Located in the middle of the Xiangjiang River, Tangerine Island is known as the city heart of Changsha and is the best place to capture the sunset and natural beauty. The scenery on the island is beautiful. Although it is very hot in summer, it feels very comfortable to walk along the Xiangjiang River with the breeze blowing. You can take a stroll along the river or rent a bike for a tour where you can see the Tangerine Island Bridge, Mao Zedong Youth Statue, Outer Gardens, and many photo-friendly spots along the way.

It is recommended that you bring water and do a good sunscreen, the maximum temperature outdoors in summer is really not to be ignored. The Chau Tau Scenic Area is open from 07:00 to 22:00. There are fewer people in the morning, so there won’t be too many people for photography. You can choose to go at dusk to see the sunset plus the night view, the most beautiful to take pictures.
