A day trip to Tanger

A day trip to Tangerine Island in Changsha: The poetry of the city carved by the red stone in autumn When it comes to Changsha, the first must-visit place is Tangerine Island - the landmark-level city core with both historical and natural beauty! This time, I took advantage of the crisp autumn air to feel the charm of Orange Island: Mao Zedong Youth Statue stands at the head of the island, red stone carvings complement the blue sky and white clouds, the autumn atmosphere and the long river water, strong sense of age but still youthful vitality, really feel the thickness of the city. Orange Island highlights 📍Orange Island Youth Mao Zedong Statue: As the most striking cultural landmark of Orange Island, the giant statue soars into the sky, with hands in your pockets looking into the distance, which is very exciting. The fallen leaves in autumn are paired with red petroglyphs, which is an unbeatable photo spot! 📸 Stone Carving Culture Wall: There are many red stone carvings along the river in Tangerine Island. 🌳Riverside natural scenery: Orange Island is the Yangtze River water on one side, and the green trees on the other side. 🚶♂️ Trail & Night View: During the day you can walk slowly, lie on the grass and watch the blue sky and white clouds; at night, it is recommended to stay down, the entire island along the river lighting decoration, a special romance. Trip tip sharing 1. If you want to enjoy the Mao Zedong statue up close, it is recommended to go early to avoid the peak of crowds and no one in the camera for taking pictures. 2. Orange Island is large area, it is recommended to wear sneakers, staying in a nearby hotel is more convenient, riding a bicycle along the river is super comfortable. 3. Sunny every day in autumn (good weather times): Bring an umbrella and sunscreen, grass sunbathing is great but beware of UV rays. 4. Orange Island is conveniently located, directly accessible from Orange Island Station on Metro Line 2. 5. To facilitate trip arrangements, it is recommended to check the opening hours of the scenic spot, with temporary changes at the end of October each year (opening hours 11:00–22:00 on October 26). Quick Check of Practical Information - Address: No. 2, Juzizhou Head, Yulu District, Changsha City, Hunan Province - Opening hours: January 1 – October 25 07:00 – 22:00; Food recommendations After leaving Orange Island back to the city, it is recommended to try the surrounding Changsha authentic delicacies, such as Wenheyou shrimp powder and stinky tofu.
