Star City Travel Guide | Experience the Spicy and Gentle Sides of Changsha

| Experience the Spicy and Gentle Sides of Changsha. 🌶️ [A Taste of Changsha] • Start Your Morning with Rice Noodles: Steaming rice noodle shops can be found on every street corner. Pickled cowpeas, chopped chili peppers, and beef toppings can be added as you like. Slurp them down to awaken your taste buds. • The Romance of Sexy Tea: These Chinese tea shops are located every few steps. Order a cup of Yulan Latte. The creamed pecans blend with the tea base for a sweet but not greasy flavor. 🏯 [A Collision of History and Art] • The Poetry of Orange Isle: Take a small train and stroll along the island in the middle of the river. See the statue of young Mao Zedong gazing into the distance on the banks of the Xiang River. Cherry blossoms in spring and ginkgo leaves in fall create a picturesque scene. • The Ink Fragrance of Yuelu Academy: In this ancient academy, under the plaque that reads "Chu excels at nurturing talent," listen to the wind passing through the ancient trees, and you can almost hear the debates of Zhu Xi and Zhang Shi. 🎇 [Surprises on a Citywalk] • The Time Machine of Duzheng Street: Avoid the hustle and bustle of the main street and turn into the old teahouse in the alley. Listen to a performance of Changsha storytelling while smelling the fragrance of jasmine tea wafting between the bamboo beds and wooden tables. • A Journey Through Super Wenheyou: Neon signs, retro enamel cups, and green trains will transport you back to Changsha in the 1980s. Don't forget to order some flavored shrimp when taking photos. • The Romantic Limited Edition of Xiang River: In the evening, sit next to the Du Fu Pavilion and watch the fireworks on Orange Isle bloom on the river (weekends and holidays only). The evening breeze is full of the atmosphere of daily life. 📍 [Useful Tips] • Transportation: The subway covers the main urban area, and it is convenient to scan the code on the bus. It is recommended to walk or ride a shared electric bike around May 1st Square. • What to Wear: It is humid and hot in summer, so it is recommended to wear short sleeves + shorts, and bring a sun hat and portable small fan; in autumn and winter, you can wear a sweatshirt + thin coat, and remember to bring an umbrella as it rains a lot. • Avoiding Pitfalls: Go to popular attractions as early as possible (such as Yuelu Mountain, it is recommended to enter the park before 8 o'clock), and try to choose old restaurants with many locals for snacks. ✨ Changsha is a city that has "spicy" written into its genes, but it also hides the gentleness of the river breeze, academies, and old streets. Come here, feel the enthusiasm with your taste buds, measure the fireworks with your footsteps, and you will fall in love with this unique "Star City temperament."
