Stone Tales🗿

Changsha and Lanzhou were on my travel radar—and if you love epic views, history, and hidden gems, this trip is gonna be your vibe ☀️ Changsha’s riverside scene is a must, but the real highlight was checking out Du Fu Pavilion’s Stone Carving. This spot mixes poetry, ancient artistry, and a truly peaceful vibe.

Top Spots to Visit:
Du Fu Pavilion - Stone Carving (湖南省长沙市天心区湘江中路108号杜甫江阁内(南侧)): With sunny skies making everything pop, I wandered through the pavilion’s southern side to find these incredible stone carvings. The ancient calligraphy and poetry will wow any culture fan. Pro tip: Early mornings = fewer crowds, better lighting for photos!

Travel Tips:
Changsha is easy to get around with public buses or the metro—Du Fu Pavilion is close to central stations so hopping out for a stroll is super doable. Cashless payments are everywhere; scan codes for entry, snacks, and even souvenirs.

Food Recs:
Make time for street snacks along Xiangjiang Middle Road. Try stinky tofu or crispy pork, best from little carts under the pavilion’s shade. Everything's authentic, spicy, and crazy affordable.

Destination Notes:
No visas needed for most tourists if you’re already in China. Weather is sunny in spring, so pack sunscreen and stay hydrated (there’s water bottle refill stations along the riverside path).

Don’t forget to book on trip.com for the smoothest city-to-city hops and local deals.
