#May Day, Changsha IFS #

Since 2020, I have been immersed in work and haven't traveled far with my boyfriend for a long time. However, many of my friends have been traveling in Xiusha recently. I am really itching. I just took her boyfriend and booked a high-speed rail ticket for the weekend on Monday., set off directly to Changsha!

We started on a free trip, but we met some old travel friends on the way, so we didn't need to make guides when we went to local places to eat and have fun. We were arranged clearly and clearly, which was so open!!

I came late on the first day and went to Juzizhou after dinner. This is actually a big park. I think it's good to walk around when I have time. I don't have to take a small train. After dinner, many people will walk their children on the big lawn. Even if night falls, not many people leave. We started walking at Orange Island Station, just for a walk. The whole journey to the Mao Statue was about 3.3 kilometers.

It was not easy to finally meet Grandpa Mao. There were many people taking photos, and everyone quickly took a photo and checked in.

Ps: We took a small train back later ~

Changsha IFS

When we woke up the next day, we were ready to go to Changsha IFS. This place was recommended by old friends. They said that this year is the third anniversary of Changsha IFS and some large-scale events are often held. This time we happened to meet an exhibition co-organized with the fashion magazine "Marie Claire". I heard that both exhibitions were very suitable for taking photos, so we came straight over after breakfast.

After arriving, of course, I chose to go to the large terrace on the 7th floor to check in on the Internet celebrity KAWS sculpture. I feel that this has become a must-have check-in point in Changsha now. Hahahaha. Not checking in is equivalent to nothing. One thing to say, it's really very beautiful. It's easy to release a film no matter how you shoot it. I went during the day, but I saw many sisters checking in at night and it looked good. It depends on everyone's preferences!

Only when I arrived did I realize that these two exhibitions were Her Yu Jiaren Immersive Installation Exhibition and Her Yu Pink Spring Flamingo Installation. It seems that many bloggers in Xiaohongshu had recommended them before, but when I came this time, I realized that they were really beautiful, especially for taking photos, which is especially good for release ~

Her Yu Jiaren immersive installation exhibition is in the west atrium of the third floor. It is the feel of a fashionable retro runway. It uses deep red, and then adds gold arches and some more textured decorations. The whole device has three channels. The one in the middle is larger, and the ones on both sides are more like two small doors, but they are all covered with a red carpet ~

There is no need to say much about taking photos and taking pictures, because the furnishings are so well, the pictures can be taken from many angles, and this red background and skirt are simply too beautiful!! I asked my boyfriend to take pictures of all my scenes before I was willing to leave ~

But if you are coming, remember to be early, this exhibition will close on May 5th ~

She gave Pink Spring Flamingo to install it on the 7th floor of the mall, with a sculpture garden outside. The protagonist here is the flamingos in the tropical rainforest. In all kinds of postures, they are super beautiful and eye-catching. From a distance, you can see the green background with the warmth of orange + pink, which completely subverts your imagination of spring!

It's not easy to take photos here. Pay attention to the light and angle, but the films shown here are really girly, but no matter how straight your boyfriend is, he can take pictures for you here!! This exhibition is open until June 30th, remember not to miss it ~

After taking the photos, it was just time to eat. Changsha IFS has a rich variety of delicacies, so I don't have to worry about having dinner here. Almost the recommended Bihuo Lou Restaurant, Chili Tree, Luxiang Town, Xiangchun Restaurant, XiangJazz 2004, etc. are all here. Because this place was really too big, we finally chose the pepper tree on the 6th floor. This place is worthy of being an Internet celebrity restaurant, with a lot of people queuing up, but the environment and dishes are quite worth it.

We ordered Changsha's most famous fish head with chopped pepper, as well as fried meat with chili pepper, fried chicken with private vinegar, and adding a seasonal vegetable to be enough to be full. The chopped pepper fish head is delicious but very spicy, so be careful! Stir-fried pork with chili pepper is a classic taste of Hunan cuisine, but I like it and it's also very delicious ~

There is also one piece of secret and important news ~

5.1-5.15 During this period, Changsha IFS will also hold an event called "Changsha Taste Visitors 'Tour Ceremony". As long as foreign tourists spend more than 3000 yuan here, they can receive a "Changsha Taste" gift certificate combination with up to 2 receipts. The gift certificate combination includes brands: Tea Beauty, Momo Dim Sum Bureau, Chili Tree,(you need ID card, ticket, train ticket, etc.), and the quantity is limited. Remember to come early during the May Day holiday.

Pozi Street

We originally went to the Huo Palace at night, but we heard from friends that the Huo Palace is all for tourists and the locals don't go there often. So I didn't go, but turned around and went to Pozi Street. I think the hot and sour chicken offal powder for the snacks here is just as spicy as possible! Compared with the spiciousness in Chongqing, Sichuan, the spiciousness in Hunan is lighter; there are also great chicken and garlic sprouts! The price is also affordable ~ stinky tofu is not bad, too. The tofu juice is poured one by one, which is very delicious!

Traveling freely in Changsha is not too difficult. Friends provide guides, and snacks attractions and routes are well planned. Basically, you can have a satisfactory time in two days, and you can also sleep in and rest in the hotel. It's a bit difficult to get transportation in Changsha, so it's best to pick scenic spots on the subway line so that you don't spend too much time taking taxis.
