Top 50 things to do and attractions in Changsha

Our group arrived at 3.30pm , having very limited time to walk around the largest History & Art Museum in Hunan. It has a total floor area of 112,469 square meter. We were told currently it houses over 540,000 items (sets) of cultural relics & artifacts in its collections. The cultural relics & artifacts were unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tombs, bronze wares ,pottery and porcelain works from various dynasties, paintings, calligraphy works. Thus there are 2 basic exhibitions, namely "The Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tombs in Changsha" and "Hunanese-Exhibition of Hunan History and Culture" The Mawangdui Exhibition Hall is chock-a-block with visitors, making it very challenging for us to get a good view of the tombs of the Marquis of Dai & Lady Xin Zhui. However, there are wall-mounted text panels providing descriptions of exhibits. As closing time is 5pm , we just strolled through before closing time, making a last visit to its Souvenirs Shop. Like they say, “ Hunan Museum” also known as “Mawangdui Museum” is a cultural landmark of Changsha City which attracted millions of visitors. It’s a must see in Changsha if you ever travel to Hunan !!!

Highlight was seeing an actual mummy a corpse preserved for over 1200 years using ancient Chinese method from Han dynasty time. I was intrigued beyond belief. Photography is generally allowed inside the museum except for the mummy. They’ve 1:1 replica of the tomb that was unearthed back in 1972.

A nice museum which has two main displays now, one is Pompeii ruins & the other one is Han Dynasty tombs with well kept mummy. The body is amazing fresh like just passed away recently. Of course, a lot of items including kitchen ware, cloths & potteries. A very impressed exhibition.

Reall nice museum. Recommended to go. Book in advance, free. Special event have pay.

If you're a tourist, please get the hotel receptionist/concierge to assist you. This museum requests a local contact number in order for you to get an entry ticket. I've never been so excited to see a vast collection of artefacts displayed in a museum. This museum also housed fully preserved tomb structure and wealth that comes with it, making it one of the most important archaeology discoveries ever recorded of the 20th century. One of many museums I'd visited thus far that fascinates me. Visiting hours : 0900 - 1700 (last entry 1600) Closed on Monday. Entry with valid ticket and passport.

The entry system sucks as they are unable to scan the pre-registered QR codes and detect the registered ID document efficiently. The on-site staffs are helpful and have tried their best to guide the crowd and identify the queue which accepts the non- Chinese ID registrations. The management can do much more, such as setting up the LED signages at the entrance and enhancing the computer systems please!! The exhibitions are amazing and impressive as the 2000 years old “lady mummy” named 辛追and her stuffs are kept well, I like its thinnest silk jacket. They even show the original drawing of the imagery heaven and hell by Chinese painters several 1000 years ago (the one with black bird, which signifies the god of Sun), before the belief of Buddhist arrives in China. However, the bad experience at the entry nearly ruins this visit, the museum management should put more efforts in improving this. Further, please add the basic English instruction on the signages. For foreign visitors , please be reminded to register to reserve the free entry tickets at preferred time-slots via the official WeChat account, the reservation is opened 7 days in advance.

Most of the exhibits comes with English description, and features artifacts that are over some 2000 years ago. The exhibits shows how the wealthy influence the society and even till now.

A pleasant place to visit. There are a few displays. It is possible to climb to to the top level of the Pavillion. If you are visiting and you see a group entering one of the buildings and putting on 3D glasses, you should follow them for an audio visual presentation with English sub-titles.

Peaceful pavillion in the city center. 32 CNY entrance fee to enter the top of the hill. Surrounding park is free.

Did not go into the pavilion as it required entrance fee of CNY32. Outside the entrance, there are many people doing all sorts of exercises.

Very beautiful place. A lot of old people come here to practice some kind of kung fun and exercises. The people are very nice and friendly

Closed until the beginning of 2024.

Relaxing place away from the bustle of the city

Amazing

Probably the best China could afford in those era to give it's citizens a view of the great places of the world. Now most of them probably afford to see the original ones across the globe. OK for kids, to have a glimpse of the world famous sites and monuments in the same place.

Window of the world was an experience! The theme park itself was quite old and worn, with a lot of the park looking dirty and unclean. But it had a certain charm and I especially enjoyed the lake's water fountain show to some Disney and opera songs. I really did enjoy it and the lack of stars is only a reflection on the tiredness of the park. Sydney Opera House for example looked as though it had been on a three week bender - looked a bit dirty and smelly, but like lots of fun...

