Hunan Satellite TV is next to Window of the World, and it takes about half an hour to an hour to get there by car from the city center. But my mother thought that since we were already there, and she usually likes the entertainment programs on Mango TV, she might as well go and watch it.



The Hunan Radio and Television Building is very old. Next to it is the Mango TV building. The latest programs and celebrity posters are hung on the outside of the building. Various celebrities come in and out every day, and every studio is busy with programs. After looking at the ticket information sent by a scalper, there are several programs being recorded and produced almost every day. It is very busy.

By White boiled water |

If you have time when you go to Changsha, you can go there to check in. After all, I started watching Hunan TV when I was a child.

By Big Bad Wolf |

The headquarters of Mango TV has become a popular photo-taking spot for internet celebrities

By A little DE story |

Going to Hunan Radio and Television is a kind of emotion.

Like many people, I grew up watching TV dramas and variety shows on Mango TV. I must go to see the legendary Malan Mountain and see the "alpaca".

I checked before I went there, wondering if I could see some celebrities or something, but there was no recording scheduled that day. 555555~~~~

By Bestin. |

The square in front of Hunan TV is super cute and perfect for taking photos.

By Pig Brother |

Tips for getting off at the Broadcasting and Television Center Station: Visitors are not allowed to enter the building at will, and can only watch from a distance. There seems to be not much to do nearby except for the Window of the World, which is a bit remote. Hunan TV must be a TV station that many people have watched since childhood, so it is also good to witness the memories of childhood.

By Piglet Exhibition |

Facing the Alpaca Building of the Radio and Television, walk a little to the left and you will see a zebra crossing where you can cross directly to the road. When you reach the other end of the road, you will see the entrance of the Radio and Television. Suddenly, I feel that it is not mysterious at all. It seems to be just an ordinary building, and it even looks quite unrefined. There are foot-rubbing mats drying on the door. However, I grew up watching Hunan TV, so I am still a little curious about what Hunan Radio and Television looks like. This visit can be regarded as adding color to my childhood.

By RB-Traveling Around the World |

As a pilgrimage to the Hunan Army of Chinese TV entertainment, it is a bit far from the city.

By 기린 |

The Radio and Television Station is at the last stop of the bus. You can see it when you get off the bus. It is indeed a little far away. When I arrived, I felt that it was the first time I had seen it so closely. Although I didn’t see any stars, I was satisfied. The weather happened to be very good with a cool breeze. There is a large piece of empty grass in front of the Radio and Television Station, where you can take a walk and it is very comfortable. We stayed here for quite a long time, until it was almost dark. Tourists kept coming to take pictures.

By Fujima MY Y |

Although it is old, it is indeed a place where good programs are produced. The five-star hotels nearby are also places where you can often see celebrities.

By Sheep that don't eat grass |

Mango TV's programs have accompanied us growing up, so how can we not come to Changsha to check in? But to be honest, if you have a tight schedule, I don't recommend going there. If you can get a ticket and go in as an audience, it should be nice.

By Mr. Clown |

It seems that there is a reason why many netizens jokingly call it "toilet station". It doesn't look as glamorous as on TV, but the uncle is your uncle after all, and there is no doubt that it is awesome. At that time, the surrounding area was full of promotional posters of many ace programs such as Flowers and Youth, Happy Boys 2017, I Want to Sing with You, etc., and I couldn't contain my excitement.

By Little fat pig with wings |

It took a long time to get to Hunan TV Center by bus. It really felt like a dream coming true. The stage so far away, the stars so far away, turned out to be performing happiness and excellence in the building in front of me. Salute to Hunan TV!

By Tianjin Girl |

If you have time, you can go for a walk around this place. We drove there and took photos and drove back directly. We didn’t do any travel guide nearby because there was construction going on nearby and it smelled bad. I was a little sad o(╥﹏╥)o

By campus. |

Although I went there at night and didn't see any stars, it still fulfilled my dream. After all, I have been watching Kuaiben for nearly ten years, and the show that has accompanied me all the way was recorded here.

