In addition to the famous traditional scenic spots such as Orange Island and Yuelu Academy, Changsha has many special scenic spots. Although it is not famous, you can't miss it!
Look at the typical karst landform-Thousand Buddha Cave.
Thousand Buddha Cave is a cave formed 360 million years ago and the youngest cave in China. The landform here is complex, and there are rare canyons in the cave, with a vertical height of nearly 100 meters. There are thirteen holes in the cave, which are interconnected. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, so it's a good place for summer. At the entrance of the Thousand Buddha Cave, there is a reservoir called the Heart Washing Pool, which needs to be entered by boat, and the cruise ship is heading for the cave.
In the heart washing pool, the blue waves are slowly receding, and the hole in front is slowly sinking. As soon as I entered the mouth of the cave, a chill came over my face. After a night tour under the starry sky, I vaguely saw three or two lights, then detoured for a while, drifting away, and the moon stars were rare, just like Penglai fairyland. After the first hole, I left the boat, entered through the hole, and set foot on a path paved with slightly swaying boards on the water. The spring water gurgled on both sides, and the cold water penetrated my feet. Occasionally, I don't know where to drop three or two drops of water, and it "snapped" and smashed all over the floor.
A Good Place to Drift in Summer —— Cool Heart and Fly Heart
Shiyan Lake has a profound history and a long history of culture. Drifting here is divided into: underground drifting and forest drifting. The underground drifting channel is long and steep, and the annual temperature in the canyon is 17~ 18. Along the forest drift, there are dense trees, including rapids and rapids, as well as calm streams. One moment exciting, the other calm.
Boarding the rubber raft with friends, sitting at both ends of the rubber raft, holding hands on the raft, the lifeguard pushed hard and the rubber raft washed down along the current. In the turbulent torrent, I want to go with the flow, and I want to go with the flow. Before the first landslide, the raft didn't listen to me, so I couldn't help diving. We screamed in unison, and the splash hit my face with a bang, and my body suddenly got wet.
Seriously, Changsha is really not a tourist city. Most friends who come to Changsha use this as a transit point to go to Zhangjiajie in Phoenix and Hengshan in Chenzhou, but if you really want to travel to Changsha, I suggest you mainly experience the local culture and taste Changsha cuisine and nightlife.
You can climb the mountain in Yuelu Mountain in the morning. Yuelu Academy, one of the four major academies in China, is at the foot of the mountain. Feel the culture of Hunan and Chu. These two places are near Xiangjiang River. Teachers College of Hunan University is not far away. You can visit the university town there.
You can also go to Orange Island on the Xiangjiang River. In those days, where Chairman Mao wrote down the spring snow in Qinyuan, there was a huge portrait of young Mao Zedong. Whenever there is a grand festival, there will be a grand fireworks here.
At night, you can take a boat to Fisherman's Wharf, which is another punching point near Xiangjiang River, and you can also go to Taiping Street, one of the few stone roads in Changsha. In addition, Lijiang-style Hualongchi Bar Street and Jiefang West Road, the most lively bar street, are also nearby.
Other historical and cultural attractions in Changsha include Tianxin Pavilion, Baishajing, Du Fu Jiangge and Mawangdui Han Tomb.
A song "Qinyuanchun Changsha", Grandpa Mao takes you to know Orange Island, see all the mountains and forests. When you come to Changsha, you must come to Orange Island to see the stone statue of Chairman Mao. It's easy to find when you come in.

There are three must-see attractions in downtown Changsha:
1. Yuelu Mountain. Climbing a mountain is not high, but there are many scenic spots and history.
There are Wang Yu Temple, Huangxing Tomb and Cai E Tomb, and many historical figures are buried here.
There are Lushan temple, Buddhist temple, morning bell and dusk drum, chanting Buddha's name.
There is the Love Evening Pavilion, where Mao Zedong studied, organized clubs and discussed current affairs when he was young.
