This small, hidden gem of a Taoist temple in Changsha turns into a fairy-tale world during the ginkgo season "The heart is like a white cloud, always at ease, the mind is like flowing water, going east and west" 💚📍Nan Dynasty Ancient Temple—Taogong Temple 🎫Ticket: 5 yuan (purchase tickets at the entrance) ⌚️Open: 9:00-17:00 🚌Transportation: Take bus 103 to Taogong Temple Station (the transportation is not very convenient, it's relatively close from my place in Wanjiali) 🚇Subway: Line 6 to Shaoguang Station Exit 2, then take a taxi to Taogong Temple, about 2.2 kilometers Taogong Temple is one of the three ancient temples in Changsha, belonging to Taoist culture, known as "the remaining temple of the Six Dynasties, the famous mountain for a thousand years". Taogong Temple is not very large, consisting of the mountain gate, opera tower, stone steps, main hall, and side hall. The eaves, wall tops, and ridges display the craftsmanship of ancient artisans. I was left speechless by these magnificent buildings, exquisite carvings, and the colorful wall art!!! The aesthetics of our ancestors are amazing! If you take a set of Hanfu photos here, it will definitely be amazing!!! Outside the temple is the Liuyang River, where many fishing enthusiasts gather. If you have time and interest, you can also take a walk in Langli Ancient Town This area has not been commercialized yet It's a very niche place Suitable for relaxation～ I am a small package who loves to travel and share✌️

Changsha has low-difficulty, niche mountains with ancient temples and lakes, it's so beautiful! ||| 🤟🤟 Free admission, few tourists, beautiful scenery! 🌸🌸Recently, I discovered a super nice place to play around the outskirts of Changsha. It's like a reachable paradise! 🎁🎁This is the Purple Bamboo Mountain located in Gaoqiao. Large and extremely rare purple bamboo grows on the mountain, and these tall bamboo trees continue to grow, forming a huge bamboo forest that is really great for taking photos. 👀👀Whether it's a misty rainy day or a sunny day, you can take very artistic photos. 🌿🌿Apart from the bamboo forest, there are also many other plants on the mountain, such as the bright red azaleas, plump raspberries, various unknown wild flowers and grasses, 🌼🌼and large areas of forests. These plants bring endless fresh oxygen, making people feel very comfortable. 🎄🎄Among the bamboo forest, there is an ancient temple called Kaiyuan Temple built in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The temple covers an area of more than 140 acres and is the largest temple in Changsha County. The whole temple is surrounded by green mountains and rivers, and the buildings inside the temple are magnificent and grand, 👀👀which is very impressive whether viewed from afar or up close. Because of its long history, Kaiyuan Temple has a far-reaching reputation and the incense is still flourishing. When passing by, it is worth going in and lighting a stick of incense. 🎈🎈There is also an ancient well on the mountain called Longpo Ancient Well. The well water is clear and transparent, with green plants and white clouds reflected in it, creating a beautiful scenery.👍🏻👍🏻The water is very clean and can be drunk directly. The water quality is sweet and delicious. It feels great to take a sip when tired from walking. 🚗Address: Kaiyuan Temple, Zizhushan, Gaoqiao Town, Changsha County. 💰Ticket: Free

Food Culture|"Changsha" tastes special foods at the snack street to Changsha. The first thing is to eat specialty snacks. The South Gate where I live is a very famous snack street in Changsha. Changsha stinky tofu is definitely one of the best snacks in Changsha. Well-known brands include: four stinky tofu, fire palace stinky tofu, Luojia stinky, among them black classic, is Chairman Mao's favorite. So the stalls in the night market have the highest proportion of stinky tofu. Its amazing to smell this smell and eat something fragrant. This taste also adds a unique temperament to this gastronomic capital. In addition to stinky tofu, it is also popular with "sugar oil". This authentic Changsha traditional snack, on the hall, under the road stalls, is very popular with locals. Hunan cuisine is not only spicy, but also spicy. As a tourist, we naturally have to taste it. Soft to the heart, sweet to the bone marrow. Changsha crayfish is also very well known. Recently, I have also seen news reports that Changsha eats more than 100,000 tons of crayfish every year and is among the best in many cities across the country. After listening to Changsha people, they only felt that they were too conservative. It is not too much to add a zero. Xiangwei barbecue is also a popular snack in the streets and lanes, which can reflect the hot enthusiasm of Hunan people. Drinking a few bottles of cold beer in the summer, just a few skewers, is definitely a very rare enjoyment.

