Avoid Vacation Pitfalls in Changsha! This Lakeside Homestay Is So Stunning I Didn't Want to Leave


After 5 days in Changsha, the homestay I'm dying to recommend is Xueqingji·Shanshi Qinglan! Just a 15-minute taxi ride from the high-speed rail station, nestled beside Yanghu Wetland Park, it offers both urban convenience and serene tranquility – our family of four felt completely at ease.

The moment we entered, we were mesmerized! The lush greenery makes you feel like you've stepped into a Jiangnan watertown, with soft grassy lawns perfect for Instagram-worthy shots. The highlight? Our 60+ sqm room – even as an organization freak, I was amazed! Floor-to-ceiling windows let us enjoy lake views from bed, waking to sunlight dancing on the water and stargazing at night – this is what vacation dreams are made of!

Every detail shines: custom furniture, full-length and vanity mirrors, plus separate bathtub area and walk-in closet (no worries about messy suitcases). My bestie and I soaked in the tub gazing outside, too cozy to leave!

Endless activities await: a sprawling outdoor pool for sunset dips (hello, peach-toned skin!), lawn tents for BBQ parties with kids playing while adults relax. Evening live folk music with breezes creates magical ambiance!

The restaurants wow too – freshly steamed buns for breakfast, authentic spicy Hunan dinners even impressed my picky mom ("better than restaurants!"). Bonus: they offer high-speed rail transfers – perfect for hassle-free travel!