There is Yuelu Academy, one of the four major academies in ancient China. There are many celebrities here, and Zhang Wei is the head of the academy. It is the predecessor of Hunan University.
2. Orange Island. On the banks of Xiangjiang River, young Mao Zedong and his classmates pointed out the places where Jiangshan inspired writing. Xiangjiang River is wide and undulating, very majestic. I remember the wind blowing in the river at that time, which dispelled the summer heat.
3. Hunan Museum. From Cambrian to Jurassic, from prehistoric stone age to farming age, the fossils in the window recorded the geological age and the historical period of Chinese civilization. It is particularly worth mentioning that Mawangdui, the gold thread and jade clothes, and the mummified woman Mrs. Xin Zhui were unearthed in Changsha.
Not long ago, Tomb-Sweeping Day had a holiday, and four of us went to Changsha for two days. I think we still have a say in this issue.
When going to a place, it is best to have a local person to accompany you, so that you can accurately go to the scenic spots you are satisfied with without detours. On your first day in Changsha, you can go to the famous Guo Jin Street in Changsha, find a hotel near Huangxing Square, put down your luggage and start your journey. Huangxing Square was built in memory of the revolutionary martyr Grandpa Huang Xing. Guo Jin Street and Fire Palace are the gathering places of famous snacks in Changsha, such as stinky tofu, sugar and oil, pollen and so on.
When it comes to the beautiful scenery of Changsha, we have to mention Orange Island, a small island in the river. It rained in Mao Mao on the day I went there, and the whole scenery was hazy. I walked to the end of the mainland to visit the statue of Grandpa Mao for about an afternoon at a time. I didn't feel very tired during the whole tour, because I felt relaxed in this beautiful scenery. The scenery is very good, and it is also suitable for taking pictures. Unfortunately, because of the wrong time, I didn't see the fireworks show in Orange Island.
In fact, for a poor college student, the original intention of going to Changsha is to see the style of the provincial museum, because the provincial Expo is open to the outside world, and there are many natural people, and there is a queue for nearly two hours. However, we must believe that all good things are worth waiting for. After visiting the provincial Expo, I feel very glad that you came. Friends who want to know about history must not miss this opportunity!
There are still many scenic spots in Changsha, and the journey is very short. There are still many places that have not arrived, such as the window of the world, but I left my thoughts and look forward to the next trip to Changsha!
When you go to Changsha, the first thing you recommend is Orange Island, where the statue of Chairman Mao can refresh your understanding of the height of the statue, and you can really only look at it from a distance.
In addition, I checked that there are fireworks every week in Orange Island. It was a few years ago, and now I don't know if there is.
Second place can go to the window of the world. In fact, the window of the world is similar to amusement parks such as Happy Valley, but there is a special place here, that is, there is a happy castle where Super Girl lived before. The pink castle is very beautiful. It's quite emotional to watch the fast female contestants sing live in it before, but you can only see it outside if you go and see it.
The third recommended places are Yuelu Mountain and Yuelu Academy. On the way to climb the mountain, you will see a pavilion called "Love Night Pavilion". It is said that Du Mu's poem "Walking in the Mountains" was written here, "Stop and sit in the maple forest late, and the frost leaves are red in February". Is this poem particularly beautiful? If autumn and winter come, you will feel that the descriptions in Du Mu's poems are not beautiful. Because there are red maple leaves here in autumn and winter, it's really super beautiful!
Other places can go to zoos, museums, memorial halls and other places, in fact, every big city has them. If you are interested, you can go and see them.
Finally, in fact, the most worthwhile thing to go to Changsha is to eat. There are many delicious foods in Huangxing Pedestrian Street, such as sugar and oil, crayfish and stinky tofu. Those who like to eat heavy tastes must not miss it!
There are really no recommended scenic spots, and many places are similar. You can travel, see what scenic spots there are, and then choose where to go according to your own interests. There will be introductions to scenic spots and comments from people who have been there.
I didn't feel anything special when I was in Changsha, but I walked for two days, just sauce.