By Black Bear |

The first time I saw the Mango TV headquarters, it was quite tall. Surrounded by the Window of the World

The main project of Hunan Radio and Television Center is a key project of spiritual civilization construction in Hunan Province during the "Eighth Five-Year Plan" period. It is the "leading" project of Hunan Golden Eagle Film and Television Cultural City (formerly Changsha New Century Cultural City), and has always received high care and support from the provincial party committee and government. In June 1994, the main leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government personally surveyed and selected the site, and located the Hunan Radio and Television Center on the banks of the Liuyang River in the former Changsha Comprehensive Farm in the northeastern suburbs of Changsha City, on the north side of the Changyong Expressway on National Highway 319. The total investment of the main building of Hunan Radio and Television Center is 360 million yuan, with a total construction area of more than 100,000 square meters, mainly including the main building, the auxiliary building and the podium building. The main and auxiliary buildings take the cut-corner square composition as the main tone, with the momentum of piercing the sky, implying the rapid development of radio and television. The main building and the auxiliary building are connected by a grid to form an "H" shape, and together with the podium building, they form a large space that resembles a TV screen. The selection is novel and unique, and the artistic conception is far-reaching.

By July benevolence |

I only took pictures at the door and didn't go in. It still has Hunan characteristics.

By Fang Peiluo |

If you don’t go, you will regret it for a long time. If you go, you will regret it for half your life.

By Karry |

I've been looking forward to this place for a long time. I finally got to see it with my own eyes. It's near the main roads and a relatively busy area. It's also close to Changsha's Window of the World. If I could go in and participate in the recording of Kuaiben, it would be my dream come true. Haha.

By Shark |

Hunan Provincial Radio and Television Center, if you want to be famous, you must go to Hunan TV.

By Yuci Eats and Sees the World |

The surrounding environment is not very good, and the transportation is not very convenient, but the shape is really amazing~

By Mao Juju |

You can't go in. You need an internal staff to swipe the card to enter. You can only look at the promotional posters outside the gate.

By Happy Ranger |

The transportation is convenient, you can enter and visit it up close, the building is very grand, the environment is good, it is worth a visit.

By Qianxi chestnut |

When I went there, the road was under construction and visitors were not allowed inside. After all, Hunan Satellite TV is so famous. I would regret going there and would regret not going there even more.

By The silence in memory |

When I went there, roads were being repaired everywhere, including Hunan Radio and Television. Unfortunately, I didn't go in to watch Day Day Up.

By Ru Guoyun knows |

As someone who has watched Happy Camp since childhood and followed I Am a Singer for five years, this is the most exciting part of the entire trip! It was just in time for the finals after the breakout competition, and the big poster at the door was hung up. I also took a photo with the green screen logo. I will make a phone call next year, and I don’t believe I won’t be selected as a public judge!!!

By Laocha Cc |

I went there the year I graduated. As a kid who grew up watching Hunan TV, I wanted to buy tickets for Happy Camp, but it didn’t match our time to go to Changsha. . . Later I bought tickets for Day Day Up. To be honest, I was so excited. I loved Wang Han, Xiao Wu and the others so much at that time~~~ Before the recording, the queue at the door was very strict. The packages had to be stored, so I had to run in with my phone to grab a favorable position. The recording was very fast, but it was just a split session, with singing, opening performances, playing football and so on. I can only say that I was brave enough to run onto the stage to participate in the beer drinking competition. I can do it too, hahaha

By Xu Xiaoxian Ace |

It's not interesting. I took a photo from a distance. And it sounds remote.

By Daningning (Shenyang) |

I am very happy just to watch Happy Camp

By Sunny House 1314 |

I started following the programs of China Media Group when I was a teenager, and I made a point to watch them when I arrived in Changsha.

