Day 1 History and Local Life 🎈In the morning, head straight to Yaowan Historical and Cultural Street. This thousand-year-old ancient street hides provincial-level cultural heritage sites like Tanbao Bus Station and Wangheng Pavilion, as if traveling back to ancient times. Tangxing Bridge and Taogong Mountain are also worth a visit. Walk and take photos along the way; the collision of vintage architecture and modern cultural creativity makes every shot full of feeling! 🌆In the afternoon, go to Wanlou Youth Wharf. Climb Wanlou to overlook the Xiang River, and next to it, the "Xiangtan Eye" Ferris wheel is super romantic. Especially at dusk, when the lights come on and the river breeze blows, the atmosphere is perfect! 🍜In the evening, dive into Liancheng Night Market, where the aroma of stinky tofu, sugar oil baba, and spicy hot pot fills the air. Bite after bite, fully experience the bustling life of Xiangtan. Remember to avoid peak hours to escape the crowds! Day 2 Red Memories and Natural Scenery 🚩Spend the whole day on a red tourism trip to Shaoshan. In the morning, visit Comrade Mao Zedong’s Former Residence and Mao Zedong Square, offer flowers to the great leader’s bronze statue, and deeply understand his growth story. In the afternoon, tour Dripping Water Cave Scenic Area and Shaofeng, explore the "mysterious villa" where Mao once lived, and stand atop Shaofeng to overlook the panoramic view of Shaoshan—majestic and stunning. Shaoshan is about an hour’s drive from the city center; it’s recommended to charter a car or join a local day tour for convenience and peace of mind. If you have enough time returning to the city, you can also visit the Xiangtan City Museum or the Party History Museum to unlock the city’s development secrets. Helpful Tips🌼 🚗Transportation: Taxis or buses are fine for city attractions; self-driving or chartering a car is more convenient for Shaoshan; Zhaoshan Scenic Area can be reached by bus or taxi. 🍱Food: Besides the night market, don’t miss Mao-style braised pork and roasted fish in Shaoshan, and the Xiangjiang Fish Feast near Wanlou! 🏠Accommodation: It’s recommended to stay near Yaowan or Wanlou on the first day for easy night outings; on the second day, you can choose a Shaoshan homestay or return to a city hotel. 📌Note: Remember to bring your ID card (real-name ticket purchase required for scenic spots), apply sunscreen, and wear comfortable shoes. Some venues are closed on Mondays, so check in advance before departure! Yueyang🌸 Attractions to Check In 📍Yueyang Tower: "Dongting Lake is the best water, Yueyang is the best tower." As one of the three famous towers in Jiangnan, Yueyang Tower’s historical charm and magnificent scenery are intoxicating. Climb the tower to take in the beautiful view of Dongting Lake. If you can recite "The Yueyang Tower Essay," you can even get free admission😉 The scenic area has many cultural and creative shops, and Yueyang ice cream is both visually appealing and delicious, perfect for photo check-ins. 📍Junshan Island: Known as the "Love Island," the island boasts beautiful scenery with spotted bamboo and the tomb of the two concubines. Strolling here feels like traveling back to ancient times, experiencing romantic legends and stories. It’s very convenient to reach by bus directly from Yueyang Tower. 