Trip to Changsha, China 🇨🇳

It was a trip to Changsha, China 🇨🇳We started our adventure in Changsha with a visit to Orange Isle (Juzizhou), a scenic island in the middle of the Xiangjiang River 🙌The best time to go is in the morning when the sunlight ✨ casts a golden glow over the river, perfect for capturing the serene atmosphere 📸 We took photos at the giant Mao Zedong Youth Art Statue, a striking landmark with a dramatic backdrop of the city skyline. Before leaving, we walked across Juzizhou Bridge, where the panoramic view of Changsha was simply breathtaking 💯 📍Orange Isle Address: No. 2, Juzizhou, Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan, China 📍Juzizhou Bridge Address: Juzizhou Bridge, Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan, China We also explored Yuelu Mountain ⛰️ a must-visit for nature lovers and photographers. Early morning ☀️ is ideal, as the mist rolling over the hills creates a mystical effect. We captured incredible shots at Aiwan Pavilion, an ancient red pavilion nestled among maple trees, especially beautiful in autumn 🍂 In the afternoon, we strolled down Taiping Street, one of the oldest streets in Changsha, filled with traditional architecture and vibrant street food stalls 🥘 We highly recommend trying stinky tofu and getting a picture with the bustling market in the background🙌 📍Yuelu Mountain Address: No. 58, Lushan Road, Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan, China 📍Taiping Street Address: Taiping Street, Tianxin District, Changsha, Hunan, China We also visited Meixi Lake in the morning, where the futuristic Meixi Lake International Culture and Arts Center designed by Zaha Hadid gave us some of the most stunning architectural shots 📸 The best lighting is during sunrise when the soft hues reflect on the water. In the evening, we went to IFS Tower Skywalk, the best place for a night view of Changsha 💕 We recommend arriving at sunset 🌇 to watch the city lights gradually illuminate, creating a mesmerizing contrast against the twilight sky 💯 📍Meixi Lake Address: Meixi Lake, Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan, China 📍IFS Tower Skywalk Address: No. 188, Jiefang West Road, Furong District, Changsha, Hunan, China #discoverchina #travel #vacation
