No need to squeeze with the crowds—I captured 9 amazing spots in Changsha away from the busy areas

During the National Day holiday, I went to Changsha with my family and really felt like there were a hundred million people 😂 Luckily, I prepared my itinerary in advance and got up early, so I managed to shoot at 9 beautiful spots that avoid the crowds~Before leaving Changsha, make sure to take photos at these places!! Pictures 1️⃣-2️⃣: Xiangjiang Riverside Park 📍The spot is at West Gate 4 of the park. Walk down the stairs toward the riverbank, where there are several small paths extending over the water. The photographer stands on the opposite side and zooms in several times to shoot! 🚇 Line 3, Fubu River Station Pictures 3️⃣-6️⃣: Orange Isle ✅ Picture ③: On the left side opposite the statue, there are some step stones you can stand on. Squat down and shoot upward with zoom to avoid passersby in the frame. ✅ Picture ④: Wangjiang Pavilion to the left of the statue. Head here first when entering the park. Because of the queue, I went straight here at 7 AM when the park opened (there are still a few people in the background, but they can be edited out). ✅ Picture ⑤: Wentian Terrace opposite the statue. The model stands on the steps, and the photographer shoots from below with zoom. ✅ Picture ⑥: The flower bed in front of the statue. This spot is very dynamic and can be shot anytime. It’s recommended to shoot here last. Picture 7️⃣: Youth Square 🚇 Bisha Lake Station, Exit 5. Cross the street to Youth Square and walk left for over 100 meters. Picture 8️⃣: IFS International Finance Square Rainbow Wall ✅ Indoor route: Navigate to “Flower Power” on B1 floor, right opposite the store. ✅ Outdoor route: Navigate to “Yonghua Building,” which is diagonally opposite the building. Picture 9️⃣: Huangxing Square Exit from Exit 2 of Huangxing Square Station. Everyone crowds around the subway entrance’s iron fence to take photos, but the entire open square next to it works just as well! It looks even better at night with the lights on. The photographer should stand farther from the model and squat down with zoom. 🥗 Food Guide‼️ ✅ Tried the popular Ben Luobo, Yizhandeng, Guangnaoke... (personally thought they were average). The best was a restaurant called “Xingfu Family Cuisine” 💯 Ordered 5 dishes, and every one was super delicious!
