The off-season is perfect for traveling. I went to Changsha with my friends for a three-day, two-night weekend trip (+ Monday). The accommodation was super affordable!!! We stayed at the Gloria Plaza Hotel. It was clean, the rooms were spacious, and we loved it!!! PS: Wuyi Square and Wangfujing were under construction, and it was super, super dusty.😓! They're probably getting ready for the next peak tourist season. Next time I travel during the off-season, I'll check if there's any construction going on.~~ ✅Places I visited: 1. Hunan Museum (reservation required): Lady Xin Zhui was astonishing. It's amazing how well-preserved she is after thousands of years! 2. Du Fu Jiang Ge (no reservation required): You can walk to these three places one after another: Wuyi Square - Wenheyou - Du Fu Jiang Ge. I recommend seeing Du Fu Jiang Ge at night when it's lit up (it's just a regular attraction). 3. Hunan University (no reservation required): You can wander around, and there's lots of food nearby. 4. Yuelu Academy (ticket purchase required): The ticket is CNY 40. It's worth a visit +1. 5. Yuelu Mountain (reservation required): It's a 5-min walk from the south gate to the Aiwan Pavilion. You can see it first and then take the sightseeing bus because it's a bit far, and walking is tiring (CNY 20 one-way, CNY 30 round-trip✅). There's not much to see at the top, just the Changsha cityscape. Then, take the return bus to the slide (CNY 35/person). It's quite fun, so give it a try. 3, 4, and 5 can be seen together. 6. Orange Isle (reservation required): I recommend going on a working day. It's too crowded on weekends! I don't think you need to take the sightseeing bus on Orange Isle (CNY 40 round-trip). You can walk to the statue and enjoy the scenery and take photos along the way. With some stops, it doesn't feel too far. I've basically checked off all the famous attractions! Next up is eating, eating, eating😋 1. First place has to go to Chayan Yuese. Two cups a day, with the Orchid Latte being my top pick! 2. Black Classic Stinky Tofu: Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, filled with soup that bursts in your mouth. Delicious! (Sadly, the first one I bought was from a small stall, and it was a miss. It was over-fried and bitter, very unpleasant.) 3. Hunan cuisine: I went to Xiang Zai Guang Nao Ke Home-style Dishes. The food was good, but you have to go early. I recommend the sour radish tripe and the prawns. Hunan cuisine is spicy, so you can order a dish of stir-fried baby cabbage. Waiting there after 10:30 is about right, but they don't start serving until 11:00. (For other Hunan dishes, just find a random restaurant if you don't want to queue. Hunan food is generally good, and I haven't had any bad experiences.) However! I recommend that friends with sensitive stomachs bring some stomach medicine. Hunan food is a bit spicy, and it can easily cause diarrhea if you have a sensitive stomach (like me💢).

✨ Highlights • Nightlife: Wuyi Square at 3 am is more exciting than during the day, Wenheyou takes you back to the 1980s, and you might meet a celebrity on Jiefang West Bar Street. • Spicy warning: Tea Yanyue Se with stinky tofu, Benluobo Liuyang Restaurant challenges you with Hunan spicy food, bring milk if you can't eat spicy food. • Trendy places: KAWS on the roof of the International Finance Center, Xie Zilong Photography Museum with a minimalist style, perfect for taking photos! 🌶️ Must-eat list ▫️ Dongguashan Sausage ▫️ Jinji Sugar Oil Tuotuo ▫️ Bus New Village Noodle Shop ▫️ Tianbao Brothers Spicy Crayfish Tips: Take the train at Orange Isle, the cable car at Yuelu Mountain stops at 4 pm!

