I don't recommend visiting Changsha in December.

Changsha, a "spicy" and charming city, is both cold and lively in December. It's like a treasure trove of surprises waiting to be discovered. 🎁 Attractions Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area 📍Address: No. 58 Denggao Road, Yuelu District, Changsha 🎫Tickets: Free. Some attractions, such as Yuelu Academy, require a separate ticket (CNY 40 per person). ⏳Hours: 07:00–22:00. Yuelu Mountain in December is like a spilled palette. The mountain is covered with red maple leaves and evergreen plants. Climb the winding mountain road and overlook the Xiang River. The river breeze is refreshing and poetic. Surrounded by red maples, Aiwan Pavilion is full of ancient charm. It seems you can hear the sound of reading from a thousand years ago. 📖 Orange Isle Scenic Area 📍Address: No. 2 Juzizhou, Yuelu District, Changsha 🎫Tickets: Free. Sightseeing bus: CNY 40 per person (round trip). ⏳Hours: 07:00–22:00. Although the cold wind blows on the island, it is still popular. Walk to the end of the island, and you'll see the young Mao Zedong sculpture. It looks even more magnificent in the warm winter sun. The Xiang River glistens, and the river view and city skyline blend together. It's a great place to take photos. 📸 Hunan Museum 📍Address: No. 50 Dongfeng Road, Kaifu District, Changsha 🎫Tickets: Free. Reservation required. ⏳Hours: 09:00–17:00 (closed on Mondays). The museum is comfortable and has a constant temperature. In December, you can hide here and admire the treasures, such as the Mawangdui Han Tomb relics. Through the display cabinets, you can travel through time and space to talk with history and feel the profound Hunan culture. ✨ What to eat Stinky tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It smells bad but tastes good. Dip it in the special sauce, and it will burst with flavor in your mouth. Sugar oil baba is soft, glutinous, sweet, and shiny. It's chewy and soft. Steamed fish head with chopped chili is spicy, fresh, and fragrant. The tender fish is covered with chopped chili and steamed to perfection. It's perfect with a bowl of rice. 🍚 Where to stay Choose a hotel or homestay near Wuyi Square. It's in the city center. Go downstairs, and you'll find a bustling commercial street. You can eat, drink, and have fun. It's also convenient to visit attractions. You can take the subway or bus. 🚇 How to get there ✈️: After arriving at Changsha Huanghua International Airport, you can take the airport bus to the city center or take the maglev train and transfer to the subway. 🚄: There are many trains at Changsha Railway Station and Changsha South Railway Station. You can transfer to the subway after getting off the train and easily travel around the "Star City." Start your December trip to Changsha! 🎉
