Write it in front:

In fact, you will not see a guide, but more likely it will be my personal travel notes in Changsha, which may contain a lot of my complaints about the journey, because writing too serious a guide seems to reflect the various experiences and thoughts that this short journey brought me, and I didn't intend to simply write a guide. But then again, it seems that I didn't plan to write this article at the beginning, so that I didn't even have a few decent photos when looking for pictures.

In fact, the decision to go to the city of Changsha was a quite accidental decision. The reason was just that we had a casual chat with friends. We were in different provinces. It would be better to find a time to choose a city to play together, meet and get together, and discuss. Changsha became the ultimate destination. The impression Changsha gave me before was probably that I couldn't live without the word Internet celebrity. I ate spicy dishes, drank milk tea, and chased stars. After coming back from a trip, I still felt that Changsha was an interesting city. If I had the opportunity in the future, I would also consider visiting this city again.

Changsha is a city that is more suitable for traveling with friends. It's not that traveling alone cannot be done, but the travel experience with someone will be better. Especially when shopping in the central area radiating from Wuyi Square, the difference between one person and two people is quite big. There is also a queue to buy various foods, buy milk tea, wait for a place to eat, etc. It's always good to have someone to chat with you. Of course, this is just a suggestion. Because the experience of traveling to Changsha for two people this time was still very good, but it was a bit time-consuming. (The average daily speed of 30,000 steps is really beyond my fat house)

Okay, that's enough nonsense. Now let's officially introduce my Changsha trip.

Clothing:

I went to Changsha in mid-March. For the past half month, my friends and I had been paying attention to the weather in Changsha. The weather in Changsha is really changeable. We witnessed the strange changes in the weather on the date we arrived. Therefore, if you have the conditions to go to Changsha during this season, it is recommended to bring all kinds of equipment, such as umbrellas, scarves, etc., and pay attention to the weather changes in Changsha. There were a few days when I saw that the temperature was only about ten degrees and it was still raining. According to my personal habit, the clothes I wore were probably enough for a coat, a sweater and a bottom coat. However, after we went there, we found that Changsha was unexpectedly sunny and even a little hot. The thick clothes I brought over were not in use. However, the weather in Changsha was still cool in the morning and evening, and I still felt a little chilly after the wind rose at night. But to quote what my friend said, I don't have to bring enough clothes. I can buy them in Changsha anyway. For a moment, I actually felt that it made sense. After all, we were shopping every day.

Food:

Eating is probably a major event in Changsha. It is probably an important reason why many people come to Changsha. Let me introduce what I have eaten in Changsha. However, because my personal requirements for eating are quite Buddhist, I was surprised to find out that many snacks had not been eaten.

If you are eating in Changsha, if you are going to some Internet celebrity brands (like us), remember to get your number in advance. It would be best to get your number online, otherwise you can really wait for lunch to afternoon tea and dinner to late night snack. So when you have been shopping for almost a long time, you will remember to think about getting your number for dinner.

The price of eating in Changsha is very friendly to the people, which surprised me. The consumption is not even as high as the city where I live. As a tourist city, I always thought that eating and drinking would be a big expense.

Tea Yan Yue:It is estimated that few people have not heard of this sign. In Changsha, or to be precise, in Wuyi Square and other places with dense crowds, you will be surprised to find that tea is everywhere. The most exaggerated time was that we found four tea houses with pleasant colors within a radius of 100 meters. What was more ridiculous was that all four shops were filled with people. But then again, tea color is really delicious. However, my cultural level is limited. I can't think of any other words other than delicious for the time being. The overall feeling is that tea color gives me the feeling and emphasizes the taste of tea. Although it also adds cream nuts and something, the combination of ingredients and tea is also an appropriate benefit, but it will taste like sugar water. Originally, I personally preferred milk tea with more tea flavor (such as Hong Kong-style milk tea). In short, if you don't know the color of tea, if you see these four words in Changsha, you will just go and buy a cup. People queuing up for tea and beautiful color are very concerned about fate. The time and time are more and less, and waiting for half an hour at most is not big news. (By the way, I complained about the Gaode map. Once the navigation took us to a tea house that had not yet opened. I would like to remind everyone to be cautious when using the Gaode map)

