In addition to the famous traditional scenic spots such as Orange Island and Yuelu Academy, Changsha has many special scenic spots, which are not famous but not to be missed!
Look at the typical karst landform-Thousand Buddha Cave.
Thousand Buddha Cave is a cave formed 360 million years ago and the youngest cave in China. Its landform is complex, and there are rare canyons in the cave, with a vertical height of nearly 100 meters. There are thirteen holes in the cave, and there are holes in the cave, and the holes are connected with each other. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, so it's a good place for summer. At the entrance of the Thousand Buddha Cave, there is a reservoir called the Heart Washing Pool, which needs to be entered by boat. The cruise ship is heading for the cave.
In the heart washing pool, the blue waves are slowly receding, and the hole in front is slowly sinking. As soon as I entered the cave, I felt a chill. After a night tour under the starry sky, I vaguely saw three or two lights. It detoured for a while, drifting away, and the moon stars were rare, just like Penglai fairyland. After the first hole, I left the boat, entered through the hole, and set foot on a path paved with slightly swaying boards on the water. Spring water gurgled on both sides, and cold water penetrated my feet. Occasionally, I don't know where to drop three or two drops of water, and I slammed it again.
A good place to drift in summer-a cool heart and a flying heart
Shiyan Lake has a profound history and a long history of culture. Drifting here is divided into: underground drifting and forest drifting. The underground drifting channel is long and steep, and the temperature in the canyon is between 17~ 18 all the year round. The river sections along the forest drift are densely wooded, with rapids and rapids and calm streams. One moment exciting, the other calm.
Boarding the rubber raft with friends, sitting at both ends of the rubber raft, holding hands on the raft, the lifeguard pushed hard and the rubber raft washed down along the current. In the turbulent torrent, I want to go with the flow. Before the first landslide, the raft didn't listen to me, so I couldn't help diving. We screamed in unison, and the spray slammed on my face, and my body was soaked.
Seriously, Changsha is really not a tourist city. Most friends who come to Changsha regard it as a transit point to Fenghuang Zhangjiajie and Chenzhou Hengshan, but if you really want to travel to Changsha, I suggest you mainly experience the local culture and taste Changsha cuisine and nightlife.
You can climb the mountain in Yuelu Mountain in the morning. Yuelu Academy, one of the four major academies in China, is at the foot of the mountain. Feel the culture of Hunan and Chu. These two places are near Xiangjiang River. Teachers College of Hunan University is not far away. You can visit the university town there.
You can also go to Orange Island on the Xiangjiang River. At that time, there was a huge portrait of Mao Zedong, a young man, where Chairman Mao wrote down the spring snow in Qinyuan. Whenever there is a grand festival, there will be a grand fireworks here.
At night, you can take a boat to Fisherman's Wharf, which is another punching point near Xiangjiang River, and you can also go to Taiping Street, one of the few stone roads in Changsha. In addition, Hualong Chi Bar Street with Lijiang style and Jiefang West Road, the most lively bar street, are also nearby.
Other historical and cultural attractions in Changsha include Tianxin Pavilion, Baishajing, Dufu Jiangge and Mawangdui Han Tomb.
A song "Qinyuanchun Changsha", Grandpa Mao takes you to know Orange Island and see all the mountains and forests. When you come to Changsha, you must come to Orange Island to see the stone statue of Chairman Mao. It's easy to find when you come in.

There are three must-see attractions in downtown Changsha:
1. Yuelu Mountain. Climbing a mountain is not high, but there are many scenic spots and history.
There are Wang Yu Temple, Huangxing Tomb and Cai E Tomb, and many historical figures are buried here.
There are Lushan temple, Buddhist temple, morning bell and dusk drum, chanting Buddha's name.
When Mao Zedong was young, he studied there, organized clubs and discussed current affairs.
There is Yuelu Academy, one of the four major academies in ancient China. There are many celebrities here, and Zhang Wei was the dean of the college. It is the predecessor of Hunan University.
