It's not bad, but the weather in Yueyang is too hot and Yueyang Tower is only open until 18:30 in the evening, so I feel it's okay. It's not that amazing. The building is very small. If it's free, you can go and see it. If you take a full ticket, the value for money is average. It should be lit at night and open until 22:00.
Yueyang Tower Scenic Area has a profound cultural heritage. As one of the three famous towers in Jiangnan, it is full of historical charm. The tower is rich in cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, the construction technology is exquisite, and the pure wooden structure is amazing. Climbing the tower, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake, where the water and the sky are one color, which is very magnificent. However, the traffic management around the scenic area needs to be strengthened, the space inside the tower is small, and it is crowded during holidays. Overall, it is a scenic spot worth visiting, which allows people to feel the charm of thousands of years of history and culture.

【长沙世界之窗解构报告：时空折叠机里的文明游乐场】 作为中南地区首座文化主题乐园，长沙世界之窗 绝非简单的微缩景观合集，而是用高浓度快乐因子与文明切片重构的魔幻试验场。这里既适合亲子撒欢，也能让成年人找回失落的童心，值得作为长沙游的欢乐补给站。其核心竞争力在于将世界文明符号与潮玩基因进行量子纠缠，打造出独属湖湘的“文化过山车”。三大颠覆性玩法 1. 文明快闪剧场 108处微缩景观不是静态模型，而是被注入灵魂的时空胶囊：埃及区狮身人面像前上演法老激光秀，比萨斜塔下飘来意大利歌剧咏叹调，新天鹅城堡化身万圣节丧尸突围战场。最绝的是湘江文化区——用吊脚楼茶馆衔接德国新天鹅堡，在臭豆腐摊与啤酒节的混搭中完成文化解构。2. 硬核游乐方程式 悬挂过山车“冲天大摆锤”以120°仰角将尖叫甩进云霄，5D星空影院的《火星远征》用喷气座椅模拟陨石撞击，水上狂欢乐园夏季变身泼水电音节现场。2023年新升级的“机械迷城”更是将蒸汽朋克美学融入跳楼机，让肾上腺素飙升充满赛博仪式感。3. 节庆元宇宙 这里全年都是平行宇宙入口：春节变身大唐不夜城，NPC提着鱼灯与你对飞花令；万圣节整座乐园堕入克苏鲁世界，丧尸在金字塔群游荡；圣诞节则让埃菲尔铁塔披上极光，驯鹿雪橇从印度泰姬陵前掠过。每个节庆都是打破物理规则的造梦实验。体验优化公式 时空折叠动线：早晨直冲金字塔区拍无人写真，午后转战水上乐园降温，黄昏乘摩天轮捕获“岳麓山落日熔金”帧率 感官混搭术：在印度区抛饼工坊DIY咖喱味糖油粑粑，于牛仔小镇射击馆赢取臭豆腐兑换券 隐藏副本：寻找散布园区的12处AR文明图腾，扫码召唤古埃及猫神或北欧雷神合影 当夜幕降临，文明奇迹在3D mapping中集体复：泰姬陵流淌星河，斗兽场化作DJ舞台，而每周六的焰火大秀更将狂欢推向顶点——这里没有沉重的历史包袱，只有文明符号在过山车轨道上碰撞出的快乐火花。与其说是主题公园，不如说是人类把地球装进游乐场的野心实验：在尖叫与欢笑的催化下，金字塔与摩天轮达成了跨时空和解。

As one of the four major academies in China, Yuelu College has a history of more than 1,000 years, and the architecture is antique, perfectly integrated with natural landscapes, red walls and black tiles, towering ancient trees, one step at a time, the scenery is beautiful. The academy has a deep cultural heritage, rich exhibitions, vivid explanations, and historical allusions such as "Zhu Zhanghui Talk", which can make you immersive in the charm of Huxiang culture. The ticket price is reasonable, students can also enjoy discounts, and the price is good.
Thousands of years of college, inherited so far, once again to visit, can still feel the rigorousness of ancient people's schooling, study and study hard, compared with the present, what reason is not to cherish such a beautiful environment, endless learning, tireless, diligent thinking, benefit a lot

The temperature is a constant 16 degrees Celsius year-round, a true summer blessing. Entering the area relieved all summer discomforts. The boat trip across, with water depths ranging from 8 to 16 meters, was truly breathtaking. There were also upper and lower river channels, with cavernous interlayers in between—a first for me. There were also various stalagmites, stalactites, and other masterpieces of karst landforms.

We take our kids hiking every summer, and this was by far the easiest hike we've ever taken. The trail is very flat and mostly accessible, perfect for strollers and wheelchairs. The mountain is incredibly cool, which is wonderful in the summer.
It was raining when we arrived, but since we were passing through on our way back, we decided to head straight for it. Even the rain couldn't dampen the allure of the peaks. We arrived late, at 2:45 PM, and walked and admired the scenery non-stop, taking three elevators and leaving at 6 AM.