One lamp:This can be regarded as a famous brand in Changsha. The main food is some stir-fried food, which is mainly spicy, especially for southerners like us who are not good at spicy food. The spiciness of a lamp is S-level. In the impression that we ordered a stir-fried beef, but there seemed to be no spicy on the menu. As a result, the more we ate, the more spicy it became, and in the end, it became really spicy. However, Yidian's pork mixed flour is quite delicious and cheap. The biggest gain from Yi Dian Deng was that it was a perfect match to eat spicy food and drink Fat House Happy Water. No wonder we saw so many people having cola on their tables as soon as we entered the store. By the way, there are a lot of people queuing up for Yi Dian, but the booking is also very fast. Overall, this restaurant is the fastest one for us to eat in Changsha, but it is really a bit spicy. If you can't eat spicy food, please consider it carefully.

Chef Fei:Compared with the previous one, this family is at least much friendlier in terms of spiciness, and the portions of the dishes are slightly more than Yi Dian. As people who are not very particular about eating, they can't tell the difference in taste between the two families. However, I feel that Chef Fei's rice is better, and the clerk will also give you a popsicle after the meal. This is quite interesting service. Chef Fei has a super large number of people in line. Although the number of shops seems to be slightly more than a lamp, please make a reasonable choice.

Below is a familyJapanese restaurant, maybe it's because my friends and I more or less like something about Japanese culture, so it's rare to get together. We also had dinner at the Japanese food shop. It was this dinner. The queue was so close that we almost waited for dinner. Late night. The Japanese food store we went to was calledtoromak's daily food store, also near Wuyi Square, the main food is sushi. The bgm in the restaurant likes to play various popular Japanese songs, with a few light music in the middle. What I really want to complain about is that the queue was really long. We picked up the number at 6 o'clock and waited until around 7:30 before entering the store. We even went to a nearby mall and went to Starbucks for a ride. Ten minutes. But then again, the sushi in this restaurant is still very good, and it is indeed better than the sushi you eat in other Japanese restaurants. Japanese food enthusiasts can consider coming here to give it a try.

Yaozi Barbecue:This restaurant was the first meal I had with my friends when I went to Changsha. Overall, it felt reasonable. It was not too bad, but it was not too delicious. It was about the level of an ordinary rotisserie, but the price was cheaper than I ate in my own city. We went to the shop on Taiping Street. The first floor was still under renovation. At first, we didn't even know it was a barbecue shop. What impressed me most about this store is not how delicious the barbecues are, but the ordering system is very interesting. This system can automatically match your WeChat language. Using the English version of WeChat, I found that it is an almost all-British ordering system. Maybe it thinks I am a foreigner, and you can even learn English words while ordering food in Changsha. This store can get accounts on WeChat, and the calling speed doesn't feel too fast.

Powder:This is another thing that I find it difficult to tell the difference, but I prefer to eat noodles. I eat noodles for breakfast in Changsha, but I really can't tell the difference between different shops, and I don't make recommendations here. However, Changsha's noodles seem to be very famous, and there are also many shops that eat noodles. There are shops of large and small, in Wuyi Square, or in some other business district living areas. There must be places where people can eat noodles. Eating a bowl of noodles in Changsha is also a good choice.

Finally, there are some things that I haven't eaten but are also famous online, such asCrayfish, stinky tofu, and roasted sausage.Crayfish is most famous for Wenheyou Bar, and stinky tofu is also a very common snack. The black classic that everyone often talks about is one of the famous brands. In fact, you can basically see these snacks on the pedestrian streets of Changsha, so you don't need to deliberately find something to eat, because food is everywhere.

