Changsha is really fun, I will come again next time!
Changsha is really fun, there are so many delicious foods, and the people are super nice👍
Before going: Changsha has a lot of delicious food!
After going: There are too many delicious foods, I don't want to leave... (Don't worry about eating, you basically won't step on landmines, it's just that as a northerner, my body is a bit unaccustomed)
Tea Yan Yue Se: Recommend Sheng Sheng Oolong, You Lan Latte, Matcha Grapefruit (the iced version tastes better) Whenever you see Tea Yan Yue Se in every place, you must queue up to buy it, it's really good (also, there is none in the north)
Stinky Tofu: You can try the black classic oh
You must go to Orange Island Head, it's very photogenic, it's just that there are a lot of people (you can go early in the morning)
The night view of Fenghuang Ancient City is still good, but it's too commercialized, it's basically all travel photography, but the cost-performance ratio is still okay, if you have been to Lijiang Ancient City before, then it's not highly recommended here, there's not much difference.
Zhangjiajie's Seventy-Two Wonders Building is also quite recommended You don't need to buy a night ticket, it's very nice to take photos and check in across the street!
The scenery of Tianmen Mountain is really beautiful, you must go and see it yourself, the natural wonder (recommended tourist route A line, not tiring at all, remember to make an appointment a bit earlier)
The National Forest Park is still worth a visit, to feel the magnificence of the three thousand strange peaks and rocks, after all, you have already come to Zhangjiajie, it's really big inside, saw wild monkeys🐒 very cute, recommend entering and exiting from the east gate.
By the way, for those planning to travel to Hunan, you really don't need to check the weather forecast in advance, it's really useless, even the locals don't look at it, everyone just go and have fun, it's very comfortable to stroll around on cloudy and rainy days, sunny days are actually too hot, everyone just prepare an umbrella, the rain comes fast and goes fast!

Changsha | How to spend half a day upon arrival? Check-in at the popular photo spots in Orange Island
Just arrived in Changsha on the first day and only have half a day left for sightseeing, you can arrange it like this!
-Guangzhou South high-speed train🚄 direct to Changsha South 314/person 11:35-14:31 about three hours
-Check into the hotel around 15:00, I stayed near Wuyi Square for convenience~ It's indeed a bit noisy but still acceptable, rest a bit and head out to Orange Island at 16:00, take the subway line 2⃣️ directly, ps: remember to book in advance, tickets are free, take the sightseeing train back and forth for 40/person, 20 for students, it's recommended because walking is quite far~~ Pictures 1⃣️-4⃣️, there's not much to do in the scenic area, mainly to relax, feel the breeze, stroll around, take photos, and unwind, it's very suitable~~~
-Return to Wuyi Square around 18:00 to eat~ Changsha is full of delicious food, just eat whatever haha~ We went out from exit 9 and kept eating and strolling~
⚠️⚠️️Recommended shopping and eating route: Wuyi Square - Pozi Street - IFS - Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street - Huogongdian - Impression City - Nanmenkou Night Market - Du Fu Pavilion - Super Wen He You
All the above can be reached on foot nearby~ It's nice to stroll around but a bit tiring haha
ps: Du Fu Pavilion ticket is 11r, it's not necessary to go in, just stroll around, there are lots of singers and bands setting up stalls for song requests and such~ It feels like walking and listening to a concert
-After the stroll, return to the hotel at 22:00, take a hot shower to relieve fatigue, order some spicy crayfish and TeaYanYueSe takeout, watch a movie~ Edit photos and post to social circles, perfect ☑️

Finally took a photo with Chairman Mao at the head of Orange Island~|||The big screen at May 1st Square is good for taking pictures
|||The big screen at May 1st Square is good for taking pictures. It's really beautiful to catch the afterglow of the sunset🌇
We took the sightseeing car to the statue and then walked back. There are many parks along the way and the scenery is very beautiful. It's really comfortable to take a walk after dusk🎀
📍The atmosphere of taking pictures at the big screen of May 1st Square at the intersection of IFS International Finance Center and Huangxing Pedestrian Street is very strong💗

