Tuanzhou is a township of Huarong County, Yueyang City.[1] It is located on the south bank of Dongting Lake. The village is built on land that was reclaimed in 1977.[2] Before then, the area was covered by reed fields.[3] Due to the location on the confluence of two rivers flowing into Dongting Lake, it has a high risk of flooding, suffering from major floods in 1996 and 2024.[2]
On 19 July 1996, 14 died from flooding after a dyke failed in Tuanzhou.[4][5]
In 2006, the population was 25,610.[3]
On 5 July 2024, amidst heavy rainfalls and the 2024 China floods, the dyke on Dongting Lake was breached, inundating 48 km² of land, including several villages in Tuanzhou.[6][7] In August 2024, the provincial government announced a permanent relocation plan for all 21,462 residents of the area flooded in that year.[8]
