We spent a relaxing few hours on the IFS rooftop, enjoying the stunning views and live music from a street artist. Sitting on the floor, we chilled and soaked in the vibrant atmosphere, surrounded by the glow of the city lights and the KAWS sculpture. The music set the perfect mood as we unwound, chatting and taking in the sights. It was a peaceful escape, where we could simply enjoy the art, the tunes, and the calm energy of the night. #discoverchina #travel #couplestrip #changsha

We had a fantastic lunch at *The Boots* at Changsha IFS, despite a 30-minute wait due to the full house. The atmosphere was lively, and although it was busy, the service was impressively quick, making the wait worthwhile. We ordered the salmon rosti and roasted spring chicken, both of which were absolutely delicious. The salmon rosti had a perfect crispy exterior, while the tender salmon inside was cooked to perfection. The roasted spring chicken was flavorful, juicy, and had just the right amount of seasoning, leaving us all satisfied. Overall, our experience was top-notch, and we left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. The quality of the food, combined with the fast service, made it a memorable meal. We will definitely be returning to *The Boots* for another round of tasty dishes and will happily recommend it to anyone visiting Changsha IFS! #discoverchina #travel #couplestrip #changsha

Exploring the Changsha Wordings Wall was a captivating experience. We admired the vibrant murals and creative designs, each incorporating the word "Changsha" in unique artistic styles. The wall’s mix of modern graffiti and traditional calligraphy reflected the city’s dynamic culture and history. We spent hours taking photos, intrigued by the different interpretations of Changsha in the artwork. The Wordings Wall was not just a visual treat, but a cultural journey, leaving us with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for the city’s creative spirit. #discoverchina #changsha #travel #couplestrip

It was a memorable visit that left a lasting impression. #celebrateit #travel #couplestrip

I had been thinking about taking a taxi from the hotel to IFS to eat Hunan cuisine. But the Hunan cuisine business is too good. We arrived at 3pm, started taking numbers at 4pm, and the store didn't open until 5pm. I gave up decisively and chose the Italian restaurant next door. Two people ordered two dishes. The signature spicy beef pizza - I really like the crust of this pizza, it is just the right hardness and thickness, and very chewy. I specifically asked the chef and he said that he uses Italian Caputo flour. There is also a lot of cheese and vegetables, and eating the roll is very satisfying. Sea Bass Avocado Eggs Benny - I think the fried sea bass is quite flavorful, and the Eggs Benny has a light flavor. The girl loves to eat.

Changsha IFS has launched another super interesting exhibition, which is simply eye-catching and opens the happy mode of running to the new year! The exhibition is called "RUN to Light", which is the first cooperation between Changsha IFS and artists. It is really creative. The exhibition hall is full of strange characters, which makes me dazzled and completely immersed in it. I love the golden clown 🤡, the flashing neon lights ✨ and the green-haired elf 🧚‍♀️ on the background board of the big flowerpot. Every detail is designed with great care. Exhibition name 🔖: [RUN to Light] Central China premiere Exhibition period 📅: January 20, 2024 - March 23, 2025 Exhibition time 🕰: Monday - Sunday 10:00 - 22:00 Exhibition address 📍: IFS L7 Exhibition ticket 🎫: No ticket required 🆓 No reservation required This kind of interesting and niche exhibition is definitely worth a visit! You can see it for free and take beautiful photos. Go and check in!

Changsha is such a great place, here is a guide to eating, drinking and having fun Juzizhou is already the next level! The Jiangtian Muxue Immersive Theater is really interesting. Using the clue of the Eight Scenic Spots of Xiaoxiang - Jiangtian Muxue, it connects three unit plays about love, friendship and rationality, and uses digital light and shadow to tell the story of a lonely boatman in a straw hat and raincoat fishing alone in the cold river snow.

​I went on a business trip to Xianning, Hubei, and chose to transfer in Changsha, where I could drink "Chayan Yuese" tea. ​As soon as I got off the train, I saw Chayan Yuese, and there was one every three steps, everywhere. My little photographer took me to "Ben Luobo", a popular restaurant in Hunan, which is a bit like our "Zhu Fugui" in Fujian, but our "Zhu Fugui" is much better. Spicy, spicy, spicy, spicy girl, I don't like Hunan cuisine very much. A total of CNY 82: Stir-fried pork with chopped red pepper CNY 35, pan-fried egg CNY 28, stir-fried sauerkraut CNY 27, free rice (one bucket per table), napkin CNY 2. IFS Rainbow Wall🌈 ​​Changsha is a city worth visiting, and the IFS is a must-see as the most lively part of Wuyi Square. Crowded Orange Isle, this niche photo spot is amazing❗ No reservation! No walking! No ticket! ​Quick photo, quick check-in!📸 ​It's not that I can't afford to go to Orange Isle, but that Bisha Lake is more cost-effective. ​Since I was short on time, I saw this way of checking in, a set of ten photos, CNY 50. The last stop of the whirlwind tour was Changsha, perfect.

Nice Americano, lowest price with self thumble.#couplestrip #travel #chengdu

🏠Store name: Grande A'moo (Changsha's first store, IFS) 📍Address: L504, 5th Floor, IFS, Furong District 🕙Opening hours: 11:00–21:30 I finally made an appointment with my best friend to eat at this beautiful restaurant on the 5th floor of IFS. Be sure to come early, as there may be a queue. Zhangshugang chili beef pizza is a complete Hunan specialty. The pizza is baked in a stone kiln, and you can watch it being made. The base is moist and soft, and the chili beef is fragrant. Green grape matcha yogurt bowl is a must-try for matcha lovers! The matcha flavor is blended into the smooth yogurt, and every bite is full of fresh tea fragrance. The pasta is handmade, and it's fun to stir the hot pasta in the cheese bowl. The tiramisu is very authentic, with a sweet and delicate coffee liqueur flavor. The dishes are exquisite and delicious, and the photos are great. After eating, my friend praised me for choosing a good restaurant.

