🏯✨Among the few old streets in Changsha, the historical district of Chaozong Street has long been revitalized. It is no longer the dilapidated old street it once was. In the internet-famous Changsha, it seems there is nothing that cannot be given the attributes of an internet sensation. Nowadays, it has become a must-visit old street for many young people coming to Changsha. 🏯✨However, the Chaozong Street area is not just a single old street; it is a collective name for many old streets in the vicinity. If you ask me which one I like the most, I would definitely tell you it is Liansheng Street. When you walk past the main street and into the small alleys on either side, you will find that it is different from the glamorous check-in points outside. The alleys are filled with weathered old houses and old walls, and these ancient buildings are the strongest spiritual core of this place. 🏯✨This small alley hides countless warm memories of the past. The small homes with their lights on by the alley are real and gentle. Occasionally, you may meet an old lady returning home with groceries. When the elderly lady walks with her faltering steps into the alley, perhaps only they know more stories about this old street. The small vendors by the street also fill this alley with a strong sense of everyday life. Occasionally, when you look up, you see clothes full of the scent of sunshine hanging on the clotheslines in front of the doors. It is these myriad aspects of life that enrich this old street that has been quiet for many years. Location: Chaozong Street, Changsha, Hunan

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Chinese Internet celebrity cities Changsha is a popular city with abundant tourism resources. This year's Easter suddenly decided to go fast, fortunately the high-speed rail ticket time is not bad 1️⃣Depart from Zhuhai at around 10 am, and take the high-speed train directly to The first choice is hotels near Wuyi Square and Taiping Old Street. It is very convenient to go to popular attractions⛩️ and buy souvenirs🛍️ ➡️Experience the freedom of crayfish as soon as you arrive ➡️After that, I participated in the recently popular Magic Comedy and immersed myself in the Changsha talk show. Four actors took turns to perform on stage, each with their own style. The host was also very interesting. The 68 yuan ticket was worth it. ➡️After visiting Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street + May Day Square, you will never miss the Cha Yan Yue Se that can be seen everywhere🥤 On the way back to the hotel, you can experience a night tour of Taiping Old Street, taste the old Changsha stinky tofu 🍲, or have a midnight snack nearby. The Jia Yi Ancient Residence on the old street is free to visit. If you have time during the day, you can walk around. 2️⃣The next day, go to Hunan University to visit Yuelu Academy, then walk 100 meters directly from the south gate to check in at Aiwan Pavilion, and climb up Yuelu Mountain if you have enough energy⛰️ ➡️In the afternoon, we went to Chaozong Street, a very new tourist spot, the most complete stone slab street block in Changsha, with some cultural and creative stalls, but to be honest, it is not much different from Lingnan Xintiandi in Foshan and Shanghai Xintiandi ➡️If you didn’t visit Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street enough on the first day, you can go along the way, spend some time to visit Baiguoyuan Lane, and have dinner on the way to Pozi Street. You must eat Holiland’s cheesecake 🍰, which is beautiful and delicious Important points to remember: 💡You must make an appointment before visiting attractions. For example, although Yuelu Academy has on-site tickets, it is really smooth to buy tickets in advance and scan the code to enter the academy. 💡Hunan Provincial Museum is very worth visiting, but the itinerary was decided in a hurry and the regular exhibition was full when I made the reservation 💡May Day Square, Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street, Taiping Old Street, Big Snacks, and IFS are all on the same road, so don't bother taking the subway, it's also good to walk 💡There are two cultural and creative shops near Aiwan Pavilion that sell special postcards, but don’t buy stamps there. On the way back to Hunan University, there will be a special post office where you can buy stamps at the original price. There are also many commemorative stamps to choose from. 💡I think the night view of Du Fu Jiangge should be very beautiful. If you have enough energy, you can add it to the itinerary. 💡I didn’t feel unsafe in Changsha. There were a lot of people and it was very lively. I also saw girls traveling alone like me. But it’s common sense to be careful with your money and not walk alone at night. 💡When traveling alone, you need to pay attention to the safety of your accommodation. It is very important that the hotel entrance is on the street‼ ️

When traveling to Changsha, staying in a high-rise city view hotel is a must! This time, I found a hidden gem - LAi Aparthotel, which is close to Wuyi Square. 🏙️ As a new design-style apartment hotel, it perfectly interprets the travel philosophy of "less is more"! From ISEYA in Chengdu to TOWNPLACE in Hong Kong, these youthful apartments always bring surprises, and the experience at LAi Aparthotel is even more impressive: spacious, exquisite, and lazy-friendly, it is simply tailor-made for urban players! ✨ The city view room type has a view of IFS International Finance Center, but the room size is the same as the street view room type! The space is large enough for you to DIY: electric double-layer roller blinds, ample storage cabinets, and a 3-meter-long desk, with details that are both beautiful and practical! From the butler to the cleaning staff, the service is so attentive that it feels like staying at a friend's house! Compared to the standardized service of some chain hotels, this place has a more "real" warmth. 📍 The apartment is an 8-minute walk from Furong Square Subway Station on Line 2, with direct access to Shenzhen North Station, Orange Isle, and Yuelu Mountain. Night owls will be thrilled - there is a night market and rice noodle street downstairs. If you want to go for a city walk, there are many places to check in nearby, such as Chaozong Street, Pozi Street, Taiping Old Street, Wuyi Square, Fengying Xili, and Duzheng Street. ⚠️ Key points: With a relatively convenient location, quiet environment, and good facilities, it is recommended for young people or families. There are plenty of room types and rooms available, and LAi Aparthotel is definitely cost-effective!

