1. (Visiting time is half an hour) - A must-visit place in Shaoshan is the former residence of Comrade Mao Zedong. Information about the former residence can be found online. Please note that you do not need tickets to visit the former residence, but you have to queue up to visit.

After coming out of the former residence, the best place to take panoramic photos is on the edge of the pond directly opposite the former residence.

2. (Visit time is half an hour)--Bronze Statue Square. There are six stone tablets on the road directly in front of the bronze statue, which are engraved with Mao Zedong's poems from different periods. They also commemorate the six martyrs in the family.

3. (Visit time 1 hour)--Comrade Mao Zedong Memorial Hall. The life story of Mao Zedong and the six martyrs in his family are recorded in the form of pictures and text.

4. (Visit time 40 minutes)--Comrade Mao Zedong Relic Museum. Just come out from the back door of the memorial hall. Inside, there are rows of Chairman Mao’s relics, but all of his manuscripts are photocopies, and the originals are kept in the center.

5. It’s lunch time. For lunch, you can go to the Maojia Restaurant founded by Youtang’s mother (this is the real head office). Of course, there are more roadside restaurants. Meals in tourist areas are a bit expensive.

6. Finally, it is recommended to go to Dishui Cave (visit time 90 minutes), which requires tickets. Dishui Cave is the place where Mao Zedong lived in Shaoshan before the Cultural Revolution in 1966.

The scenery is good and there is the tomb of Mao Zedong's grandfather there.
