Before you visit the 'Little Sanya' of Changsha, Songya Lake, make sure to read this article

✨Highlights: ▼The area is vast, suitable for leisurely walks, running, photography, and taking children out ▼One of the places in Changsha that most resembles the sea ▼It's not just about 'seeing the sea'; there are surprises in every season ▼Camping in April and May is just right, with gentle breezes, open views, and fields of flowers and greenery ❶Songya Lake Children's Paradise Beach (entrance at East Gate 1) A holy land for kids to play with sand and water + photo spots, with soft and comfortable sand. ❷Songya Lake Experience Park (intersection of Binhu Road and East Third Road) Suitable for taking children out, with pirate ships, bumper cars, etc. ❸Grasslands (everywhere) For flying kites, camping ❹Metasequoia Forest (south side, location: Lotus Pond Moon Reflection) Great for checking in and taking photos, especially when the metasequoias turn red in autumn and winter ❺The Loneliest Tree (location: Songya Lake International Friendship Forest) Good for checking in and taking photos, try to find several angles for photography. ❣️Other Tips 🚌Transportation: Parking is difficult on weekends due to the crowds, especially at the beach entrance. The subway is a bit far from the attractions; we took the subway line 3 to Songya Lake Station and then took a taxi. 🥤Food: There are snack stalls on the roadside selling stinky tofu, cold noodles, pancakes, etc., and there are also sales of sand digging tools and kites for children. 🎈Navigation: Because Songya Lake is large, if you have a specific destination, navigate directly to the relevant entrance or location, such as 'Songya Lake Children's Paradise Beach', otherwise it will be tiring to walk. 🚴‍♀️Lake Circumference: You can rent bicycles, with a 200 yuan deposit, four-wheel three-seaters are 40 yuan/hour. It took us one to two hours to cycle around the lake, costing 80 yuan. 👀Choose a good weather to go, especially in summer to watch the sunset on the beach, with silvery white fine sand, open lake surface, palm trees, skateboarding youths... it's like being on a seaside vacation.
