Spend 3 days relaxing at this hotel and unlock Changsha's ultra-relaxing lifestyle!

Friends! Staying at the right hotel can truly double your travel experience! This time I checked in at the Hotel Indigo Changsha Meixi Lake, and I was completely won over! Not only is the hotel itself full of surprises, but the surrounding area also hides many treasure spots. During my 3-day, 2-night in-depth experience, from artistic immersion to food celebrations, from nature walks to cultural exploration, every moment was filled with surprises. Quickly save this super detailed guide! In the morning, sunlight gently streams through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows into the room. Opening your eyes to the sparkling waves of Meixi Lake and the misty Yuelu Mountain in the distance creates a scene like a Chinese ink painting. Put on the comfortable bathrobe thoughtfully prepared by the hotel, sit by the bay window, brew a complimentary in-room tea, enjoy the fragrance as it fills the air, admire the beautiful view of Meixi Lake outside, and start a leisurely day. If you want an energetic start, don't miss the scenic gym on the 22nd floor. Equipped with complete fitness equipment, you can take in the panoramic view of Meixi Lake and the city skyline while running, making exercise especially enjoyable. After working out, jump into the adjacent transparent infinity pool, with the sparkling lake water below your feet, as if floating in the air. This unique experience makes every casual photo a social media sensation. Dining at the hotel's "Lu Yan" restaurant is a feast of both food and culture. During breakfast, the variety of delicacies is eye-catching. The freshly made Changsha rice noodles are a must-try, with spicy broth paired with chewy noodles, plus rich toppings like spicy beef and pickled beans - one bite instantly awakens your taste buds. The sugar oil rice cakes are soft, sweet, and stretchy; the purple perilla peach ginger is sweet and sour, perfect for cleansing the palate. During lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers Hunan cuisine that blends tradition with innovation, making it irresistible. In the afternoon, become a cultural experience officer. The lobby's "Sky Academy" perfectly replicates Yuelu Academy, with a two-story high movable type printing wall that's stunning. Grab an ancient book for an immersive reading experience. If you catch a cultural heritage experience day, you can learn Xiang embroidery, stitching the scenery of Meixi Lake; or make rubbings of Yuelu Mountain poems, taking home a thousand years of cultural heritage. City Walk + Attractions, Play Until You Don't Want to Leave Day 1: Art and Cultural Journey Walk 10 minutes to the Meixi Lake International Culture & Arts Centre, where Zaha Hadid's petal-shaped architecture looks like a magazine cover in every photo. If you catch a concert or play, enjoy the audio-visual feast; even without a performance, the glass curtain wall of the adjacent Xie Zilong Photography Museum provides a natural reflective filter, and the oil paintings at the Li Zijian Art Museum are so detailed you can't look away. When hungry, head straight to Meixi Xin Tiandi, where you'll find everything from authentic Hunan cuisine to popular Western restaurants - your stomach will be completely satisfied! Day 2: Classic Landmark Tour Take a 20-minute taxi to Orange Isle, take photos with the young Chairman Mao sculpture, then rent a tandem bicycle to ride around the island. When tired, relax at the beach park and enjoy the river view. In the afternoon, head to Taiping Street, with its bluestone roads and old buildings full of charm. Browse creative shops, have a cup of HEYTEA, then catch the sunset at Du Fu River Pavilion, where orange-red twilight covers the river surface, maximizing the romance! Day 3: Dual Experience of Nature and Culture After breakfast, take a 15-minute drive to Yuelu Mountain. Taking the cable car from the south gate offers a stunning panoramic view of the city. Pray for blessings at the Yunlu Palace at the top, and visit Aiwan Pavilion on your way down - in autumn, the red maple leaves make it as beautiful as an oil painting! Tour the campus of Hunan University at the foot of the mountain, and be sure to sweep through the food stalls on Dengao Road - crispy outside and tender inside stinky tofu, sweet sugar oil cakes that melt your heart, and you can even pack some as souvenirs. In the evening, return to the hotel and order a special cocktail "Meixi Sunset" at the rooftop bar on the 22nd floor. Sit on the outdoor sofa and enjoy the night view of Meixi Lake. As the lights come on, the lake reflects the colorful lights, soft music plays in the background, and the day's fatigue instantly vanishes. If you happen to be there on Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday, don't miss the Meixi Lake musical fountain show. Accompanied by dynamic music, the fountain creates various shapes under the lights, which is spectacular and provides a perfect ending to your Changsha trip.