Came here for a layover in Changsha. Tickets are expensive (180 RMB) and not worth it. The park was tired and worn out with barely any people during the day. Seemed almost like an abandoned amusement park. Performances were not happening and there were barely any staff in the park. Go to the one in Shenzhen...it's 10x better!

Beautiful theme park with very accurate reproductions of world famous monuments. Very nice cultural show in evening. Don't miss to see the beautiful Chinese girl dressed as Chinese traditional wedding girl. Thanks to Ms Zheng Hao who took me to this beautiful place during my visit to Changsha. Must go during visit to Changsha.

Nice playing ground

(Translated by Google) I was prepared to go after seeing the reviews saying it was old, but it was even more beautiful than I expected. It was nice that there weren't many people. I took my 1-year-old with me, and it was nice to take a walk, and there was also an indoor amusement park for kids. The staff seemed to be taking turns taking a break, so there were some play equipment that I couldn't ride on. Boats and VR require additional fees. When I ordered gyudon at a shop next to the roller coaster that rotates once, it was seasoned like a hot pot. There were also other stinky tofu shops. Although you can't see it on the map, there are many hills, so if you have small children, we recommend renting a stroller. The Ferris wheel had a lot of stairs so it was a little difficult. It was a nice change of pace. I think 20 yuan per person is cheap considering you can play this much. (Original) 古いとのレビューを見て覚悟して行きましたが、想像より綺麗でした。人も少なく良かったです。1歳児を連れて行きましたが散歩するにも良く、子供向けの室内遊園地もあって良かったです。スタッフの方が交代で休憩に行ってるらしく乗れない遊具もありました。 ボートやVRは別料金が必要です。 一回転するジェットコースターの横のお店で牛丼を頼んだら、火鍋の味付けでした。 他にも臭豆腐の店などもありました。 地図では分かりませんが坂道が多く、小さい子供がいる場合はベビーカーを借りることをお勧めします。観覧車は階段がすごくて少し大変でした。良い気分転換になりました。 これだけ遊べて一人20元は安いと思います。

(Translated by Google) Not bad, I went there when I was in junior high school. We played for an entire afternoon and felt exhausted before we finished playing. My best friends who played at that time have now gone their separate ways. I came across these photos today and it struck a chord. Hey, posting this comment is also a way to commemorate my youth! (Original) 还行吧，初中的时候去过，当时我们玩了一个下午，没玩完感觉血亏，当时玩的最好的朋友们现在也各奔东西了，今天翻到这几张照片触景生情，哎，发这个评论也是纪念一下我的青春吧！

It takes around 45mins of uphill walk to reach the peak from the main gate entrance near 溁湾镇(地铁站). Was a tiring hike up, but there is an option of a tram ride. Hike up and on your way down, you can visit An Wan pavilion, then Yue Lu Academy.

This one was quite overrated for me. Once you get to the entrance you pay for a bus service to go to the top assuming you don’t want to take the long walk. Once you are up there you can see a nice view of the city but that’s about it. The other attractions here are kind of mediocre.

Obnoxious entry process, you have no idea what documentation is needed and the entry area is crowded. Seems worth it if you can clear all the communist control hurdles

so hot

Long walk up the mountain 🏔 but well worth it. Crowded on Sunday’s.

Is a lovely place in Changsha City. The Yuelu mountain is good for a walk from the lowland to the top of the the mountain. Along the way you can see old temple very well maintained. The walk to the top of the mountain take about one hour. The are many place to relax and enjoy with young children. You can take a mini bus or the cable chair to the top too.

Not high altitude… and dont forget to enjoy the chayan yuese

Great park with a beautiful lake, a memorial and an amusement area. Suitable for all ages

Tranquil park with excellent scenery. The park features a lake with four islands in the centre.

A pleasant park for a stroll. Certain parts of the park have amusements and are noisy. Other parts are quiet and peaceful. It's a large park.

I went into the park thinking it was just a park with little walkways and a lake. It turns out it is much more fun than that. It has a small theme park with fun rides. Places to eat and have a drink. Little boats to rent to go out on the lake. It is a really clean and happy place and a nice way to spend a sunny day in Changsha.

Great place to relax and enjoying the scenery and calmness.

Very historic place.

Wow it's a really amazing place🤩😍 and very Beautiful I loved it❤💚💜💛 I advise all the people of the world to visit him👍🤩😍

Kaifu Temple is renowned for its blessings, featuring a statue of the White Guan Im near the entrance. Upon entering with a ticket, visitors are provided with a set of incense. The temple houses several rooms of statues for blessings.

