Mount Yuelu

Reviewed By 415dianah - Guangzhou, China

Taking it at a leisurely pace, walking up to Yuelu Temple was worth the effort. Lots of meandering pathways and tombs through the mountainside. Worth the effort if you enjoy the combination of nature and sites. The monastery is working so some places are off limits. A little rundown, it still provides a great insight into the history and heritage of the region. It was reasonably crowded for a day when it was a chilly 6 degrees. I can imagine in warmer weather, there would be even more people.

So I came to Shaoshan for a business trip and was invited to visit the square. There is a huge statue and people pay tribute to Chairman Mao. We went on a lovely day and they do bowing ceremonies for the visitors.

Changde Poem Wall

Reviewed By DrAustonLouis - Albuquerque, United States

This wall runs in overlapping layers along one of the main rivers in Changde. The walk is delightful because the river is on one side. The vast length of this wall means that unless you are a middle to long distance jogger, or a race walker, or have a bike, you will have a challenge in walking the entire wall in one visit. One long section of the wall is across the street from the popular Pedestrian Street, which has dozens of fashionable clothing for men and women, inexpensive street vendors selling cooked lotus root, chicken wings, squid, fruit smoothies, high quality nuts, and similar treats, though the food here is very spicy.

Martyr's Park

This is a multi-use, free public park with historical significance, walking paths, a man-made lake for boating and scenic beauty, some zoological exhibits and an amusement park with attractions. A wonderful place for families to go.

A very nice park for a relaxing walk to enjoy the views and read the memorials to those who died so that others could live in a better place.

Orange Island Park

Reviewed By 415dianah - Guangzhou, China

Having just enjoyed an amazing lunch, we wanted to walk it off and this was the perfect place. Despite it being really cold, we loved to see all the activity in the park - perfect to see so many people having fun and enjoying a winter’s afternoon. The island contains a myriad of places to explore, from bamboo gardens, to sculpture gardens to little grottos and scenic lakes. We caught the subway over for 2RMB and then leisurely strolled to the end of the island to check out the young Chairman Mao statue. We decided to catch the miniature train back (40RMB) - something really popular to do, but bye long queue moved quickly.
