A week in Changsha — a sensible route
Yuelu Mountain for the morning walk and the academy at its foot. Orange Isle for the riverside evening (check the metro — it drops you at the entrance). Hunan Museum for the Mawangdui collection — book your free ticket in advance on its official channel. Tea drinks: the local favourite needs no introduction, but you will also find quieter tea houses in the old streets. Night food: the streets near the river and the old quarters run late — chilli, beer, and loud tables. Everything below is the kind of thing that changes by season; check opening times before you go.