A small surprise I recently found in Changsha! It is located on Chaozong Street and is called (Luju 108). I came to this restaurant 3 times a week with npy. The design of the detached house is very stylish!! Original wood tables and chairs, warm lighting, and the kind that can be photographed at any time~ We ordered a table and everything was delicious! The dishes were very delicate, and the various pastries were also good! You can eat very well with only 40 or 50 yuan per person! Very suitable for gathering with girlfriends after the New Year

✨Nong Xiaoxian: It was already noon when we arrived at Changsha South, so we went straight to eat at a Hunan restaurant on Chaozong Street. The dishes were rich in variety. We ordered three dishes and both of us ate until we were full. The portions of dishes in Changsha are really big. The fried beef is the most recommended of the three dishes, and you can order it spicy or not. If you have friends in your group who don’t eat spicy food, just order this! The chicken feet are also delicious, very fresh, super soft and sticky, and the bones fall off when you suck them. They are not pre-prepared dishes! ! ! I personally feel that the Mapo Tofu is just so-so, so I won’t comment on it. The boss was very nice and gave us a charcoal stove for heating in cold weather! (cost 87💰) ✨Tianma Shisidong Home Cooking: This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend and it feels pretty good! Must order the fairy chicken! The taste is very smooth, the meat is very tender and not dry, and it goes well with rice when dipped in the sauce! ! ! I think their golden egg is also delicious. I ate two thirds of it by myself hahaha! Since we had three dishes on the first day, two people were too full, so these two were just right~ (cost 89💰) ✨Xia Ji Noodle Shop: I ordered a meatball noodle and a shredded pork noodle. I wanted to eat something light in the morning. The soup base is a very fragrant bone soup. The signature dish is the meatball noodle. Each bowl has 5 meatballs, which are tender and delicious, soft and chewy, not greasy. It’s really nice to have a bowl of hot meat in the morning! It is a more authentic Changsha noodle shop, and I saw many locals taking away their food! (cost 26💰) ✨Momo Dim Sum Bureau: Recommend coffee mochi! The taste is soft and sticky, and you can't stop eating it at all~ (cost 26💰) ✨Black Classic: Authentic stinky tofu, which is really different from what we usually eat. The tofu inside is tender and super delicious. Recommended! (Cost 206) The Three Treasures Set includes sausage, stinky tofu, and sugar-coated rice cakes, which is also a good deal! (cost 30💰) ✨Chayan Family: Chayan Yuese with Orchid Latte and Shengsheng Oolong, Good Lemon with Love Tiger Oil and Greedy, Day and Night Bistro with Muggle Butter World ❤️Xiaoyi's thoughts: Kids can set their birthdays for the next day the day before, and they can have a free cup of Cha Yan the next day. Regular-priced drinks will earn points, which can be redeemed for some small peripherals~ I only spent 4r to buy a fridge magnet, it's a good deal

Day 1: I arrived in Changsha at noon, took a short rest at the hotel, put on some beautiful makeup 💄, and went straight to the Cha Yan Yue Se 🥤 that I had been thinking about, to satisfy my "milk tea addiction" first. We headed to Orange Island at around 5 o'clock. There were quite a lot of people there at that time 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, but we brought our cameras and took photos all the way. The photos we took were very atmospheric and very photogenic 📷. In the evening, I also made an appointment with a local photographer sister to record the night scene of Changsha with a Fuji camera. The effect is absolutely amazing👏. Day 2: Sleep until you wake up naturally and start a leisurely day. First, I went to Kaifu Temple to feel the tranquility and solemnity of the ancient temple, listen to the long bell sounds, and purify my soul. After coming out of Kaifu Temple, I wandered to Chaozong Street and found a very stylish shop on the street to enjoy an exquisite afternoon tea ☕. The entrance of this shop is a holy place for taking photos, and every shot you take will give you the feeling of a blockbuster movie 📸. After enough rest, I went straight to IFS, took a photo with the internet celebrity "KAWS" sculpture, and checked in Changsha's landmark building🏙. I went to the commune in the evening. It was very lively inside, with fun projects one after another. I had a lot of fun with my friends. I kept regretting why I didn’t come here earlier last night🤣. The weather in Changsha these days is pretty good. The sun is scorching during the day 🌞 and the temperature is quite high, but there is a cool breeze at night. The temperature difference is a bit big, so remember to bring a spare jacket 🧥. I can sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and then go out to explore the city leisurely in the afternoon. It is comfortable and cozy. It is simply a model of "Buddhist tourism". It perfectly avoids crowds and is much more relaxing than "female college student special forces tourism" 😎.

