Ten must-see places in Changsha

When you mention Changsha, is Hunan Satellite TV your first thought? I am anyway, but after living in Changsha for so long, I finally began to know more, eat, drink and be merry more and more, and I finally fell in love with this city.

My home is not only here, but also a city full of happiness: the capital of entertainment, low housing prices, good scenery and even many snacks.

Today, I would like to recommend 10 scenic spots that Changsha must play, each one is more exciting than the other. How many do you know? Remember to like collecting!

1. Orange Island

Orange Island is a 5A-level scenic spot, located on a strip island in Xiangjiang River. It is very beautiful. The island has a large area, so tourists can choose to walk or take a small train and take a bus to 20 yuan.

Of course, the most distinctive feature of the scenic spot is the portrait of young Chairman Mao, which is the largest portrait of Chairman in China and one of the scenic spots where all tourists have to punch in when they come to Orange Island. Standing in Orange Island, although you can't write the magnificent poem "Qinyuanchun Changsha", you can certainly appreciate the broad mind of Xiangjiang River.

2. Yuelu Mountain

Yuelu Mountain is one of the most scenic spots worth visiting in Changsha. It is the only indoor mountain in Changsha, with complete facilities, including running roads, car roads and paths for tourists to climb and watch. The air inside is good and the scenery is beautiful. It is the first choice for local people in Changsha for weekend leisure sports.

There are mainly two different routes here:

Go up the mountain from the south gate and visit Yuelu Academy, Aiwan Pavilion and Gulou Mountain Temple in turn. At this stage, you have to climb by yourself, and the temple has to take a path to get in;

Take the battery car up the mountain from the east gate, then play all the way down the mountain, and finally come out from the south gate.

After crossing the corridor at the top of the mountain, you can reach the rest area at the top of the mountain, where you can have a panoramic view of Changsha's high-altitude scenery, take many beautiful photos, and then take the cable car down the mountain. The speed of the cable car is not fast and the whole process is very quiet. You can watch Orange Island from a distance. It is also suitable for meditation and relaxation. On weekends, you can invite friends to climb the mountain and overlook it. The air is fresh and you feel comfortable!

There are top universities such as Hunan University and Central South University near Yuelu Academy. From time to time, students do community activities nearby, which is full of literary atmosphere.

The best time to visit Yuelu Academy is in the morning. When the first ray of sunshine shines into the college, walking in the promenade, Woods and ponds, holding a book in hand, or taking a camera to record the beautiful scenery, time passes slowly and comfortably.

4. Love Night Pavilion

Love Night Pavilion is surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing east, and there is a pond not far away. It is one of the symbols of Yuelu Mountain, and many tourists come to punch in and take pictures.

In autumn, maple trees are red and surrounded by red leaves. It's beautiful! Winter is a different scene. Pavilions and pavilions are covered with fallen leaves, and some have grown ice. At this time, the love night pavilion is like a quiet and sleeping beautiful girl, waiting for the arrival of spring.

5. Gulushan Temple

Gulou Mountain Temple, also known as Huiguang Temple and manjuji, is located halfway up Yuelu Mountain. Built in the Western Jin Dynasty, it has a history of 1700 years. It is one of the earliest relics where Buddhism was introduced into Hunan. It is not only the first Buddhist temple in Hunan, but also one of the earliest Buddhist temples in China.

Today, there are monks and worshippers in Gulushan Temple. It's hidden in the bushes. You should look for it from the path of Yuelu Mountain. This is a small and mysterious temple. There are morning bells and evening bells, as well as Sanskrit sounds. It sounds like being in a foreign land and having a different feeling.
