Introduction to the Tourist Attraction in Changsha

1.Orange Island

Orange Island, nestled in Changsha's urban heart by the Xiangjiang River, boasts China's largest river-spanning island, traversing the waterway from south to north. Facing Changsha's eastern skyline, it's a water-encircled marvel stretching miles, narrowing to 40 meters and widening to 140 meters, shaped like a prolonged emerald in the river's embrace. As a pillar of Changsha's tourism, it's designated a national AAAAA attraction, integral to the city's 'mountain, water, island, city' tourism blueprint. Youthful Mao Zedong, inspired by the northbound Xiang, penned "Qinyuanchun Changsha," evoking his aspirations to salvage the nation. Renowned for its poetic ties and majestic position between mountains and metropolises, Orange Island is hailed as "China's Premier Island." In 2016, due to non-compliance, it lost its 5A status but regained it in December 2017 after a successful review, marking its reinstatement as a premier tourist destination.

2.Yuelu Mountain

Yuelu Mountain, situated in Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan, sprawls over 35.20 sq. km. and reaches a height of 300.8 meters, holding the status of a national key scenic spot and AAAAA tourist attraction. Derived from the "Nanyueji" during the Liu Song Dynasty, it is renowned for its eight major scenic zones including Lushan and Tianma, and four core attractions: Lushan, Juzizhou, Yuelu Academy, and Xinmin Society. Boasting 977 plant species across 174 families and 559 genera, Yuelu Mountain serves as a hub for Hunan culture dissemination and patriotic education. Historical landmarks like the ancient Lushan Temple and tombs of luminaries like Huang Xing and Cai E adorn the area. Its rich culture encompasses celebrity tales of Mao Zedong and Cai Hesen, along with a harmonious blend of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

3.Tianxin Pavilion

Nestled in the southeast corner of Changsha's central area, atop the ancient city wall where Chengnan and Tianxin Roads converge, Tianxin Pavilion stands as a three-story tower, the sole surviving symbol of the city's historic past. With a construction area of 846 sqm, it boasts green-tiled roofs, soaring eaves, red beams, and intricate paintings, seamlessly merging with the ancient city wall and Tianxin Park's other structures. Perched on the city's highest terrain, over 30 meters above the ground, it overlooks Miaogao Peak. Named in Yu Yi's late Ming Dynasty poem, Tianxin Pavilion was rebuilt during the Qing Dynasty's Qianlong era, renowned worldwide for embodying the grandeur of Changsha's southern region and attracting scholars for poetic gatherings. Today, it has gained additional fame among youth, thanks to renowned voice actor Ge Ping, who regularly practices his craft within its historic confines.
