This was Mrs. He's second visit to the Hunan Provincial Museum. Last time it was just the two of us, but this time we brought our two daughters who were back from working abroad on vacation. The guide, Xiaoxing, explained things clearly and concisely, a world apart from the professionalism of the guides in the large group of twenty or thirty people we visited last time. This guided tour and explanation were very insightful and engaging, and we are very grateful for her professionalism and enthusiasm. We are deeply impressed by the improvement in professional guided tour capabilities in China. Thank you again to guide Xiaoxing for her professional service!

Orange Isle holds unique historical and cultural significance, making it a must-visit in Changsha. As for the river cruise at night, it's pretty much the same everywhere, and the ticket prices are similar. If you haven't experienced it elsewhere before, you can give it a try. The Xiangjiang River cruise lasts about 40-50 minutes and includes a ticket to the Orange Isle mini-train, making it relatively good value for money.

With fewer crowds and beautiful scenery, the view from the top is exceptionally good. It's even more dazzling at night, and I expect it will be more crowded then. There's an elevator for seniors over 70; if you don't want to wander through each floor, just go straight to the sixth floor! Those over 65 are free, and those between 60 and 65 get a 50% discount. Regular tickets are 18 yuan. It's close to the city center, making it a great classic choice. You can even see the shuttle bus while looking out over Orange Isle, a truly wonderful experience.

Yuelu Mountain is truly beautiful in autumn. I was the only one there for the 3:30 PM tour, enjoying the perks of a private tour. But the tour guide was incredibly attentive, providing a thorough and detailed explanation – a fantastic experience!

Tianxin Pavilion is one of Changsha's tourist attractions, but personally, I feel it's optional if you're short on time. Above the steps, there's a small square with beautiful autumn foliage. The entrance fee is 40 yuan, but it's free for seniors over 65. Feel free to stroll around and take some photos.

The night view of Changsha is truly beautiful. The temperature was a bit low at night, and it was a little chilly sitting on the top floor. However, I gained a lot from the experience. As the boat slowly set sail, I could clearly feel the unique beauty of the city. Although it didn't have the same charm as my previous trip to Chengdu, where I cruised the Jinjiang River with its numerous shops and lanterns, the tranquility only enhanced the city's distinctive beauty. In short, I had a very enjoyable trip to Changsha.

The underwater world is very fun. There are different animals, different performances, and many recreational projects. Feel the difference. Wear beautiful clothes in summer to take pictures. 📸📸📸📸

After navigating for 3 kilometers, I finally arrived at the Li Zijian Art Museum. It was a profound spiritual baptism and artistic edification. Black swans swam leisurely along the banks of the Xiang River, while I lay on the grass sunbathing, enjoying the tranquility. The space of the soul is humanity and love; the painter's pursuit of great goodness and love extends far beyond aesthetics.

Visited Tongguan Kiln National Style Park again, this time with the family. Same old routine: Black Stone Ship, Flying Theater, and Iron Flower Show. We also tried the water go-karts this time. The recently released wire stunt equipment is perfect for shooting videos and photos.
