Changsha Advanced "Autumn Collecting" Map: 3 Distinct Autumn Romances

Who says autumn is only about watching maple leaves? This year, I started a super cool "Autumn Collecting" adventure in Changsha! Centered around Meixi Lake, I gathered three completely different autumn vibes in one day~ Quickly save this treasure guide!

🏨【Autumn Collecting Base Camp】Jinmao Luxury Select Hotel Meixi Lake
📍Address: No. 1177, Huanhu Road, Meixi Lake, Yuelu District, Changsha
✨Open the window to stunning lake views + futuristic architecture designed by Zaha Hadid, waking up every day to a living artwork of "Urban Autumn" 🌈 Sitting by the window on an autumn afternoon daydreaming is pure vacation mode~

📸【Five-Day "Autumn Collecting" Collection】

1️⃣ Yuelu Mountain🔴· Collect a Page of "Red Leaf Poetry"
📍Address: No. 58, Denggao Road, Yuelu District, Changsha
- The classic red maples at Aiwan Pavilion are beautiful, but I recommend going deeper into the forest!
- 🚶‍♀️Secret trail tip: Take the path behind Yunlu Palace towards Yuelu Academy
- Best time to collect autumn: 7-9 AM ☀️
Here you can "collect" the purest red and yellow palette, every shot looks like an oil painting 🎨

2️⃣ Mopanzhou💙· Collect a Touch of "Artistic Lake Light"
📍Address: Confluence of Liuyang River and Xiangjiang River, Kaifu District, Changsha
- 🌲The dawn redwoods start changing color in November, mid to late November is the golden period
- 📷Photo spots: East Bank Viewing Platform + North Bank Reed Marsh
- Recommended time: 3-5 PM, when sunlight sprinkles golden fragments on the water surface ✨
Definitely the chillest autumn scenery in Changsha, a must for artsy youth!

3️⃣ Songya Lake🏝️· Collect a Piece of "Lakeside Leisure"
📍Address: Songya Lake Wetland Park, Changlong Street, Changsha County
- 🚴‍♀️Must try: Cycling around the lake (bike rental at the west entrance)
- 🌾Reed season: Late October to early December
- Come to the beach at sunset, every snap feels like a seaside blockbuster 📸
Pretend you’re on an autumn seaside vacation, so healing!

💡Insider Tip:
Connect these three spots into a loop 💫
Day 1: Yuelu Mountain - Meixi Lake Hotel Afternoon Tea

This way you can deeply explore Changsha’s autumn colors without getting too tired~
