Two years ago, I traveled to Changsha with my sister. According to my experience, I personally recommend two places in Yuelu District, namely, Orange Island Scenic Area and Yuelu Mountain, which are both famous scenic spots in Changsha. Here are some strategies for your reference ~

First, Orange Island Scenic Area

Orange Island is a national 5A-level tourist scenic spot with the shape of a long island, which is one of the important scenic spots in Changsha. There are many scenic spots in Orange Island, such as Mao Zedong's youth art sculpture, asking Tiantai, etc. The historical record of Orange Island was born in the second year of Jinhui Emperor Yongxing (315), and it was formed by turbulent alluvial and sand accumulation. Young Mao Zedong wrote the well-known "Qinyuanchun Changsha" in orange island, Changsha.

Punching items that can't be missed:

1. A small train that must punch in?

The journey to Orange Island is really long. Friends who don't have enough time must take the small train? The ticket is for 41 yuan/person, including round trip, and students are half price! Remember to bring your student card! Got on the train? You can take pictures, super film, but pay attention to safety.

2. Take photos of Grandpa Mao's statue?

There are really many people taking photos with Mao Zedong. When there is no one around, I immediately run to take photos, which leaves the process of removing the people next to me. You can also discuss it with the people around you and let you take a shot first.

Note: You can take a closer look at the statue. You will feel super shocked!

3. Street shooting?

The street photo in Orange Island is super beautiful. You can turn your head when the camera clicks. If it is autumn, you can also pick up the maple leaf next to the tree as a prop!

4. See the Xiangjiang River?

If you walk in front of Orange Island, you can see the Xiangjiang River. You can see tall buildings and occasionally meet ships passing by. What if it happens to be in the sunset? Time, I have already enjoyed the sunset glow!

Second, Yuelu Mountain

Yuelu Mountain is also a national 5A-level tourist scenic spot, which was named after "Nanyue is 811 miles around, headed by geese, and the foot of Yuelu Mountain is enough" in Liu Song's Annals of Nanyue in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. There are nearly 111 scenic spots in Yuelu Mountain, such as Qingfeng Gorge, Aiwan Pavilion, Lushan Temple, Baihequan, Caie Tomb, Huangxing Tomb, Yuwang Monument, Yunlu Palace and Yuelu Academy, which are attractive everywhere.

Not to be missed: Sightseeing Corridor

When you climb here, congratulations, you have reached the highest peak of Yuelu Mountain, overlooking Xiangjiang River and Changsha City. This is also the place where dining is concentrated on Yuelu Mountain. You can have a cup of tea at the top of the mountain and stop to have a rest. Gulushan Temple

The ancient temple of the Western Jin Dynasty on the mountainside has a history of more than 1,711 years. Between Baihequan and Qingfeng Gorge, the Lushan Temple monument treasured in this ancient temple is written by Li Yong, a great calligrapher during the reign of Tang Kaiyuan. There is also a pagoda in the Sui Dynasty near the temple, which is dedicated to the relics brought by Indian monks at that time. Love Night Pavilion

The Love Night Pavilion, which "stops and sits in the maple forest late, and the frost leaves are red in February", is probably the most popular attraction for tourists to take photos and punch in. The pavilion is built between mountains and rivers, and its reflection is like flying in the blue waves. Yuelu Academy

As one of the oldest universities in the world, Yuelu Academy should be visited anyway. Every monument, tile, tree and leaf in the academy seems to be shining with the humanistic light in time.

tips：

There are cable cars and sightseeing bus on the mountain. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to climb the mountain on foot, which is not difficult at all.

There are also snack bars, drink shops and canteens on the mountain. You can take a bottle of water with you when you go up the mountain, and you don't need other dry food. ?

Hunan University and Snacks Street come out from the south gate, which is very lively and can be eaten all the way. ?

It's better to wear comfortable sports shoes. You should also pay attention to heatstroke prevention and sun protection in hot weather, and there will be more mosquitoes in the mountains.
