2025 Changsha County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

This small, hidden gem of a Taoist temple in Changsha turns into a fairy-tale world during the ginkgo season "The heart is like a white cloud, always at ease, the mind is like flowing water, going east and west" 💚📍Nan Dynasty Ancient Temple—Taogong Temple 🎫Ticket: 5 yuan (purchase tickets at the entrance) ⌚️Open: 9:00-17:00 🚌Transportation: Take bus 103 to Taogong Temple Station (the transportation is not very convenient, it's relatively close from my place in Wanjiali) 🚇Subway: Line 6 to Shaoguang Station Exit 2, then take a taxi to Taogong Temple, about 2.2 kilometers Taogong Temple is one of the three ancient temples in Changsha, belonging to Taoist culture, known as "the remaining temple of the Six Dynasties, the famous mountain for a thousand years". Taogong Temple is not very large, consisting of the mountain gate, opera tower, stone steps, main hall, and side hall. The eaves, wall tops, and ridges display the craftsmanship of ancient artisans. I was left speechless by these magnificent buildings, exquisite carvings, and the colorful wall art!!! The aesthetics of our ancestors are amazing! If you take a set of Hanfu photos here, it will definitely be amazing!!! Outside the temple is the Liuyang River, where many fishing enthusiasts gather. If you have time and interest, you can also take a walk in Langli Ancient Town This area has not been commercialized yet It's a very niche place Suitable for relaxation～ I am a small package who loves to travel and share✌️

Changsha has low-difficulty, niche mountains with ancient temples and lakes, it's so beautiful! ||| 🤟🤟 Free admission, few tourists, beautiful scenery! 🌸🌸Recently, I discovered a super nice place to play around the outskirts of Changsha. It's like a reachable paradise! 🎁🎁This is the Purple Bamboo Mountain located in Gaoqiao. Large and extremely rare purple bamboo grows on the mountain, and these tall bamboo trees continue to grow, forming a huge bamboo forest that is really great for taking photos. 👀👀Whether it's a misty rainy day or a sunny day, you can take very artistic photos. 🌿🌿Apart from the bamboo forest, there are also many other plants on the mountain, such as the bright red azaleas, plump raspberries, various unknown wild flowers and grasses, 🌼🌼and large areas of forests. These plants bring endless fresh oxygen, making people feel very comfortable. 🎄🎄Among the bamboo forest, there is an ancient temple called Kaiyuan Temple built in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The temple covers an area of more than 140 acres and is the largest temple in Changsha County. The whole temple is surrounded by green mountains and rivers, and the buildings inside the temple are magnificent and grand, 👀👀which is very impressive whether viewed from afar or up close. Because of its long history, Kaiyuan Temple has a far-reaching reputation and the incense is still flourishing. When passing by, it is worth going in and lighting a stick of incense. 🎈🎈There is also an ancient well on the mountain called Longpo Ancient Well. The well water is clear and transparent, with green plants and white clouds reflected in it, creating a beautiful scenery.👍🏻👍🏻The water is very clean and can be drunk directly. The water quality is sweet and delicious. It feels great to take a sip when tired from walking. 🚗Address: Kaiyuan Temple, Zizhushan, Gaoqiao Town, Changsha County. 💰Ticket: Free

Food Culture|"Changsha" tastes special foods at the snack street to Changsha. The first thing is to eat specialty snacks. The South Gate where I live is a very famous snack street in Changsha. Changsha stinky tofu is definitely one of the best snacks in Changsha. Well-known brands include: four stinky tofu, fire palace stinky tofu, Luojia stinky, among them black classic, is Chairman Mao's favorite. So the stalls in the night market have the highest proportion of stinky tofu. Its amazing to smell this smell and eat something fragrant. This taste also adds a unique temperament to this gastronomic capital. In addition to stinky tofu, it is also popular with "sugar oil". This authentic Changsha traditional snack, on the hall, under the road stalls, is very popular with locals. Hunan cuisine is not only spicy, but also spicy. As a tourist, we naturally have to taste it. Soft to the heart, sweet to the bone marrow. Changsha crayfish is also very well known. Recently, I have also seen news reports that Changsha eats more than 100,000 tons of crayfish every year and is among the best in many cities across the country. After listening to Changsha people, they only felt that they were too conservative. It is not too much to add a zero. Xiangwei barbecue is also a popular snack in the streets and lanes, which can reflect the hot enthusiasm of Hunan people. Drinking a few bottles of cold beer in the summer, just a few skewers, is definitely a very rare enjoyment.

