Travel Notes | Changsha

A trip decided at last minute and everything prepared in a hurry. If there is anything exciting, it is the preparation on the eve of the trip, the enjoyment during the trip, and the company of the travel lover. This is a very leisurely trip, and it is also a foodie trip to explore all kinds of delicious food and Internet celebrity restaurants. Share what you saw, what you ate, and what you felt, for everyone’s reference, and also to leave a summary of good memories for yourself.

DAY 1 IFS-Super Wenheyou

07：55-10：50 Beijing-Changsha It cost 94 yuan to take a taxi from the airport to the hotel (Didi will be cheaper, you can take a taxi Didi)

[No. 238, Yingbin Road , Changsha Harbor Plaza Hotel]

The average hotel price is 477 per night. Although it is slightly expensive, the hardware facilities and location of the four-star hotel are excellent. It takes about 10-15 minutes to ride a shared electric scooter from the hotel to the business district. I highly recommend this hotel. And they will also give you two coupons for afternoon tea. On our last day, we sat for a while and drank some drinks in the afternoon while waiting to go to the airport.

[Cha Yan Yuese] The first stop must be Cha Yan Yuese, but the store we went to in the Wuyi Square business district had quite a queue, and we couldn’t order online through the mini program, so we had to wait for about an hour. .

[Guo Ya Ya] I was too thirsty while waiting for the tea to be delicious. This was also highly recommended in the guide I checked before, so I ordered it to try.

[IFS] Landmark shooting spot, 7 rooftop kaws, I think the queue is okay, not too many. I arrived at 2pm and waited. It probably took less than 1 hours, much faster than I expected ~In addition to kaws, there are other sculptures on the roof that you can take pictures of.

[Super Wenheyou] 4: It opens around 30. There are not many people there for about half an hour, and the wait for a table starts at 5:30. It is recommended to eat first and then take photos. It is completely useless to make an appointment with the public account an hour before. You can just go to the site and get the account directly. He will tell you which floor to go to. The food I feel is very average. The only thing I recommend is Tangyou Miao. It is the best one I have ever eaten (I did not eat the other famous ones). It is thin and thin. If you go there, you must order this.

There is a shop called "Laigangpai Shouganzi" on the third floor. The stinky tofu is delicious, but it's really spicy! It made me cry. It’s also the most delicious stinky tofu we’ve ever tasted (I also didn’t eat other famous ones, just casually bought in restaurants and on the roadside)

[MAMACHA] is also a milk tea shop recommended before, and we bought a cup of Guava Ruby. As for the taste, I think it’s actually pretty good! But Lao Feng thought it was just so-so. Maybe we were too full, but this one is not very sweet, so we can still try it once.

[Little Raccoon Seafood Takeaway] They only do takeout, we picked it up ourselves.

[Bianjing Fried Chicken] I think it is quite delicious, it tastes like curry. It's not the kind of crispy fried chicken, but it's quite fragrant. After taking one bite, you still want to eat more. It's still worth ordering a takeaway! Not very expensive either.

DAY2 Hunan University–Yuelu Mountain–One Lamp–Orange Island Head–Wonderland Doufu–Mozi Barbecue

[Hunan University] We rode a bike from the hotel, but it actually felt a bit far away. We might consider taking a car or taking a taxi. We didn’t go around Hunan University much. It’s not a closed campus, so we found the sign, took two pictures and left.

[Yuelu Mountain] Remember to make a reservation on the [Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area Entrance Reservation] applet before going. You can get it on the same day, which means you can save some time on admission. It’s totally fine to do it on the spot. The previous guide mentioned how to get to the south gate and east gate, so we didn’t pay much attention to it, so we entered through the south gate and queued up for the ropeway. We were a little late when we went there, probably 10: 20 arrived, 10: 30 arrived at the ropeway queue, and ticket sales have stopped. At this time, you can line up alone for the ropeway and alone for buying tickets. Tickets will be released at 11 o'clock . Once you have bought the ticket, you can go up first! You can get a discount on tickets with your student ID card.

The cable car is quite worth taking. Although the mountain is not very high, the scenery on the cable car is still very beautiful!

You can go down the mountain to ride the slide. We only stayed at the top of the mountain for about 10 minutes. Because we were too hungry, we just wanted to go down. At this time, there were not many people buying slide tickets. There is no student discount. But it is still highly recommended to take a seat! I find it very exciting and interesting. But be careful not to skate too fast and catch up with the people in front of you, so you can only skate slowly. I usually skate slowly on the straight, and then wait for the person in front of me to go through the curve, and then I skate the curve at high speed, which is very exciting! ! It’s not too fast and it’s fun ~

【One Light】The flavor is absolutely delicious, you must order it! ! I ended up soaking the duck paw tendons in the flower armor soup and eating it!

[Orange Island Head] We two lazy guys decided to take a battery car to the innermost part from the beginning. If we walked, we would have to walk for a long time, so we gave up decisively. Those who don’t buy student tickets can buy tickets directly online. Those who buy student tickets have to queue, but the queue is quite short. If you sit directly at the terminal and walk a little further, you can see the portrait of Grandpa Mao. Still very impressive! The sunset at Juzizhoutou is also very beautiful. If you can stay until the evening, it will be very romantic to watch the sunset.