Live:

After choosing a place to stay with my friends for a long time, I was a little surprised and didn't choose to stay at a hotel near Wuyi Square. We stayed at Lavande Hotel (Furong Plaza Store), and the price was 200+ per night, which was about 100 cheaper than hotels near Wuyi Square. This hotel is about 10 minutes walking distance from Furong Square Subway Station. It is not too far. It is also quite convenient to visit Wuyi Square, Hunan Province Museum and other attractions. I stayed here for two nights. Overall, the experience was okay. The only drawback was that the sound insulation was poor. In case you are unlucky like me to meet a neighbor who is still talking loudly at one or two in the morning, in addition to being able to clearly hear everything the other person said, you can only pray that you can suddenly fall asleep. However, I reported the situation to the hotel the next day and the hotel quickly changed my room. The hotel room felt a little stuffy, maybe I forgot to turn on the air purifier or something (there was one such machine there anyway). The hotel's supporting facilities are also relatively complete. The buffet breakfast is only 28 yuan, which makes me feel very cheap. One reminder is that this hotel is located in an office building and shares an elevator with the office building. It is best to take the elevator dedicated to the high-rise (the hotel is located on the 29th-31st floors), and the front desk is located on the first floor. There was also an incident when I had just arrived in Changsha and got out of the subway station to go to the hotel. As a result, a German map guided me to the back door of the hotel, reminding everyone to be careful when choosing navigation when going out.

Line:

For friends in Guangdong, most people go to Changsha by high-speed rail or something. But this time I found that the price of air tickets seemed to be a little cheaper than the high-speed rail, so I chose to travel by plane. It takes about an hour for the plane to arrive in Changsha, but the airport is relatively far away from the city of Changsha. After getting off the plane, if you choose public transportation, first of all you need to walk to the Maglev Airport Station and take the Maglev train to Changsha South Railway Station. This section takes about 40 minutes, but I can't remember it clearly because I fell asleep halfway through. I was really tired to get up early in the morning to catch the plane. Changsha Railway Station or Changsha South Railway Station is estimated to be the arrival point for more people. The terminal station of the maglev is at Changsha South Railway Station. It seems to cost 18 yuan or 14 yuan from the airport to Changsha South Railway Station. If you have done your homework, you can easily buy your first cup of tea Yanyue in Changsha here. However, although there are four tea Yanyue in South Changsha, they are all super crowded. After getting off the maglev, you can follow the signs to find Changsha South Metro Station. The South Station seems to be on Line 2. Furong Square and Wuyi Square are also on Line 2. From here, you can go directly to the city and go to your destination. In addition, taking subway and bus in Changsha can be done using the app, which is quite user-friendly.

Attractions:

Let's talk about the places I visited below. To be ashamed, it seems that the entire trip to Changsha seemed to be chatting with friends and blowing water, but ignored taking photos, so that now I can't find anyone who wants to add a few better photos. If you don't find the text boring, keep reading.

May Day Square:

In fact, strictly speaking, this is a large scope. Here, I just classify some of the pedestrian streets I have visited, because many people will recommend various pedestrian streets, Taiping Street, Pozi Street, Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street, etc. In fact, during the three-day trip to Changsha, we basically visited these places. The biggest feeling here is that it is prosperous. You can also see all kinds of brands you have heard of or even haven't heard of. Here, I was also surprised to see a Turkish uncle who didn't give ice cream properly. In short, this is a good place to stroll around while drinking tea and looking happy, thinking about what snacks to eat.

IFS Center:

At first, I was anxious about English and thought about what the full name of IFS was. Compared with the pedestrian street near Wuyi Square, this place will appear to be a higher class. Of course, shopping here is secondary. Everyone's main purpose is probably to go to the top floor to see the KAWS sculptures.(I only knew this word on Baidu...), saying that I didn't study why these two things appeared on the top floor here, but I thought it was a place to check in. On the top floor, you can see many high-end hotels and nightclubs nearby. It's also a very good experience to overlook the night view of Changsha Crossroads. By the way, there are several intersections mentioned near the IFS that look a little like the intersection opposite Shibuya 107 in Tokyo. A zebra crossing is also painted on the diagonal of the intersection. It is also a very spectacular scene for people from all directions crossing the road at the same time.

Hunan Province Museum:

In addition to the above two well-known attractions, the museum is a place that my friend highly recommends. The first thing to remember to go to the museum is to make an appointment in advance. There is a restriction every day. I don't know if the number of places will be tight during the peak season, so it's best to register and make an appointment on the official website one or two days before going. The appointment is free. Unless there is an option to add additional tickets, it will usually be seen when confirming the information (official website reservation address: ). In fact, it was indeed the case. We entered the museum a little after 9 o'clock and finally finished shopping around 12 o'clock. Of course, we visited all the exhibition halls completely, although many of the collections on display were not understood... Overall, we still felt a lot of cultural impact. Everyone must have heard of the various unearthed cultural relics from the Mawangdui Han Tomb are on display. By looking at the display of the Mawangdui Han Tomb, you can really get a little understanding of what the life of rich people in ancient times was like. If you are not interested in other exhibition halls, don't miss the exhibition hall about the Han Tomb at Mawangdui. There is a bus stop in front of the Provincial Museum, making travel very convenient.

