Just got back from Changsha and can't stop raving about this "Corner Pool Hotel"! Who would have thought that in the heart of Wuyi Square, there's a hidden gem of a homestay with a sky-high infinity pool? Soaking in the pool at night watching the IFS light show, with the bustling Jiefangxi crowd right beneath you—this is the ultimate way to experience Changsha!
🔥 Why is it the top-tier hotel in Changsha?
- 📍 Prime Location! Nightlife hub right at your doorstep  
Tucked away in Huayuan Yunxi North Tower on Pozi Street, the hotel offers views of the IFS KAWS sculpture right from your window. Turn left downstairs for Pozi Street's stinky tofu stalls, or walk 5 minutes right to Jiefangxi's bar street—no queues for Tea Yan Yue Se even at 2 AM! Just a 3-minute walk from Wuyi Square Station (Line 2), with direct metro access to Orange Isle to see Chairman Mao's statue—effortless even with kids!  
- 🏊♀️ Rooftop Infinity Pool! Instagram-worthy shots guaranteed  
The rooftop infinity pool is a must-visit! By day, the water mirrors the blue sky and clouds, framed by the IFS skyscrapers—every shot screams "vacay abroad" vibes. At night, the pool glows with twinkling lights against the city’s neon skyline. Even locals come here for photos—the ambiance is next level!  
- ✨ River-View Loft + Dyson Appliances! A detail-lover’s dream  
Our river-view loft was stunning! Upstairs featured a 1.8m king bed, while the downstairs living room had floor-to-ceiling windows for sunrise views over the Xiang River. Dyson hairdryers and smart toilets are standard, but some rooms even have balconies—sipping Tea Yan Yue Se at night, soaking in Jiefangxi’s lively energy below, you’ll feel Changsha’s soul right at your fingertips!  
- 🐾 Pet-Friendly! Fur babies can vacation too  
Pet owners, rejoice! The hotel allows pets and even provides pet beds and treats at the front desk—no more boarding hassles. Watching the river view with your pup from the balcony as it naps on the rug? Pure cuteness overload!  
💡 Hidden perks only guests know:  
- Complimentary goodnight dessert is chilled mung bean soup—perfect to balance Changsha’s spicy snacks;  
- The concierge gives hand-drawn maps of local food spots, highlighting hidden gems favored by locals (tourist traps avoided!);  
- Free Instagrammable flamingo floaties by the pool—no need to rent props for those perfect shots!  
Honest advice: Stay here for your Changsha trip!  
By day, admire the river views at Orange Isle, visit Mawangdui relics at the Hunan Museum, then return to the hotel for a night swim under the city lights. Too tired? Just head downstairs for Pozi Street’s spicy crayfish—this "play in the heart, stay in the scenery" experience is how Changsha should be enjoyed! Book the river-view loft early for that picture-perfect window view of Changsha’s romance~ 📸