The sunset in Changsha is also romantically unswerving
In Changsha, there is a romantic appointment with the sunset. When the sunlight gently falls, the entire city seems to be surrounded by warm colors. 💖✨
The sunset is like a poem, gradually setting, dyeing the sky into a golden color. Its afterglow gently touches the earth, as if giving all life endless warmth and strength. At this moment, time seems to freeze, leaving only this beautiful moment. 🌅💞
With the setting of the sunset, the entire city gradually fell into tranquility. The busy streets quieted down, people stopped their hurried footsteps, and looked up at this beautiful sunset. It seems that at this moment, all troubles and fatigue are taken away by the sunset, leaving only purity and beauty. 😍💕
The sunset in Changsha is a feast for the eyes and the soul. It makes us feel the beauty and power of life, and also makes us full of expectations and hopes for tomorrow. 💪✨

Orange Island 🇨🇳 Changsha
A tourist spot with lots of Chinese characteristics.
Massive political statues ✅
Temples ✅
Local famous tea chain ✅
Gardens ✅
Famous residences ✅
A random tourist activity centre with buggies and caravans, and a shooting range ✅
A petit tram✅
What more could you want, it's a fun touristy day out.
Getting There- It's easiest to get a taxi to the main car parks on the island. Then you'll need to walk or use the petit trams to navigate the island and its many tourist spots. There is a main island path and a prominade too. For the massive figure head you'll need to register to get in with your passport or/and QR code.
You could spend an hour or a day here, but I would recommend an early start as the crowds can be quite big.

#lightthecity It was very hot when we went (we had to buy a manually powered fan for 25 yuan) and there were tons of people visiting so you have to queue up to wait but the lines are fast. You can walk the island yourself or take a tram. It is a few kilometers to walk and we were lazy so we took the tram. The highlight of the place is a giant statue of Young Mao. There is also a museum right by but it was closed. There are plenty of parks and other smaller attractions as well. Wish we would have spent a little more time here as there is a beach at the other end of the island that we missed. You can easily spend the bulk of the day here seeing all the different attractions.

After visiting Hunan University, I walked along the archway road to the Xiangjiang River. When I walked to the riverside, I could see a archway. At this time, I understood the meaning of the name of the archway road. I think this should be the location of the original Yuelu Academy archway ~
through the dyke of the river, down the stairs to the greenway, you can slowly walk along the river, there are many walks and rides The person who walks. Next to Xiangjiang River is the Changsha Xiangjiang Scenic Belt, which consists of more than ten leisure fitness squares, green belts and historical and cultural landscapes. It integrates functions such as flood control, sightseeing, tourism, leisure and fitness.
Unconsciously, the sundial is coming quietly. The shadow of the sun shines on the river, sparkling.
Working people, gradually returning home to rest; the traffic on the Orange Island Bridge gradually increased; the high-rise buildings on the shore gradually staged a gorgeous light show...
Orange is the Chairman Maos poem "Independent cold autumn, Xiangjiang North, oranges, head, see Wanshan red, layered forest to dye" in the orange continent. Xiwangyue Mountain, east to Changsha City, surrounded by water, stretches for dozens of miles, the shape is a long island, is a shock sandbar in the Xiangjiang River.
Oranges and Oranges have both the taste of the village and the hustle and bustle of the village, and the prosperity of the Chinese lanterns; the orange forest is a piece of film, the scenery is clear; the historical and cultural heritage is long and heavy; the floating cymbal is known as "China's first Continent."

We booked a king bed room, and the facilities in the room are very complete, especially the makeup remover, facial cleanser, and disposable toilet cover, which are very considerate. There is also a large projector in the room, which is great for watching movies.

Soaking in the pool, you can enjoy the beautiful river view and enjoy a pleasant time.
