It is also a hot item in autumn and winter🎉 It is hard to say which one is better between the "Signature Crab" and the "Garlic Hairy Crab". The signature crab has the numbing taste of green pepper, while the garlic hairy crab has a stronger garlic flavor. They are all plump female crabs. Each crab has a lot of crab roe and the meat is tender. It makes people drool when eating it~~ How can you not eat authentic and delicious Hunan cuisine when you come to Changsha?

#changsha #Wenheyou Fun place to visit and really makes you feel like you’re back in the 90s! It may be a bit busy but it’s fun being in such a vintage feeling place right in the heart of Changsha!

When the first Wen He You opened in China, it shocked the whole network. This immersive commercial scene became popular nationwide and a must-visit destination in Changsha. It's said to attract even more visitors than 5A tourist attractions. You have to visit at least once, and since it's very crowded during the day, I chose to come after 12:00 at night, which turned out to be the right decision. ⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed address: Inside Hisense Plaza in Tianxin District, Changsha City, which is in the city center, within walking distance from Huangxing commercial area, IFC, etc. 🚗Transportation tips: Exit 2A of Xiangjiang Middle Road Station on Subway Line 2, 800 meters walk. 🕙Opening hours: 11:00-3:00, note that it really is open until 3:00 in the morning. This is especially friendly for those who like to take photos, as it gets much less crowded after 1:00, especially upstairs where you can take photos freely. 💰Ticket price: None 🌟Highlights: 👉Wen He You in Changsha is an 80s-style building with lots of snack bars and formal dining, but what's most special are the many photo-worthy scenes. The dilapidated old buildings, flickering neon lights, retro posters, and nostalgic grocery stores are all free to enter in an air-conditioned indoor environment. This immersive dining experience has, since 2018, pioneered a new form of business. Afterwards, similar venues opened one after another in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and even if they're not called Wen He You, other cities have similar commercial forms. It can be said that it has been replicated a lot. 👉In terms of food, most of the malls used to have very formal restaurants, but here, most are street snack style, with stinky tofu, milk tea, and crayfish being the main attractions. The entrance on the first floor is located on Xiangjiang Middle Road, also known as Yongyuan Street, which was transformed from a real street; the entrances on the third and fifth floors are inside Hisense Plaza, which is interconnected with Hisense Plaza. Each floor has photo spots for checking in, and you can explore for hours, but be careful, it's easy to get lost. 👉Changsha's nightlife is rich and varied, and this place is a representative of that. There are still many people walking on the nearby streets at two or three in the morning, probably because the city likes to eat late-night snacks. It's suitable for living and also very suitable for younger people. Pozijie and Huangxing Road Food City are nearby, and it's more interesting to stroll around at night than during the day. 📌Little Tips: It's been open for six years now, and the retro nostalgia trend in commerce is also becoming prevalent nationwide, gradually leading to aesthetic fatigue in many places. Wen He You in Shenzhen and Guangzhou are almost cooling down. Taking photos is generally enough after one or two visits, and it's necessary to think of other ways to attract traffic, such as hosting art exhibitions, performance movie spaces, celebrity press conferences, etc., to constantly create new topics.

Coming to Changsha, don't just know about Pozi Street and Taiping Street. Today, I will take you to a night market that locals love to visit, which is currently one of the larger night markets in Changsha—Yangfan Night Market. Yangfan Night Market is located on Wanjiali Road in Furong District, Changsha. As night falls, Yangfan Night Market gradually becomes more and more lively, with a variety of delicacies, barbecue skewers, hot pot, pan-fried buns, sushi, and all kinds of fruits available. Here you can see the enthusiasm of the people of Changsha, as well as the city that never sleeps. This lobster restaurant is busy 365 days a year, once having a queue of 20,000 people checking in. Without saying much, everyone knows that this is Changsha's newly popular internet-famous check-in spot. Indian flying cakes: Fruits, eggs, meat floss, nearly 20 flavors to choose from, and you can also see the flying cake performance. We bought the meat floss flavor, which tastes good, but there are many people in line. Super Ge's Spicy Hot Pot: You can take whatever you want to eat directly from the pot, but the key is their soul dipping sauce, which is really amazing! Youlu: The marinated lotus root is highly recommended; it's the kind of big lake lotus root that is very flavorful. Duck feet and duck webs are only a few yuan each, and of course, you can also buy them by the pound or individually. Address: Yangfan Community, Hehua Road, Furong District, Changsha City, Hunan Province Route: You can take the subway line 2 and get off at Wanjiali Square Station and walk there.

