    Mount Heng (Nanyue) is best reached by those who prefer a leisurely pace. The bus ride to Nantianmen takes 45 minutes, where a sedan chair is available for 300 yuan (a price clearly stated by the scenic area). Hiking to the summit takes about an hour. There are many temples within the scenic area; you can pay respects to Buddha, Bodhisattvas, and the Great Emperor of Nanyue. The temples are all on the mainland and not difficult to access, making it suitable for families with children and parents.

    I checked the weather forecast and it was not very hot when I went there. It rained lightly in the morning and cleared up in the afternoon. You can play both outdoor and indoor activities. There were not many people and no groups, so basically you don't need to queue. I also rode horses, saw small animals, rode the Ferris wheel, and checked in for several experience projects. The children were 7 and 12 years old and they all had a lot of fun. It is a parent-child park worth recommending. Two adults and two children bought a parent-child ticket plus an adult ticket.

    For those seeking a less crowded and more relaxed zoo experience in China, the Changsha Ecological Zoo is an excellent choice. Its large, open grounds provide a comfortable environment for a day of family fun and animal encounters.One of the standout features is the safari bus, which offers a fantastic way to see many of the animals in a spacious, naturalistic setting. It’s a highlight that allows you to cover a lot of ground comfortably. We were also delighted to see two giant pandas, which were a definite treat.The zoo offers more than just viewing; the interactive experiences are highly engaging. We attended a memorable bird show where parrots danced, and one clever bird even performed simple math problems, amazing both children and adults. There are also several feeding events throughout the day. My daughter had a wonderful time feeding carrots to a llama, and we saw other opportunities to feed animals like elephants, though we didn't partake in that one. These interactive moments make the visit particularly special for kids.For visitors who might find the large park challenging to walk, the zoo thoughtfully offers small electric carts for rent. This is a great option for families with young children or elderly members, ensuring everyone can enjoy the park without getting too tired.Overall, the Changsha Ecological Zoo provides a wonderful, spacious, and interactive day out, free from the overwhelming crowds of zoos in other major cities.

    It's strange to even review the Xiang River as a tourist attraction here. Isn't the Xiang River everywhere in Changsha, Hunan? Orange Island is right in the middle of the Xiang River, and climbing Yuelu Mountain gives you a view of the Xiang River. Du Fu's River Pavilion is also on the riverbank. All the attractions are centered around the Xiang River. So, if you come to the Yangtze River and don't see the Xiang River, you're not even in Changsha. There's not much to see during the day, so it's better to enjoy the night view.

    The film town is modeled after the architecture of Venice, Italy, and the outdoor locations are excellent for photoshoots. There are also many performances scheduled on weekends and holidays. There are also a number of indoor entertainment options, but they're simple and commonplace. The gondolas are electric, seating four people per boat, and the ride takes about 15 minutes, circling the artificial lake and inland waterways east of the town. Because the view is low, taking photos from the bridge is better. Don't go if there are long lines on holidays.

    It incorporates new technological elements of the digital age, featuring sci-fi-like visual techniques and an aesthetically pleasing design. Ironically, Ctrip wanted to include photos in the reviews for interested individuals as a form of promotion. However, a strict no-photography rule was in place, which made me quite embarrassed…

    After navigating for 3 kilometers, I finally arrived at the Li Zijian Art Museum. It was a profound spiritual baptism and artistic edification. Black swans swam leisurely along the banks of the Xiang River, while I lay on the grass sunbathing, enjoying the tranquility. The space of the soul is humanity and love; the painter's pursuit of great goodness and love extends far beyond aesthetics.

    Yuelu Mountain is truly beautiful in autumn. I was the only one there for the 3:30 PM tour, enjoying the perks of a private tour. But the tour guide was incredibly attentive, providing a thorough and detailed explanation – a fantastic experience!

    Going at night offers a completely different experience than during the day, with the lighting effects creating a unique view. It's perfect for taking photos in traditional Chinese style, singing and dancing by the river—Hunan people really know how to have fun!
