When you mentioned Changsha, did you think of Hunan Satellite TV at first sight? Anyway, I am, but after living in Changsha for so long, I finally began to know more, eat, drink and be merry more and more, and I finally fell in love with this city.

Not only is my home here, but I also find it a city full of happiness: the capital of entertainment, with low housing prices, beautiful scenery and many snacks.

Today, I would like to recommend to you the top 11 scenic spots that must be visited in Changsha. Each one is more exciting. Do you know a few? Remember to like them!

1. Orange Island

Orange Island is a 5A-level scenic spot, which is located on a long island in Xiangjiang River and is very beautiful. The island has a large area, so tourists can choose to walk or take a small train, and take a bus to 21 yuan once.

Of course, the most distinctive thing in the scenic spot is the statue of young Chairman Mao, which is the largest statue of Chairman in China, and it is one of the scenic spots where all tourists have to punch in when they come to Orange Island. Standing in orange island, although we can't write the magnificent poem of Qinyuanchun Changsha, we can certainly appreciate the broad mind of Xiangjiang River.

2. Yuelu Mountain

Yuelu Mountain is one of the most scenic spots worth visiting in Changsha. It is the only indoor mountain in Changsha, with complete facilities, both roads for running and cars, and paths for tourists to climb for sightseeing. The air is good and the scenery is beautiful, so it is the first choice for Changsha locals for weekend leisure sports.

There are mainly two different routes to visit here:

Go up the mountain from the south gate, and visit Yuelu Academy, Aiwan Pavilion and Gulushan Temple in turn. At this stage, you have to climb by yourself, and the temple has to take a path to get in;

Take the battery car up the mountain from the east gate, then go down the mountain to play all the way, and finally come out from the south gate.

After crossing the corridor at the top of the mountain, you will reach the rest area at the top of the mountain, where you can have a panoramic view of the high places in Changsha and take many beautiful photos, and then take the cable car down the mountain. The speed of the cable car is not fast, and the whole process is very quiet. You can watch Orange Island from a distance, and it is also suitable for meditation and relaxation. On weekends, you can invite friends to climb and look far away, and the air is fresh and you feel comfortable!
