The ultimate walking experience in Changsha! Stay at Howard Johnson and walk to Moon Lake, the evening breeze and lights are so beautiful you won’t want to leave!

Who gets it! Stayed with my girlfriend at Howard Johnson Changsha South Station, originally just wanted to find a place for a walk, but accidentally unlocked the “no rush, leisurely stroll” perfect route. Enjoying the lake breeze and lights at night is 100 times more comfortable than squeezing into tourist spots! Staying here makes going to Moon Lake super convenient, no need to hassle with transportation! Two routes tested and perfect for walkers, just copy: 1. Leisurely walkers: Exit the hotel lobby, walk north along Huahou Road, cross 2 traffic lights, then turn onto Wanjiali Middle Road. The whole route is about 1.8 km, taking 25 minutes to reach the East Gate of Moon Lake Park. Along the way, there are convenience stores and small tea shops. If tired, buy a cold drink and rest a bit. Chatting and strolling with your girlfriend is more enjoyable than taking a car; 2. Lazy walkers: Scan a shared bike at the hotel entrance, 10 minutes to get there. Along the way, you can see Changsha’s evening street scenes. Near the park, you’ll spot wildflowers by the roadside. My girlfriend casually took a cycling photo and got asked about the location right away when posting it online; Once at Moon Lake, you realize how healing an evening walk can be! Walking along the lakeside path, the evening breeze carries the scent of fresh grass, lotus leaves float on the water, and distant lights reflect on the surface like scattered stars. My girlfriend and I found a stone bench to sit quietly, no need to rush or take check-in photos. Even she, who usually scrolls on her phone, couldn’t help but say, “This is what vacation feels like.” Heading back after 9 pm is super safe. Whether biking or walking, the streetlights are bright all the way. Back at the hotel, grab some hot marinated snacks downstairs, take a hot shower, and collapse on Howard Johnson’s soft mattress— all the day’s fatigue disappears. Big shoutout! Now when you post on social media about Howard Johnson Changsha South Station, you can get a late checkout. The next day, it’s just a 10-minute walk to catch the high-speed train. Perfect for couples’ walks or business trips to rest!
