I've been to Changsha seven times, and I finally found the perfect guesthouse!

Are you always struggling to find the perfect place to stay in Changsha? Look beyond the high-rises in Wuyi Square! Quyuan No. 3 Guesthouse, hidden behind IFS, is a true oasis in the bustling city 🌸! It's just a five-minute walk to Huangxing Pedestrian Street, with easy access to Chayan Yuese and Hei Se Dian Jing snacks. But stepping inside feels like traveling back in time to a tranquil Jiangnan courtyard, where you can hear the rustling of bamboo leaves 🍃

🏡 Hua Zhu · Changsha Quyuan No. 3 Guesthouse (Wuyi Square IFS International Finance Square Branch)

📍The location is unbeatable! It's 400 meters from the subway station, a 15-minute train ride to Orange Isle, and a 20-minute cable car ride to Yuelu Mountain. Evenings offer a 10-minute stroll to Jiefangxi Bar Street! Yet, surprisingly, it's incredibly quiet. The housekeeper credits the triple-glazed soundproof windows and the courtyard design 👏

✨ Check-in Experience
▫ Rooms are decorated in a minimalist wabi-sabi style with natural wood tones, starting from 40㎡ and featuring scenic balconies! My room, "Mu Fang," had a bathtub 🛁 where I could soak while enjoying the courtyard's flowers, plants, and trees 🍁
▫ The bedding is made of 80-count Xinjiang cotton! It feels like being embraced by a cloud—a dream come true for picky sleepers 😴

🍵 Hidden Gems
✅ Enjoy Anhua dark tea in the courtyard tea room in the morning and watch koi swim among the moss and stones
✅ Have a BBQ on the rooftop camping area in the evening, as the sunset paints the IFS rooftop pink 💖
✅ Ask the housekeeper for their "Changsha Local's Guide" and discover hidden culinary gems, like the noodle shop with lines even at 2 am!

📸 Instagrammable Spots
🔸 Spiral staircase + giant floor-to-ceiling windows (light-colored dresses recommended)
🔸 Japanese-style dry landscape garden (perfect for hanfu or kimono)
🔸 Artificial flower waterfall in the work area (stunning at night when lit up!)