When you visit Changsha, make sure to stop by this historic temple. In 1956, it was established as a cultural conservation unit in Hunan Province. It is one of the most important open monasteries in Chinese Buddhism, the Buddhist Zen Linzong Yangqi Temple. Before you enter and purchase tickets, they will additionally offer you a packet of three joss sticks to worship with. When you enter, there is a large Guanyin statue where people gather to pray for blessings and good luck. There are several old buildings inside, with a solemn and quiet environment that will leave you feeling peaceful and calm. The lotus pond inside the temple is full of pigeons and turtles, and there are small monk statues down the aisle. Many Chinese people love to come here and take pictures with those yellow and red walls too. Address: 湖南省长沙市开福区开福寺路52号 (Take a metro line 1 to Kaifu Temple station, and exit at exit 1) Open from 6:30–18:30 (stop entry at 17:30)

The history of the temple is as long as the City of Changsha. It goes back to the Tang, two thousand years age. Most of the building in the temple complex are only a few hundred years old. If you are looking for a feel of local history is a great place. The temple is just beside the Kaifu MRT Station.

Amazing place. I really enjoyed it and I would gladly go back

Very big temple！

good

Nice temple, with a fee of 10 yuan/person

Good Connectivity to CHANGSHA KEY TRAIN STATIONS [CHANGSHA and CHANGSHANAN (Changsha South).] Changsha Huanghua airport is connected by Metro and Maglev train to link you to the main train stations in Changsha. To get to High Speed train station at CHANGSHANAN (SOUTH), take Metro Line 6 from Airport Station to RENMIN EAST ROAD station. Then change to Metro Line 2 to JINTAI station. This station is just a few minutes walk to the High Speed Rail station that can connect you to other major cities in China (especially Zhangjiajie). Just ask for assistance from the counter if you need help.

Changsha Huanghua airport is a surprisingly large airport. It serves as a hub for Hunan province and services both domestic and international flights. It's quite large and spacious and I find that it's a bit more modern than other airports in more popular cities in China.

Took a connecting flight here to Urumqi. Nice airport though we only made a stopover. Impressive handling of luggage as seen on the screen while waiting by the conveyor belt to retrieve our luggage. Kudos to the staff.

Ridiculous safety check when LEAVING the country. They take all apart to find batteries. While other countries encourage you to leave all your items in your bag, china wants you to take everything out. Is there technology that old or are they just paranoid or bored???

A small airport but efficient;going through immigration is easy.They installed the biometric finger print system.Look for the tourist information center and they will advice you the best options to get to the city.Shuttle bus is just 19 yuan as compared to the taxi which is more expensive.Overall good experience

Was Flying Domestic From Changsa To Beijing Today, Was Coming Into The Terminal & One Lady And One Guy With Bomb Disposal On There Vests Just Shouted And Screamed At Us!! We Clearly Don't Understand There Language But We Was Literally Coming In To Check In!! Our First Greeting Was Shouting And Screaming At Us!!!

Boring at international departures. Not much restaurants or cafe. Only 2 hours ahead of flight time to checkin for international flights. P

If you want to try their street food and if your concern is on the hygiene this is the place to go you get almost all the street food here. The plain pau is a must to try and the food here taste good. It’s a tourist must try place.

This restaurant serves all kinds of Hunan local specialties and is worth a visit. Price is also affordable.

Very crowded, many choices on dishes, must try stinky tofu in black color

Was still under construction didn't get a chance to enjoy the fire palace

Transitional local food altogether, not the best taste tho

If you're a tourist you have to go here. If you don't speak Chinese they don't want you downstairs - it's too complicated, and they have their hands full with a gazillion Chinese tourists. They send you upstairs to a buffet affair, which is OK. Be brave. But don't bother with the black tofu: pace other reviewers, it's actually dull here - much better is to be had from the small shops down the street

A famous traditional restaurant in the province. Good service and quality of dishes were above average. Place was considered to be clean. Should try the deep fried stinky bean curds and the steamed fish head with chilli.

Passport required if you're a foreigner, make sure to bring. Free entry. Small museum. Many of the bamboo slips are replicas, not original. And the original ones, are in a glass casing, that reflects the lighting. So almost impossible to see and read! No English audioguide. There is limited English signage. 4G signal is strong, so if you have a roaming sim you can use Google Translate via images. Worth up to an hour here, no more. Visited on a normal Saturday in May. No queue at all to get in. Relatively quiet and empty.

It's a museum about the origin of writing materials. It's a great museum to visit if you are literate in Chinese or you have someone to translate. Otherwise, you can give this place a miss.

