Orange Isle in Changsha: A Must-Visit Spot

After breakfast, head to Orange Isle, a must-visit attraction in Changsha (featuring the statue of Chairman Mao). You need to make a reservation on WeChat three days in advance. The available time slots are: Morning: 7-12, Afternoon: 12-17, Evening: 17-22. Take Line 2 to the Orange Isle subway station. Once you exit the subway, you will see the ticket office for the island shuttle. The round-trip fare is RMB 40. You need to show your reservation QR code at the counter to purchase a ticket with your Home Return Permit. After identity verification, you can buy the ticket on WeChat. If you choose to walk to the Mao Zedong statue, it will take about 50 minutes. 💡Tips: Remember to bring a sun hat as the sun can be quite strong. After getting off the shuttle, it's about a 3-minute walk to the statue. For photos, it's recommended to walk a bit closer to the statue to avoid crowds.
