#Get a discount without relying on luck Changsha Pedestrian Street, near Huang Xing Railway Station During the day, you can take pictures of the beautifully arranged bronze statues on this pedestrian street, and you can also learn about the history of this city very well. Although the era has changed, the Yi shopping street is still the same. Many restaurants are located in this small alley. Don't miss out on trying Changsha's local food. In addition, after playing in this area, you can also cross over to Orange Island or walk to the IFS square, which is not far away. Anyway, don't get lost 😅🤣 Because the alleys here look quite similar.

Summer is coming and Changsha has a lot of exciting places you can visit so here are a few recommendations that I visited on my trip. All of these are free except for Orange Island which was like 20rmb or so: 1. Meixi Lake Chinese Knot Bridge (there is no other attraction close by so it’s kinda out of the way but worth it for great photos) 2. Huangxing Square 3. Wuyi Square 4. Taiping Street (shopping for souvenirs - make sure to price shop first because I bought some keychains for 3 times the price another shop had and they were the exact same thing😢) 5. Orange Island (foreigners need to first go to the visitors center to get a slip of paper which you can then use to get a ticket for the in park transport. It’s a large park so be prepared to do some walking) 6. Chaozong Street (lots of Changsha signs) #mustvisit #changsha #adventure #localguides #summervacation #historicallandmarks