It's a fast walk in and walk out if you don't know Chinese because the English translation isn't good hahaha. But otherwise it covers the history of manuscripts, in particular bamboo slips.

Interesting to see the writing materials of old

(Translated by Google) This museum displays bamboo slips from the pre-Qin to medieval times. The exhibition area is divided into two floors. The first floor provides a general introduction to the concept of "bamboo slips," their categories, and various bamboo and wood slips excavated during the pre-Qin and Han dynasties. It also discusses the evolution of written language in bamboo slips around the world, including mentions of slips from non-Chinese regions such as Japan, Korea, India, and Western Europe. The second floor, titled "Flowing Xiang River," showcases bamboo slips from various periods excavated in Hunan. Most of these are cultural relics, accompanied by traditional Chinese explanatory texts. In addition to the more familiar Qin and Han slips from Liye, Wuyi Square, and Zoumalou, these also include slips from the Warring States period, written in Chu script, from Wulipai and Yangjiawan. Unfortunately, many of the slips in the display cases are replicas. Overall, the museum offers a rich collection of artifacts. The descriptions and explanatory texts on the slips are also clear. The overall presentation is geared towards providing an introductory understanding of bamboo slips. It is suitable for those who are interested in bamboo slips and researchers who want to understand the general outline of the discovery of bamboo slips in Hunan. (Original) 展示先秦至中古時期出土簡牘的博物館。 館內展區共分兩層，一層大致介紹何謂「簡牘」、簡牘的類別、以及先秦兩漢發掘的各類竹木簡牘。另有簡屆世界各地文字載體的流變，當中也提及日、韓、以及印度、西歐等非華夏地域的木簡。 二層以「湘水流過」為題，陳列湖南發掘的各時期簡牘，多是文物展出、並在一旁附有繁體釋文。這當中除了今人較熟悉的里耶、五一廣場、走馬樓等秦漢簡之外，也包含五里牌、楊家灣等戰國楚系文字之簡牘。略感可惜的是，展櫃中有不少簡牘為複製品。 總體而言，館內文物展示豐富。對於簡牘之文字介紹、釋文陳列，也稱得上清晰。整體陳設定位在對簡牘認識的入門。適合對簡牘有興趣者、以及有意了解湖南一地簡牘發覺梗概的研究者，進行參訪。

(Translated by Google) In the age without paper, people relied on stones, wood, and metal sheets to keep records. The brief reading is worth reading. (Original) 在沒紙的年代，就靠石頭，木材，金屬片作記錄了，簡讀值得看看

A giant pedestrian area with a lot of shops and street food with a section of luxury brands along with normal day to day Chinese brands. At night it looks really pretty with the lights and the vibes here are great. Just make sure to stay weary of tourist traps when you eat the food here.

Wuyi Square is basically Changsha’s living room — loud, neon, and never asleep. By day it’s a crossroads of commuters, shoppers, and snack-hunters. By night, the whole place glows like a giant karaoke stage, with street performers, food stalls, and more energy than three cups of milk tea. What to do: • Wander into Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street for snacks and shopping. • Brace yourself for stinky tofu — it smells like regret but tastes like victory. • People-watch, take night photos, and soak in the chaos. Tip: go to Juzizhou station at sunset, watch the lights set and stroll slowly over to Wu Yi square for max vibes

Packed with people, can be quite hard to walk around. However lots of bars, cafe, restaurants and malls.

A place to enjoy all the Chinese delicacy in one place, and shopping ofcourse.

Very Busy Vibrant Area, All Your Shopping & Entertainment & Food Is All Here. An Absolute Abundance Of Eating Places & Shopping Highly Recommended

Everything is very entertaining and very safe.

Happening shopping street

I don't think you can finish walking this entire street in 1 day with the numerous shops and eateries. Just when u think you covered it all, the metro or subway in the basement has even more shops, and whether it is weekend or weekday, the entire place is jam-packed with people. For shoppers, this is a must visit, and the stuff sold is reasonably priced.

🇨🇳 Always lively and full of energy! I’ve been here several times just to hunt for food — truly the heart and color of the city.

Best shopping street and food paradise in Changsha. Lots of local snacks and souvenirs to bring home from here. Try their food court with varieties of local street food and Hunan cuisine. Don't forget to try their famous Changsha Black Stinky Tofu.

