Hello Mr. Hahn. How are you?
The sentences have some basic faults. To say what you want to say, you would construct them something like this.
.
1) It(that place) is being rain = It is raining in Hunan.
.
2) It(that place) has been being rain = It has been raining in Hunan.
At its basic level, The phrases, IT IS RAINING and IT HAS BEEN RAINING are all that you need.

No. They are not natural.
1) It is being rained on. <-- This sentence is more correct grammatically, but it is still not natural. It also means, "That thing is being rained on," not, "That place." A better sentence is, "It's raining there."
2) It has been raining there. <- This sentence means, "It's raining there," and also that the rain started a while ago.