📍Sheng’an Ancient Temple: One of the oldest temples in Yueyang, built in the early Tang Dynasty. Climb to the top of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda for a panoramic view of Yueyang city, which is refreshing and uplifting. The temple is bustling with incense and peaceful, allowing visitors to forget worries and feel spiritual tranquility. 📍Baling Square: The sculpture of Houyi shooting the serpent on the square is spectacular. Walking here at night, feeling the Dongting Lake breeze and enjoying the beautiful night view is very pleasant. Nearby Bianhe Street is lively with many snacks and specialty shops. 📍Nanhu Lake: A large park with stunning lake and mountain scenery. You can choose to take a boat to enjoy the lake view or cycle along the lakeside, enjoying a leisurely time and experiencing Yueyang’s slow life. 🍜Food Recommendations: 1. Yueyang Barbecue: Featured on "A Life of Skewers," truly well-deserved fame! Highly recommend the beef tallow and beef skewers; the tallow bursts with juice in your mouth, and the beef is chewy and super fragrant! Also try the potato slices, crispy outside and tender inside, sprinkled with chili powder—absolutely amazing. 2. Yueyang Rice Noodles: You must slurp a bowl of noodles when in Yueyang! Recommended are beef noodles and pig-killing noodles, with rich broth and fresh toppings. One slurp of the noodles makes you feel completely refreshed🍲 3. Changle Sweet Wine: Sweet but not greasy, mild alcohol flavor, rich taste, served ice-cold and very delicious, perfect as a dessert drink🥤 4. Pingjiang Sauce Dried Tofu: Firm and chewy texture, the more you chew, the more fragrant it gets. Available in original and spicy flavors, great as a snack! Changde🌸 📍Changde Old West Gate✅ (reachable by bus, free admission) A cultural tourism street based on Changde’s history, offering architectural features and cultural experiences, great for photos. There is also the Red Brick House Original Pot Dish Museum (now commercialized, can be viewed from outside). Without dining, you can walk through the entire street in about 30 minutes. 📍Changde Liuyue Lake✅ (reachable by bus h5/h16/y35/y26, free admission) Known as Hunan’s "Little Erhai Lake"🏝, it truly lives up to its name. Liuyue Lake under the warm autumn sun is stunning! It’s very large, with over 30 km around the lake, and not crowded—perfect for cycling and camping! You can visit Simalou, Huxian Island, and Changde Eye; enjoy Kale Planet and Beach Park sunsets🌅...! Pedal boats and electric sightseeing cars are available for rent. 📍Daxiaohe Street✅ (2.5 km from Liuyue Lake Service Center, accessible by taxi or bike) An ancient-style street by the river, not very long and quite commercialized. On the west side of Daxiaohe Street is a section of the city wall overlooking the street🌃, also offering views of the German-style street across the road. There are pigeons under the lower part of the wall, a popular spot to check in with Changde’s city wall. 📍German Style Street❎ (opposite Daxiaohe Street, 3 minutes on foot): Modeled after Hanover, Germany, this European-style town is not recommended even on my second visit to Changde. The street remains sparsely populated as five years ago, with incomplete business operations—only buildings without vitality. 🔅Tips: If you need accommodation, Wuling District is the first choice, convenient for visiting these attractions!

