The 2020 National Day holiday is 8 days. I took four days to go for a stroll in Changsha, Hunan. Eat, drink and play totaling 2500 yuan. There are three first impressions of Hunan, which are: 1. People from all over the country are here, people everywhere, young people born in the 1990s and 2000s everywhere;2. People have to queue up everywhere to travel that doubts life;3. They are all spicy, and the peppers are so delicious that even if you have a revolution in your stomach, you have to eat them hard;

Planning and implementation

I know the people's enthusiasm for tourism and I also know how extraordinary 2020 is. I know that National Day travel in 2020 is comparable to Spring Festival travel. So I made plans early. I made up my plan to take the train to Hunan. Set a time to grab a train ticket. Even after making preparations a thousand times, the netizens who were robbed of their train tickets were still scared. Set the punctual point to grab tickets, and all the flights you like will be snatched within 1 minute. We can only settle for the next best.

Accommodation

Day1 's B & B: Black Swan

Reasons for choosing: 1. Convenient transportation, it is right in the city center; 2. The B & B focuses on selfie ins style and provides beautiful fairy costumes and headdresses for free photos.

Measured geographical location: 5 stars, opposite Taiping Old Street when you come out of the alley of B & B. It takes a 10-minute walk to Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street. It is an 8-minute walk from Exit 2 of Wuyi Square Station on Metro Line 2; the transportation is very convenient, and Wenheyou is only 2 kilometers away.

Many of the homeowners 'houses are rented out as B & Bs. On the day of check-in, I saw many young couples and girlfriends born in the 1990s carrying big boxes. On the first day of check-in, you need to check in with the security aunt at the door and use the password given by the owner to open the door. There is a room card in the room, so you can swipe your own door card after going out. There are convenience stores and some small shops downstairs, which makes it very convenient to buy drinking water.

The toiletries in the room are quite good. The owner prepared some Japanese and Korean supplies, and the basic little fairies can think of everything they want to use; there are no towels and dental utensils provided in the room, so you need to bring your own! In terms of hygiene, if a fairy with very high requirements for hygiene conditions, she may want to ignore the dust in some corners! After all, B & B hygiene and hotels cannot be equated!

Hotels on Day2: Tongguanyao Xinhualian Lijing Hotel

Reason for choice: Ctrip's preferred group purchase, the original price is 2088 yuan for a superior twin room for 1 night + double morning +2 Tongguan Kiln tickets, the group purchase price is 659 yuan; there is no price increase during the National Day holidays!!!!

There was a decisive vote for the choice of two ancient towns in Changsha!!!! (Place an order directly on the Ctrip app. Just order online and book a hotel. It's super convenient. There are also warm reminders before traveling. Give me a thumbs!)

The hotel is located next to the scenic area and is a 5-minute walk to the hotel. The hotel room overlooks the ancient town. (But our room looked at the river and faced the parking lot. Unfortunately, it rained, otherwise the scenery would be good.)

The area of the room is still very large. If you need to open the balcony, you need to ask the floor attendant to sign a safety responsibility letter! Dry and wet separation in the bathroom. The bathtub is old school.

The hotel is crowded on National Day, with breakfast from 7:00 to 10:30. Even if we get up at 9:30 and go to the restaurant, there are still many people. I heard from the waiter that there were a lot of storms on the 1st to 3rd of National Day, but the number of times we came on the 4th has been slightly reduced. Rice noodles in the restaurant are a must-eat item, but there is no way to beat anything else.

Hotels on Day3: Four Points by Sheraton BBK Hotel

Reason for choice: Marriott member preferred hotel. There is a BBK Mall next to the hotel.

Check-in is very fast. The deposit is 800 yuan. The room can be refunded without consumption. A special ticket can be issued at the store.

Changsha City Center: Wuyi Square

The first ticket to Changsha went to the city center, the most lively and bustling place with the most people, and also the place where you have to queue up for food, drink and fun.

As the first photo to arrive at the city center and step out of the subway station, it is the famous Changsha tea and beautiful color! He also self-righteous recharged 200 yuan to the public account, thinking that two people would definitely be able to spend it within 4 days. But... People's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, and I am destined to go to Changsha again for the balance of my card...

