[2025 Changsha Hotels] Travel Guide for Empty Space (Updated Jul)

Changsha is a city adored by young people, brimming with vibrant entertainment and lifestyle—a hotspot even celebrities love to visit! This time, I traveled alone with my sister and found this homestay on Trip.com. With its white house, spiral staircase, and towering tree, it’s a minimalist and cozy retreat. We immediately chose this homestay called Kongkong Living Room, located in Chaozong Street. Chaozong Street is a trendy, artistic district blending fashion and culture. After taking a taxi from the high-speed rail station to the entrance of Chaozong Street, it’s about a 10-minute walk to the homestay. The stone-paved alleys make dragging luggage a bit tricky, but the area is dotted with unique little shops, making the stroll enjoyable. And yes, there’s a "Hey Tea" shop every few steps—truly a Changsha specialty! Kongkong Living Room is nestled in a quiet, secluded alley. The staff warmly helped with our luggage to the upstairs room, where floor-to-ceiling windows offered lush green views. The courtyard features a grassy lawn and a massive Chinese wingnut tree, with a white spiral staircase winding around it. Two white cottages flank the lawn—one a café, the other the homestay—both decorated in a simple yet chic French style. Celebrities like Bai Jingting, Tan Jianci, Yu Shuxin, Zhang Binbin, and Sa Beining have filmed here, drawing flocks of fans to visit and boosting its fame. Location: Kongkong Living Room has two branches—one in Chaozong Street and another near IFS. The Chaozong Street location is at No. 24, Qunsheng Lane, Chaozong Street, Tongtai Street, Kaifu District, Changsha, just 85 meters from the historic Chaozong Street and 767 meters from Wuyi Square. Surroundings: The homestay is conveniently located near popular attractions and shopping districts like Pozi Street Food Plaza, Wanda Plaza, and Changsha IFS, making it easy for visitors to explore and enjoy the city.

Today I checked in at this celebrity-style "Empty Living Room" B&B. As the name suggests, the house is empty but not monotonous. Every detail is full of design sense that can be seen with the naked eye. A single-family pure white house in Chaozong Street 🏡. Outside the window is a vibrant and green tree 🌳. The sun shines down and the shadows of the trees dance. Accompanied by the birds singing, my heart is also particularly peaceful here.

😎 I found a super special homestay - Kongkong Living Room Homestay (Wuyi Square Chaozong Ancient Street Branch). 📍 It is located at No. 24 Qunshengli, Chaozong Street, Tongtai Street, Kaifu District. Hidden in the bustling city, it has a unique tranquility. 🌿 The homestay is a French-style independent courtyard building. The lobby has romantic French arches and simple and elegant furniture. The blank space is matched with artistic bonsai, giving guests plenty of creative space. The "living room" has a smart toilet, a full set of L'Occitane toiletries, as well as vintage furniture, large floor-to-ceiling windows, and a large projection screen, which is a luxurious enjoyment. All 11 rooms have large floor-to-ceiling windows with excellent lighting, and the interior is transparent and layered, making it feel like home. 🌳 Walking through the stone road alley of Chaozong Street, push open the white fence, and the independent building and spiral staircase surround the big tree, which is visually refreshing. There is a century-old maple tree in the yard, dividing the two houses and bringing a wonderful feeling.💕

It is a combination of an old house and a century-old maple tree. It is a homestay, coffee, and shooting space.. As Wenwen, the designer of Kongkong Guesthouse, said: "In the central city of old Changsha, there is such a delicate, comfortable, and not crowded place. You can have a pot of tea with your friends in your spare time, accompanied by birdsong and breeze, and talk about what you see and love. That's enough." The two days and one night I stayed in Kongkong seemed to have really gained the long-lost comfort of quietness in this space. Two white houses, a century-old maple tree, spiral staircase, and lush grass in January... The coffee aroma and grassy smell in the air are mixed. Sunbathe, blow the breeze, chat with friends, and go out and shuttle freely in the alleys. This is probably the meaning of a short trip to Changsha.
