Summer is coming and Changsha has a lot of exciting places you can visit so here are a few recommendations that I visited on my trip. All of these are free except for Orange Island which was like 20rmb or so: 1. Meixi Lake Chinese Knot Bridge (there is no other attraction close by so it’s kinda out of the way but worth it for great photos) 2. Huangxing Square 3. Wuyi Square 4. Taiping Street (shopping for souvenirs - make sure to price shop first because I bought some keychains for 3 times the price another shop had and they were the exact same thing😢) 5. Orange Island (foreigners need to first go to the visitors center to get a slip of paper which you can then use to get a ticket for the in park transport. It’s a large park so be prepared to do some walking) 6. Chaozong Street (lots of Changsha signs) #mustvisit #changsha #adventure #localguides #summervacation #historicallandmarks

There are so many details that really moved me Detail 1: Super cost-effective The hotel is located in Lehe City Yingshang International in the May Day business district. It is only one subway stop away from Orange Island. It takes 15 minutes to take a taxi to the Provincial Museum, Pozi Street and Taiping Old Street. It is not too convenient to travel. We are The three-bed room for a family of 5 traveling for more than 400 yuan is not too fragrant! Detail 2: The hygiene is super good. There is a fragrant smell as soon as you enter the hotel room. I am really satisfied. The most important thing is that the toiletries are all disposable. , even the face towels for washing your face and the bath towels for bathing are all disposable, which is not very satisfactory for a mysophobic patient like me. Moreover, the decoration of the room is super new. I learned from the front desk boss that the rooms are designed by professional designers. The design fee alone cost RMB 30,000 to RMB 40,000, and the bed sheets in the room are changed for each guest. I am really satisfied with it. Detail 3: The service is very good! We arrived at the hotel at three in the afternoon. The boss added us on WeChat in advance at around 8 in the morning and sent us a detailed check-in guide and their own homemade travel guide. The detailed check-in guide really made me a road addict. Feel safe! The easy-to-follow travel guide also made my trip to Changsha much more convenient. What moved me the most was that if I asked the boss online about what to eat, drink and have fun in Changsha, he would tell you in detail which places are fun and inexpensive. The place rips off customers, no matter how late it is, they can respond promptly and solve the problem, which makes them feel safe and happy. Detail 4: Extra large floor-to-ceiling windows The space in the room is super transparent and more comfortable than ordinary star hotels. The most important thing is that the windows in the room are all large floor-to-ceiling windows. The night view is really beautiful at night! Detail 5: Perfect viewing experience The projector in the hotel is actually a nut type. I really think the boss has very good taste. When the windows are closed at night, it really feels like being in a movie theater, and the room is equipped with a 100-inch giant screen. It’s really So comfortable Detail 6: Complete family facilities The room is equipped with a washing machine, refrigerator, and a rack for drying clothes. It really makes me feel like I bought my own house in Changsha hahahaha Detail 7: The check-in and check-out process is very simple After we told the boss the specific arrival time, the boss helped us turn on the air conditioner in the room in advance. As soon as we entered the room, it felt icy and cold. Moreover, the boss was afraid that it would be difficult for us to run away because we were traveling with children, so the boss called aunt. We were checked in at the door of the room. We were really satisfied. They even extended the room for an extra hour for free when we checked out. I have stayed in so many hotels, and this hotel is really the most satisfying hotel I have ever stayed in. The service is really considerate. I wish the boss a prosperous business. I will still choose this hotel next time I have the opportunity to come to Changsha!

I have been to Taiping Old Street before I really feel the enthusiasm of Changsha cuisine. I know that Wenhe You Stinky Bean House and Big Sausage are basically able to brush the streets. The tea-colored Yuelan Latte and the sound of Oolong Sure enough, it is ecstasy, roast pig brain flower can be justified on the street! So good, you have to come again.