I went to Changsha as a visitor and I went to this street,gotta say,amazingly competitive,awesome food,literal McDonald,and a mall,with toy shops,restaurants,it’s crazy! There is literally miniso!Just that really cold,and hard to find toilet,one of the only toilet is at the FOURTH FLOOR of the entrance mall,but at least there is elevator,but for some reason,the lift easily overweights

Crowded and lively with a great vibe. Fun to walk around the experience Chinese people out and about having a good time. Side streets have the small stalls for some delicious local fare - fried noodles, dim sum soup ..... Take the metro there is very easy.

My most favourite place in Changsha. Great food, clothes, shops and coffee. Everything in one place. The only problem is the language barrier but we don’t need to speak that much.

Lots of places to shop and lots to eat! Needed to spend a whole day here

High speed train.. Huge modern facility, like size of airport terminal.. Pickup tickets at basement ticket office. Very efficient but train can be very long. They start moving on time so rush to your train car. All seats are assigned. Bathrooms are decent . High speed train can go up to 300 km per hr. The high speed train station we used was changsa South... It has a huge number of stores inside because the station is probably the size of two football fields

nice

(Translated by Google) It is directly connected to the South Railway Station. Just walk out of the station and take the escalator down. It is quite crowded and the subway interval is about 6 minutes. relatively long. (Original) 和火车南站直通，出站口步行一下子坐手扶梯下去就到了。人相当的拥挤，地铁间隔时间约为6分钟。比较久。

(Translated by Google) A station that looks like an airport. The security is the strongest I have ever had in China (Beijing included). The security check is very strict, prohibiting anything that is aerosol (deodorants), knives, scissors and so on. Very disconcerting knowing that all these objects have passed through other stations and even into the metro.. (Original) Un gare à l'allure d'un aéroport. La sécurité est la plus forte de tout ce que j'ai pu avoir en Chine (Pékin compris). Le contrôle de sécurité est très rude, interdisant tout ce qui est aérosol (déodorants), couteaux, ciseaux et j'en passe. Très déconcertant sachant que tous ces objets sont passés dans les autres gares et même dans le métro..

(Translated by Google) It’s usually not too crowded and it’s easy to change transportation modes. (Original) 通常不算特别拥挤，转换交通方式比较方便

Have many different kinds of plants. Especially when the Sakura blossoms. Spring is the best season to go. The tickets for special activity is too expensive.

It is a charming place, so fresh and beautifully designed. You can have a lot of fun there.

Great

(Translated by Google) Wake up early and come walk and jog here. The atmosphere is fresh, filled with trees and flowers, arranged in an orderly manner and very clean. Come travel and still get exercise in a foreign country. It's very worthwhile. You don't have to pay to enter this place because you come to exercise in this area before 6:00 a.m. If anyone arrives at 8:00 a.m. The participation fee must be paid within. (Original) ตื่นเช้าก็มาเดินและวิ่งออกกำลังกายที่นี่ บรรยากาศสดชื่นเต็มไปด้วยต้นไม้ ดอกไม้ จัดอย่างมีระเบียบและสะอาดมาก มาเที่ยวแล้วยังได้ออกกำลังกายในต่างแดนคุ้มค่ามากคะ สถานที่นี้ไม่ต้องจ่ายเงินเข้าน่ะคะเพราะมาออกกำลังกายที่บริเวณนี้ตั้งแต่ก่อน6โมงเช้าคะ หากใครมาถึง8.00น จะต้องชำระเงินค่าเข้าร่วมภายในคะ

(Translated by Google) free. As of October 2020, reservations are required before visiting (entry). Please note that you can only apply for a reservation using a (Chinese) ID card, so you cannot make a reservation using your passport, but you can check your passport at the entrance before entering. Most people take off their masks after entering, but you must wear a mask at the entrance. It seems like they are doing a temperature check. It is a fairly large park with a variety of trees and flowers, making it great for walking or sitting. I saw the greenhouse, but I don't know if I can go in or if there are tropical plants inside. When you enter through the north gate, there is an area with amusement rides, and next to it is an event garden where flowers appear to change into pretty plants depending on the season. Around the lake, there are trees living near the water and a bridge passing between them. To the west, the hill continues and there are many sculptures, pavilions, small ponds, etc. that seem to have nothing to do with the botanical garden. It's a large place, but I think I saw a couple of stalls inside, and there were a lot of people preparing food to eat. There is also awkward Korean language information on the information board. (Original) 무료. 2020년 10월 현재, 방문(입장) 전 예약해야 함. 참고로 예약신청이 (중국)신분증만 가능해서 여권으로는 예약이 안되지만 입구에서 여권 확인하고 들어갈 수 있음. 입장 후에 벗고 다니는 사람이 대부분이지만 일단 입구에서는 마스크를 써야 함. 발열검사 하는 것 같음. 상당히 넓은 공원에 다양한 나무, 화초 등이 가꿔져 있어서 걷거나 앉아서 즐기기 좋음. 온실을 보긴 했는데 들어 갈 수 있는지, 안에 열대식물이 있는지 모르겠음. 북문으로 들어가면 놀이기구가 설치된 구역이 있고 그 옆으로 철 따라 꽃이 보기 좋은 식물로 바꿀 듯이 보이는 이벤트성 정원이 있음. 이어지는 호수 주변에는 물가에 사는 나무들과 그 사이로 지나가는 다리가 연결돼 있음. 서쪽에는 언덕이 이어지고 식물원과는 별로 상관없어 보이는 조형물, 정자, 작은 연못 등이 많이 있음 . 넓은 장소이지만 안에서 매점 같은 것은 두어 개 정도 본 것 같고, 음식을 준비해 와서 먹는 사람들도 많음. 안내판에 어색한 한글 안내도 있음.

