At the end of Orange Island, watch the Xiang River flow northward

⛰【Attractions Guide】 Qinyuanchun Changsha Standing alone in the cold autumn, the Xiang River flows northward, at the head of Orange Island. Look at the red mountains and the colorful forests; the clear blue river and the boats racing against each other. Eagles soar in the sky, fish swim in the shallows, and all creatures in the frosty sky compete for freedom. Feeling melancholy and desolate, I ask the boundless earth, who controls the rise and fall? I brought a hundred friends to travel with me. Recalling the glorious past years. We are young students, in the prime of our youth; we are full of youthful vigor and ambition, and have great potential. He pointed out the mountains and rivers, wrote inspiring articles, and regarded the marquis of that time as dirt. Do you remember paddling in the middle of the river, with the waves stopping us as we sailed? "沁园春·长沙" is one of Chairman Mao's most classic poems and also one of my favorite poems of Chairman Mao. ❤Recommendation reason: Today, my children and I came to Orange Island in Changsha with great anticipation and excitement, to experience up close the grandeur of Chairman Mao’s poems and to pay homage to the statue of young Chairman Mao. In the misty rain, the child tied his red scarf, sorted out his thoughts, and finally saluted the Chairman solemnly! Fortunately, my son's generation has a very close feeling towards Chairman Mao and is not so unfamiliar with him, which makes me very happy. 🚗Transportation strategy: Take Metro Line 2 and get off at Orange Island Station, then swipe your mainland China ID card to enter the scenic area. 🕙Opening hours: Open all day. 💰Ticket price: Free. 🌟Highlights: Orange Island, located in the middle of the Xiangjiang River in Changsha City, Hunan Province, is one of the many alluvial sandbars in the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River. Orange Island faces Yuelu Mountain to the west and Changsha City to the east. It is surrounded by water on all sides and is 5 kilometers long. The island is 40 meters long, 140 meters wide and only 300 meters wide at its widest point. It is long and narrow, shaped like a dragon. The Orange Island Bridge spans across it, 1 km from the center of Changsha. The area is 0.614 square kilometers. In the 14th year of the Republic of China (1925), Chairman Mao Zedong returned to Hunan from Guangzhou to lead the peasant movement. In the cold autumn, he revisited Orange Island and wrote "沁园春·长沙", which made Orange Island famous. 📌Tips: 1. To travel to Orange Island, you need to make an appointment in advance on the "Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area" WeChat applet, which is divided into three time periods: morning, afternoon and evening. 2. The scenic area provides a "small train" around the island, which runs in a clockwise direction and allows passengers to get on and off once at each stop. Adult tickets are 40 yuan and student tickets are 20 yuan. 3. February to March every year is the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom in Orange Island. Walking into the Orange Island Plum Garden is like stepping into a dreamlike world. The plum blossoms are in full bloom, emitting a faint fragrance that makes people intoxicated. As we strolled in the sea of ​​flowers, we appreciated the beauty and fragrance of the plum blossoms up close. 4. The scenic area provides a tourist bus that goes directly to May Day Square. The ticket is 5 yuan per person. Of course, you can also take the subway one stop to May Day Square.