By Mo Yan |

Don't think about anything when you go to the radio and television station, the scenery and special services, just to participate in the recording of entertainment programs. Hunan's entertainment is really booming. It's worth the trip to experience it on the spot.

By Ning Xiaoning |

The place where Hunan TV programs are recorded is very close to the Window of the World, but it was under renovation at the time and was fenced off outside so we were not allowed to go in, so we could only watch from afar.

By psy-Miss Problem |

An underground parking lot is being built in the vacant lot in front of the Radio and Television Station. It is very inconvenient for pedestrians to pass through Trinity Avenue in front, and they have to walk a long way to find an overpass or underground passage.

By flower thief |

You can occasionally meet stars or hosts. The Radio and Television Center is a bit far from the city.

By Sweet_Little |

Walking out of Changsha Huanghua Airport, there is a service center counter on the left, where you can buy bus tickets to the city. There are many buses, and we had plenty of time, several hours in the afternoon just waiting to kill time, so we directly bought 2 tickets to Hunan Mango TV... That day, there was smog... In fact, Changsha, as a city, doesn’t feel prosperous to me, but it is more intimate, without the sense of distance like Shanghai. The exterior of the Mango TV building and the Broadcasting and Television Center looks a bit old and can’t be compared with Jiangsu TV, but in terms of star effect and appeal, it goes without saying, just take a look from a distance~ I have to especially appreciate the enthusiasm of Changsha people here. I didn’t know where to have fun and where to be lively, so I met an aunt near the TV station. She talked to us for a long time, recommended a lot of fun places, and specifically told us not to go, such as Changsha’s famous "Fire Palace", saying it’s not worth eating.

By Califer Nature |

The TV I watched growing up was a bit old, but it did a great job of exporting culture. It was a pity that I didn't meet any celebrities, haha.

By A kitten |

Hunan Radio and Television is also very famous because Hunan TV’s entertainment programs are very good. However, if you want to go and see the stars, you can hardly see them because you are not allowed inside. All you can see is the lobby on the first floor, as their offices are all upstairs.

By Soda V |

As someone who has watched Hunan TV programs for many years, I still want to check in. Hunan Radio and Television Center is located away from the city center in Changsha. It can be reached by many buses. When you find the route on the map, remember to search for the Radio and Television Center, otherwise it is easy to be directed to the old TV station. We found that there was construction in front of the center on the other side of the road, so we had to take a detour and cross the road at a construction site. After passing it, you can see the buildings of different channels of the Radio and Television Center. If there are many fans gathered at a certain door, it may be that Happy Camp is being recorded! Maybe you can meet the stars you want to see if you are lucky.

By -The rest is outdated- |

The transportation is inconvenient. I encountered the construction of Metro Line 1, so I took a detour to get there. There are checkpoints for entry and exit, but nothing special.

By Good mood every day |

We saw Hunan Radio and Television Station on the way from Huanghua International Airport to the hotel by bus. The bus driver (there was no tour guide on the bus, and the bus driver was responsible for sending tourists to the hotel alone) was a very serious person. When picking up the group, his attitude was very stiff. The only thing he said along the way was to proudly tell the tourists on the bus when we drove here, "Look, there is our Hunan Radio and Television Center, and Happy Camp is here." This building is indeed very eye-catching, but its most attractive thing is that batches of excellent TV programs have been produced here, opening a new trend and influencing the entire TV industry.

By Lin |

It's great. When I came to Hunan, I wanted to watch the radio and television that I have been pursuing for many years.

By Water, Fire, Thunder and Lightning |

I passed by here but didn't go in. My friend Huang told me that he was an audience member of I Am a Singer this time and learned a saying: betel nut plus cigarettes, boundless power. Haha~

By Sweet Treasure |

I just walked downstairs. I couldn't go in. I was satisfied with just taking a few photos. It would be even better if I could go to the recording site.