📍𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐒𝐡𝐚 Join in the fun During the National Day holiday, I joined everyone and squeezed through the crowds to go to Changsha, a place I had never been to but had always wanted to go to. 🚄: Hangzhou = Changsha, we chose the high-speed rail, which is cost-effective and does not take long. Tired of sitting ✈️, it's nice to come down occasionally 🚄~ 🏠: Since there were many of us, we chose an apartment B&B with 3 rooms. It was more cost-effective than a hotel, with an average of more than 300 yuan per night per person. The location is also very advantageous, right at the subway entrance, very convenient to go anywhere, and opposite the homestay is a popular Hunan restaurant, which is also convenient for checking in. 🛝: We spent only 2 days on the trip and went to Yuelu Mountain, Hunan University, Hunan Radio and Television, IFC, and the rooftop of Wanjiali Building. 🍽️: I checked in at Benluobo, Li Ji Red Lantern, Cha Yan Yue Se, and some snacks. 🦶: Finally, we also experienced a popular foot bath shop and queued for 6 and a half hours🤣 (we went to get a number first, then went to eat, and finally went back to the foot bath shop to wait for a seat)

Changsha, the city that never sleeps, is a place where young people stay up all night and can't get up in the morning. At night in Changsha, you can see coffee shops everywhere. On Tianxin Street, there is a coffee shop full of vines, located in an old house that has been passed down for three generations. There is a painter who hangs his and his wife's works. If you pass by one day, go in and take a look.

It’s 2024 now, I have to go to Changsha! The line in "Qinyuanchun·Changsha" "Standing alone in the cold autumn, the Xiangjiang River flows north, at the head of Orange Island" is my first understanding of Changsha. Apart from the "spicy" Hunan cuisine, I know nothing about this mysterious southern city! During the 5 days and 4 nights, we also included Fenghuang Ancient Town and Zixing Dongjiang Lake in our itinerary. Fenghuang Ancient Town was mainly visited by taxi and walking, Zixing was visited by car, and Changsha Metro was used to explore the entire city. The route is as follows: DAY 1: Nanjing - Changsha, Wuyi Square - IFS - Chuiyan Stir-fried Beef - Gongjiaoxincun Noodle Shop - Du Fu Jiangge - Super Wenheyou DAY 2: Changsha - Fenghuang Ancient Town, Miao costume rental and photo shoot - Ancient Town Night View DAY 3: Fenghuang Ancient Town - Zixing, Gaoyiling DAY 4: Xiaodongjiang Lake in Zixing - Bailang, Zixing - Changsha, Orange Island - Trident Sunset - Gan Changshun - Cha Yan Yue Se - Taiping Old Street DAY 5: Sunrise at Yuelu Mountain - Yuelu Academy - Hunan University Snack Street - Hunan Provincial Museum, Changsha - Nanjing For a long time, my travel destinations have always been abroad, but the exploration of the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland in the past two years has made me deeply feel for the first time the inheritance of Chinese history and the rapid development of the economy and tourism industry in various cities. In just a few years, one after another Internet celebrity IPs have come from Hunan, such as Cha Yan Yue Se, Super Wenheyou... Changsha has become one of the top three Internet celebrity cities in the country! Such a great charm, you must come and see it! The ancients listed Yuelu Mountain as one of the 72 peaks of Nanyue, and called it Yuelu Peak. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been a tourist attraction with famous places of interest scattered all over the mountain. Yuelu Academy, the top of the four ancient academies, Gulushan Temple, Yunlu Palace, and Aiwan Pavilion are all popular check-in spots. But before visiting these places of interest, be sure to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise! Until the moment when the golden edge of the sunrise is embedded in the city skyline, you will know the sense of ritual of watching the sunrise for Changsha locals. You can only feel the excitement of welcoming the dawn when you come to the scene! Since it is so popular to watch the sunrise at Yuelu Mountain, the guides all suggest arriving at 3 am to occupy a favorable position. It is said that if you go too late, you will not be able to squeeze in. But getting up in the early morning was difficult, so we set the alarm for 5 o'clock and set off at 5:30. We saw the sunrise time at 6:10 and thought we could see as much as we could. When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we found that many people began to walk down. It turned out that the sun was hiding in the clouds today. But we still took the sightseeing bus to the top of the mountain. Maybe it was God's favor, when we arrived at the best viewing point for sunset, the sun jumped out from the clouds, and everyone was so excited that they quickly picked up their cameras to take pictures! Although the sun is not as big as it was at 6 o'clock, it is still very beautiful. The sunlight shining on the river is golden. The city is about to start a vibrant day. After watching the sunrise, don't rush to take the bus down the mountain. You can walk to the Aiwan Pavilion on the other side of Yuelu Mountain. In autumn, you can also see the fiery red maple leaves. Yuelu Academy is also here, the largest of the four major academies in China. It is recommended to find a local guide to listen to the explanation. Take a walk in Yuelu Mountain in the morning to give your lungs some oxygen It is said that Yuan Mei, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, visited Qingfeng Gorge in Lushan Mountain and proposed to change the name of "Red Leaf Pavilion" to "Love Late Pavilion" based on the poem by Du Mu, "I stop my car to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February".
