The nonsense written in front

Although I came to Changsha for the first time, I was on a month-long business trip to study, but before I came, I was very looking forward to this entertainment capital and food city where I could often meet stars and delicious food. I even started to make strategies early. We really didn't disappoint after coming here. The food here is really, very much, and the night view is super beautiful. The city is really beautiful. The night sky is filled with the smell of stinky tofu, and the pedestrians around me in twos and threes make me truly feel the fireworks of the world here.

Day1:

Due to the number of trains, it was already past 4 o'clock when we arrived in Changsha that afternoon, and the hotel we booked was near Wuyi Square, so we temporarily postponed our plan to go to Hisense Square to eat the famous Wenheyou crayfish until the next day. We decided to visit Taiping Old Street, a holy place for tourists to check in first. After getting off the high-speed train, we took the subway directly to Wuyi Square.

Night on Taiping Street

After getting off the subway, we went to the booked hotel to put down our things and went shopping. Taiping Street was still very crowded at night, and the streets at both ends were also busy with traffic. Along the way, I saw many interesting small shops, such as the shop that bought peach blossom wine on the street, the handmade tea cake shop, many fancy stinky tofu and big sausage shops, and countless milk tea shops. However, the most interesting one was the Stinky Tofu Museum opened by Wen Heyou, which is the first museum with the theme of stinky tofu in China.

Maybe it's because the location is good, so many people visit here. This was taken when passing by after the fine weather at night. You can see that many people are interested in stinky tofu culture.



At the entrance is a huge doll representing the image of stinky tofu. It is made quite cute. There is actually one missing hahahaha on its two front teeth. It is holding a Changsha sign in its hand. Many people are taking a group photo here.



Walking inside is a whole wall of small stinky tofu dolls, wearing clothes of all colors. The rag dolls that can be sold feel good. We each bought a color as a souvenir.



Further inside is an AI interactive wall. If you follow the instructions on the wall, you will get your own set of comics. The content of the comics is still related to stinky tofu, but this kind of technological experience is really great. A few of us played here for almost half an hour before leaving.



Then there is a wall full of experimental machines, showing the production process of stinky tofu. You can also try it yourself, which is quite interesting. Then there is a large screen where you can use your imagination to color a cartoon related to stinky tofu, and you can choose to save it after it is completed.



In addition to these modern technologies with a strong sense of experience, there are also pink bottles selling the smell of stinky tofu... The smell of stinky tofu... I wonder if anyone will really buy it and smell it? Although this thing is quite cute ~



This stinky tofu museum is quite interesting and should be a representative of Changsha culture.



There is no sale here of fresh stinky tofu made on-site and you can see the staff frying process up close. Friends who like drinks can also try the fruit soy milk here.


Wen Heyou is really the best among Changsha stinky tofu in terms of cultural competitiveness. No wonder he is so famous ~



Day2:

Window of the World and Crayfish Journey

This time I came to Changsha on a business trip and said I would have two days to play, but it was actually only one and a half days. So after eating, drinking and shopping on the first day, we decided to spend it all the next day. We didn't actually have much interest in those scenic spots, so we bought tickets online and went to Window of the World.


The ticket is 200 yuan, and the price is good. Amusement parks all over the country feel the same, but I haven't been there for a long time, so I want to experience relaxation and excitement.

There are already many people entering the park after ten o'clock in the morning. The gate is very luxurious and gives people the feeling of a super big inner garden. It is relatively open when you walk in. There are many floats performing. There is also a large artificial lake. There are many imitations of world wonders buildings, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Sphinx, the Leaning Tower of Pisa.



There are also some imitation houses and buildings that are also quite beautiful, such as the Yangon Golden Tower, the Yin-Yang Gate in Indonesia, and the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. When put together with some sculptures representing Huxiang culture, it feels quite wonderful.


After a casual tour, we went straight to the events to play. I heard that there was a water park at Window of the World. Later, we went to have a look. It was crowded with people like dumplings. There were long queues for each event. We didn't go to play in the end. You can take a look at the netmap. The project itself is still very interesting, but there are too many people.



I first picked some events that didn't have many people and played for a while, and went to the children's area halfway through. It felt quite interesting, but I was embarrassed to play there all the time. After all, I was too old.


Then I lined up to play with pendulum, pirate ship, space chair and so on. I thought it was okay and not particularly exciting, but I was very nervous. One of our little friends cried directly on the pendulum... If I had known, I would have left her alone in the children's area to play.