Travel time: mid-November Shooting equipment: VIVO X100ultra with selfie stick, Bluetooth shutter Photo editing: Meitu Xiuxiu The purpose of the trip is to take portraits, so my posts are mostly about people. I would like to recommend some photo poses and angles for your reference. I will truly express my personal opinions on the various check-in spots recommended by Internet celebrities Help everyone avoid thunder If there are any inappropriate words, it is just a personal opinion. If you don't like it, please don't criticize, thank you very much) I arrived in Changsha at 10 am and checked in directly. The room was booked by my bestie for over 100 yuan a night. It was located on the very busy Wuyi Avenue, next to the subway and Chaozong Street. The room is a large open space with two double beds in a tatami style. The living room in the middle is very spacious, suitable for tourists with a lot of luggage. The bathroom is also large, but it has a squat toilet. After a 5-minute walk, we arrived at the commercial street to have lunch at "Ben Luobo" recommended by my bestie. Many locals come here to eat. The entrance is very small but the second floor is very large, and the dishes are generally very cheap. After dinner, I went to IFS across the street to check in, and took the elevator directly to the top floor, which was full of young ladies taking photos and checking in. Then I walked for more than 20 minutes to Fengyingxili There are more boutiques here, as well as City Walk, which is very popular among young people. There are also many cultural and creative shops, which are very suitable for taking photos and checking in. In the evening, we walked back to Chaozong Street. Because there were too many people, we checked in directly to the night market. I chose a relatively large "Sifangping Night Market" The next morning at 9 o'clock, we crossed the road and came to Chaozong Street to take pictures. It was basically a private photo shoot, and there were not many people. Then I took a taxi to Orange Island. You can take a taxi or take the subway. It is recommended to buy tickets for the small train The hiking distance is also OK, and there are many people taking photos and checking in. Afterwards, we took the subway back to Wuyi Square and chose a restaurant recommended by the Internet. To be honest, the taste was average because many of the dishes were not very hot. In the afternoon, we returned to IFS and checked in at the Changsha Mosaic Wall This place is not particularly easy to find. We asked 3 security guards before we found it. Finally, I have to mention the Changsha milk tea shop ~ "Cha Yan Yue Se". This brand is only sold in the south and not in the north. The cultural and creative industry chain they have created is very large and distinctive, and is a must-bring souvenir when visiting Changsha. There are also many themed check-in specialty shops where you can take photos. Before leaving, we made a group purchase at a foot massage shop in May Day Square. It costs more than 100 yuan per person including meal, unlimited fruit drinks and soup. The product actually has a fixed consumption price per person, and then consumption is made. Basically, each person pays the price of two sets of meals.

This is really a small shop that you only want to bring your girlfriends to eat at! ! It’s on Chao Zong Street (📍Slow), I go there three or four times a week... You can choose according to your personal taste, and it’s very relaxing to go alone! ! ! The atmosphere at night is really great... The price is very affordable! There are also rich varieties, including various grilled birds, brunch, and craft brews... Lychee pork belly, pineapple beef ribs, and scallion chicken thighs are all delicious! !

🏙️ 🏙️ 🏙️ If you don't visit Chaozong Street, you haven't visited Changsha. Chaozong Street is one of the four ancient stone streets left from the Yongzheng period of the Qing dynasty.

I tried their pork chop buns at Chengnan Bread Festival last week! It’s really delicious! I happened to go to the city last night 🚔 and went to their store for a meal 😋 They are located in Chaozong Street / next to Modern Korean Restaurant / selling bread during the day and wine at night. It's quite interesting hhh🕐Open until 11pm and close early after buying everything It should be that the newly opened shop suddenly became popular in summer🔥But I think it’s worth it/it’s really delicious👀Their buns are very soft😋But the puff pastry is made very well‼ ️It is still very crispy after leaving it overnight / It is recommended to re-bake it before eating for a more fragrant taste Don’t be fooled by the fact that their products are not particularly large 👇 They taste really solid‼ ️It’s enough to make a meal Now I have not tried the King Cake and Oh Ho Tart 😭 You really have to grab the hot-selling items or they will be gone in a moment.

This hotel is really worth it! The whole hotel is located on Chaozong Street! It's just a few minutes' walk to Wuyi Square, and it's very convenient to go anywhere! I recommend the bathtub 🛁 cinema suite, which is very large and spacious, and has a separate bathtub for bathing. The ceiling is decorated like a starry sky, which is very romantic! The hotel has a bar on the first floor, and guests are given complimentary drinks. It's nice to have a drink at night. The service is also very good, with luggage delivery, laundry and drying, and photography services! My boyfriend said he would stay here again next time.
