Changsha

Capital of Hunan and an internet-famous food city, full of energy with Yuelu Mountain, Orange Isle and Hunan-cuisine night markets.

Changsha lies in eastern Hunan on the lower Xiang River and is a famous historic and cultural city. Yuelu Mountain and Yuelu Academy are rich in culture, Orange Isle stands in the middle of the river, and the Hunan Museum holds relics from the Mawangdui Han tombs. Taiping Street and Pozi Street are great for sampling stinky tofu, rice noodles and Hunan cuisine, and the nightlife is lively. To the east, Liuyang is known for fireworks, and Dawei Mountain Forest Park is good for summer escapes and azalea viewing. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons, while summer is hot. The gateways are Changsha Huanghua International Airport and the high-speed rail hub at Changsha South Station.