Personally, what I find really interesting is the jumpers and the roller coasters. They are really scary and exciting. The jumpers of the Twin Towers in the Sky, one is ejected from the underground to the roof, and the other is landing rapidly from the roof. You can only hear the wind and screams on both sides. It is really exciting. Of course, there is also the Ferris wheel that is worth experiencing.



It was almost four o'clock until walking around and playing around. In the end, I couldn't bear my hunger, so I left the park early and decided to take a taxi to eat the lobster, and then I arrived at Hisense Square.

I was really hungry and tired at the end of the day. I mainly waited in line for a long time, but fortunately I finally waited and ate the delicious food that deserved its reputation. Let's talk about the decoration style here. It has a retro and old feeling of an old Hong Kong alley in the 1980s. It is very stylishly. Many young ladies who like Hong Kong style take photos here.



We ordered one serving of crayfish, four bowls of stinky tofu, one serving of saoluo, four serving of rice bibimbap with lard, and some side dishes.

The crayfish is very color, the shrimp meat is very fresh, the taste is tender and smooth, and the taste is excellent. Personally, I don't think it is very spicy, but it is definitely enough for people who eat average spicy food. It is said that this flavor of shrimp is stir-fried with heavy ingredients of fragrant leaves, grass, fruit, ginger and garlic. No wonder it is so delicious. I heard from the waiter that it has been sold out three or four times, so you can imagine how popular it is...



There are many brands of stinky tofu in Changsha, which all seem to be the same, but I don't know how the taste is different, but Wenhe Youjia is very famous, so we ordered a few stinky tofu here. The minced garlic and coriander on the surface are mixed with the fried stinky tofu that is tender on the outside. The stinky tofu is surprisingly not smelly at all? It tastes super!



Soluo is also very delicious, but it is troublesome to eat, but it is handled very cleanly. It tastes like crayfish. It is a little spicy, but the more you eat, the more you taste, the more you want to eat.

Lard rice bibimbap, two yuan per bowl, but it's a little too little. We later ordered a few more bowls, haha, but it's really delicious, fragrant but not greasy, and has an excellent taste. I strongly recommend that everyone must try this lard rice bibimbap. You can't lose out and you can't be deceived!



Iced edamame is also a super delicious snack here. It is troublesome to peel, but the taste is really unique. It is fragrant and spicy, with a touch of coolness. It is excellent with wine.



It was already past ten o'clock in the evening after eating crayfish. We returned to the hotel and each played a few games before resting. Prepare to save your energy for your last day to go out and play.


Day3:
Hunan Province Museum
I got up early the next day. After checking the route, I took the bus directly to the Hunan Province Museum. I had always wanted to see the famous Madam Xin Zhui, but this time I finally realized my dream.


There are not many people in the museum. If you make an appointment in advance online, you can enter the museum directly. When it comes to holidays, it is best to make an appointment in advance. You can usually bring your ID card to enter the museum, but then it seems to be closed on Monday.

The second floor is a Sanxiang historical and cultural display. On the third floor, there are the burial objects of Mrs. Xin Zhui, as well as those of her husband and son. It is really luxurious. The T-shaped silk paintings and the gold thread jade clothes don't look as bright as the ones on TV. Bright, but it is still very shocking. We were busy shaking here, and very few photos were taken, and some places were not allowed to take pictures, so we simply stopped taking them later.

There are many volunteer commentators in the museum. Some of them look very young, but their explanations are very comprehensive and detailed. There are talented people from the generation of mountains and rivers. There are also hidden tigers in the small museum.



Tour Juzizhou at night

After coming out of the museum, we wanted to go back to the hotel, but it was still early and we went to Juzi Island. I took a sightseeing train, saw the statue of Grandpa Mao, and took a walk along the Xiangjiang River.



The summer wind becomes very cool at night. The night view by the riverside is very beautiful. There are countless brightly lit buildings opposite. There are many tourists on the road. I helped several middle school students take some photos.



Several people were walking while talking on the road, taking pictures of many night scenes on the streets of Changsha, and unknowingly walked to the hotel. After a simple wash, they lay on the bed and felt extremely sore in their feet. Only by looking at the WeChat steps did they realize that they had walked today. A lot of road. Sitting on the bed while pressing his feet and chatting, thinking about tomorrow's work and the schedule for the past few days, I suddenly felt that time passed so quickly.

Changsha is really a city worth visiting, especially as a tourist destination, and the delicious food is even more delicious.