(Translated by Google) There is no admission fee if you come in before 8 a.m. Since I was staying at a nearby Vienna hotel, I got up early in the morning and went for a walk in the park. The park is very big, the air in the park is fresh, there are many local citizens doing morning exercises and jogging, the scenery is also good, in short it is great. (Original) 早上8点之前进来是不收取门票费用的。由于住在附近的维也纳酒店，所以早上就早起去公园里溜达了一圈。公园很大，园内空气清新，有不少晨练和晨跑的本地市民，风景也不错，总之很棒。

My journey going back home was a surprise and a disaster, from Changsha south station to Guangzhou railway station. First, while I was queuing for my ticket at the ticket office, a staff from the station came up to me and my friend and said “we would like to film you and your friend for a special news”. This was out of the blue and I definitely did not want to but she did not acknowledge my response and decided to carry on moving me to the ticket box and started filming us. I will accept that because of the communication barrier but was it necessary to read out, not only mine but my friends passport number out so loud through a mic phone for everyone to hear and on news too! CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY AND I HOPE THEY EDIT IT OUT FOR PERSONAL SECURITY! They also took so long time to process my ticket which was extra annoying as I was in hurry for the train that was about to leave in 30mins which I still had to go through check-in, security check and find my gate number! Second. After experiencing 3 high speed train journeys, I have always placed my hand luggage in between my legs which has enough room for the person in-front of me to move their chair back to sleep. But noooo! These guys next to me insist to move my luggage to the overheads which they really p*****d me off so much! I struggled so much to get it down because of my height and that I also want to get of the train ASAP for my next train. Overall, Changsha is a good railway station but I definitely suggest not want to stay long in the station as it’s really crowded and beware of local asian people, they can get aggressive.

(Translated by Google) Located in the center of Changsha, the design of the clock tower is very special, very chronological and Western-like. Most old train stations in Chinese cities have this design. The square in front of the station is quite chaotic, with a mixed feeling and a lot of garbage. There is no direct access to the subway, so you have to go through security check in the square in front of the station. (Original) 位于长沙的市中心，那个钟楼的设计很特别，非常有年代感，偏西方的感觉，中国城市一般以前的老火车站都是这样的设计。站前广场比较混乱，鱼龙混杂的感觉，垃圾也很多。地铁没有直达通道，必须到站前广场安检进去。

China has a good development, modern and excellent nature preservation ... I am happy in this trip ... And I'll be back to travel.

Nice place to visit in Changsha if you have time to kill

This review is for the whole area around here, which was a bustling touristy street full of shops and eateries with a distinct Changsha flavor. Definitely worth visiting and probably my top places to go in Changsha.

That's Chinese culture and nice to see

The hotel is beautiful in all way. But in this century there is a plug by the bed is a totally no no... N the wifi suck big time...

Small park, but totally worth it

Sadly it looks like a completely remade structure. It says over 2000 years but... all new from what I can tell. Nothing in English to explain what is what. At least its free

Google Pin is wrong, go to Hisense Plaza. It is located there. Interesting place to eat local dishes. Reminds me of the Old Hong Kong

It is an all-in-one place which you can enjoy traditional Changsha sneakers. Price a little bit higher than street place. Environment inside was been build like 80s-90s normal food business. Always crowded due to it is well-known place at Weibo. To be a native person, I am nurture with the whole food presentation. However, it is a must eat place for outside people. Cheers!

