As one of Changsha's tourist landmarks, it is a must-see attraction when visiting Changsha.

Juzizhou is an impact sandbar in the Xiangjiang River. It is surrounded by water and stretches for dozens of miles. It is a national key scenic spot. Chairman Mao once wrote the poem "Independent Cold Autumn, Xiangjiang River Goes North, Juzizhou Head."

In Juzizhou, you can take a small train or walk to the head of Juzizhou, admire the statue of Chairman Mao and take a photo with the statue of Chairman Mao. You can have a panoramic view of the lights around the Xiangjiang River and the elegant scenery of Juzizhou.

Yuelu mountain

Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area is located in the Juzizhou Tourist Scenic Area. It is the last peak of the 72 peaks of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue. It is one of the four major maple attractions in China. Climbing Yuelu Mountain can not only exercise but also see the scenery along the way. There are Yuelu Academy, Aiwan Pavilion, Lushan Temple, Yunlu Palace and other famous attractions. The mountains are lush with trees and ancient and famous trees can be seen everywhere.

The especially famous Aiwan Pavilion is popular among tourists; it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and surrounded by maple leaves, making it a good place to enjoy the scenery. The four wings of the pavilion are raised high and covered with green glazed tiles. It is the place where Comrade Mao Zedong engaged in revolutionary activities in his early years.

Taiping Street is the most complete street in the ancient city of Changsha that retains the original street pattern. There are historical sites such as Jia Yi's former residence, Changhuai Well, the West Archway of Mingji Fan's Mansion, as well as old houses with blue tiles and white walls. Jia Yi's former residence can be visited only with an ID card and a ticket, but there are more people in general.

Taiping Street not only sells small souvenirs but also various specialties. In terms of food, there are also snacks with delicious color, aroma and flavor (I don't recommend this. Everyone has different tastes. Try it depending on what you want to eat. Don't eat too much.

Changsha Bar Street, hence the name Siyi, is a street where many bar stores are gathered. This is another way of life that best reflects the local people in Changsha. You can feel Changsha's enthusiasm even after work.

The oldest bar street belongs to Jiefang West Road. It was also the one that was originally called Bar Street by people and forgot its name. The bar has a bar and a clear bar. The clear bar is located on the other side of Huangxing Square (not far away and within walking distance)

There is also the famous Huo Palace on Pozi Street, not far from Jiefang West Road. It has a collection of hundreds of snacks for you to choose from. If you go in on an empty stomach, you will probably have to eat it to fill your stomach out.
