湖南省省会，是长江中游地区重要的中心城市，全国“两型社会”综合配套改革试验区、中国重要的粮食生产基地， 长江中游城市群和长江经济带重要的节点城市，是综合交通枢纽，气候温和，四季分明，湘江穿城而过。
中南大学，简称“中南”。是中华人民共和国教育部直属、中央直管副部级建制的全国重点大学,位列国家“世界一流大学建设高校A类”、“985工程”、“211工程”、入选国家“2011计划”牵头高校、“111计划”等多种国家级高校项目。
湖南大学，简称“湖大”。是教育部直属全国重点大学，教育部、工业和信息化部、湖南省人民政府、国家国防科技工业局共建高校。位列国家“世界一流大学建设高校”、“985工程”、“211工程”、入选国家“2011计划”牵头高校、“111计划”等多种国家级高校项目。
橘子洲，位于湖南省长沙市岳麓区的湘江中心，是湘江下游众多冲击沙洲中面积最大的沙洲，也是世界上最大的内陆洲，被誉为“中国第一洲”。橘子洲有毛泽东青年艺术雕塑、问天台等景点，是国家5A级旅游景区。
长沙是首批国家历史文化名城，历经三千年城名、城址不变，有“屈贾之乡”、 “楚汉名城”、“潇湘洙泗”之称。有马王堆汉墓、四羊方尊、三国吴简、岳麓书院、 铜官窑等历史遗迹。凝练出“经世致用、兼收并蓄”的湖湘文化。
长沙境内主要以湘菜为主，战国时期，西汉时期，湖南的菜肴品种就达109个，烹调方法也有九大类。 明、清两代，是湘菜发展的黄金时期，湘菜的独特风格基本定局。民国初年，出现了著名的戴派、盛派、肖派和祖庵派等多种流派， 奠定了湘菜的历史地位。