Full review of the Steigenberger Icon Changsha: A cost-effective choice with many facets I recently stayed at the Steigenberger Icon Changsha, a high-end hotel under the Huazhu Group, and had a great experience. Here's my review. 📍Great location The hotel is located near the Changsha International Convention and Exhibition Center and close to Guangda, the last stop on Metro Line 2. It's only one stop away from Changsha South Railway Station, and you can take the metro directly to Changsha Railway Station, Wuyi Square, Orange Isle, and Meixi Lake. Although it's at the end of the metro line, it's a great choice for travelers due to its high cost-effectiveness and convenient transportation. 📋Basic hotel information The hotel opened in the second half of 2021 and is in the same building as the Steigenberger Hotel. It was originally planned to be an InterContinental and Crowne Plaza dual-brand hotel, but the owner, Sunac, changed it to the German brand Steigenberger Icon and Steigenberger under the Huazhu Group. The hotel has 363 rooms and suites. 📤Smooth check-in When I arrived at the hotel, the staff linked my membership level and arranged a corner room on the 20th floor for me. They also kindly informed me of the breakfast location and time. At the time, both the indoor and outdoor swimming pools were closed for maintenance, but the gym was open 24 hours a day and could be accessed with a card, which is convenient for fitness enthusiasts. 🏘️Reasonable room layout The room layout is very square. When you enter the room, there is a closet on the left and a bathroom on the right. There is a square desk in the room, which can meet basic office needs. The two large floor-to-ceiling windows in the corner room are a highlight, offering a very open view. There is also an L-shaped sofa by the window, which is very comfortable to sit or lie on. 🛌Complete and high-quality amenities 1. 🛏️Room amenities: When I returned to my room in the evening, a welcome fruit plate was already placed. For Platinum members, the mini bar is free, with a can of Coke, a can of Sprite, a can of Fanta, a bottle of sparkling water, six packs of tea, and two bags of coffee. There are also two wine glasses in the cabinet. The room has plenty of bottled water. The mattress is comfortable, and the bedding is silky, providing a good sleep experience. The TV can be cast, adding to the entertainment options. 2. 🛁Bathroom amenities: The room has a large bathtub, which is great for relaxing when you're tired. The toiletries are the same as those at Sheraton, and body lotion is provided. The hairdryer is Dyson, which is high quality. However, the room does not have a smart toilet. 3. 🧹Soundproofing and cleanliness: The soundproofing is good, creating a quiet environment for rest. The room is also very clean, with timely linen changes. 🍜Great dining experience Although the hotel does not have a lounge, the breakfast is excellent. The noodle station has a variety of toppings and ingredients, and the hot dishes are made with real ingredients, with plenty of meat and delicious flavors to satisfy different tastes. 💪Well-equipped gym The hotel has a 24-hour unmanned gym on the top floor, which is large and well-equipped. Although there are no free weights, the other facilities are comparable to a small commercial gym. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools not only have great views but also meet the length and depth standards, making them perfect for swimming enthusiasts. 💗Other tips 1. The air conditioning in the hotel restaurant and gym is not very effective, so you may want to adjust your clothing accordingly when visiting these areas. 2. Although the hotel does not have a dedicated concierge, the front desk staff are very friendly and can help with any questions. 3. There are many local delicacies and attractions around the hotel, so be sure to explore during your stay. Overall, as the most high-end brand under the Huazhu Group, apart from Song Hotel, the Steigenberger Icon Changsha may not fully meet the "luxury" standard in some aspects, but its high cost-effectiveness, excellent breakfast, and high-quality public facilities make it a hotel worth choosing. I look forward to seeing it continue to improve and develop in the future.

The festive atmosphere is getting stronger🎇. I arrived in Changsha early and chose a very unique Chinese-style chain hotel. I'm so happy! 😛😛 The lobby feels very high-end🤔. The Chinese-style design and all the decorations are made of solid wood. There are fruits, flower tea, candies, and desserts at the front desk. The first impression is very good. 👍👍👍 There are several Chinese-style Hanfu hanging on the coat rack on one side of the lobby. They are packed in dust bags, clean and tidy. The staff said that guests can use them for free. I must put them on and take some photos! 📸✌✌ The room is also decorated in a solid wood style. The layout is square, the space is large, the wet and dry areas are separated, and the lighting is sufficient. The double bed is quite wide, and there are snacks, tea sets, table lamps, and books.

The location is very convenient. 🌈 🏞Nearby attractions: Songya Lake National Wetland Park 1.7 km The breakfast restaurant, terrace garden, and laundry room are all well-equipped, making it very suitable for long-term stays! ‼️ ⭕️The key point is that the room rate is not expensive. If you come to Changsha during the Lunar New Year and are deterred by the high prices of hotels in the city center, I recommend this hotel. 🆙🆗

We decided to spend the Lunar New Year in Changsha with our family 🌠, and we chose a Chinese-style hotel we had stayed at before. The room rate was over 100 per person, and the whole family loved it. The room was spacious, even with kids it didn't feel crowded. The toiletries were complete, and there were even children's products, which was very thoughtful 💗. The room also had a desk and a tea table, so even with more people in the room, we didn't have to sit on the bed. We all loved the buffet breakfast 🤤, with both light and heavy flavors, freshly baked egg tarts for the kids, and light porridge for the elderly. The variety was rich and met the breakfast needs of the whole family 😺. The laundry room was also well-equipped, with detergent, a steamer, and two types of dryers, which was very convenient for our long stay 🤗👍. The location was also very convenient, right at the subway entrance, making it easy and time-saving to go to attractions or shopping malls 😊😊. The hotel service was very warm 😌, with polite greetings, polite responses, and patient problem-solving. They also offered free laundry service and took special care of children and the elderly 😇😇. We chose to stay at Pinman 🏨 again without hesitation this time, and it was for a reason 🌈.