Changsha Guojin Internet celebrities must go to check in: the huge sculpture on the roof. When I arrived at the entrance of the mall and saw the queuing scene, I was shocked. As expected, I had been here after circling the mall and looking for an angle to take a photo. The weather was cloudy and there was no sense of beauty. I looked left and right at the shops lined up everywhere, and I was anxious to eat a meal...

Huangxing Road Food Street is opposite Guojin, just across the road. It feels like the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street in 2000! Found the most popular snack podium on the Internet. It's okay to gather the classics of Changsha. Buy and eat immediately, and all products can be eaten in 5 minutes. As long as you come with your stomach!

Chuyan Xiaoshidai beef

When I walked into the United Nations beef beef, I visited Hunan Satellite TV's Happy Camp many times. So. It is an Internet celebrity restaurant among Internet celebrities that tourists must check in. It's also my nightmare! They queued for 8 hours to eat their food, received the waiting card from 1:30, and waited until 9:30 before eating! More than 400, scary!!!

There are 3 smoke houses near Wuyi Square. One of them is open until 2 a.m. The restaurant we chose was not big. The waiter said that their house had two floors and a total of 15 small tables for two people, 8 tables for four people, and 3 large tables. As the store goalkeeper, I found that the middle and large tables were the fastest to turn over, with an average of up to half an hour. Small table, people are all slow to eat. No rush at all. But it's hard for those waiting for you!

There weren't many main dishes in the era, but two people couldn't try them all. So I chose the popular ones: signature stir-fried pork, garlic vermicelli shrimp, steamed pork ribs with powder, and hand-shredded cabbage.

The sign must be ordered at every table, and the food is served very quickly, almost in seconds. Beef, stone ear, garlic sprouts and pepper. It looks spicy, but it tastes very good. For 10 yuan a barrel of white rice, you can eat all this pot of beef. As a representative dish of Hunan cuisine, it has the confidence of being bullish!

Garlic vermicelli shrimp: Garlic is really fragrant. The shrimp meat is also very big. After rounding it up, it is spread on the garlic paste, and then sprinkled with hot oil. The air is filled with the aroma of garlic and makes people unable to extricate themselves from their good appetite!

I struggled for a long time whether to order this dish, but finally I ordered it. There is dry ice on the table, and it's fairy! The taro is very mushy and slightly sweet. It's the only dish that's not spicy. Cross it to reduce excessive stimulation of the tongue on peppers. I like it very much!

The final bill was 212 yuan. The paper towel and tea room fees are calculated together. Rice is also served by default. Few people can resist not wanting rice. In Hunan, eating is a must, and it is impossible not to eat. The body cannot bear the lightness of not eating rice.

Gan Changshun (Wuyi Square)

I slept until 7 a.m. and got up, thinking that I had to drink powder when I came to Changsha. The noodle shops recommended online are all delicious recommendations. It's really difficult for me! The owner of the B & B recommended the small shop downstairs, saying that it would taste good if you looked for it. I went to Taiping Street to see the scene in the morning. Many shops were not open. Okay...

Walking into the store, you feel like you are entering the living room of Lao Guandu's family. The tables and chairs are all made of wood. You can see the master scalding powder in a row of open areas. Pay the bill and pick up the meal at the call-to-call number, and make your own ingredients and utensils. I ordered chicken fire powder, 23 yuan/bowl.

Chicken fire powder comes standard with chicken fire (chicken soup + ham stew soup) and a bowl of water powder. The chicken soup is very delicious. It's really delicious. When paired with flour, you feel like losing the soul of chicken soup! The soup of clear soup powder is not as delicious as I gat. So even if you add sour beans and dried radishes together, you still feel soso.

Tongguanyao Ancient Town

If you stay in hotels outside the ancient town and B & Bs in the ancient town scenic area, you can get free tickets for the ancient town tour. There is a 24-hour customer service center in the ancient town scenic area. There is a large parking lot at the entrance of the ancient town, and parking is free. Local people in and around Changsha, Hunan Province will drive here for day trips.