# Mainland customs clearance #travel #Changsha #A good place to check in Transportation strategy: The most convenient way to come to Changsha is to take a Didi taxi. You can get to your destination in just a dozen or so times (of course, if the distance is not far). You can also choose the subway🚇 to travel. The city center is around Wuyi Square Station, Line 2 or 1 Lines are very convenient Local attractions: 1. Orange Island Head. This is a small island located in the Xiangjiang River. You can choose to take the subway to the Xiangjiang Middle Road station and walk from the cross-river bridge to the island. You can also go directly to Juzizhou Station to reach the island. The island has beautiful scenery of the Xiangjiang River, and there are also many unique parks and scenery that you can visit. If you really don’t want to, you can also choose the small train in Figure 9 to travel around the island. 2.Chaozong Street. After nightfall, you can walk out on Xiangjiang Middle Road and you'll be there in about ten minutes. This is an old community with old houses and new shops, and it is a favorite among young people. Because there are many specialty shops inside, such as hot pot 🥘, milk tea 🧋, Qing Bar 🍺🥂, etc. Most of the shops are decorated with Hong Kong-style neon lights, and there are leisure seats at the entrance. The old-style buildings give it a unique flavor. I personally like this attraction the most. hotel: This aspect comes down to personal preference. I live in an apartment next to Chaozong Street, called Yuexiang Qingshe Hotel. The interior environment of the room is very good. The window faces the Wanda Plaza building and the Xiangjiang River. The night view is very good👍🏻. The boss is also very nice. The only drawback is that when I went there, there was renovation work on the interior wall of the building. There was only one elevator available, which made it very painful for me to wait for the elevator while dragging my tired body. But it was very convenient to travel. , it takes about 40 minutes to take a taxi from Changsha South Railway Station (if there is no traffic jam). It is only a ten-minute walk from the hotel to Wuyi Square. There are many snacks and check-in shops along the way. If you want to be close to the city, you can choose to start at the subway stations around Xiangjiang River and Wuyi Square, because the night scenery and lively neighborhoods will make you feel happier than you have in the past three years. Catering and restaurants: I don’t have anything to recommend in this regard, because I don’t like waiting in line to eat, so I just eat at whichever restaurant has a table. However, Chef Youjiafei’s stir-fried pork 🧑‍🍳 is worth recommending. Their stir-fried pork is really fragrant but not greasy🤤The beef with soaked feet is also worth eating, it’s very good👍🏻 Cha Yan Yuese Milk Tea Shop is really worth queuing up🙈🙈 because it is really rich and milky tea, you can drink more without getting tired of it (but drink less for health reasons) If you really want to try it, you can first try it through the mini program on WeChat or Alipay It’s very convenient to place an order and pick it up on site😋😋

My first encounter with Changsha was under the neon lights of May Day Square. The subway was thronged with people, and the aroma of betel nuts mingled with the scent of milk tea on street corners. Evening had barely fallen, but the entire city was already ablaze. The pace here is fast, like the drumbeats of Jiefang West and the fashionable footsteps of Huangxing Pedestrian Street, but its heart is warm, harboring the memories of the old city and the restlessness and dreams of the new era. Walking along Orange Island, the gentle lapping of the Xiang River and the evening breeze blowing past the statue of young Mao Zedong are like whispers of time and the city. Take a nighttime Xiang River cruise, where the city lights are reflected on the water and the skyscrapers rise on both sides, giving you the illusion of being in the capital of the future. Returning to Taiping Street and Pozi Street, you're instantly transported back to the embrace of the ancient city: bluestone pavements, time-honored sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes, and stinky tofu made with butter... every bite is a taste of memory. If you were to pinpoint the soul of Changsha, it would surely be found in the food stalls with lines still lining up late at night, in the popular check-in spots where young people vote for their idols, in the bustling bustle of the Fire Palace, and in the quiet moments of tranquility found in the quiet scholarly atmosphere of Lushan Academy and Yuelu Mountain. — 📍Travel Tips (Integrated into this article) • Visit Orange Island before dusk and stroll along the Xiang River to the statue area for breathtaking sunset light and shadows. Weekend evenings also feature fireworks displays, making them a must-see for a romantic Changsha getaway. • Taiping Street and Pozi Street are renowned for their delicious cuisine. Don't miss the stinky tofu, flavored shrimp, chopped pepper fish head, and sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes, though avoid peak meal times. • Yuelu Mountain and Lushan Academy are at their quietest in the early morning, perfect for enjoying the scenery and exploring the history. • In the evening, explore Jiefang West to experience the vibrant and restless nightlife of Changsha. — 🎆 Changsha isn't the quietest city, but it's definitely the most relaxing. It's eternally young, always crowded, and always waiting for you to join in the fun. #ChangshaTravel #OrangeIsland #TaipingStreetFood #YueluMount #StinkyTofu #NightlifeCity #ChineseCity #TravelArt #YouthCity
