫也從不飆高。