It is absolutely possible to spend a day in the ancient town. Very big. The restaurants in the scenic area also have a certain scale, and there is also a snack street. All the scenery is very suitable for taking photos in Han clothes, and the photo release rate is extremely high. Rent Hanfu for 200 yuan a day, including hairstyle. (The deposit is 500 yuan, which will be deducted if it is returned overtime.) According to the owner of Hanfu Store, all the clothes in the store are borrowed during the good weather on National Day.

I didn't eat at the restaurant in the ancient town, but after looking at the price list, it was still quite affordable. It's not an inflated price. Some restaurants are still on the lake, which has a good view during the day. After turning on the lights in the scenic area at night, the feeling is different from during the day, and there is also a water curtain fireworks display. There are performances in several venues. You still have to rely on SLR to take photos at night

Small shops in Guzhen usually open until 20:30 and start making samples. There are also some shops that open late. We strolled until 20 o'clock to return to the hotel. Since the rainy days are a little chilly, I am going to have some snacks to warm up.

Tongguanyao Ancient Town Snacks

1. Wild vegetable cake

2. Sweet wine

Sweet wine brewed, you can't move your pace when you see it. I saw food that was still an intangible cultural heritage. Then you must have a bowl!

3. Crispy small wontons

Small wontons are my favorite, and crispy swallow skin is also my favorite. So you must order one for the 15 yuan/bowl.

The owner now makes freshly cooked wontons, which are not big and look like a ingot. The owner said that their wonton skins are also meat skins. The soup that looks like a clear soup is shaved with peppers and fresh chili powder, which is comparable to Shanghai's firewood wontons!

4. Thirteen Fragrance Stewed Flavors

Originally, I just wanted to buy a duck neck and eat it at the hotel, so I could eat it while chasing the drama. I didn't want the owner here to recommend herself and say that her marinade is a thousand-year-old secret recipe. Wow, so powerful!

I bought duck value, duck wings, and duck feet and returned to the hotel. Unexpectedly, the taste of 13 incense really absorbs the soul. The stamina is too light to bear!

Huo gongdian

As a restaurant next to the scenic spot, the area is quite large. Most guests staying in nearby hotels for vacations choose to eat at their homes. After all, this name sounds like a time-honored local brand in Changsha!

The Fire Palace is located 500 meters away on the right hand side of the Lijing Hotel. On the outside. The store is still very big. It has 2 floors. Most of them are large tables. It should mainly receive tourists during the peak period!

After looking at the menu, you can eat basically all well-known Hunan dishes here. It depends on what you want to eat. The charge for rice and tea is 3 yuan/person;

I just ordered 4 dishes, 1 soup and 1 snack. The final bill was 193 yuan.

When making the strategy, some netizens recommended going to the Huo Palace in the center of Changsha City. You should taste the stinky tofu of the Huo Palace. Eat it and make it wetter than Wen Heyou. The stench is okay. Personally, I still think that Wen Heyou's stinky tofu is better.

Sugar and oil cake: glutinous rice, dipped in white sugar, I like it very much. 15 yuan each for 4. Delicious!

BBK meixi Xintiandi

When I first made the strategy, I chose him just because I wanted to be lazy on the last day. Find a hotel within 2 kilometers of the mall so that shopping, eating and resting will not be delayed. I heard from the taxi driver that it was the largest shopping mall in Hexi. Well, it's still very popular! There are two tea shops in the mall. Mini programs have to wait 50 minutes to order before you can pick up your meal. So hot!

There are 2 tea restaurants in the mall. On the third floor is the store with seats to rest. The environment is quite cozy. You can blow on the air conditioner while waiting for tea. There is also a counter on the first underground floor. In the aisle, it is quite cold to queue up for meals.

I walked around in circles. The restaurants that decided on the third day for lunch and dinner: Chef Fei and Lao Jie Yuzui. I still want to eat Changsha local brands! Due to the lunch queue for half an hour, it was already 3:30 after eating. After eating and waiting for milk tea, I returned to the hotel after 5:00. After 19:30, I was not happy to leave the hotel, so I ordered Yuzui takeout from Old Street.

