    I visited Yueyang Tower several decades ago when I was in college. Now retired, I returned this spring and recited, "It embraces distant mountains, swallows the Yangtze River, vast and boundless," which was still very pleasant. Senior citizen tickets have improved the cost-effectiveness of sightseeing for seniors!

    The only one of China's four ancient academies still in operation is located on the Hunan University campus. Currently, it serves as the classroom for history and archaeology-related departments. Having withstood the test of several dynasties and wars, it has stood the test of time. This place has nurtured many scholars, writers, and politicians. Walking along the paths and corridors once trodden by historical figures, one can feel the rich history of its past prosperity – well worth a visit. The tour guide was attentive and provided excellent explanations, offering in-depth narratives of the various historical sites. The explanations were captivating, making the visit feel like a personal experience, leaving a lasting impression and making it well worth the trip. 👍

    We spent eight hours there and still couldn't get enough. The facilities are new, the scenery is beautiful, there aren't many people, the lines aren't long, there are shows to watch, and the food is affordable. Hunan TV is right next to it, and when we got out at almost 10 pm, we still had food at Pizza Hut, and it was only 40 yuan per person, plus gifts. I highly recommend planning a full day with your kids to have fun!

    This is a mountain you don't need to climb. The entire 8-kilometer trail follows a gentle walk along the winding cliff face, offering spectacular views and a breathtaking view of the towering mountain pillars! It's a natural landscape of the Lingnan Mountains, a masterpiece of nature! It would be even better if the ticket package was a bit cheaper!

    Claimed to be the largest private art museum in China, it houses oil paintings by Mr. Li Zijian, mainly depicting figures and scenes, with the theme of promoting national culture. It is likely used as a window for external publicity.

    I'll definitely be back with my kids next time. This place is perfect for a family outing. After entering the park, my kids had so much fun that I couldn't stop them. They were wearing the little dinosaur costumes provided by the scenic area and paraded around the scenic area. They were so cute. The special effects in the scenic area were also very good, with petals, bubbles, smoke, and flames. It was really well-made. With so much fun for just one ticket, it's no wonder they say it's a "must-see"! It's definitely worth it!

    For those seeking a less crowded and more relaxed zoo experience in China, the Changsha Ecological Zoo is an excellent choice. Its large, open grounds provide a comfortable environment for a day of family fun and animal encounters.One of the standout features is the safari bus, which offers a fantastic way to see many of the animals in a spacious, naturalistic setting. It’s a highlight that allows you to cover a lot of ground comfortably. We were also delighted to see two giant pandas, which were a definite treat.The zoo offers more than just viewing; the interactive experiences are highly engaging. We attended a memorable bird show where parrots danced, and one clever bird even performed simple math problems, amazing both children and adults. There are also several feeding events throughout the day. My daughter had a wonderful time feeding carrots to a llama, and we saw other opportunities to feed animals like elephants, though we didn't partake in that one. These interactive moments make the visit particularly special for kids.For visitors who might find the large park challenging to walk, the zoo thoughtfully offers small electric carts for rent. This is a great option for families with young children or elderly members, ensuring everyone can enjoy the park without getting too tired.Overall, the Changsha Ecological Zoo provides a wonderful, spacious, and interactive day out, free from the overwhelming crowds of zoos in other major cities.
