|||The big screen at May 1st Square is good for taking pictures. It's really beautiful to catch the afterglow of the sunset🌇 We took the sightseeing car to the statue and then walked back. There are many parks along the way and the scenery is very beautiful. It's really comfortable to take a walk after dusk🎀 📍The atmosphere of taking pictures at the big screen of May 1st Square at the intersection of IFS International Finance Center and Huangxing Pedestrian Street is very strong💗

In Changsha, there is a romantic appointment with the sunset. When the sunlight gently falls, the entire city seems to be surrounded by warm colors. 💖✨ The sunset is like a poem, gradually setting, dyeing the sky into a golden color. Its afterglow gently touches the earth, as if giving all life endless warmth and strength. At this moment, time seems to freeze, leaving only this beautiful moment. 🌅💞 With the setting of the sunset, the entire city gradually fell into tranquility. The busy streets quieted down, people stopped their hurried footsteps, and looked up at this beautiful sunset. It seems that at this moment, all troubles and fatigue are taken away by the sunset, leaving only purity and beauty. 😍💕 The sunset in Changsha is a feast for the eyes and the soul. It makes us feel the beauty and power of life, and also makes us full of expectations and hopes for tomorrow. 💪✨

# Mainland customs clearance #travel #Changsha #A good place to check in Transportation strategy: The most convenient way to come to Changsha is to take a Didi taxi. You can get to your destination in just a dozen or so times (of course, if the distance is not far). You can also choose the subway🚇 to travel. The city center is around Wuyi Square Station, Line 2 or 1 Lines are very convenient Local attractions: 1. Orange Island Head. This is a small island located in the Xiangjiang River. You can choose to take the subway to the Xiangjiang Middle Road station and walk from the cross-river bridge to the island. You can also go directly to Juzizhou Station to reach the island. The island has beautiful scenery of the Xiangjiang River, and there are also many unique parks and scenery that you can visit. If you really don’t want to, you can also choose the small train in Figure 9 to travel around the island. 2.Chaozong Street. After nightfall, you can walk out on Xiangjiang Middle Road and you'll be there in about ten minutes. This is an old community with old houses and new shops, and it is a favorite among young people. Because there are many specialty shops inside, such as hot pot 🥘, milk tea 🧋, Qing Bar 🍺🥂, etc. Most of the shops are decorated with Hong Kong-style neon lights, and there are leisure seats at the entrance. The old-style buildings give it a unique flavor. I personally like this attraction the most. hotel: This aspect comes down to personal preference. I live in an apartment next to Chaozong Street, called Yuexiang Qingshe Hotel. The interior environment of the room is very good. The window faces the Wanda Plaza building and the Xiangjiang River. The night view is very good👍🏻. The boss is also very nice. The only drawback is that when I went there, there was renovation work on the interior wall of the building. There was only one elevator available, which made it very painful for me to wait for the elevator while dragging my tired body. But it was very convenient to travel. , it takes about 40 minutes to take a taxi from Changsha South Railway Station (if there is no traffic jam). It is only a ten-minute walk from the hotel to Wuyi Square. There are many snacks and check-in shops along the way. If you want to be close to the city, you can choose to start at the subway stations around Xiangjiang River and Wuyi Square, because the night scenery and lively neighborhoods will make you feel happier than you have in the past three years. Catering and restaurants: I don’t have anything to recommend in this regard, because I don’t like waiting in line to eat, so I just eat at whichever restaurant has a table. However, Chef Youjiafei’s stir-fried pork 🧑‍🍳 is worth recommending. Their stir-fried pork is really fragrant but not greasy🤤The beef with soaked feet is also worth eating, it’s very good👍🏻 Cha Yan Yuese Milk Tea Shop is really worth queuing up🙈🙈 because it is really rich and milky tea, you can drink more without getting tired of it (but drink less for health reasons) If you really want to try it, you can first try it through the mini program on WeChat or Alipay It’s very convenient to place an order and pick it up on site😋😋

Changsha, the capital of central China’s Hunan province, is a large city with a history dating to the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 B.C.). Today it’s known for its rare collection of excavated Western Han dynasty tombs, known as the Mawangdui. It’s also associated with Mao Zedong, who studied and lived here before joining the Chinese Communist Party in the 1920s.

A tourist spot with lots of Chinese characteristics. Massive political statues ✅ Temples ✅ Local famous tea chain ✅ Gardens ✅ Famous residences ✅ A random tourist activity centre with buggies and caravans, and a shooting range ✅ A petit tram✅ What more could you want, it's a fun touristy day out. Getting There- It's easiest to get a taxi to the main car parks on the island. Then you'll need to walk or use the petit trams to navigate the island and its many tourist spots. There is a main island path and a prominade too. For the massive figure head you'll need to register to get in with your passport or/and QR code. You could spend an hour or a day here, but I would recommend an early start as the crowds can be quite big.

#lightthecity It was very hot when we went （we had to buy a manually powered fan for 25 yuan） and there were tons of people visiting so you have to queue up to wait but the lines are fast. You can walk the island yourself or take a tram. It is a few kilometers to walk and we were lazy so we took the tram. The highlight of the place is a giant statue of Young Mao. There is also a museum right by but it was closed. There are plenty of parks and other smaller attractions as well. Wish we would have spent a little more time here as there is a beach at the other end of the island that we missed. You can easily spend the bulk of the day here seeing all the different attractions. #lightthecity

Nice place to visit #tripaway #triplocal

2024 has passed, and this year was a grand poem I wrote with my camera. From Altay to Sayram Lake in Xinjiang, the vast beauty of the land and the deep tranquility of the lake are the majestic strokes of the opening chapter. The hustle and bustle of Xijie Street in Quanzhou and the ebb and flow of the sea weave the simplicity and romance of life. In front of the Yangpi Cave Waterfall in Guiyang, the splashing water freezes the majestic power of nature; at the Orange Isle in Changsha, the statue of the great man reflects the changing times; at the Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, the sunset outlines the vicissitudes of history. The porcelain of Jingdezhen tells the story of the inheritance of the thousand-year-old kiln fire; the autumn harvest in Huangling, Wuyuan, with its rich colors, paints a beautiful picture of the countryside. The autumn in Nanjing and Suzhou is poetic, with the falling leaves whispering the tenderness of time; the West Lake in Hangzhou, with its light and heavy makeup, is always suitable, and every inch of its ripples is full of the charm of Jiangnan. The characteristic buildings of Hefei show the unique charm of a modern city; Macau, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou, the hustle and bustle of the urban jungle, and the stories under the neon lights. The Guilin landscape of Yangshuo is like an ink painting, with the magic of nature; the Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan, with its wind, flowers, snow, and moon, flows with the breath of freedom; the ancient city of Lijiang, with its bluestone roads, echoes the footsteps of time; the Meili Snow Mountain, with its golden sunlight, is the sacred finale of this journey. This year, I measured the world with my camera, captured the wonderful moments with my shutter, and embraced the time and the mountains and rivers. Looking forward to 2025, let's start a new journey! Welcome the new year 2025 with fireworks~|

The mountains and rivers of Yangshuo, the Erhai Lake in Dali, the ancient city of Lijiang, and the Meili Snow Mountain, all the scenery along the way is captured.
