[2025 Changsha ] Travel Guide for DongQu Kingdom (Updated Mar)

It's really a spot that is seriously underestimated by the locals of Changsha, much more fun than I imagined, and not far from the downtown area. It feels suitable for dating, taking a walk with kids, and it's the kind of place where people of all ages can have fun~ Not only can you interact with various small animals (there are quite a lot of animal species, and there are also small animals at night), but there is also an aquarium, various performances, check-in spots, and light shows.

I never expected Changsha to hide such a deeply concealed oxygen sanctuary. Just camping by the lake 🏕️ already refreshes the eyes. Metasequoia, lotus flowers, bamboo pavilions, reflections in the lake, every corner exceeds expectations. Follow my guide and let's set off ✈️ - 🔱 Personal warm reminder: ✔️ Right at the entrance is a large wooden bridge. Turn right and pass a small wooden bridge to reach the fantastic lakeside camping spot! Lotus flowers and pavilions are also here. ✔️ Found a very spiritual big tree 🌳 ✔️ You can bring picnic mats, tents, canopies (but no fire allowed), tables, chairs, and camping cars. ✔️ Bring some small toys 🧸 ✔️ If you have time, you can go left to explore (the previous tulip sea was on the left side of the entrance, hidden deep inside, haha). ✔️ Bring more food! You can buy some snacks from the supermarket. We even packed some of Xu Ji's latest seafood tea snacks 🦞! A very rich afternoon tea feast 😊 - Xu Ji's signature shrimp dumplings are absolutely amazing! They use three whole large shrimps 🍤, incredibly firm and bouncy. Original fresh scallop and beef shumai! It contains fresh seafood scallops! The light blue outer skin color echoes the sea~ The kids gobbled up two in a row! When packing at the store, we also saw the making of fresh shrimp crispy red rice rolls! The powder turning red is so magical! Freshly handmade, safe for babies 👶 to eat too~ - Location: 'Garden Ecological Park' Ticket: 14r per person (children under 1.4m free) - Nearby attractions: ✅ Inside, there is Fun Kingdom and Water Cube (tickets for these two parks include entry to the Garden Ecological Park).