Here is a guide to eating, drinking, playing, and taking photos at Super Wenheyou. Must-eat food list: 1. Sugar oil Baba: The crust is crispy, and biting into it reveals a soft and sticky texture with a sweetness that goes straight to the heart. Such a satisfying and happy feeling 2. Donggua Mountain meat sausage: Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, deliciously crunchy, especially with the secret spicy chili oil, it's amazing 3. Wenheyou shrimp: How can you not eat crayfish at Asia's largest crayfish restaurant? The crayfish are big and flavorful, and the meat is very bouncy. 4. Lard mixed rice: How to describe it? It's just the taste of childhood 5. Alley pig's feet: The pig's feet are tender and very flavorful 6. Xiaogang brand stinky tofu: How can you not eat stinky tofu when in Changsha?

📅 Itinerary: Hunan Museum - Xie Zilong Photography Art Museum - Wen He You (Hisense Plaza) 📍 Hunan Provincial Museum: A great place to learn about Hunan's history and culture. Came specifically to see Lady Xin Chui, a miracle of history. The recommended route is 2nd floor - 3rd floor - 1st floor, with Lady Xin Chui on the 1st floor, and the Mawangdui Han Tombs on the 3rd floor. 📍 Xie Zilong Photography Art Museum: Xie Zilong and Li Zijian are very close to each other, if you have time, you can visit them together~ There is a charge for viewing the exhibitions at Xie Zilong, but if you just want to take photos of the exterior, it's completely free🆓 Must mention the security uncle here who helps take photos and guide poses, absolutely amazing! 📍 Super Wen He You Hisense Plaza: With a total of six floors, it can be said to have been transformed into a super mall - combining shopping, food, entertainment, and night views all in one. The interior design style is unique, instantly taking you back to the 80s/90s. If you plan to eat here, make sure to book way, way in advance‼️ It's really crowded😂 Changsha is truly a city full of charm and vitality, I hope this guide can help you have a pleasant day trip! Bring your camera and create beautiful memories📸

There is actually an indoor 🚡, a lotus pond, and snacks that cost a few dollars. Oh my god, the scene setting is really 🐮. It is located in a department store, and there is a modern shopping mall just one door away. It feels like traveling through time.

This is the second time I have visited Wenheyou. It is a great spot to take photos. This season is the best for eating crabs. I really can’t put it down and feel like I am in love. I also did the panoramic view of Wenheyou on the cable car. Will visit again

When you come to Changsha, where will you check in? Orange Island, Yuelu Academy, IFS, or Wenheyou? Although Wenheyou is being replicated more and more across the country, Changsha Wenheyou, as the originator (the first one), is undoubtedly the most popular and well-known one. Changsha Wenheyou, which focuses on retro feelings, is like a large-scale script-killing, instantly pulling you back to Changsha in the 1970s and 1980s, feeling the past of this city, and experiencing the life scenes of your parents. Isn't this a kind of travel, isn't it a reflection on modern life? From the perspective of commercial real estate, the emergence of Wenheyou has brought a new model and a new perspective to the industry. Things that have passed away are often the most valuable to sell. Do you agree? (If the land space allows, Hong Kong can also replicate one to restore the life of Kowloon Walled City back then). If you come to Changsha, remember to visit Wenheyou, you will not regret it.
