In recent years, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have attached great importance to the development of cultural industries, and built a large number of high-quality scientific, technological, educational, cultural and sports facilities, such as exhibition centers, gymnasiums and the Tenth Five-Year Middle School. The construction of community cultural centers and libraries, and the renovation and expansion projects of the Municipal Workers' Cultural Palace and Dongfeng Square have also achieved remarkable results.
Yueyang was awarded "20 14 China's happiest city" and "the city with the most cultural soft power". This is both a golden honor and a heavy responsibility.