[Taiping Old Street] is the usual snack street, but it is quite short and there are many people.

【Wonderland Bean Fu】

[Mozi Barbecue] Please be sure to get your reservation online in advance. Even if you pass the reservation, you can postpone it for three tables. Don’t believe the estimated time online. He told me that it was expected to be 20 minutes, but I actually waited for 3 hours, which was so confusing even for my children. But it’s still delicious, and there are also Little Red Book activities. Remember to participate! The event is on a promotional board inside the lobby counter where you are waiting! I saw it accidentally. You can ask the waiter after you sit down. No one took the initiative to tell me hum before I asked. But there seems to be a time limit. I forgot what date it is in September. Remember to check the time!

The golden cake he gave me was so sweet and delicious. If I hadn’t been unable to eat any more, I would have eaten them all for him! ! The pork belly is also amazing! Must order! ! (Remember to order your own lettuce)

DAY3 Xie Zilong Image Art Museum–Li Zijian Art Museum–Hunan Provincial Museum–Stir-fried yellow beef with cooking smoke

[Xie Zilong Image Art Museum] and [Li Zijian Art Museum] are very close to each other. It takes about five minutes to walk. Xie Zilong, who we went to first, opens at ten o'clock. We arrived at around nine o'clock. The main purpose here was to take pictures of the buildings outside. We didn't buy a ticket to visit.

Li Zijian made an appointment in advance on the official account. You can also make an appointment on the spot. After the appointment, you can directly swipe your ID card in. You can still see quite a lot of paintings here, so you can enjoy them.

Xie Zilong is really good at shooting!

[Xiaji Noodle Shop] The meatballs are really delicious, but I don’t particularly recommend going there because it just tastes like noodles.

[Hunan Provincial Museum] Highlights! You can make an appointment online three days in advance! Numbers are released at 1 o'clock every morning. For personal testing, you are fully guaranteed to have tickets before 7 o'clock in the morning on weekdays. You can make an appointment according to your own time. I don’t know if I can make an appointment on site. After all, it’s definitely no problem to make an appointment in advance. Basically, there is no need to queue. Overall, it’s quite shocking. I was still very hesitant about going there (after all, I’m not a person who loves history), but I was still shocked when I went to see it! The recommended order is 2 floor -3 floor -1 floor, because the 3 floor is connected to the 1 floor. A complete and larger Mawangdui ruins exhibition hall. If you go directly to the third floor first, you have to go to the second floor again.

[Stir-fried yellow beef with cooking smoke] Stir-fried yellow beef is the signature! A must! I think the tofu and roast duck are just average, but I don’t want to order either one. I still don’t recommend the taro ribs. After all, it’s weird that something sweet suddenly appears in a salty dish. The table next door looked like a local, so I ordered the signature fish and dried cauliflower, which looked quite delicious! If you have a chance, try these two!

[Master Shao’s Pork Pancake with Plum and Cabbage] It’s sweet. To be honest, I don’t particularly recommend it. It depends on personal preference.

DAY4 Shrimp and Dragon-Go Home

[Shrimp Xiaolong] Soymilk activity was on the flyer on the table, and I saw it accidentally. Personally, I think it can still be done. After all, crayfish is very spicy after eating, so you can drink soy milk to relieve the spiciness.

[The color of tea is pleasing to the eye]

Leave a space alone to talk about the beauty of tea.

It’s so famous that no one who goes to Changsha doesn’t drink it. Without further introduction, let’s talk about what I recommend.

[Orchid Latte] is indeed the signature one. I feel that other ones with cream are not as delicious as this one, so just drink it and that's it.

[Oolong] I drank pirated drinks in Sanlitun. It’s hard to describe the pirated ones. So when I drank the genuine version, I was really surprised. It was very refreshing and I wanted to drink a second cup.

[Zheng Zheng Zhi Yuan] also surprised me, you can try it

[Youth] is a new product, and it feels quite refreshing. You can give it a try!

[Guo Ya Ya] Although I only drank a cup while waiting for the tea to be beautiful, it really surprised me! I ordered the super fleshy peach, which has a really strong peach flavor and a lot of peach pulp! And it’s not sweet at all, it’s very filling haha. Friends who want to drink fruit tea can choose this one ~

【other】

Remember to wear sunglasses, sunscreen, and a parasol, it’s too hot! ! ! Sunglasses can be worn when riding an electric bike, which is quite useful.

There are shared electric bicycles all over the streets in Changsha, which are very convenient and it’s not far from anywhere. but! Very dangerous. The mixed traffic of non-motorized vehicles and motor vehicles in Changsha frightened both of us. It is recommended to travel under Hello in advance. Hello’s electric vehicles and Meituan’s electric vehicles are relatively new, while Didi’s Qingju is average.

Basically, people in Changsha don’t wear masks anymore. Only about three or five people on the road wear them. However, you must wear them when entering museums and so on, so it is recommended to have a mask in your bag~

【specialty】

The bacon and sausages we chose were from the Tangrenshen brand. The driver recommended it to us when we were taking Didi. He said that locals eat this brand and you can buy it at Carrefour~

The salesperson of these two brands, [Xiang Meizi] and [Authentic Hunan], recommended them!

Spicy Prince’s spicy strips are really spicy! !

I haven’t tried them all yet. After I try them, I will share my thoughts in the comments!
