Hidden Gem in Changsha! A Romantic Experience at the Solitude Riverside Homestay

During this trip to Changsha, I deliberately avoided the bustling Wuyi Square and chose the "Solitude Riverside Homestay" tucked away by the Xiang River. The result? An unforgettable romantic encounter! The homestay is located near Orange Isle, just a five-minute walk to the riverside. As you push open the wooden door, the lobby exudes an artistic vibe with its wooden furniture, warm yellow lighting, and walls adorned with poetry cards left by previous guests, instantly putting you at ease. **The highlight is definitely the room**! I opted for the riverside suite, which features large floor-to-ceiling windows. At night, you can fall asleep to the shimmering waves of the Xiang River, and in the morning, open the window to the misty view of the Orange Isle Bridge. The biggest surprise was the homestay's outdoor viewing deck. In the evening, you can sip on a hand-brewed coffee while watching the sunset turn the entire Xiang River golden—it's unbelievably romantic. The service is exceptionally thoughtful. The owner personally guided us to visit nearby niche artsy coffee shops and even recommended local night snack stalls known only to residents. If you're looking for the perfect blend of artistry and riverside scenery in Changsha, this homestay is undoubtedly the top choice!
