This is a theme park perfect for children. ⚠️ Parking is in the underground parking lot 300 meters away from Window of the World.
1. In the summer, be sure to wear sunscreen and bring plenty of food and water.
2. Must-try attractions include the Ferris wheel, the "Go Forward" ride, the "Pendulum Ride," and the roller coaster.
3. Some food stalls sell food, but they're quite expensive.
It's worth a visit. It's recommended to go at night because the sun is too strong during the day. However, the children had a lot of fun. The wild people of Malan Mountain had water splashing interactions, and they were still happy even if they got wet... The layout of the venue is a bit scattered, the signs are clear, and the waiting time for some projects is a bit long. It is recommended to inform tourists of the approximate waiting time and whether each project is open should also be clearly informed

It's worth a visit. There are different performances throughout the day. They're activities too, so you won't necessarily get bored just walking around and taking photos.
Changsha Huayi Brothers Film Town has its own unique narrative style among many cultural and tourism towns across the country. This is not only a real-life film location, but also a place of life aesthetics that deeply integrates "film IP" and "international culture". Among them, the "Italian Town Block" inspired by the movie "Fated" is particularly eye-catching. The film itself tells a love story across China and Italy, and in the construction of the town, Changsha has truly "built" this screen love into a real space that can be visited, lived in, and experienced.
When people come here, they can encounter street musicians on the steps of the "Assisi"-style mountain city, or sit on a gondola in the "Venice"-like water lanes and listen to the boatman's low singing; they can walk into a century-old Italian leather goods store and smell the blend of leather and time, or drink a cup of authentic Espresso in a traditional Italian coffee shop and chat with strangers about poetry and the distance.

The facilities throughout Fantawild are made of genuine materials and are well-maintained. The floor, in particular, is smooth but not slippery, which I really enjoyed. We visited all three parks, each with a different theme. They all featured games and performances, with real people, sound and light, animation, and immersive experiences. My favorite performance was the I Ching, and my favorite game was Fly With Me.
I bought a night show ticket and went in at 5pm. There were many empty parking spaces in the parking lot and not many people in the venue. Some projects were not open, and some projects (such as go-karts) required additional fees. There was no need to queue for roller coasters, Nuwa patching the sky, bumper cars, etc. There was a waterwheel parade at 6pm, and a water splashing festival performance at 8pm in the summer, which was very good.

Watching large animals (Sightseeing bus)
Elephant show & animal interaction

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.
1. Parent-child friendly
It is perfect to bring your kids here! The park is very user-friendly, with a special children's play area and popular science explanations. The children not only saw many cute animals such as tigers and elephants, but also fed giraffes and touched lambs in the interactive area, which made them very excited. There are abundant dining options in the park, and the prices are reasonable. The staff are enthusiastic and patiently answer the children's various "hundred thousand whys". It is definitely a treasure trove for parent-child travel!
2. Immersive experience
This is the first time I have seen such a "heartfelt" zoo! The exhibition area is designed very carefully to simulate the original environment of the animals. Rhinos roll in the mud and monkeys jump between vines, which is particularly immersive. There is also a nocturnal animal pavilion, with dim lights and realistic sound effects, as if you are really in the jungle. The park's guide APP can locate the animal's position in real time, and you can also listen to professional explanations, which is a full experience!
3. Cost-effective and facilities
The ticket price is very affordable. I didn't expect the park to be so large and full of animals! There are panda pavilions, aquariums, and bird areas. In the wild animal area, you can take a sightseeing bus to observe lions and brown bears up close. There are plenty of charging stations and rest benches in the park, the toilets are clean and odorless, and even the mother and baby room is fully equipped. You won't feel tired after a whole day of sightseeing. Highly recommended!

The amusement park is super fun. The ocean-style products I bought at the Whale Shop are super exquisite, including shell jewelry and dolphin dolls. The texture is good and the price is reasonable. The staff enthusiastically recommended it and I am very happy with my purchase.
I came to Happy Ocean Park. The weather was very hot, but the rides and exhibition halls were beautiful. The souvenirs I bought at the Whale Watching Shop were very cute and of great quality. My children also liked them. The staff were very friendly and welcoming as soon as we entered the store. I will definitely come again next time.

Recommended to visit, free reservation for admission, there are wax figures of Chinese and foreign celebrities, it is worth making an appointment to see. Warm reminder: there is a charge for sitting on the throne in the last room to take pictures
Great location that is for free. You get to see this and other museums that are located in different rooms and most are free of charge. A must visit while you are in Changsha!

This was my first time participating in a stage play with an audience. I was moved to tears throughout. The writing and acting were brilliant. Everyone's voices were vivid and full, as if I had been transported back to that era. What is our ideal? To ensure that the people have enough to eat? We must awaken. A strong youth makes a strong nation, and a prosperous youth makes a prosperous nation. Let the children participate in the whole process. I know that today's happy life is hard-earned.
It's okay, giving children a chance to experience and learn about a period of history, which is quite refreshing. However, the plot is a bit thin, and the protagonist, Runzhi, feels a bit distant from the audience. The later scenes are a bit disjointed and didn't ignite my emotions. Overall, it fell short of my expectations, and overall it wasn't as powerful, grand, and moving as the "Xi'an Incident" at Huaqing Pool in Lintong.

Teacher Zhong Ziqing's explanations were meticulous and captivating. Her words, like the gentle strokes of an oar, led us aboard a leisurely boat on the Xiangjiang River. The boat glided gracefully across the shimmering surface of the river, a river that felt like an unending river of history. As we journeyed upstream, time flowed: we seemed to witness the fortitude of Paleolithic ancestors grinding stones to make fire at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, passing by the dawn of civilization when Shang and Zhou bronze artifacts shone brightly in Ningxiang. We paused in the bustling streets of the Chu and Han dynasties, amidst the bustling streets of the Tang and Song dynasties, weaving through the bustling streets of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with their towering city walls and vibrant academies. This journey, spanning millennia, unfolded a magnificent historical canvas of Changsha, from its primitive beginnings to its heyday, allowing us to experience firsthand the turbulent rhythms of life and the endless pulse of its culture.
From June to October this year, Changsha Museum opened a new exhibition on the second floor, with the theme of "The Endless Yangtze River Rolling in" - a special exhibition of the Yangtze River and Chinese civilization. Sanxingdui, Liangzhu, Hemudu... bring together several major regional cultures in the Yangtze River Basin, showing the historical and cultural features from ancient times to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
