Recommended overall route for one-day tour of Yueyang Tower: Yueyang East - Baling Square - Bianhe Street - Yueyang Tower - Ugly Duckling (lunch) - Sheng'an Ancient Temple - Piaowei - Yueyang BBQ (dinner) - Yueyang

Depart from the station: Changsha South (9:17) - Yueyang East (9:50), 69.5 yuan. Return: Yueyang Station (19:38) - Changsha Station (21:19), 25 yuan from Yueyang East Station, you can take Y55 road

Directly to Baling Square, 2 yuan. Right in front of Baling Square is a statue of Hou Yi shooting the snake, and behind the statue is Dongting Lake.

On the left side of the square is Caviar Lane. The day I went there was a weekday, so there were almost no people, but it should be very lively on weekends.

On the right side of the square is Bianhe Street. I tried Ding Gao and Xian Bean Cake, which cost 22 yuan per piece. Crossing Bianhe Street is Yueyang Tower, the ticket price is 70. The Yueyang Tower scenic spot is very large. In addition to Yueyang Tower, there are many small attractions.

***Wandered around for about an hour and a half.

Come out of the Yueyang Tower Scenic Area quickly and take a taxi to Ugly Duckling. The price is 14.28 yuan. I went here because of its reputation, but it didn’t feel amazing to me. The braised duck tastes very homely~ and it’s not suitable for going alone.

Sorry, I couldn’t finish the small portion of duck hot pot, so I had to take it out for lunch. Lunch was 132 yuan.
