Changsha Citywalk, in this old street, one can find the mottled old times

🔥✨ Having lived in a city for a long time, sometimes when asked by friends from other places 'What else is there to do in Changsha besides Wuyi Square?', I find myself at a loss for words. So, I decided to delve into the old streets and alleys of Changsha to explore more of this beautiful city. 🚇✨ Getting off at Houjiatang station of the subway, crossing Tianjian Road, and plunging into Yunan Street, this area is mostly old buildings from the 70s and 80s of the last century. There aren't too many overly delicate buildings or historical relics, but this residential area is still full of the breath of life, with each small street and alley having its own local flavor. 🌆✨ In the evening, walking into the winding paths, you may occasionally see vendors pushing carts, as well as white-collar elites talking on their phones. This is perhaps the diverse charm of this old district, just like the popular Changsha itself, which has both the young and fashionable Jiefang West and Wuyi Square, as well as the old city areas like Yunan Street that are full of the taste of life. 🌆✨ As night falls, the streets become more and more lively, and soon you might smell the fragrance of meals from every household. Is your family having braised pork or stir-fried pork with chili today? Is the aunt next door stewing a pot of spare rib soup? Without entering the homes, you can smell the 'scent of home' under the shade of the trees on the path. 🌈✨ The alleys are always filled with the joy of childhood and the warmth of home. Whether it's a teenager dribbling a basketball across the street or a father playing with his child, it always brings back memories of one's own happy times. This is perhaps the magic of the old streets filled with the breath of life, always having a way to pull one's thoughts back to the past. 🌃✨ Continuing along Yunan Street, you will reach Dongguashan, which is known as Changsha's late-night snack street. The phrase 'the later the night, the more exciting' sums up the state of this place. Whether it's the street stalls or gourmet shops, there's always one that can satisfy your late-night cravings.
