Things to do in Linxiang

A place with high cost performance, cool in summer, Chinese food is in the scenic area, good quality and cheap, 300 yuan can eat 10 dishes, too cheap, and the taste is also great, all finished

Yueyang Tower, one of the four great ancient towers of my country, stands majestically on the shore of Dongting Lake, inspiring awe in visitors throughout history. Unfortunately, when we arrived in the afternoon, it was raining, and by evening, visibility was poor, greatly diminishing the view.

1. A half-day tour of Wujianshan Forest Park on May 9, 2021. Enter from the East Gate and drive straight for one or two kilometers to the parking lot at the gate of the scenic area. Walk in and walk to the Forest of Steles (on the left) and you can climb up (do not continue along the road at this time). It will take about 20 to 30 minutes to climb the winding steps to the top of Yunlin Temple. It's a pity that Yunlin Temple has not been completed. 2. If you have good physical strength, you can walk along the asphalt road after entering the gate. You will pass a Taoist temple and walk for about an hour to a fork. At this time, choose the left and walk towards Yunlin Temple. It will take about half an hour to reach the entrance archway of Yunlin Temple. You can see Yunlin Temple after walking for a few minutes after the archway. You can overlook the entire Linxiang city at Yunlin Temple, and the scenery is good.

Cars couldn't be driven in, so we had to park outside. The weather was cool when we went, and only two pandas were eating and playing; the others were all sleeping. The 9D cinema wasn't good; it only lasted a few minutes. I recommend choosing the ice and snow exhibit instead.

Unless you want a history of the area, I would highly recommend that you just purchase a ticket and go at your own pace. It was nice to break away from the massive crowds and go find some solitude

This was one of the easiest yet the most scenery activity we’ve done so far. There’s so many things you can do while you’re here. As soon as you enter, it’s not far until you see the glass bridge. No need for a long walk to see the glass bridge. Highly recommend!!

Orange Island is a bit of a mixed experience, and I'm honestly not entirely sure whether I'd consider it a must-visit in Changsha.It's a large, green, and pleasant park, with beautiful riverside views and plenty of space for walking. If you enjoy places with historical significance or simply want to experience a different side of the city, it's definitely worth considering.Most visitors seem to take the sightseeing train to the southern end of the island, where the famous Mao Zedong statue is located. That's also where you'll find plenty of people taking photos, so don't expect a particularly quiet experience.The main downside is that visiting the island takes quite a bit of time, especially if you want to explore it properly. And while it's certainly a nice place, I'm not sure the experience justifies spending several hours here if you have a limited amount of time in Changsha and other places you'd like to see.On the other hand, if you're simply looking for a relaxing walk through a green park, with opportunities to stop by the river and enjoy the scenery, it's a lovely option.Overall, I'd say it's worth visiting if you have some extra time or are particularly interested in Chinese history. Otherwise, I wouldn't necessarily put it at the very top of your Changsha itinerary.

The Three Gorges Dam is magnificent and impressive. The 35 yuan bus ticket is mandatory! The sightseeing bus inside isn't necessary; it only takes a short walk to the dam. The scenic area is quite nice, and parking is inexpensive. On the way back, you can take National Highway 348 to enjoy the scenery.

The rooms are clean and tidy, offering great value for money. The facilities are complete, and the breakfast is plentiful and buffet-style. It's very close to the river, just a short walk away. Highly recommended for tourists!