For those tired of the crowds in Changsha parks, this place will definitely refresh you with its beauty🫧 Stroll by the lake and feel the breeze, very relaxing~ ✅Zhuzhou City Museum: Near Shennong Lake, within walking distance.

However, the quality varies, so patience is needed to find good value items. 🍱Food: ✅Pig’s Trotter Rice behind Xingtong Shoe City: Small shop but authentic Cantonese flavor. The pig’s trotters are tender and flavorful, very satisfying with every bite! ✅Wang Shiwan Wenji Claypot Chicken: Highly recommended! When served, the oil in the claypot is still bubbling, full of "pot aroma."

Huaminglou Town is under the jurisdiction of Ningxiang City, Changsha City, and is located about 45 kilometers southwest of Changsha City. On this day, the fog was heavy, and the highway was closed, so we had to take the provincial road from Changsha to Huaminglou. The reason why we went to Huaminglou is that it is the hometown of former President Liu Shaoqi, which is now developed into the Liu Shaoqi Hometown Scenic Area, including the former residence, memorial hall, bronze statue square, cultural relics museum, Huaminglou, Xiuyang Pavilion, etc., with a total area of more than 1,200 mu. We arrived there before noon, the fog had dissipated, and it became cloudy, which was very suitable for outdoor sightseeing. The cultural square in front of Liu Shaoqi's hometown covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters, surrounded by nine 4-meter-high and 0.6-meter-diameter coiled dragon stone pillars. The gate of Liu Shaoqi's hometown is a paifang-style gate, which was completed in 1998. Unfortunately, Liu Shaoqi's hometown was closed to visitors because the bamboo and broken tree trunks crushed by ice and snow in the scenic area blocked the road and had not been cleaned up in time. Standing at the gate and looking inside, you can indeed see the messy scene. After leaving Huaminglou and driving 30 kilometers southwest, you will reach the hometown of another great man - Shaoshan Mao Zedong's Former Residence Scenic Area in Xiangtan City, which is currently part of the Shaoshan Scenic Area. Unlike Huaminglou, the roads and public places here have been cleaned up, and tourists from all over the world come here. If you make an appointment one day in advance, you can drive to the hotel in the scenic area, otherwise, you have to park in the parking lot of the visitor center, 10 yuan/24 hours. In the scenic area, there are many places to commemorate Chairman Mao, such as Mao Zedong's Former Residence, Mao Zedong Square, Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, Mao Zedong Life Exhibition Area, Chairman Mao's Cultural Relics Museum, Mao Zedong Family History Museum, and Mao Zedong Memorial Garden. Mao Zedong Square on New Year's Eve is the most passionate hotspot. Shaoshan and Huaminglou are 30 kilometers apart, and two chairmen were born in the same era, which is amazing. Hunan is worthy of being the cradle of revolutionaries.

Shaoshan, the hometown of great men, is the source of red that I admire in my heart. Stepping into Shaoshan, stories of past revolutions flooded in, and respect arose spontaneously. The red heritage here is profound, and Comrade Mao Zedong’s former residence quietly tells the story of the past. However, Shaoshan is not only red, it is like a colorful picture. Shaofeng peak towers into the clouds, like a giant guarding this land; Hongqi Reservoir is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland falling into the mortal world; the starry sky is bright, as if whispering to the earth. The integration of culture and tourism in Shaoshan is even more wonderful. The poem, sound, light and shadow scroll "Most Reminiscent of Shaoshan Chong" uses unique art to interpret a different style; the pop-up performance is full of energy and plays the movement of the new era. The transportation is convenient. Shaoshan South Station welcomes visitors from all directions, and the interlaced road network makes travel worry-free. The beautiful countryside is picturesque and the ecological livability is intoxicating. Shaoshan is attracting the world with its unique charm, perfectly integrating red heritage and diversified development, becoming an unforgettable tourist destination in people's hearts, making people linger and indulge in its unique charm.

Shaoshan Chong is a small village in Xiangtan County, Changsha City, Hunan Province, but it is famous for being the birthplace of Chairman Mao Zedong. Chairman Mao was born here, and people who love and admire him call this place "the place where the red sun rises," comparing Chairman Mao to the sun. Although this phrase originated in the fervent era of the last century, it truly expresses the place Chairman Mao holds in people's hearts. Chairman Mao has been gone for nearly half a century, yet the admiration for him, especially among those who lived through the last century, has not faded with time. On the eve of the Year of the Dragon (February 9, 2024), we made a special trip to Shaoshan to celebrate the New Year, undeterred by the icy and snowy obstacles set by the weather. The local government and people worked day and night to clear the snow and remove the branches and leaves broken by the ice and snow, preparing to welcome visitors from all directions. As night fell, the temperature gradually dropped to freezing, but people's enthusiasm for paying tribute to Chairman Mao continued to rise. People spontaneously gathered at Mao Zedong Square, converging towards the statue of Chairman Mao. The golden statue of Chairman Mao on the high platform gleamed under the lights, surrounded by baskets of flowers, and guarded by armed police officers. As the New Year approached, firecrackers and fireworks filled the air, and people carried flower baskets and queued up to present flowers in front of the statue of Chairman Mao, reaching a climax of excitement. That night, at least 20,000 people gathered at Mao Zedong Square to welcome the New Year. In Shaoshan, we stayed at Mao's Restaurant. The restaurant's chairman, Mrs. Mao, is 95 years old and is two generations older than Chairman Mao. When Chairman Mao returned to his hometown in 1959, he only entered her house. In the photo we took with her, she is the one holding a child. According to her, Chairman Mao had the people of the entire country in his heart and did not give any special favors to his hometown folks. This is why the people of Shaoshan feel that Chairman Mao is truly great.
