| Break into a Jiangnan courtyard and enjoy a meal of Hunan cuisine that has been passed down for thousands of years. 🌳 This "Wei Xia Shan" hidden in the riverside of Changsha is really a treasure restaurant I discovered recently! When you step in here, it’s as if you’ve traveled back to an ancient Jiangnan courtyard. Every step you take brings a new scene, full of poetry. 📍 Location: It is located on Tongpenhu Road, Yuelu District, Changsha City (you can find it by directly navigating to "Weixiashan Binjiang Store"). The surrounding environment is quiet. Turning into the small road from the bustling city, you will soon see this quiet place in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Parking is also very convenient. There are plenty of parking spaces at the door, so you don't have to worry about parking problems. 🏞 Environment: The restaurant was designed by the Song family garden, with blue bricks and black tiles, gurgling water, and lush green plants. Every detail reveals simplicity and elegance. There is also a koi pond in the courtyard. Watching the fish swimming freely can relax your mood. Whether you dine indoors or outdoors, you can enjoy the tranquility and beauty. The corridor and the door are beautiful from many angles, and even more beautiful when the sun is shining. I suggest you wear Chinese clothes to take pictures, which will maximize the atmosphere! 🍱 Recommended dishes: • Peking duck: a must! We use authentic high-quality stuffed duck, which goes through multiple processes and is freshly baked and sliced. When it is served on the table, it has a rosy color and makes people salivate just by looking at it. The duck skin is roasted to be crispy and fragrant, and the duck meat is tender and juicy. It is served with pancakes, chopped green onions, cucumber and sweet noodle sauce. It is full of rich layers and a full sense of happiness in one bite. • Braised Spare Ribs with Chili: The organic chili has a pure flavor without being astringent. The first note is slightly spicy with a hint of sweetness, and the more you eat, the spicier it gets. The ribs are firm, lean but not dry. The meat and bones separate easily with a light bite. Every bite is super flavorful and goes great with rice. • Yunnan Wild Mushroom Hot Pot: It contains five kinds of mushrooms: chanterelles, chicken mushrooms, porcini, cordyceps flowers and matsutake mushrooms, and the ingredients are fresh and abundant. The soup cooked in the pot is especially delicious. After taking a sip of the soup, I feel like my whole body is healed. It’s so delicious that it makes your eyebrows fall off! 💴 Price per person: The average per capita consumption is around 100-300 yuan (the specific price will fluctuate depending on the choice of dishes). They also have group purchase packages that are more cost-effective. You can check them out online in advance. 💁‍♀️ Services: The waiters are very enthusiastic and thoughtful. From the moment you enter the door, you can feel the attentive service. They will help add water and change bone plates in time, and any needs can be responded to quickly. The dining experience is great! This Weixiashan Riverside restaurant is really suitable for a gathering with friends, a family dinner or a business banquet. Whether it is the environment, the food or the service, there is nothing wrong with it. Highly recommended to tourists or locals in Changsha, you must come here to experience it!

The azalea is the city flower of Changsha, and now, the azaleas on Duyuan Road are in full bloom as promised! The air is filled with a faint floral fragrance, the wind and sunlight are warm, and spring is just so lovely 🥰! The blooming season of Duyuan Road is a love letter written by the city to spring. Here, every azalea is not just a scenery, but also a blend of life and poetry. While spring is still young, come and have a date with the azaleas~ Changsha Duyuan Road Address: Duyuan Road, Yuelu District, Changsha City The April wind sweeps across the Xiangjiang River, turning Duyuan Road into a flowing palette. The cascading azaleas, planted in terraces along both sides of the road, create a breathtaking spectacle of color. In the early morning light, the petals dance gently in the breeze, resembling a waterfall of flowers, almost too beautiful to be true. Red azaleas blaze like flames, burning intensely as if to ignite the entire street; pink azaleas, like the blush on a maiden's cheek, softly blend among the green leaves. Occasionally, a few petals drift down, becoming a gentle poem in the eyes of passersby. The azaleas here are not as majestic and unrestrained as those in the wild, but they exude a touch of urban charm amidst the ordinary hustle and bustle of life. The branches are within reach, and the traffic and flower shadows intertwine in the twilight, like a silent dialogue—the city's noise is quietly filtered by the falling petals, leaving only the resonance of heartbeats and blooming flowers. Joggers stop to take photos 📸, busy office workers pick up fallen petals and tuck them into their notebooks, and even the windows of cafes borrow the flower shadows as their artwork. Beside the flowers, strolling elders stand shoulder to shoulder with young people holding cameras, time gently folds at this moment—blending the everyday with the artistic, creating a flowing scroll of city life. Flowers become messengers of the city. Every blooming season, Changsha puts on a pink coat, transforming into a spring landmark, attracting countless visitors. Bookstores organize azalea-themed illustration exhibitions, and cafes incorporate flowers into their cuisine. A single azalea connects the warmth and memories of the city, giving a reason to pause in the midst of a busy daily life. Tips for visiting: Best viewing spots: Middle section of Duyuan Road, both sides of the back gate of Xianglu Mountain Villa, section from West Second Ring Road to Jinxing Road Best time to visit: 7:00 - 8:00 am or 4:00 - 5:00 pm, the soft light will add a golden edge to the petals, avoid the strong midday light for better photos! Outfit recommendations: Plain long skirts or light-colored shirts, fresh and natural, create a dreamy contrast with the azaleas; Hanfu lovers can choose elegant Qixiong Ruqun, instantly transported back in time when standing by the flowers! 🤳Camera positions: Low-angle shots with the sky as the background make the flowers more three-dimensional; or use road signs and traffic to create a touching narrative of "people, city, flowers." Friendly reminder: Please do not enter the roadway when taking photos, pay attention to safety! Appreciate the flowers responsibly~ The romance of Duyuan Road is a tacit collaboration between the city and nature. Flowers on the branches, spring on the road, the romance of life is hidden in this azalea-filled street~ Photo from the official account: Wenlv Changsha
