Before coming to Changsha, the first thing I wanted was not to make travel guides, but to consider what it was. This is probably the greatest respect for the name foodie. Stinky tofu, crayfish, roasted sausage, glutinous rice cake, I want to eat them all.

The trip lasted for 5 days. Due to the limited time, we rented a lead car from Yihi Car Rental. The cost is not high, only about 150 a day. Because there are four people traveling together, each person is more than 30. Think about it carefully, changing buses every day and taking a taxi is not much cheaper than self-driving. The main point is that it still wastes time.

Tips: Be sure to place an order in advance. Not only will the price be more favorable, but the range of models you can choose from will also be wider. Yihi's car rental store is right next to the high-speed rail station, making it very convenient to pick up the car.

Eat at night in Changsha

Here comes IFS, giant pandas in Chengdu City, koalas in Changsha. Anyway, IFS must have an animal as its symbol. There are also many people taking photos with koalas.

I went to Huangxing Square and there were many people. Stir fried beef with cooking smoke is very famous. It is written at the bottom of "Hunan Cuisine Designated by Chinese Restaurants", but I didn't watch this variety show. I have a question, wasn't the variety show recorded in Wuhan? If it only required this dish inside and then wrote "Chinese Restaurant"... it would be a nuisance.

Wen Heyou, Lao Changsha Stinky Tofu, who has been queuing up

After walking around here, people are basically full. Along the way, I wanted to eat and eat. For example, Wenheyou stinky tofu. It smells bad, but it tastes really good.

We originally wanted to go to Wenheyou (Hisense Store) to eat crayfish, but after taking a look, we found that there were too many people and felt that we would have to queue for a long time, so we gave up.

The construction here is just like the 1970s and 1980s. My best friend said that modern people's lives are so good, and they still often make memories of their sufferings. Hehe.

It's really nice to take pictures here. A casual photo will give you the feeling of the Republic of China. In fact, think about it, today's photos will become a memory for many years to come, because most people are covered in the mirror.

The beauty of a prosperous metropolis

On this day, we arranged more trips. First I went to Hunan University, and then I went to Yuelu Mountain. Go to Orange Island for a stroll in the evening.

Before coming here, I just thought of "Happy Camp" and Yuelu Mountain, and later remembered that this is Changsha. During the Mao Zedong era, many leaders were from Changsha. Therefore, you can see the former residences of many leaders, former schools, etc. here. Therefore, this is also a cultural attraction.

I went to Hunan University, but did not stay there for long. The university has not yet started, and there are not many people in the school. For us, it would be nice to go in and have a look. It seems that our school still doesn't allow outsiders to enter.

I came out of Hunan University and started eating. Yang Yuxing's noodle shop tastes good. In the north, flour is rarely eaten, basically all kinds of noodles. Unexpectedly, the flour was still quite delicious.

After that, we set out to Yuelu Mountain. I originally thought that during the epidemic, there might be relatively few people. I was still careless, there were not many people at all, and I took a super long team.

Changsha is very hot in August. Although there are many trees on Yuelu Mountain, you can still feel the heat.

The scenic area is actually very modern. If you look at their road signs, it is very fashionable.

The hot air balloon can be used as a background for taking photos and is also quite nice.

There are also many people hanging concentric locks here. The four of us girls also hung the lock, but it still felt quite weird.

I played in Yuelu Mountain for more than three hours in total. I was not very tired, but the weather was too hot and I couldn't stand it.

When I returned to my car from the mountain and blew into the air conditioner, I wanted to sigh: Ah, life. In the summer, there are always many opportunities to thank the air conditioner.

After going down the mountain, continue to eat stinky tofu. There are also many people queuing up for the black classic Changsha stinky tofu.

Stinky tofu and sausage are both good.

Because these two are famous foods in Changsha, you can encounter many such shops along the way.

I went back to the hotel to rest for a while, and then drove to Orange Island. Adults must buy tickets themselves, just scan the code to buy tickets. I checked and found that only children and elderly tickets are currently on sale at the window.

It is very interesting to take a small train in the scenic area. 20 yuan round trip. It's especially beautiful. I came to Orange Island to take this photo.

In the evening, you can go to Juzizhou Head to see the river view. If you have enough budget, you can also go on a cruise ship. It seems that the cost is relatively high, more than 200 yuan, I don't remember. Standing by the river and watching the night view is also good.

I drove to Taiping Old Street and Pozi Street in the evening. These two places are very lively and crowded. I personally think that for outsiders, if they want to eat as much Changsha food as possible, they still have to come here.

Sister Si Flour Shop is said to be very famous, but I didn't go in.

There is also a souvenir shop here. As I walked, I felt like I had arrived in Hong Kong.

tall| Looking for art that you don't understand

The art journey began on the third day. I visited art museums, art galleries. Finally, I went to visit Ikea.

Xie Zilong's video ticket and student ID card are half price, which feels like saving a lot of money. The weather was super good on this day, with blue skies and white clouds, which were extremely beautiful.

In front of the image museum is a super large lake with black swans on the lake. Black Swan, this place is very comfortable to look at. There are some locals with their children picnicking here and playing on the lawn. It's so meaningful.

The art museum is filled with the feeling of "I feel good, but I don't know why it is good".

You can see the appearance of old Changsha here. Traveling in several cities, almost every city has such exhibition halls, and the photos inside show the changes in the city. Overall, Changsha is more prosperous at the same time.

After that, I went to see Li Zijian's exhibition. The photos are particularly vivid. Tickets are not required for the exhibition, so make an appointment.

I really admire these people who paint so much. They are so beautiful when they are drawn.

I just went in and saw the painting of "Nanjing Massacre". It was really shocking. Because of this, I didn't dare to take pictures. The details of the painting are handled extremely well. I admire people who can draw.

Look at how kind this old lady is. In fact, there is not only one photo, there are multiple actions. I love this group of photos. A single picture is also good, but when multiple photos of different movements are put together, it feels more agile and the characters are more three-dimensional.

The last stop was Ikea. I didn't spend a long time in Ikea. We didn't eat near the art museum, but drove directly to Ikea, which has a restaurant that tasted good and recommended it.

Eat-themed travel

We went to Hunan Museum, Kaifu Temple and so on. On-site ticket purchase at Kaifu Temple requires cash, but scanning the code cannot be used.

Tickets are not expensive, 10 yuan.

Immediately after coming out of the temple, I went to the Hunan Province Museum.

The Provincial Expo is definitely a big attraction. Be sure to come here. We spent two or three hours in the museum. During this period, I took a lot of photos and had time to write a special guide for the museum.