Changsha Huayi Brothers Film Town has its own unique narrative style among many cultural and tourism towns across the country. This is not only a real-life film location, but also a place of life aesthetics that deeply integrates "film IP" and "international culture". Among them, the "Italian Town Block" inspired by the movie "Fated" is particularly eye-catching. The film itself tells a love story across China and Italy, and in the construction of the town, Changsha has truly "built" this screen love into a real space that can be visited, lived in, and experienced.
When people come here, they can encounter street musicians on the steps of the "Assisi"-style mountain city, or sit on a gondola in the "Venice"-like water lanes and listen to the boatman's low singing; they can walk into a century-old Italian leather goods store and smell the blend of leather and time, or drink a cup of authentic Espresso in a traditional Italian coffee shop and chat with strangers about poetry and the distance.
So happy to visit there. I visited during low season and was quiet. Feels like visiting Venice.

Changsha Underwater World is located at No. 501, Sanyi Avenue, Kaifu District, Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is a national 4A-level tourist attraction and a large marine science education museum in Hunan.
Changsha Underwater World covers a total area of 100 acres, integrating viewing and leisure. The tour area is divided into five functional areas: Oceanarium, Polar Museum, Science and Education Museum, Children's Park, and Water Park. There are more than a thousand species and tens of thousands of precious marine creatures and freshwater fish from all over the world in the museum, as well as regular performances of seals and divers feeding fish.
In the park, you can enjoy the beautiful and romantic performance of human-shark dance, mermaid performance, Russian underwater ballet performance, shocking and fun white whale spitting circles, dolphin jumping, walrus blowing piano, sea lion concert and more than ten sets of marine characteristic performances.
It was very hot on the way there, so I took the bus. When I got there, I had a meal. It was a little expensive, so it was better to eat before going in. It was comfortable inside. The crowds were okay, and the dolphin show was worth seeing. There was nothing special about the rest. Overall it was okay.

I bought a night show ticket and went in at 5pm. There were many empty parking spaces in the parking lot and not many people in the venue. Some projects were not open, and some projects (such as go-karts) required additional fees. There was no need to queue for roller coasters, Nuwa patching the sky, bumper cars, etc. There was a waterwheel parade at 6pm, and a water splashing festival performance at 8pm in the summer, which was very good.
Overall it started off well. If you bring your kids, you can play all day. There are many free children's rides. In addition, there are many interpretations of Chinese myths. For example, Cowherd and Weaver Girl is a 4D movie where you can watch it while lying down. Take Me Fly is a Tamron 3D movie. I think there are still many types, and some clever ideas have been put into it. Just pay special attention to the walking process, because it is really tiring. Many performances overlap. You have to make choices, and walking back and forth is really tiring. It is also very annoying to have to wait when there are too many people.

In addition to the performance, it is also a parent-child playground. You can come two hours in advance to play. The memorial staff are very dedicated and good, so it doesn't make people feel fake. The performance is naturally good, and the children said it was very fun
I took my kids out to play during the May Day holiday. It was fun and interesting. There were many things to play with the kids and many things to play with the older kids. We had a lot of fun and will come again in the future.

For those seeking a less crowded and more relaxed zoo experience in China, the Changsha Ecological Zoo is an excellent choice. Its large, open grounds provide a comfortable environment for a day of family fun and animal encounters.One of the standout features is the safari bus, which offers a fantastic way to see many of the animals in a spacious, naturalistic setting. It’s a highlight that allows you to cover a lot of ground comfortably. We were also delighted to see two giant pandas, which were a definite treat.The zoo offers more than just viewing; the interactive experiences are highly engaging. We attended a memorable bird show where parrots danced, and one clever bird even performed simple math problems, amazing both children and adults. There are also several feeding events throughout the day. My daughter had a wonderful time feeding carrots to a llama, and we saw other opportunities to feed animals like elephants, though we didn't partake in that one. These interactive moments make the visit particularly special for kids.For visitors who might find the large park challenging to walk, the zoo thoughtfully offers small electric carts for rent. This is a great option for families with young children or elderly members, ensuring everyone can enjoy the park without getting too tired.Overall, the Changsha Ecological Zoo provides a wonderful, spacious, and interactive day out, free from the overwhelming crowds of zoos in other major cities.
1. Parent-child friendly
It is perfect to bring your kids here! The park is very user-friendly, with a special children's play area and popular science explanations. The children not only saw many cute animals such as tigers and elephants, but also fed giraffes and touched lambs in the interactive area, which made them very excited. There are abundant dining options in the park, and the prices are reasonable. The staff are enthusiastic and patiently answer the children's various "hundred thousand whys". It is definitely a treasure trove for parent-child travel!
2. Immersive experience
This is the first time I have seen such a "heartfelt" zoo! The exhibition area is designed very carefully to simulate the original environment of the animals. Rhinos roll in the mud and monkeys jump between vines, which is particularly immersive. There is also a nocturnal animal pavilion, with dim lights and realistic sound effects, as if you are really in the jungle. The park's guide APP can locate the animal's position in real time, and you can also listen to professional explanations, which is a full experience!
3. Cost-effective and facilities
The ticket price is very affordable. I didn't expect the park to be so large and full of animals! There are panda pavilions, aquariums, and bird areas. In the wild animal area, you can take a sightseeing bus to observe lions and brown bears up close. There are plenty of charging stations and rest benches in the park, the toilets are clean and odorless, and even the mother and baby room is fully equipped. You won't feel tired after a whole day of sightseeing. Highly recommended!