By Mood for viewing the scenery |

The Hunan Radio and Television Center building is quite distinctive, and other Mango TV, Golden Eagle, etc. are all there. If you are a fan, it is a good place to go and see it, you can watch the show live and get autographs from star idols.

By hypower |

I just looked at this building from the outside, the famous “Alpaca” building!

By Green vegetables love radish |

I passed by when I went to Window of the World. Unfortunately, it was strictly controlled and I couldn't enter. Although I didn't plan to go in

By _Qi Qi Qi_ |

It is not very convenient to go to the Radio and Television Center, especially during the rush hour when the bus is too congested.

But I wanted to see the real Mango TV, so I went anyway.

You can't enter the Radio and Television Center, you can only take photos at the door. However, the environment near the Radio and Television Center is very good and clean. Although some places are under construction, the environment is also well maintained.

The legendary Golden Eagle Pavilion is inside Happy Shopping. It is quite big and clean.

I originally wanted to see how much the ticket was if there was anyone scalping nearby, but in the end I didn’t even see one, haha.

By Morphine28 |

After watching Mango TV for so many years, Changsha is my first stop.

By Wwfern |

Great, finally I can watch Hunan TV!!

By Tom cat who loves Mickey Mouse |

We took a photo together when we passed by, and it felt okay. Mainly because I came here after the third season of Hunan TV's I Am a Singer ended. . I didn't meet any celebrities, . . Haha. .

By Fan Little Superman |

Every time I go home, I have to pass by the Radio and Television Center. Now Mango TV has become one of the landmarks of Changsha. On the day of recording the show, many viewers and fans flock to it.

By Rosie_hhh |

On the way to the airport, I passed by the Radio and Television Center. Next to it is Changsha's Window of the World. There were a lot of people at the entrance of Happy Camp that day.

By W. |

The long-awaited Hunan Radio and Television Station!!! I'm really excited

By Big eyes small eyes |

I really wanted to go into the studio and experience it once, but I didn’t know how to get a ticket, so I could only walk around outside the door.

By Fannie |

Because I knew the staff, I had the privilege to go in and take a look. I visited the venue where "I Am a Singer" was filmed, as well as the studios of Happy Camp and Day Day Up. I have to say it was really amazing. It looked really shabby and a bit old, but it was still very good when I saw it on TV! ! The studio is not big, but so many excellent programs are filmed here. There is also the small slope of I Am a Singer, hahaha! It is really small, not at all tall and grand as it is on TV. When I went there, the second season of Where Are We Going, Dad was on the air, and there was a huge poster of cute kids outside the Radio and Television Center! ! The only regret is that I didn't meet any host, haha. What's more funny is that I passed by a pancake or bun stall, and it said that it was a bun stall that Dad Guo Tao patronized~

By You lead the way, I'll follow |

When I was in junior high school, I liked watching Hunan TV and always wanted to go to the live show of Happy Camp. When I was in college, my school happened to be nearby, so I went to the studio once, but it was not the recording site of Happy Camp. It seemed to be a new program. But fortunately, I met Zhu Dan, Qiu Qiming and Liu Xiaoqing, so it was not in vain. But the actual situation on the scene was very different from the one shown on TV! The atmosphere was not as lively as on TV, and the cooperation was not as tacit as on TV. The venue did not look as gorgeous as on TV. At the scene, I had to cooperate with the host to applaud and shout slogans over and over again... Alas, there is still a gap between imagination and reality. I am so unwilling to accept it. Variety shows are still more enjoyable to watch on TV.

By Go Away |

Just passing by, it seems a bit long, I'll go watch Happy Camp if I have a chance

By Under_the_sea |

I came to watch the finals of I Am a Singer. The live broadcast hall was actually not very big, but I always felt like it was a dream to be there.

By marquis_z |

It's so lively!!! It's almost become a tourist attraction! It's the evening rush hour, there are so many people and cars at the entrance, so there is only a traffic jam...