Orange Island:

This is actually the first scenic spot we visited after arriving in Changsha, mainly to admire Chairman Mao's style and re-experience Juzizhou, which made great men sigh "Who rules the ups and downs". It can be reached by subway. There is Juzizhou Station on Metro Line 2. You can just leave the station here. Overall, the environment in Juzizhou is really good. If you don't take a small train to enter, you don't need a ticket. In addition, you can remind me that tickets for small trains can be purchased inside and from self-service ticket vending machines. You don't need to queue up at the ticket gate in front of the door. The small train circles Juzizhou, and you can get off at every stop. Of course, it's not a big problem for you to choose to walk. I personally feel that it's more suitable for riding a bicycle or going for a walk at night. Of course, if the sun is not strong during the day, it's okay. I just started a wild journey in Changsha here with my friends. When you're done shopping, you can find a house near the exit where postcards are received. The only recognizable part of the house is the mailbox in front of the door. Postcards are free, only one ticket can be obtained, and there are nine seals in the house. It's a ritual feeling of visiting here. Anyway, when I was writing this travel note, I hadn't sent my postcard home yet... This efficiency is really not flattering.

Yuelu Mountain:

This is our last stop in Changsha. We can still take Line 2 to Qiwan Town Station to reach the vicinity of Yuelu Mountain. We had breakfast nearby before going up the mountain. In fact, it takes a long time to walk around here carefully, but we had to rush back in the afternoon and were still thinking about lunch, so we returned around 10:30 in the morning. We went up the mountain at about 9 o'clock in the morning. There is also no need for tickets to walk up and down the mountain, but we have to scan the code and make an appointment first. It is recommended that you make an appointment in advance before going to the queue. Don't start scanning the code until you reach the entrance, which will delay everyone's time. You can take the cable car when you go up and down the mountain. We go down the mountain by taking the cable car. It's quite comfortable to talk about reason. It's also excellent to sit and see the scenery on the mountain. You can also consider skating down the mountain, similar to a go-kart, but the car should be much lighter. The scenery of Yuelu Mountain is also very good. We can bird's eye view of Changsha. When we went down the mountain, we noticed that there were too many people partying up the mountain near noon. This really surprised us. If you want to avoid the flow of people, we should get up early. Maybe 11 a.m. is the beginning of Changsha as a tourist city.

Super Wenhe Friends:

(This place was only after I finished writing the full text before I realized that it had been omitted...) In fact, this is a chain brand, which also contains various small shops for eating and various snacks. However, the most famous one is definitely crayfish, but we are not very interested in crayfish. This time we simply went to Wenheyou in Hisense Square to check out a card. The decoration here is actually a retro style, similar to the feeling of the 8090s. You can see all kinds of young ladies posing for photos and various modern shops "mixed in" because there are many store names and small advertisements made by "prop groups", so sometimes you don't know which stores are real and which are fictional. Overall, it's quite interesting to stroll around here. For a moment, it really feels like traveling through. If you are considering eating here, remember to arrive early. We arrived around 4 p.m. at that time. There were not many people there. We didn't see the images of such locations being rumored on the Internet, but it's better to come here to eat early. We walked all the way to the seventh floor (top floor) and returned to the real world at the exit on the seventh floor. Finally, I waited for half an hour on the seventh floor and bought a cup of tea.

Write at the end:

In fact, I wrote a lot of things I wanted to say in front. Finally, I would like to thank my friends who traveled with me. I would like to thank you for listening to my endless blowing water all the way. Traveling together also added many interesting memories to this trip to Changsha. Changsha is indeed a lively city, noisy and prosperous (housing prices are cheap, which makes me really envious of). I hope that if you read here patiently, you will also have the opportunity to meet friends, experience it, or experience the charm of this city again.