2. Orange Island. On the bank of Xiangjiang River, young Mao Zedong and his classmates pointed out the inspiration of Jiangshan. Xiangjiang River is wide and undulating, very majestic. I remember the wind blowing in the river at that time, which dispelled the heat.
3. Hunan Provincial Museum. From Cambrian to Jurassic, from prehistoric stone age to farming age, the fossils in the window recorded the geological age and the historical period of Chinese civilization. Especially worth mentioning are the gold thread jade clothes and mummy Mrs. Xin Zhui unearthed in Mawangdui, Changsha.
Not long ago, Tomb-Sweeping Day had a holiday, and four of us went to Changsha for two days. I think we still have a say in this issue.
When you go to a place, it's best to have a local person with you, so that you can go to the scenic spots you are satisfied with accurately without detours. On your first day in Changsha, you can go to the famous Guo Jin Street in Changsha, find a hotel near Huangxing Square, put down your luggage and start your journey. Huangxing Square was built in memory of the revolutionary martyr Grandpa Huang Xing. Guo Jin Street and Fire Palace in Changsha are the gathering places of famous snacks in Changsha, such as stinky tofu, sugar oil and pollen.
Speaking of the beautiful scenery of Changsha, I have to mention Orange Island, an island by the river. It was raining lightly on the day I went, and the whole scenery was hazy. I walked to the end of the mainland to visit the statue of Grandpa Mao, and it took me about an afternoon to walk. I didn't feel very tired during the whole tour, because I felt relaxed in this beautiful scenery. The scenery is very good, and it is also suitable for taking pictures. Unfortunately, due to the time error, I didn't see the fireworks show in Orange Island.
In fact, for a poor college student, the original intention of going to Changsha is to see the style of the provincial museum, because the provincial Expo is open to the public without admission fees, and there are many natural people, and the queue is nearly two hours. However, we must believe that all good things are worth waiting for. After visiting the provincial Expo, I am very glad that you came. Friends who want to know about history must not miss this opportunity!
There are still many scenic spots in Changsha, and the journey is very short. There are still many places I haven't arrived, such as the window of the world, but I left my thoughts and look forward to my next trip to Changsha!
When you go to Changsha, the first thing to recommend is Orange Island, where the statue of Chairman Mao can refresh your understanding of the height of the statue. You really can only look at it from a distance.
In addition, I checked that there are fireworks every week in Orange Island. It was a few years ago, but now I don't know if there is any more.
The second place can go to the window of the world. In fact, the window of the world is similar to an amusement park like Happy Valley, but there is a special place here, that is, there is a happy castle where super girls used to live. The pink castle is very beautiful. In the past, it was quite emotional to watch the fast female players sing live in it, but they can only be seen when they are outside.
The third recommended places are Yuelu Mountain and Yuelu Academy. On the way to climb the mountain, you will see a pavilion called "Love Night Pavilion". It is said that Du Mu's poem "Walking in the Mountains" was written here, "Stop and sit in the maple forest late, and the frost leaves are red in February". Is this poem particularly beautiful? If you come in autumn and winter, you will feel that the descriptions in Du Mu's poems are not beautiful. Because there are red maple leaves here in autumn and winter, it's really super beautiful!
In other places, you can go to zoos, museums, memorial halls and other places, which are found in virtually every big city. If you are interested, you can go and see them.
Finally, in fact, the most worthwhile thing in Changsha is to eat. There are many delicious things in Huangxing Pedestrian Street, such as sugar and oil, crayfish and stinky tofu. People who like to eat heavy tastes must not miss it!
There are really no recommended scenic spots, and many places are similar. You can travel, see what scenic spots there are, and then choose where to go according to your interests. There will be introductions of scenic spots and comments from people who have been there.
I didn't feel anything special when I was in Changsha, but it's ok to walk for two days, just sauce.