The weather in Changsha has been great recently ☀️, so I went to Songya Lake National Wetland Park and stayed at a hotel nearby. I was really impressed by the hotel 🍀, and had a great time on my trip 🧚‍♂️🧚 ⭕️I usually stay at modern hotels, but this one was different! The wooden furniture, pianos, tea, books, and flowers give the hotel a Chinese vibe. The lobby has a variety of Hanfu, and the desserts are made with traditional ingredients, so you can taste the original flavors 💟💯 💠The hotel has a breakfast buffet, self-service laundry, a rooftop garden, and a tea room. It's perfect for long stays. They also offer free laundry and 24-hour butler service, so any issues are resolved quickly. The service is warm and attentive, which makes you feel at home 💗👏 ✅Songya Lake National Wetland Park is just 5 minutes away by car❗️

🌆✨Hunan University is so beautiful! In addition to the old buildings on campus that are full of artistic vibes, the villages near the university also seem to be influenced by the thousand-year-old university. The innate sense of tranquility and artistic style make Jian She Cun, a place full of nostalgia, feel warm. 🏡✨In fact, the villages near Hunan University are not administrative villages in the true sense, but dormitory buildings for the faculty and staff of Hunan University. They are not only neighbors with Hunan University, but also have long been integrated with the campus and become interdependent after years of living together. 🌳✨If it weren't for a local guide, few people would find this place by walking along the path from Lushan South Road. This is a place full of nostalgic buildings, like another world. The abandoned water tower and neat red brick houses are full of nostalgia. Walking up the mountain along the path and passing by the orange trees, you will find that some houses are still inhabited, although they are old. 🏡✨The houses here are very unique, with many buildings built in the gaps. You can find houses from different eras here, including collective courtyard-style houses, Soviet-style two-story villas, and low tile-roofed houses. 🏡✨The feeling of being hidden in the city but not far from the city is really rare in a big city. Next door is the bustling Lushan South Road, but who would have thought that there is such a quiet place hidden here? It doesn't feel like a city, but more like a countryside. This is also one of the many faces of Hunan University.

A hotel with great service, quality, and attention to detail🏨. It's not simple, but has connotations. It's located at the Songya Lake (South) Station of Metro Line 3, with convenient transportation, many shopping malls and attractions nearby, and a night market next to the hotel to satisfy foodies' taste buds. The location is impeccable🥇 The hotel rooms are spacious and well-lit, with tea tables and tea sets, desks and desk lamps, and a full range of toiletries. The bedding is soft and comfortable, the shower room is separated from the dry area, and there is a laundry room, self-service breakfast room, and garden terrace, which is perfect for long stays🏵 In the afternoon, they also have freshly made healthy desserts, which taste great, sweet but not greasy, and warm in winter. The service is also very attentive, with tea served at the front desk every time, asking about our check-in experience, and responding promptly to any needs. It's great‼️ Five⭐️ recommendation, I sincerely recommend it to everyone. I will choose this place again next time I have the chance to visit Changsha🉑🉑

“The reeds and rushes are deeply green, and the white dew is turned into hoarfrost. The man of whom I think is somewhere about the water.” The poem "The Reeds and Rushes" has made reeds a symbol of longing for thousands of years. Although winter has arrived, the weather in Changsha is still pleasant, with warm sunshine, dry air, and blue skies. This weather is perfect for going out to enjoy the flowers. Come and find the reeds and poetry hidden in Changsha! ✅ Jiangtan Park 300 meters east of Xiaoxiang Middle Road, Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan Province In late November every year, Xiangjiang Jiangtan Park welcomes the season of reed flowers. The park is located on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River. From the bridge, you can see clusters of reeds growing by the water, shimmering and swaying gently, like a clear dream. The reeds here are mainly Phragmites australis, which have slender and soft flower spikes, unlike the fluffy inflorescences of common reeds. The Phragmites australis and Miscanthus are intertwined, forming a rounded outline. Although Miscanthus is not a reed, it is no less beautiful in appearance. When the breeze blows, it adds a touch of resilience and softness to the reeds. Tips: Tickets: Free, open all day ⏰ Recommended shooting time: 10:00–11:30, 15:00–16:30 📸 Shooting suggestions: Use props or interact with the reeds to make the picture more story-like.

