Changsha | A Fantastic Trip to Orange Isle and Hunan University

| A Fantastic Trip to Orange Isle and Hunan University. Changsha | A Fantastic Trip to Orange Isle and Hunan University✨ Guys, Changsha is so much fun! This time I went to Orange Isle and Hunan University, and it was an amazing experience. I must share some tips with you.😎 🌳 Orange Isle: This is the "First Isle of China", with beautiful scenery surrounded by water on all sides. You can see Yuelu Mountain to the west and Changsha City to the east. 🍃 You must take a photo with the Young Mao Zedong Statue on the island. Standing in front of the statue, you will be shocked by its grandeur, as if you can feel the heroic spirit of Chairman Mao pointing out the country.🤩 I also bought a round-trip ticket for the small train.🚂 The park is really big, and it would be tiring to walk. The small train can take you directly to the statue, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Xiangjiang River along the way. It is so pleasant to feel the river breeze. Remember to make a reservation for the free ticket in advance on the "Yuelu Mountain Orange Isle Tourist Area" WeChat official account.🆓 📸 Photography tips: When taking photos in front of the statue, if you want to avoid the crowd, you can choose to take a low-angle shot with the blue sky as the background, and the photos will be super atmospheric. You can also stand near the railing and let the statue and the distant river view be in the frame together, and the sense of hierarchy will be instantly enhanced.👍 🎓 Hunan University: This is a prestigious university with a long history, with ancient trees in the campus.🌳 The ancient buildings and modern teaching buildings are well-arranged, full of academic atmosphere and historical heritage.📚 You can enter the campus directly from Exit 2 of Hunan University Subway Station. The building of the School of Foreign Languages in the campus is very beautiful and suitable for taking photos.📷 There are also many delicious shops in the campus, so you can go to eat some food to replenish your energy when you are tired of shopping.😋 📚 Yuelu Academy: It is located in Hunan University, and it takes about 8 minutes to walk from Exit 2 of Hunan University Subway Station. 🏯 As one of the four major academies in China, it is really worth a visit. The buildings in the academy are simple and elegant, with symmetrical central axes and several courtyards. There is a Confucian Temple on the east side and an Academy Museum on the west side, where you can learn a lot about the culture of ancient academies.📜 The ticket is CNY 40 per person, and students can get a half-price discount.🎫 🍁 Aiwan Pavilion: It is a 2-minute walk from Yuelu Academy. The pavilion is bright red and stands out against the surrounding green trees.🟥 In autumn, the maple leaves🍁 around the pavilion turn red, and the photos are super beautiful, like an oil painting. However, it is also charming to visit in other seasons, and a simple photo will be very beautiful.🤳 🌄 Yuelu Mountain: It is next to Hunan University and can be reached on foot.🚶‍♀️ You can choose to climb the mountain by yourself, which takes about 3-4 hours, and you can enjoy various beautiful scenery along the way. You can also take a sightseeing car up and down the mountain, which costs CNY 20 for a single trip and CNY 30 for a round trip, which is easy and effortless.🛺 There is a viewing platform on the top of the mountain, where you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the whole Changsha city, with high-rise buildings in full view. If you go there at night, you can also see the beautiful night view, with bright lights, which is amazing.🌟 🥘 Food recommendations: Near Hunan University, there is a street called Lushan South Road, which is a paradise for foodies.😍 There is super delicious stinky tofu, and you must try the black classic stinky tofu, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a mouthful of juice and an amazing taste.👍 There is also Jinji Sugar Oil Tuo Tuo, which is crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, sweet but not greasy, and you can't stop eating it.🤩 After visiting the scenic spots, you can have a portion of it, and you will feel very happy! Guys, Orange Isle and Hunan University are really worth a visit. You can not only feel the strong historical and cultural atmosphere, but also enjoy the beautiful natural scenery and taste various delicious foods. It is really great! Take your friends to check in!🎉
