After returning to Changlinyuan, I plan to go shopping at Huangxing Road, the largest and longest pedestrian street in Changsha. It is also a source of food, restaurants, clothes, shoes, cosmetics, and souvenirs. I recommend coming late at night when the weather is not hot. The recommended souvenir shop is Changsha's famous tea shop, Sexy Tea. In addition to selling delicious milk tea, they also have cute souvenirs. Another shop is roasted chicken with chili and mala and jasmine tea. It is very delicious and not expensive. How to get there: Take the subway and get off at Wuyi Square Station, Exit 3A. #ChineseNewYear2024 #TravelChina

Changsha, a delicious, fun and comfortable place... Many people can’t finish eating all the delicious food in Changsha, and they don’t want to miss the bad food… This is true! ! ! Any small restaurant on the street is delicious! !

#February Good Places 2025 Speaking of Changsha, in addition to Changsha stinky tofu, history, literature and art, trends, these three words immediately emerged in my mind, to the vicinity of the National Finance Center, you can feel the nightlife of Changsha, to two or three o'clock in the morning, still brightly lit, and trendy in one body, there are many trendy cultural and creative shops, like history also Hunan Museum, Yuelu College, etc.

There are delicious foods inside and you can take a small cable car to see the whole view. 🤎 Friendly reminder: If you are afraid of spicy food, remember to bring some stomach medicine or warm your stomach before eating spicy food.

Food stalls and malls closes really late, got to experience to exciting night life and taste all different snacks and dessert Changsha has to offer.

When you come to Changsha, you must visit May Day Square! A beautiful city that never sleeps, full of snacks, full of signs, and of course full of people! Especially Changsha stinky tofu, you must try it once in your life! Bar, restaurant, livehouse, hotpot, Hunan cuisine! ! I promise you will love

first night in Changsha

Great staff service and clean shop. One of the staff can speak English which help us a lot. We visited this branch twice to buy snack and tea. Highly recommend to visit this branch. Hope the shop owner will plan to add seat and table for customer to enjoy their drink. #ifschangsha #modernchinateashop

3 days is enough. We visited all the main attractions. It is better to take pictures at night. It is really hot during the day, so remember to bring an umbrella. The famous must-eat foods are sugar-coated baba, stinky tofu (it is recommended not to buy from roadside stalls because they smell of stinky grease. Luo's is delicious), rice noodles in rice noodle street, the best ones are Hunan cuisine and spicy hot pot. They are cheap and the portions are large. If you like heavy flavors, you must try them. The specialty is some cakes. There are many flavors to choose from and they are not too sweet. The only drawback of the hotel is that there is no refrigerator. Others are OK #五一广场 #米粉街

It feels like walking around Siam, but much wider. If I have the chance, I will go again.

On the first day of my trip to Zhangjiajie, Changsha in March, I went to the most famous commercial street in Changsha. Note: It is very cold in March, so you must bring warm clothes, otherwise you will be too cold to walk like me. I ate Momo Dim Sum, it was delicious. I ate the black classic stinky tofu, it was delicious and not stinky! (I recommend that friends who don’t eat snacks can try it) Sullivan Dim Sum is a little far from the commercial street, so you can go there if you want to buy souvenirs.

Wuyi Lu, a main thoroughfare in the city central area including the West, the Middle and the East sections, is a popular shopping area in the city. All sorts of department stores, malls and supermarkets, hotels, restaurants on the visitors' recommended list surround the bustling Wuyi Square. The people of Changsha are renowned for their performing arts and they have created various traditional folk performances of their own, including Lion Dance, Dragon Dance, Drum Opera, Clam Dance, Xiang Opera (i.e. Hunan Opera), acrobatics and other dramatic presentations. At Spring Festival, these folk performances appear in the streets and lanes. Where the performers reach is where the atmosphere is the most alive.

First time to Changsha First time taking the high-speed rail It’s the first time I’ve been shopping for so long. It really gets more beautiful as the night goes on...very lively Accommodation is also very convenient...

#TravelerOn a hot summer night, Changsha Night Market is bustling with activity. There are various stalls on both sides of the road, selling a wide variety of snacks and handicrafts. The aroma of steaming barbecue wafts through the air, attracting tourists to come and feast on it. People were walking around, bargaining enthusiastically, the scene was lively and cheerful. Singing and laughter can be heard from time to time all around, blending with the brightly lit night market to create a lively and joyful atmosphere. Changsha Night Market is not only a paradise for food, but also a great place to appreciate local culture, attracting a large number of tourists to linger.

The hotel is in a very good location, with a food pedestrian street downstairs, right next to Huangxing Pedestrian Street. The hotel front desk is very warm and hospitable, and they proactively remind guests that there is midnight snack every day. The ceiling of the room assigned to us when we checked in was yellow and had cracks and leaks. Tangtang immediately helped us change to another room. The service attitude was great 👍🏼! The hotel is located in the downtown area, the soundproofing is a little poor, but everything else is good! It's so convenient. I will consider Manxin Hotel again when I go to Changsha.

Close to the subway station, it is very convenient to go anywhere. The hotel counter clerk patiently explained the hotel facilities

The hotel is less than 10 minutes away from the subway station. There are all kinds of special snacks at the station entrance and outside the hotel. The hotel provides rental Hanfu of good quality. It is recommended that you wear it to take pictures at scenic spots.

The three-day and two-night trip to Changsha was compact, rich and satisfying. On the first day, we arrived at Orange Island, a well-known place. The oasis in the Xiangjiang River, coupled with the story of Mao Zedong, makes it a must-visit for all tourists to Changsha. Then go to Pizi Street. The food shops and souvenir shops on both sides of the street make people feel busy and crowded with tourists. It is connected to Huangxing Square, May Day Square and Taiping Old Street. Wow, you can stroll until 2 or 3 in the morning. The city that never sleeps is truly worthy of its name! In the next two days, we also went to Yuelu Academy, Hunan Museum, and Du Fu Jiangge. Unfortunately, Jia Yi's former residence was under maintenance and we were unable to visit. I have to recommend the homestay we booked to all tourists, Changsha Riverside Homestay, which is super good and cost-effective. You must book a river view room, which is clean and tidy, with new beds, facing Orange Island and Yuelu Mountain, and you can also watch the sunset, which is very comfortable😊

#dreamdestination, Location: 7th Floor, IFS, Changsha, Hunan Opening hours: 10:00-22:00 ! Check-in method: queue up to enter, security guards will let in a fixed number of people each time ! ! Photo time: 5-10 minutes, the time will be cleared and replaced In addition to kaws, the other side of IFS is also very beautiful and can be photographed I went there on a weekday, but I personally felt that the queue time was still a bit long, so I took pictures outside the soft isolation. There were people behind me, so it was not easy to take pictures, and even if I went in, I would definitely take pictures of the soft isolation tape inside, which was not as good as I imagined #探店 #室内#湖南＃#五一广场#沙摄影打卡
