If you want to understand a city, you can not only explore through delicious food, but also understand the city through its characteristic buildings. There are many old buildings in Changsha, but if the most complete ancient street is the old district of Changsha. There are many historical districts in Taiping District worth checking in. From Taiping Street, Xipailou, Majia Lane, Jinqian Street. This place is like a fish bone. Taiping Street is the main road and is divided into left and right streets, and it has never changed.

Walking on Taiping Street, you will see that the houses here have the flavor of old Changsha. Small green tiles, white tile ridges, fire-sealing walls, wooden windows, etc. In addition to these characteristic residential buildings, Taiping Street is now a street full of literature and art. Ministores are everywhere, and there are many specialty snack shops.

Tong Xiaoman, Changsha, is a snack bar full of girls, with unique handmade flower cakes and fruit tea, the best combination for afternoon tea. Jia Yi's former residence, Changhuai Well, Xipailou, etc. on Taiping Street are also must-visit. In addition to Taiping Street is worth visiting, there is also Hualongchi. Hualongchi, also known as Yudai Street, is located in Tianxin Ancient City in Changsha. There is also a story about this Hualongchi.

It is said that there was a blacksmith shop on this street long ago. The old shop owner here was very vicious and usually disliked. Unexpectedly, after his death, he transformed into a snake and hid in the well in front of the blacksmith shop, harassing nearby residents. Knowing that the snake was the work of the old shopkeeper, a young couple decided to use their own methods to eliminate the snake and harm the people of Changsha. So they poured molten iron into the well where the snake was hiding.

Unexpectedly, this method could really eliminate this snake. From then on, there has been a saying called Dragon Transformation Pond. Although this is just a legend, it also shows that Changsha has been a city full of justice since ancient times. Today's Hualongchi Ancient Street has become a bar street. Many tourists come here under false pretenses for clearing bars and leisure bars, large and small. Meeting friends on three or five days and finding a favorite bar to drink slowly is also a great joy in life.

If you are planning to travel to Changsha, you must not miss these two ancient streets. Make plans first!
