Changsha | The Original Cyber Retro Style | Wen He You

When the first Wen He You opened in China, it shocked the whole network. This immersive commercial scene became popular nationwide and a must-visit destination in Changsha. It's said to attract even more visitors than 5A tourist attractions. You have to visit at least once, and since it's very crowded during the day, I chose to come after 12:00 at night, which turned out to be the right decision. ⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed address: Inside Hisense Plaza in Tianxin District, Changsha City, which is in the city center, within walking distance from Huangxing commercial area, IFC, etc. 🚗Transportation tips: Exit 2A of Xiangjiang Middle Road Station on Subway Line 2, 800 meters walk. 🕙Opening hours: 11:00-3:00, note that it really is open until 3:00 in the morning. This is especially friendly for those who like to take photos, as it gets much less crowded after 1:00, especially upstairs where you can take photos freely. 💰Ticket price: None 🌟Highlights: 👉Wen He You in Changsha is an 80s-style building with lots of snack bars and formal dining, but what's most special are the many photo-worthy scenes. The dilapidated old buildings, flickering neon lights, retro posters, and nostalgic grocery stores are all free to enter in an air-conditioned indoor environment. This immersive dining experience has, since 2018, pioneered a new form of business. Afterwards, similar venues opened one after another in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and even if they're not called Wen He You, other cities have similar commercial forms. It can be said that it has been replicated a lot. 👉In terms of food, most of the malls used to have very formal restaurants, but here, most are street snack style, with stinky tofu, milk tea, and crayfish being the main attractions. The entrance on the first floor is located on Xiangjiang Middle Road, also known as Yongyuan Street, which was transformed from a real street; the entrances on the third and fifth floors are inside Hisense Plaza, which is interconnected with Hisense Plaza. Each floor has photo spots for checking in, and you can explore for hours, but be careful, it's easy to get lost. 👉Changsha's nightlife is rich and varied, and this place is a representative of that. There are still many people walking on the nearby streets at two or three in the morning, probably because the city likes to eat late-night snacks. It's suitable for living and also very suitable for younger people. Pozijie and Huangxing Road Food City are nearby, and it's more interesting to stroll around at night than during the day. 📌Little Tips: It's been open for six years now, and the retro nostalgia trend in commerce is also becoming prevalent nationwide, gradually leading to aesthetic fatigue in many places. Wen He You in Shenzhen and Guangzhou are almost cooling down. Taking photos is generally enough after one or two visits, and it's necessary to think of other ways to attract traffic, such as hosting art exhibitions, performance movie spaces, celebrity press conferences, etc., to constantly create new topics.