Signature main feature: Old Street Fish Mouth. 88 yuan/serving. Recommend five stars and 2 peppers. Only 1 serving of fish mouth can be made for every 100 kilograms of fish. Secret seasoning. My mouth is swollen from the spicy food and I can't stop chewing. (Isn't 2 peppers slightly spicy? Well, it's medium spicy in Shanghai!)

Green pepper and perilla frog: 69 yuan; recommended 2 stars, 2 stars for spiciousness. (I like eating frogs bigger than crayfish.) The amount is still very sincere. The frog is not very big, but the slices are cut into relatively small pieces. Each piece is very delicious and has endless aftertaste.

Chef Fei fried pork with chili pepper

I don't know if Chef Fei's fame is famous in Hunan, but their family's advertisements have large advertisements in the subway exit channels. This is the first brand to have its eyes washed after arriving in Changsha. I also remember it. I still arranged for someone who has a hobby for stir-fried meat!

The meat fried with chili is pork. The store's extra name is: a store that only uses chefs to cook. And the signature chili fried pork must be ordered at every table. Last week, the former waitress would introduce it loudly, with pride in her voice. (The Hunan girls in the store are all good-looking and lively! An eye-catching natural girl!)

The best match for stir-fried pork with chili is actually the white rice in the store. A small rice cooker is standard next to each table. 3 yuan/person for meals. I didn't want to eat at first, and was seduced by fried pork with chili peppers. I cooked 3 bowls of rice hard!

The aunt and waiter at the next table said how delicious their rice was! The waiter replied that their rice was good except for good rice. There are special cooking methods and ratios for cooking. I made Japanese rice in my brain.

The pork is fried very tender and has a very appetizing aroma. Chili peppers look spicy, but they don't feel spicy to eat. Completely conquered!

I thought vegetables were not spicy. When I came up and saw the strong spicy taste of pepper and garlic. The lettuce is very crisp, and this dish made me cook a second bowl of white rice.

The Chopping Pepper Fish Head that was longing for didn't have the opportunity to pull weeds, so I ordered it at their home. But not enough to amaze me! It's quite ordinary, and it's my tooth sacrifice dish.

The little waitress saw that I was very happy when I was being spicy, so she gave me a popsicle very friendly and said that this was a magic weapon for removing spicy food! Still free! Well, unique enjoyment of old popsicles. Like it ~~~ The final consumption totaled 145 yuan.

Changsha South Railway Station

According to the taxi driver, Changsha South Railway Station is actually a high-speed rail station. It is relatively close to Xiangtan Airport. Belonging to the same direction. Changsha South Railway Station feels about the same size as Hongqiao Railway Station. There are 6 tea and beauty restaurants in the railway station. Although he arrived at the station more than 2 hours early, he still didn't have time to buy milk tea and get on the high-speed train. There are just too many people. At least a 30-minute reservation period after payment is required.

The catering on both sides of the departure floor of the high-speed rail is the same. So, come to Maojia Restaurant for your last meal before leaving. Restaurants on the high-speed rail appear in the form of fast food. Small buffet. To be honest, tomato scrambled eggs are the best. My Shanghai stomach!

written in the end

My deepest impression of Changsha is that there is a queue everywhere! The queue was almost a fear. For the first time in my life, waiting in line for eight hours for a meal was also given to the city of Changsha.

The second impression is: spicy. There is no spicy food without joy. Basically, all the dishes sold in restaurants are spicy except white rice. Only Pizza Hut, KFC, McDonald's and Burger King can order takeout without spicy food.

Ask me if I will go to Changsha again? The answer has to go again! Because there are still several shops that want to eat and haven't gone to eat. Because the 200 yuan charged by Cha Yan Yuese still has a balance of more than 70 yuan that is useless!

Maybe next time I go to a cultural or scene place to check in, but it cannot be a national holiday. CCTV has named four of the top 10 tourist queues across the country. Changsha ranks third!
