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.

If you are interested in Chinese and Hunan province history then this is must visit. Situated in a modern and spacious building that includes the 2000 year old mummified body of a Chinese lady and so many beautiful artefacts. Don't forget you passport.

Foreigners to remember to take their passports with. The museum is impeccable. Maybe eat something before you start as there is a lot to see. Security is everywhere and especially watch the foreigners near the more valuable and rare objects, and also near the tomb of Lady Dai as no photography is to be taken there. They watch the foreigners very carefully and so we did not attempt to take pics there. All else we could photograph. The history of Changsha and Hunan province in general are well documented and the beautiful detail of all the artifacts buried with Lady Dai's was equisite and very well preserved. Give yourself a number of hours if you wish to see all the rooms in detail.

The Yuelu Academy is a must visit in the city, which has so much to offer, from historic interests to gorgeous traditional Chinese architecture, plus a lovely garden. Spend one hour or two in the academy to explore. It has two gates, each has different views attached, so don’t miss one.

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.

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.
