Exploring the Changsha Wordings Wall was a captivating experience. We admired the vibrant murals and creative designs, each incorporating the word "Changsha" in unique artistic styles. The wall’s mix of modern graffiti and traditional calligraphy reflected the city’s dynamic culture and history. We spent hours taking photos, intrigued by the different interpretations of Changsha in the artwork.

This two-day and one-night trip to Changsha was a seamless and perfect experience! At night, I took the high-speed rail from Hong Kong West Kowloon Station and arrived at Changsha South Station in about 3 hours. After exiting the station, I immediately took a Didi taxi and arrived at the **Tai Hotel** next to the IFS in 15 minutes. The service, location and facilities of this hotel are impeccable, and the cost-effectiveness is super high. I highly recommend it! **Night Carnival: The Ultimate Enjoyment of Food and Massage** After putting down the luggage, I immediately started the Changsha nightlife! The first stop is of course to have a bowl of authentic **Changsha Beef Rice Noodles**, which has a rich soup and tender beef, which is absolutely unforgettable. Then you can go to the nearby food street or night market to try various snacks, such as stinky tofu, sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes, and then have a glass of cold beer, which is simply too cool! If you still want to relax, Changsha's **Massage Shop** is also very famous, with reasonable prices and professional techniques, which can instantly relieve travel fatigue. The street barbecue stalls at night are not to be missed. The aroma of charcoal grilled skewers is fragrant. With cold beer, you can eat and chat with three or five friends, and feel the fireworks of Changsha, which is still lively until the early morning! **Explore during the day: Warm Changsha Bay, the driver's recommendation is super considerate** The next morning, you can go shopping near the IFC. Changsha's shopping malls and streets are full of vitality. If you don't know where to go, you can directly ask **Didi drivers**. They are not only polite and enthusiastic, but also recommend many good places that locals know, such as hidden old restaurants or niche attractions. Although it was only a short two days and one night, the itinerary was full and not a minute was wasted. **Play from morning to night, and then from night to early morning**, Changsha's "Never-Sleeping City" charm makes people linger! If you also like food, nightlife and a warm city atmosphere, Changsha is definitely worth a visit! **Recommended itinerary:** ✔ High-speed rail: Hong Kong West Kowloon → Changsha South Station (about 3 hours) ✔ Accommodation: **Tai Hotel** next to IFC (convenient location, first-class service) ✔ Must-eat: beef rice noodles, street barbecue, stinky tofu ✔ Must-play: night market, massage, IFC shopping district ✔ Tips: Didi drivers are super friendly, you can ask for local recommendations!

We had a fantastic lunch at *The Boots* at Changsha IFS, despite a 30-minute wait due to the full house. The atmosphere was lively, and although it was busy, the service was impressively quick, making the wait worthwhile. We ordered the salmon rosti and roasted spring chicken, both of which were absolutely delicious. The salmon rosti had a perfect crispy exterior, while the tender salmon inside was cooked to perfection. The roasted spring chicken was flavorful, juicy, and had just the right amount of seasoning, leaving us all satisfied.

I had been thinking about taking a taxi from the hotel to IFS to eat Hunan cuisine. But the Hunan cuisine business is too good. We arrived at 3pm, started taking numbers at 4pm, and the store didn't open until 5pm. I gave up decisively and chose the Italian restaurant next door. Two people ordered two dishes. The signature spicy beef pizza - I really like the crust of this pizza, it is just the right hardness and thickness, and very chewy. I specifically asked the chef and he said that he uses Italian Caputo flour. There is also a lot of cheese and vegetables, and eating the roll is very satisfying. Sea Bass Avocado Eggs Benny - I think the fried sea bass is quite flavorful, and the Eggs Benny has a light flavor. The girl loves to eat.

Changsha IFS has launched another super interesting exhibition, which is simply eye-catching and opens the happy mode of running to the new year! The exhibition is called "RUN to Light", which is the first cooperation between Changsha IFS and artists. It is really creative. The exhibition hall is full of strange characters, which makes me dazzled and completely immersed in it. I love the golden clown 🤡, the flashing neon lights ✨ and the green-haired elf 🧚‍♀️ on the background board of the big flowerpot. Every detail is designed with great care. Exhibition name 🔖: [RUN to Light] Central China premiere Exhibition period 📅: January 20, 2024 - March 23, 2025 Exhibition time 🕰: Monday - Sunday 10:00 - 22:00 Exhibition address 📍: IFS L7 Exhibition ticket 🎫: No ticket required 🆓 No reservation required This kind of interesting and niche exhibition is definitely worth a visit!

Changsha is such a great place, here is a guide to eating, drinking and having fun Juzizhou is already the next level! The Jiangtian Muxue Immersive Theater is really interesting. Using the clue of the Eight Scenic Spots of Xiaoxiang - Jiangtian Muxue, it connects three unit plays about love, friendship and rationality, and uses digital light and shadow to tell the story of a lonely boatman in a straw hat and raincoat fishing alone in the cold river snow.

​I went on a business trip to Xianning, Hubei, and chose to transfer in Changsha, where I could drink "Chayan Yuese" tea. ​As soon as I got off the train, I saw Chayan Yuese, and there was one every three steps, everywhere. My little photographer took me to "Ben Luobo", a popular restaurant in Hunan, which is a bit like our "Zhu Fugui" in Fujian, but our "Zhu Fugui" is much better. Spicy, spicy, spicy, spicy girl, I don't like Hunan cuisine very much. A total of CNY 82: Stir-fried pork with chopped red pepper CNY 35, pan-fried egg CNY 28, stir-fried sauerkraut CNY 27, free rice (one bucket per table), napkin CNY 2. IFS Rainbow Wall🌈 ​​Changsha is a city worth visiting, and the IFS is a must-see as the most lively part of Wuyi Square. Crowded Orange Isle, this niche photo spot is amazing❗ No reservation! No walking! No ticket! ​Quick photo, quick check-in!📸 ​It's not that I can't afford to go to Orange Isle, but that Bisha Lake is more cost-effective. ​Since I was short on time, I saw this way of checking in, a set of ten photos, CNY 50. The last stop of the whirlwind tour was Changsha, perfect.

📍𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐒𝐡𝐚 Join in the fun During the National Day holiday, I joined everyone and squeezed through the crowds to go to Changsha, a place I had never been to but had always wanted to go to. 🚄: Hangzhou = Changsha, we chose the high-speed rail, which is cost-effective and does not take long. Tired of sitting ✈️, it's nice to come down occasionally 🚄~ 🏠: Since there were many of us, we chose an apartment B&B with 3 rooms. It was more cost-effective than a hotel, with an average of more than 300 yuan per night per person. The location is also very advantageous, right at the subway entrance, very convenient to go anywhere, and opposite the homestay is a popular Hunan restaurant, which is also convenient for checking in. 🛝: We spent only 2 days on the trip and went to Yuelu Mountain, Hunan University, Hunan Radio and Television, IFC, and the rooftop of Wanjiali Building. 🍽️: I checked in at Benluobo, Li Ji Red Lantern, Cha Yan Yue Se, and some snacks. 🦶: Finally, we also experienced a popular foot bath shop and queued for 6 and a half hours🤣 (we went to get a number first, then went to eat, and finally went back to the foot bath shop to wait for a seat)
