I've been to Changsha seven times, and I finally found the perfect guesthouse!

Are you always struggling to find the perfect place to stay in Changsha? Look beyond the high-rises in Wuyi Square! Quyuan No. 3 Guesthouse, hidden behind IFS, is a true oasis in the bustling city 🌸! It's just a five-minute walk to Huangxing Pedestrian Street, with easy access to Chayan Yuese and Hei Se Dian Jing snacks. But stepping inside feels like traveling back in time to a tranquil Jiangnan courtyard, where you can hear the rustling of bamboo leaves 🍃 🏡 Hua Zhu · Changsha Quyuan No. 3 Guesthouse (Wuyi Square IFS International Finance Square Branch) 📍The location is unbeatable! It's 400 meters from the subway station, a 15-minute train ride to Orange Isle, and a 20-minute cable car ride to Yuelu Mountain. Evenings offer a 10-minute stroll to Jiefangxi Bar Street! Yet, surprisingly, it's incredibly quiet. The housekeeper credits the triple-glazed soundproof windows and the courtyard design 👏 ✨ Check-in Experience ▫ Rooms are decorated in a minimalist wabi-sabi style with natural wood tones, starting from 40㎡ and featuring scenic balconies! My room, "Mu Fang," had a bathtub 🛁 where I could soak while enjoying the courtyard's flowers, plants, and trees 🍁 ▫ The bedding is made of 80-count Xinjiang cotton! It feels like being embraced by a cloud—a dream come true for picky sleepers 😴 🍵 Hidden Gems ✅ Enjoy Anhua dark tea in the courtyard tea room in the morning and watch koi swim among the moss and stones ✅ Have a BBQ on the rooftop camping area in the evening, as the sunset paints the IFS rooftop pink 💖 ✅ Ask the housekeeper for their "Changsha Local's Guide" and discover hidden culinary gems, like the noodle shop with lines even at 2 am! 📸 Instagrammable Spots 🔸 Spiral staircase + giant floor-to-ceiling windows (light-colored dresses recommended) 🔸 Japanese-style dry landscape garden (perfect for hanfu or kimono) 🔸 Artificial flower waterfall in the work area (stunning at night when lit up!) 🚶♀️ My Itinerary D1: Guesthouse → Wuyi Square for crayfish → Graffiti walls at Xuanyuandian Alley → Donggua Mountain for late-night snacks D2: Early morning noodles → Orange Isle train tour → Retro photos at Wenheyou → Riverside stroll D3: Yuelu Mountain cable car → Photos at Aiwan Pavilion → Coffee at Houhu Art District → Departure 💡 Must-Visit Spots Nearby 📍 Super Wenheyou (Travel back to 1980s Changsha) 📍 Xuanyuandian Alley (Hidden gem with colorful graffiti) 📍 Chaozong Street (Historic street with designer boutiques) 📍 Xie Zilong Photography Museum (Black and white outfits highly recommended)
