03 Female college student's budget travel guide to Changsha: A true 2-day sharing

03 College student's two-day, one-night ✈️ Changsha travel 🌱 is here! Here is a compilation of (travel tips and real travel experiences). Changsha is truly a city 🌆 of food, drink, fun, and entertainment. I love it 💕. I recommend everyone to visit Changsha. 🚗 Transportation—Changsha I recommend that you choose the subway 🚇. The Changsha subway covers the main attractions, which is convenient and cheap. There are many bus 🚌 and taxi 🚗 lines, but it is easy to get stuck in traffic during peak hours. 🏠 Accommodation Recommendations 1️⃣ I chose near May 1st Square. Convenient transportation, food, and shopping are all available, suitable for first-time visitors to Changsha. 2️⃣ At the foot of Yuelu Mountain The environment is quiet, suitable for travelers who like peace and quiet. It is super convenient to climb the mountain early in the morning. 3️⃣ Homestay by the Xiang River The river view room has a great view and is super romantic for watching the night view at night. ✅ Itinerary Day 1️⃣: Orange Isle The location of Chairman Mao's statue, feel the weight of history. It is recommended to go in the evening, the Xiang River at sunset is super beautiful! The small train is super convenient for sightseeing, CNY 20/person, and you can easily visit the entire journey. Day 2️⃣ Yuelu Mountain Changsha's "city green lung", climb the mountain to overlook the beautiful scenery of the city. Aiwanting Pavilion and Yuelu Academy are must-see attractions to feel the millennium of cultural heritage. Take the cable car or slide down the mountain, which is exciting and fun! Day 3️⃣ Taiping Old Street An antique pedestrian street with many authentic snacks hidden in it. Wen Heyou Stinky Tofu, Sexy Tea, Tangyou Baba... a foodie's paradise! Day 4️⃣ Hunan Provincial Museum The Mawangdui Han Tomb Exhibition Hall is a must-see to discover the mystery of Xin Zhui's corpse that has not decayed for thousands of years. Open for free, remember to make an appointment in advance! ✅ Food Recommendations 1️⃣ Wen Heyou Old Changsha Lobster Restaurant The retro-style decoration is like traveling back to the 80s. Spicy lobster, garlic lobster, fried lobster... each one is amazing! 2️⃣ Black Classic Stinky Tofu Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with chili sauce, one bite is super satisfying! 3️⃣ Tangyou Baba Sweet and glutinous, a Changsha specialty snack, be sure to eat it while it's hot! 4️⃣ Fire Palace A time-honored food gathering place, chopped pepper fish head and braised pork are super delicious! ✅ Total cost—CNY 245 💰 Food and drink: CNY 100 💰—Accommodation: CNY 100 💰 Subway 🚇: CNY 25 💰 Tickets 🎫: CNY 20 💰 (half price for students) 💡 [Travel Tips] 1️⃣ Students remember to bring your student ID 🪪. Scenic spot tickets 🎫 can be half price. 2️⃣ Changsha is super hot in summer, remember to bring sunscreen and parasols! 3️⃣ Sexy Tea can collect points to redeem gifts, don't forget to save them! 4️⃣ There are a lot of people during the holidays, it is recommended to travel during off-peak hours. Changsha is really a city that you don't want to leave once you come! Take this guide with you and start your Changsha trip! 🎒✨