By Snacks Snacks Snacks Eat |

I went there to watch Base Camp~~~ Actually the studio is not very big... The souvenir shop was closed when the recording was over, which was a bit regrettable... I heard that the ticket for Base Camp is nearly 1K now... I can't afford it...

By Oak |

Went to watch I Am a Singer, it was great!

By Chen Xiaolei children's shoes |

As a die-hard fan of Mango TV, I must go there. It would be best if I could attend the recording of the show again.

By Lonely White |

I feel Hunan TV is pretty good, but the staff are a bit arrogant. After all, it's a domineering toilet station. I went to the third season of I Am a Singer and I want to go to the fourth season again!!! 😢😢😢

By Huang Zhengchang |

Mango TV has probably become a symbol of Changsha.

So as a check-in tourist, of course I have to go there.

Even if I went there, I could only stand outside and watch stupidly.

By Hello, I am a judge |

I went there during the May Day holiday, but unfortunately I couldn't afford the ticket to Happy Camp.

By Haha GD |

At first, we took the wrong bus and arrived at the Changsha Radio and Television Station. The building we saw was quite different from the radio and television we had in mind. After asking people around, we found out that we were going to the Provincial Radio and Television Station, which was next to the Window of the World. So friends who went there should be especially careful not to go to the wrong place like us. After more than an hour of wandering around, we finally arrived at the Hunan Radio and Television Station. It was still very domineering, haha, and looked exactly the same as on TV. There were many girls sitting in front of the TV station. I guess they were here to see if there were any celebrities like us. Unfortunately, we sat at the door for a long time and didn’t see any. The security guard kept chasing us away. It was a bitter tear, but I think I will come again next time, just because I love radio and television so much.

By Silence |

Hunan Radio and Television Station is located in Changsha City, Hunan Province. If you use Baidu Maps to search, you can directly select Window of the World, because the radio and television station is next to the Window of the World. When we went there ourselves, we searched incorrectly and found the radio and television station in Changsha County.

By Hua Shao takes you around the world |

In fact, I just walked downstairs, because I couldn't get in anyway.

By Leeyuenyuen |

It's very big. The day we went there was the Qingming Festival, so all the hosts and stars were on holiday. It was drizzling, so there were basically no people. Everyone went there to take a few photos and then left. The Radio and Television is very big. I heard that there are many different studios inside. Next to it is the I Am a Singer, which just finished recording two weeks ago. It's the first time I feel that the things on TV are so close to me. Haha, I really want to go to I Am a Singer live. It should feel great. You can't just go into the Radio and Television without permission, unless you are a staff member, so everyone can just take a photo at the door. If you are not very keen on a certain star, it should not be worth coming; but you can still find some time to be a live audience and see how variety shows are filmed.

By Jasmine--L |

I went to watch the breakout round of I Am a Singer. It was great, exciting, and very good. I saw many stars. The TV station's studio is not big, but the equipment is first-class.

By Ah San |

Hunan TV, we just visited it casually. We were not allowed to go inside. But we could take a rest in the fan building. There were large posters of all the hosts of Hunan TV.

By Dark Mr. Su |

The recording building of Hunan Satellite TV, Happy Camp, Day Day Up, We All Love to Laugh, many programs are recorded here.

It was my first time at the recording site of the show, and the lighting and everything else were very novel.

By Jing Ye Er |

The Broadcasting and Television Center is really remote! The studio is a bit small. It's really small. The director and others have to stand to watch!

By Cat chips |

We came to the toilet stage to watch a recording of Day Day Up. There were so many fans and we just wanted to have fun.

I had to wait in line for a long time before I could enter the studio. The seats were divided into odd and even numbers, so the tickets that were connected together did not actually allow us to sit together. I kept changing seats, and some seats became empty. This show would be broadcast in two days, so the recording was very smooth, and it was almost the same as watching it on TV.
