The off-season is perfect for traveling. I went to Changsha with my friends for a three-day, two-night weekend trip (+ Monday). The accommodation was super affordable!!! We stayed at the Gloria Plaza Hotel. It was clean, the rooms were spacious, and we loved it!!! PS: Wuyi Square and Wangfujing were under construction, and it was super, super dusty.😓! They're probably getting ready for the next peak tourist season. Next time I travel during the off-season, I'll check if there's any construction going on.~~ ✅Places I visited: 1. Hunan Museum (reservation required): Lady Xin Zhui was astonishing. It's amazing how well-preserved she is after thousands of years! 2. Du Fu Jiang Ge (no reservation required): You can walk to these three places one after another: Wuyi Square - Wenheyou - Du Fu Jiang Ge. I recommend seeing Du Fu Jiang Ge at night when it's lit up (it's just a regular attraction). 3. Hunan University (no reservation required): You can wander around, and there's lots of food nearby. 4. Yuelu Academy (ticket purchase required): The ticket is CNY 40. It's worth a visit +1. 5. Yuelu Mountain (reservation required): It's a 5-min walk from the south gate to the Aiwan Pavilion. You can see it first and then take the sightseeing bus because it's a bit far, and walking is tiring (CNY 20 one-way, CNY 30 round-trip✅). There's not much to see at the top, just the Changsha cityscape. Then, take the return bus to the slide (CNY 35/person). It's quite fun, so give it a try. 3, 4, and 5 can be seen together. 6. Orange Isle (reservation required): I recommend going on a working day. It's too crowded on weekends! I don't think you need to take the sightseeing bus on Orange Isle (CNY 40 round-trip). You can walk to the statue and enjoy the scenery and take photos along the way. With some stops, it doesn't feel too far. I've basically checked off all the famous attractions! Next up is eating, eating, eating😋 1. First place has to go to Chayan Yuese. Two cups a day, with the Orchid Latte being my top pick! 2. Black Classic Stinky Tofu: Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, filled with soup that bursts in your mouth. Delicious! (Sadly, the first one I bought was from a small stall, and it was a miss. It was over-fried and bitter, very unpleasant.) 3. Hunan cuisine: I went to Xiang Zai Guang Nao Ke Home-style Dishes. The food was good, but you have to go early. I recommend the sour radish tripe and the prawns. Hunan cuisine is spicy, so you can order a dish of stir-fried baby cabbage. Waiting there after 10:30 is about right, but they don't start serving until 11:00. (For other Hunan dishes, just find a random restaurant if you don't want to queue. Hunan food is generally good, and I haven't had any bad experiences.) However! I recommend that friends with sensitive stomachs bring some stomach medicine. Hunan food is a bit spicy, and it can easily cause diarrhea if you have a sensitive stomach (like me💢).

If you travel to Changsha, you must visit the plum garden at Orange Isle. The flowers are in full bloom, with 80% of the plum trees already blossoming, creating a romantic sea of pink flowers. 🌳 Among the many plum trees, the one next to Tang Shengzhi's Mansion is particularly eye-catching, with an ancient charm that seems to transport you back in time. If you want to take beautiful portrait photos, I highly recommend the two trees by the lake outside KFC. There are fewer people and beautiful scenery, making it easy to take great photos. This is my secret spot for taking photos! However, the more beautiful trees in the plum garden are always crowded with people. If you want to avoid the crowds, visiting after sunset is a good option, although the lighting will be weaker. But don't worry, there's another great photo spot - Lezhi Bookstore 📖 From the bookstore window, you can see the plum blossoms, and the view from the second-floor window is even more stunning, with Du Fu River Pavilion cleverly framed in the picture, making every shot a masterpiece. When visiting Changsha, don't skimp on accommodation. I highly recommend Changsha C-Chao Hotel in the city center, which is very close to the river and offers stunning river views at night. It's also very convenient to get to, with the subway taking you to Orange Isle easily. After a tiring day, you can quickly return to the hotel to rest 🛏️ It's great value for money, perfect for students and workers!