A famous eating spot due to clever marketing and PR, I was told that the young owner started his business in a tiny food stall and expanded in a very rapid time. As our party knew the owners, we were given priority seating without the usual 1-2 hour wait. The insides of the restaurant were modeled after the streets of Changsha from retro years back, and was quite a sight to behold. Certain VIP rooms had a homely theme as well. Food was pretty tasty, highlights besides the small lobsters (langoustines) were the rice served in lashings of lard and soy, hollow stem veggies, plum pickles. The fermented tofu was passable. Instructions were given to de shell the langoustines but I wasn’t very good at it so it was good my party had experts.

A reproduction of the old Changsha with a multitude of vibrant restaurants serving Hunan spicy food. Spicy rock lobsters, and lamb spicy hot pot are a must.

This is heaps of fun! You have to get a ticket and wait your turn for a table (you can recognise Chinese numbers when the concierge bellows them out, can't you?) It's a tick-the-box menu, and printed in fancy script, which makes it pretty hard to read if your Chinese isn't great. The staff will try to help you, but they panic a bit and won't give you time to puzzle out the menu. Lesson: while you're waiting for your table, obtain a copy of the menu to study It all works out in the end: the "lobster" (yabbies, crayfish, marrons, langoustines) are what you came for, and they're worth it. They come in several levels of hotness - make your preference known. Ignore the black tofu - much better is available from shops on Pozi St

Nice little place but it is quite boring when there are many people.

Lots of small shops for snacks, it resembles the atmosphere of a typical old town in China and brings back some old memories…

Fantastic zoo, well spread out, lots of animals; very clean and loved seeing the Pandas.

Really sucks! When it rains most animals are keep inside. When we paid for all the animal shows we only got to see the monkeys & bears cycle around. But the consolation is that we get to see the wild animals at it's close proximity & running towards the mini bus. Won't ever go again.

There are not many animal species

Super

(Translated by Google) Overall it's okay, the environment is good, but the consumption inside is relatively expensive, and the square is currently under construction, so the entrance is quite confusing. (Original) 总体还可以，环境不错，就是里面消费比较贵，还有目前广场在修建，入口处比较混乱

(Translated by Google) Paid. The most expensive adult ticket is CNY180. With this ticket, you can use safaris, animal shows, etc. Your passport is required as your ID will be checked when purchasing a ticket. If you have a Chinese ID, it seems you can scan the QR code and process it through your mobile phone without waiting in line to buy a ticket. After entering the entrance, the safari bus departs near the exit on the left. The windows on the bus were all glass and did not open, and the window on the right seemed to have more things to see. However, the bus speed was so fast (for a safari) that it felt like it was spinning around a race track. At the safari drop off point, there is a building where animals living in the cold water are gathered. There is an animal performance area in the same area as the children's zoo, and there is a place where you can ride goat-drawn carriages, horses, and camels. Animal performances include bears, monkeys, and tigers. It's unavoidable, but I feel sorry for the animals that appear. Overall, the zoo is well-equipped with a variety of fish, birds, reptiles, etc., and there are quite a few monkeys and tigers. I unexpectedly saw a crocodile, but for some reason I couldn't see the panda as it was away from home. The ride area is outside the zoo entrance. There is a restaurant and own brand hamburger restaurant.

Fun night life! Completely walkable and offers a lot of stores you can visit!

(Translated by Google) It's a lively street, but things are a bit expensive. (Original) 很熱鬧的一條街，東西有點貴。

Great place to shop and eat

A hustle-bustle hub for street-buskers and street food in Changsha. This pedestrianized shopping street is surreal with it's vibrant marketing ploys inclusive of costumes, games and dancers that try to encourage you into the jewellery shops. Plenty of stores selling the authentic street food from the spicy dried duck, stinky tofu and skewered meat (and creepy-crawlies like scorpion and centipedes). The malls are great value for money for clothes and sporting good and there are a load of souvenir shops. The only downside is if you are quite sensitive to noise, the token marketing loud speakers do make quite a blaring enviroment.

Another popular pedestrian street to visit in Changsha. There are numerous retail and grocery stores, leisure and entertainment options, and humanistic learning opportunities available here. It is a giant 3D advertisement screen where you can take a video, as well as a nearby Huangxing bronze statue. You may discover many wonderful Hunan dishes and snacks here, including stinky tofu at 黑色经典臭豆腐, drinks from 茶颜悦色, a modern Chinese tea shop, and crayfish shrimp. You can also buy a few souvenirs here before traveling home. The view in the evening and at night is stunning, with colorful lighting and vibrant music. To take a picture of the Changsha landmark sculptures, KAWS: seeing/watching, which are displayed on the building's roof on the 7th floor, you can walk directly to the IFS mall from here in about 5 minutes (you can take an elevator near the shopping center to go up). If you would like, you can wait in line to take a photo with it. The tallest structure in this area, IFS Tower T1, is also available for photos. Address: 湖南省长沙市天心区黄兴南路383号

Amazing place, clean, nice and amazing. I miss changsha already. Love from Singapore

Nice place for shopping

This is the main pedestrian shopping Street in Changsha with many local fashion shops and restaurants. Prices are very reasonable and quality is good. Overall, it is good value for money to shop here.