Hezuishang, a rural healing river camping spot only 0.5 hours away from Changsha, is a hidden treasure! It not only has a grassland-like openness, but also Altai-style oil painting scenery, which is especially suitable for short trips to escape the city. Here is a detailed guide for you: --- 🌟 Destination Highlights - Free and niche: Few people and beautiful scenery, not commercialized, retaining the original rural style - Grassland + River: Green meadows in spring, wild flowers in summer, and reeds swaying in autumn and winter - Animal interaction: You can often encounter grazing cattle in the evening, full of pastoral feeling - Stunning sunset: The river reflects the sunset, and the orange sea effect is comparable to the seaside --- 📍 Precise Navigation - Self-driving positioning: Search for "Hezuishang" on Gaode/Baidu Maps (near Chunhua Town, Changsha County) - Route reference: Starting from Changsha city, take Kaiyuan Road or Changyong Expressway, which can be reached in 30 minutes. There is a free parking space at the end - Alternative positioning: If you can't find it, you can navigate to "Chunhua Aqueduct" and then drive 1 km along the river bank --- 🎒 Must-have list for travel - Sun protection equipment: Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen (no shelter by the river) - Food and drink: Bring enough drinking water and snacks (recommended picnic basket + cold drinks) - Props: Folding chairs, woven bags, light-colored picnic mats (great for taking photos) - Environmental protection supplies: Garbage bags, portable ashtrays (no trash cans, need to bring your own) --- 📸 Advanced Photography Techniques 1. Time selection - Golden hours: 16:00-18:30 (1.5 hours of soft light before sunset) - Can also be taken on cloudy days: Low saturation filter + grassland composition, instantly transformed into Nordic style 2. Dress Suggestions - Light colors: White long dress, beige knit sweater - Style: French straw hat/cowboy boots + floral dress (super storytelling with cattle) 3. Composition points - Lonely tree by the river: Stand under the tree and take a silhouette - Distant view of the aqueduct: Chunhua Aqueduct as the background, the collision of industry and nature --- ⛺️ Camping Tips - Can stay overnight: But there are no toilets nearby, so it is not recommended to stay overnight - Safety tips: - Avoid the rainy season (the river beach may flood) - Mosquito repellent spray is essential (many mosquitoes by the water) - No trace principle: Take away 120% of the garbage (you can pick up the garbage left by predecessors) --- 🚗 Surrounding Serials - Check in along the way: 1. Chunhua Aqueduct (5 minutes by car): Changsha "Little Rome", retro water conservancy building 2. Jinding Mountain Ancient Town (15 minutes): Undeveloped old streets of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, suitable for street photography --- ❓ Common problem Q: Can I bring pets? A: Yes! But you need to keep them on a leash to prevent disturbing the cattle Q: What are the road conditions like? A: The last 1 km is a village road, which can be reached by cars, but be careful on rainy days --- This grassland river is like Changsha's "Little Hulunbuir", especially suitable for daze, relaxation, and healing anxiety. If you encounter a herd of cattle returning to graze, don't forget to use a telephoto lens to capture the moment they step through the grass waves~ 🌾

🚅 Came to Changsha for a business trip and stayed a few extra days for fun. This hotel made my trip to Changsha incredibly enjoyable✨ The location is excellent, right at the subway entrance, so you can reach it as soon as you exit the station. It's easy to get to popular attractions without any hassle. 🏨 The hotel amenities are very thoughtful. Start your day with a hearty breakfast at the buffet; after a tiring day, relax on the garden terrace and breathe in the fresh air; for laundry, the self-service laundry room has you covered. 🛏️ The rooms are top-notch! Not only are they decorated with a Chinese aesthetic, but they also provide free snacks and bottled water. Even disposable toilet seat covers and slippers are well-prepared, making it very 'lazy-friendly.' 💁‍♀️ The service is impeccable! When I checked in, the front desk enthusiastically upgraded my room for free. After a busy evening, I could enjoy freshly made health desserts back at the hotel, which were both warming and delicious. ✌️ Budget travelers, go for it‼️ The value for money is unbeatable, and you won't be disappointed👍