| A trip to Changsha isn't complete without a visit to Dufu Pavilion. Visit Changsha | A trip to Changsha isn't complete without a visit to Dufu Pavilion❗ Hey guys👋, Changsha isn't just about spicy food and vibrant nightlife. It's also home to many historical sites, and Dufu Pavilion is one of the most famous😎! Today, we're going to tell you why a trip to Changsha isn't complete without a visit to Dufu Pavilion. 📍 Prime location Dufu Pavilion stands on the banks of the Xiang River, close to Pozi Street and Taiping Old Street. After visiting the ancient streets, you can take a short walk to the river and see the pavilion. The area is full of delicious food, from the sweet taste of sugar oil baba to the "unique" smell of stinky tofu. Dufu Pavilion sits quietly among it all, with the hustle and bustle on one side and poetry on the other, perfectly capturing the two sides of Changsha. 🌆 Stunning river views at night When night falls and the lights come on, the whole city of Changsha seems to switch to dream mode✨. At this time, Dufu Pavilion is one of the stars of the show. Warm yellow lights outline its flying eaves and brackets, reflecting on the rippling water of the Xiang River like a moving ink painting. From the pavilion, you can see the bright lights of Juzizhou and the boats on the Xiang River. The river breeze blows your hair, and in that moment, you can feel the romance of Changsha💯. 📜 Rich history Dufu Pavilion is not just a beautiful building, but a "time capsule" of history. It was built to commemorate the poet Du Fu, and inside, you'll find many stone carvings of poems. You can almost see Du Fu drifting on the Xiang River, writing "The waves in the river rise to the sky, the clouds in the desert touch the ground." Here, history and reality intertwine, and every inch of air is filled with poetry. While you enjoy the scenery, your soul will be nourished by culture. 🎉 Diverse experiences During the day, you can take part in various poetry and cultural activities in the pavilion, reciting poems with a teacher and feeling the ancient charm. At night, there are concerts by the river, with folk and rock music. Or you can sit on the steps and watch the spectacular fireworks show at Juzizhou. The fireworks bloom over Dufu Pavilion, and the scene is so amazing that you'll run out of space on your camera📷! In short, if you miss Dufu Pavilion, it's like watching a great play without the climax. Add it to your itinerary and unlock the soul of Changsha💖!

#valentinegoodplace2025 Valentine's Day doesn't necessarily mean having a candlelight dinner or buying expensive Valentine's Day gifts. Accompanying the person you like to do the things he likes is the best celebration. My boyfriend and I love literature, so we decided to celebrate with a trip to Du Fu Jiangge on New Year’s Eve. Du Fu's Jiangge is located on the bank of the Yangtze River. We first went to the Jiangge to see the exhibition, read Du Fu's poems together, and feel the poet's profound thinking about nature and life. Stroll outside the Jiangge at night, admiring the elegance of the classical architecture and the sparkling water of the river. The lights at night are reflected on the water, so romantic. The two had a romantic and peaceful night❤️

🚘Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to Nanmenkou Station, leave from Exit 1, and walk straight for about 800 meters to FRE Gate. ⏳Opening hours: 9:00–22:00, lights on at 19:00 🎟️Tickets: Full price RMB 11, half price RMB 5.5 (no ticket required if you just want to take photos) 👘Clothing: You can wear a hanfu, or if you wear your own clothes, we recommend bringing some small accessories. The wind is strong by the river at night in Changsha. 🔆Highlights: The whole building is in the Tang style, with an ancient charm, and is very photogenic! Especially at dusk, when the lights are on, the pavilion and the night view of the Xiang River complement each other beautifully. Standing on the pavilion, you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Xiang River and feel the river breeze on your face, as if you have traveled back in time to enjoy the same river view with the poet Du Fu. 🪁Nearby attractions: After visiting Du Fu River Pavilion, you can go to Pozi Street and Taiping Street nearby to taste various Changsha delicacies, such as stinky tofu, sugar oil baba, and Chayan Yuese tea. ⭕️Other 1.

From Changsha back to Kunming, busy completing some tasks and then went to Lijiang. After sending friends back to Hunan, I still wanted to write the travel guide for Changsha as soon as possible. Due to off-peak travel before May Day, accommodation was actually not expensive. For the convenience of clarifying my thoughts, I still follow the timeline to keep a diary. Departing from Kunming by high-speed train to Changsha South, the hotel booked was the Happy Man Hotel opposite the Fubuhe subway station, a standalone building with a decent environment, gym, laundry room, breakfast, and nourishing porridge, quite comprehensive, enough for college students traveling. 300 per night. Regarding Chayan Yuese (a tea brand), there really is no need to squeeze into the crowded ones. Just order at any shop with fewer people, usually, you order offline and then queue for verification. After verification, don't wander around, wait for the freshly made drinks. There are too many ordering guides, just search online. Their Gudemuning and Yuanyang Coffee are highly recommended to try, personally, I find them more surprising. We were three people traveling, the 'Stupid Radish Liuyang Hunan Cuisine Restaurant' - don't be fooled by the small bowls, but the portions are large, we ordered five dishes and couldn't finish, costing 191 yuan, recommend the vinegar chicken and spicy beef tripe. Xiaolong Shrimp Changsha Shrimp Restaurant - garlic shrimp, flavored shrimp, braised large shrimp, crab, two pounds each, plus other dishes, costing over 900 yuan. Laojie Fish Mouth - the fish mouth is delicious, the sauerkraut fried vermicelli and stir-fried pork are very appetizing, over 200 yuan. In short, you can buy vouchers online for these places. The hotel is close to Du Fu Pavilion, May Day Square, Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street, Nanmenkou, all very near. Wenheyou is a bit further away. But all can be part of a post-dinner digestion walk. It is recommended to visit these spots at night to see the night view. Additionally, Pozi Street and Taiping Old Street are also in this circle. Friends who can walk should just walk. Changsha's subway is very convenient, the clustering effect of attractions is good, all are close, taking the subway saves money and hassle, use Amap for navigation if unsure.
