I used to want to go to Changsha maybe because of the influence of Hunan Satellite TV, but now I still want to go to Changsha. I think it must be influenced by the delicious food. Changsha is the source of the stinky tofu that fills the major snack streets across the country. The pleasant tea that can only be drunk in Changsha has attracted me, a sweet drink enthusiast. Although I can't avoid congestion during holidays, I don't have many opportunities for long vacations a year. This time, the whole family went to Changsha together

traffic arrangements

To: Take the train from Beijing to Changsha

Return: Changsha flies to Beijing

Tour: Yihi Car Rental Platform rents a car and drives yourself. Self-driving during holidays is not as crowded as imagined. On the contrary, it will be more convenient. Taking the elderly and children with you, it is also necessary to have a car. It will be very tiring for the elderly and children to go wild for a day. I have also rented a car and driven yourself before, and I trust Yihi platform. The price is not expensive. The car has good performance, is very clean, and is very cost-effective. It is still very recommended

accommodation arrangements

The entire journey to Home Inns is not an advertisement for Home Inns. I am really used to staying there and I don't want to choose another hotel. The express hotel has the right price and the environment is acceptable. It is a better choice for us. Of course, there are also many B & Bs and star hotels in Changsha. Remember to book in advance during holidays. The price we booked a week in advance has already increased a lot

At Changsha Railway Station in the morning, I didn't leave until the third day of the holiday, but the passenger flow was still quite high. I picked up the train at a service point near the station and started today's trip

Yuelu mountain Scenic Area

The first stop is Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area. The Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area includes many small attractions. The ones that everyone is familiar with are Aiwan Pavilion, Yuelu Academy, etc. When we arrived, we had to queue up to enter. When we went out during the holidays, we needed patience everywhere we went.

The crowd waiting for the cableway and sightseeing bus suddenly gave up when they saw this scene. They almost walked to the top of the mountain while waiting for the bus. After stopping and walking, the whole family reached the top of the mountain in more than an hour without being very tired

Aiwan Pavilion, built in the Qianlong period, is more famous than Aiwan Pavilion for the sentence "Parking and sitting, Aiwan Forest at night, frost leaves are redder than February flowers." The name Aiwan Pavilion was later renamed based on this poem

Yuelu Academy is actually located in Hunan University. Tickets are purchased separately from Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area. Yuelu Academy is one of the four major academies in ancient China. Those with children must come here to experience the cultural atmosphere.

Hunan University

From Yuelu Academy is Hunan University. The statue of Chairman Mao on Dongfanghong Square is very conspicuous. It is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Seeing the statue of a great man of a generation, everyone still has deep feelings

The campus of Hunan University is very large and an open campus. Many tourists come here during the holidays. We just took a casual stroll without checking in. Hunan University is a century-old school with a long history. Both the architecture and the overall design are very historical. It has a historical charm

After visiting Hunan University, I decided to go back to the hotel to rest for a while. On the way, I drank my first cup of tea and looked beautiful. The price was more affordable than many Internet celebrity teas. It was just that there were really too many people in line, and it took more than half an hour to buy it.

Changsha Bamboo Slips Museum

Today's main itinerary is still in the urban area. Come to visit the Bamboo Slips Museum in the morning and check in. It is relatively small here, but it is the only bamboo Slips Museum in my country.

Here you can admire ancient bamboo slips, mainly from the Three Kingdoms Period and the Western Han Dynasty. There are also some Qin bamboo slips, which are quite old

The volunteer guides in the museum are really confused if they don't listen to the explanation

There are some model exhibitions on the second floor. The exhibits here are not just bamboo slips

Du Fu Jiangge

Coming out of the museum to continue the ancient culture, Dufujiang Pavilion is actually more ornamental. The view of Xiangjiang River is on the observation deck on the fourth floor of the attic. This is also the perfect location to enjoy the fireworks of Juzizhou.

In addition to viewing the scenery, there are many introductions about Du Fu and Changsha historical and cultural celebrities in the hall

You can also see Changsha's IFS in Jiangge, which is the tallest building in Changsha. Does it feel close to each other?

orange Island Scenic Area

The next stop is Juzizhou Scenic Area. The popularity of Juzizhou originated from Mao Zedong's song "Qinyuanchun·Changsha". The current Juzizhou Scenic Area has become a symbol of Changsha

The statue of Mao Zedong in his youth is a symbol of Juzizhou

The Mao Zedong Sculpture Exhibition Hall needs to exchange your ID card for free tickets to enter. Security checks are strict and water cannot be brought in, but there is a bag storage place at the ticket exchange place.

Taiping Street

Taiping Street is Changsha's thousand-year old street. Whether it is a thousand-year old street or a century-old street, it will eventually become a snack street...

Taiping Old Street during the holiday... It was really crowded. We didn't even finish walking and slipped back to the hotel, preparing to go to Huo Palace in the evening.

Huo gongdian

Huo Palace is also a snack street in Changsha. There are many time-honored brands and Changsha specialty snacks gathered here. Walking there until you eat until you come out with your hands on the wall

huaminglou

Today is a red trip and a day out of the city. Today's trip is the most convenient for self-driving. Or we can sign up for a one-day tour. It's wiser for us to rent a car and drive. The first stop is Huaming Tower, which is Liu Shaoqi's hometown.

You can visit the former residence and memorial hall here. There are obviously fewer tourists than in the urban area, but I think it is very educational. Both for children and for us adults, we can learn more about the stories.

former residence of Mao Zedong

The next stop is Mao Zedong's former residence in Shaoshan, which is more than 30 kilometers away from Liu Shaoqi's former residence. There are full of tourists here, and the queue lasted nearly two hours just to change tickets. I am really scared to go out during the holidays...

Coming out from the back door is Chairman Mao's rice field, which is still growing now, restoring the former residence to a high degree.

The bronze statue of Mao Zedong Square, which is 10.1 high with the base, symbolizes the day when the People's Republic of China was founded

waterfall

Dishui Cave Scenic Area is also the place where Chairman Mao once lived. You need to buy tickets here. After walking for more than ten minutes, you can really see Dishui Cave. I thought it was a cave, but it was not.

The main thing we visited was Building 1, which was where Chairman Mao lived and worked

In the afternoon, I returned to the city and bought stinky tofu. There are many stinky tofu sellers in Changsha, but the brands are different and the taste is also different. Today, we ate Wen Heyou. His family is most famous for not stinky tofu but crayfish

Today is the last day of travel, and it is also a leisurely day. I sleep in and don't leave until after nine o'clock

Changsha Library

The library I came here today is a new one. It has rich books and a sense of design. There are not many people in the library, so it is rare to relax.

Changsha Planning Exhibition Hall

The Changsha Planning Exhibition Hall not only allows a better understanding of Changsha's development history, but also uses videos, explanations and other popular knowledge to gain a lot of knowledge. It is still very recommended. It has a strong sense of technology and does not charge tickets

The last stop is Tea Yanyue! I haven't drunk a lot these days, mainly because I don't want to queue up. The taste is actually not that amazing, but its name and packaging are deep in my heart. As an Internet celebrity product, the price is really a conscience price. In short, it's recommended and recommended. After drinking it, I packed a few cups and prepared to drink it on the way back. After all, I couldn't drink it after leaving Changsha.