You can also add some light jackets or scarves to enhance the overall layering. ✅ Garden Ecological Park Luohanzhuang Village, Laodaohe Town, Kaifu District In the Garden Ecological Park, the reeds sway gently in the wind, the plants are arranged in an orderly manner, and the flowers and plants are flourishing, exuding a strong poetic atmosphere. When the morning light shines into the park, the mist gradually dissipates, and the reeds begin to show their brilliance. The straight and swaying reed spikes are like a pen full of poetic feelings, depicting the garden scenery in early winter with extra gentleness. Wearing Hanfu, holding an oil-paper umbrella, walking slowly through the reeds taller than people, and standing by the lake to look into the distance, you will feel a poetic mood. Tips: Tickets (reference price): CNY 15, opening hours: 09:30–17:30 ⏰ Recommended shooting time: 10:00–11:30, 15:00–16:30 📸 Shooting suggestions: Try different angles, squat, shoot from a low angle or sideways, and find an angle that can show the harmony between the reeds and people. You can also let the reeds occupy half of the picture and the people in the other half to create a unique picture. Outfit suggestions: Choose some elegant Hanfu or use props to embellish, which will give a sense of wholeness. ✅ Songya Lake Park No. 118, East Third Road, Changsha County, Changsha City Just after the beginning of winter, Songya Lake National Wetland Park welcomes the unique winter scenery. The large reeds are majestic in the breeze, exuding the tranquility and peace of winter. The reeds are tall and strong, graceful and charming; the flower spikes of Phragmites australis are loose and romantic; the branches of Arundo donax are thick, and the flower spikes are upright. All kinds of reeds are intertwined into a beautiful picture. Looking at Songya Lake from a distance, the shimmering buildings in the distance are integrated with the colorful rural scenery, like a painting. Tips: Tickets: Free, open all day ⏰ Recommended shooting time: 10:00–11:30, 15:00–16:30 📸 Shooting suggestions: Choose a large scene of reeds and interact naturally with the reeds, such as gently stroking the reeds or letting them sway in the wind to make the photos more vivid. Outfit suggestions: You can try wearing bright Hanfu or woolen coats, paired with hats or earrings in the Melard style.

I came to Changsha for an exam, and my best friend booked this hotel near the exam site for me. After staying here, my nervous and anxious mood was much relaxed. 🌙🍶 As soon as I stepped into the hotel, I was impressed by the Chinese-style decoration. It is simple and low-key, but rich in cultural connotation. The Chinese-style flower arrangement and the whole wall of books make the whole space seem to have a quiet filter. The room has a log desk, tea set, snacks, and warm-colored decorations. The warm sun shines into the room, which is the warmth and laziness of home. 🏺📿 The hotel has a breakfast room, laundry room, and terrace garden. Every space is decorated with original stone and wood, which is very convenient to use. There is no decoration in vain, and everything is playing its due role. 🖼🚪 Warm greetings, warm tea, healthy desserts, and special breakfast make the whole check-in process full of ritual. Every detail shows the hotel's care. Whether it is the elegant rhyme of hearing, the healing of vision, the comfort of touch, the fragrance of smell, or the original taste of taste, all of them set off the elegance of the hotel. I feel that time slows down when I stay here. It's so good! 🏡🌈

First time staying at Orange Hotel, and it was an amazing experience! 1️⃣ Service: I arrived at the hotel at around 11 or 12 at night. The front desk staff was very friendly and check-in was very fast. I called the front desk in the middle of the night to ask for water, and it was delivered very quickly. 2️⃣ Breakfast: The breakfast is a Western and Chinese buffet. There are egg tarts, toast, Hunan rice noodles, coffee, fruit, and more. I left the hotel very early on the last day, and the front desk prepared a breakfast to go for me. 3️⃣ Facilities: I was surprised to find a laundry room, and even more surprised to find that there was a dryer and iron. It rained the two days I was there, so my clothes were always damp. The dryer was very convenient. (PS: I was in a hurry to go out and play on the second day, so I called the front desk to help me dry my clothes and deliver them to my room. There is also a gym, but I am lazy and don't exercise, so I didn't use it.) 4️⃣ Room: The room has Orange Hotel's signature orange candies and orange cookies (orange freedom). The shampoo and body wash are also orange-scented and smell great. ⚠️ You can also see Songya Lake, so I got to experience a lake view room (not really🙊). 5️⃣ Environment: The hotel is next to Wuyue Plaza. You have to eat Hunan cuisine when you come to Changsha. I asked the front desk staff for a recommendation, and they recommended a Hunan restaurant next to the hotel. I stayed at Orange Hotel for two days and two nights, and it was a great experience! I will stay here again next time!