Like many other China cities of the same, this place offers varieties, e.g shopping, food.....

Long street of shops. Food and other varieties. Must try the black stinky tofu.

Worth A Nice Stroll Along Lots Of The Same Vendors Selling The Same Things. Definitely Try There Moji Fried Sweet Ball.

Very crowded street but worth the visit. There are other streets on the side that link the main one with big brands.

Shopping or fun street changsha India Restaurant MMK is available with nice taste and good quality Indian food for shopping must need cash no cards accepted

They hardly spoke English.

Fun shopping street

Very crowded 😄street with thousands food stalls and eateries.

good

It's quite relaxing letting the chairlift do the work. It was a bit hazy so the views were not as good as they could have been. There are a few cafes and some space to walk around at the top. As well as the chairlift there are little busses that go up and down. There's also a slide that comes all the way down. Be sure not to miss the last ride down (I was told 4:30) if you are coming down on the chairlift.

i will share .the problem for tourist 1 .when you go to gate near tourist center ,dont need to scan qr code it for the local ,just show passport 2. some day it close, turn right you will see bus stop, use we chat pay to buy bus ticket the app will translate in english

Serves its purpose very well. Astonishing to aware that it takes so much energy to top a small mountain like Yuelu

We walked up from Yuelu Academy to this chairlift on a warm Sunday morning and then took the chairlift back down. The chairlift was quite fun - there were many restaurants in the suburb at the base of the chairlift so this is a good day out if you are stuck in Changsha on a weekend. The whole area has a really relaxed atmosphere with plenty of tea shops, restaurants and people enjoying themselves. Highly recommended.

Don’t take this with babies or little kids - not safe and they won’t warn you at all. You know it’s fixed cablechairs, not cable cars as claimed, only if you actually have no choice but rush into a chair (in this sense you are lucky enough to check these pictures beforehand). When your youngsters fuss the only thing you could hope is good luck as you won’t be able to guarantee that you have free hands to take care of the situation (there ain’t seat belts to secure anyone). Attitude of the crew is also very bad - not considerate at all. They will just try to tell you that you are psychos or cowards and they’ll keep telling you they never had any accident, a way to avoiding taking any responsibilities or intentions to improve their service. They don’t understand that things are always fine before anything devastating really happens.

Normal cableway. You get a view of the city on your way down if you’re lazy to walk. Same view as from the summit. Nothing to shout and be excited about.

Recommended aid if you make a tour to the Yuelu mountain. Staff cannot speak english and pushing you. View is amazing on a sunny summer day.

A nice urban park around the city of Changsha.

(Translated by Google) Not far from Zhangsha station There is a hall modeled after a lily pad designed by world-famous architectural designer Zaha Hadi, and the surrounding area is modern with a forest of high-rise apartment buildings, and the roads are wide and the Meikei Lake Park is spacious and beautifully planted.

One of the 4 oldest schooling institutes in China, and is the one with the best perseverance. Beautiful architecture, landscaping gardens and pools. It is now part of the Hunan University.

A very good place for you to understand ancient China

1000yrs old+ academy! Very historical place, it’s big with nice view. It’s a good place to take pics and you can enjoy coffee and tea inside!

The oldest public higher education institute of China. Well preserved. Set in the deep woods of Yuelu Mountain.

Wonderful ancient seat of learning in the equally impressive Hunan University. Must see.

One of the four ancient academies in China. Plenty of history to explore and enjoy.

Very historical and nice place! A must-go place I Changsha!!

i walk down from the mountain in the morn ing about half hour . it near the acedemy

Good walk from Hunan University. Fortunately, the weather was fine.

A long time ago, some famous artist wrote a very popular song at this place. Chinese people love this place, so it is very crowded. But it's nice to have look and you can visit a lot of other stuff like yue lu Academy near by in walking distance.

Well preserved structure with historical significant.

Came here in the winter. It's absolutely stunning! Will have to come back for fall.

A gorgeous pavilion on Yuelu mountain. Great place to relax.

Should be beautiful in autumn. But nothing special in other seasons.
