Changsha | For this statue, I finally made it to Orange Isle!

🚉After visiting Yuncheng in Shanxi and seeing the small Orange Isle at Wu Family Lake, how could I miss the real Orange Isle while in Changsha! 🚅For this statue, after a year's wait, I finally saw it at Orange Isle in Changsha! This iconic structure is about 3km from the park entrance, so take the mini train if you're short on time. The great man's statue stands at the end of the island, and it's truly impressive up close. If you look carefully at Chairman Mao's eyes, you'll see they're actually made from two pieces of wood, which gives them a remarkably lifelike quality. 🏝️Orange Isle is a small island in the middle of the Xiang River, surrounded by water with beaches, grasslands, lakes, and cruise boats - it has everything! It's a great place for locals to relax and for family outings. 🚂How to smoothly ride the mini train without queuing on holidays: After entering, pass the sightseeing car ticket center on your left and keep walking forward. Find the signpost pointing to "Former Residence of Religious Personnel" and go straight ahead. At the end, turn left to find the sightseeing car ticket booth. Buy your ticket here and you can board the mini train without queuing - super quick and convenient! 📮Location: No. 2 Orange Isle, Yuelu District, Changsha 🚗Transportation: Exit at Qinglian Station on Metro Line 2 🎫Admission: Free. Reserve 3 days in advance for "Yuelu Mountain" 👣Visit duration: About 2 hours for visiting the statue (round trip by mini train) ⚠️Tips: √During May Day holiday, those popular photo spots are impossible to access. The Wangjiang Pavilion has especially long queues. √Instead, using a telephoto lens or zooming in with your phone for portraits helps avoid crowds. √Orange Isle offers free luggage storage and free postcards with stamps. √The mini train costs 40 yuan round trip per adult, half price for children - worth it for the 3km journey. 👉Tired of following the crowd? Want to see something different? Come along with us! Looking forward to your follow!
