Things To Do: Old City Walls
A small part of the old Ming dynasty walls can be found in the south-west of the city. The Tianxin Pavilion is the symbol of the ancient city and still remains along the remaining wall.
Admission: Y18.

Changsha: Things To Do: Kai Fu Temple
This is a Buddhist temple. While I could see monks at the temple, it was mostly tourists. The statues were amazing, one room had 500 statues of Buddha in different poses. I was just sad we couldn't take pictures in most places. A lot of the signs were in English, but I was happy to have someone Chinese with me. It was 10 RMB to get in, and that also gives you a package of joss sticks to put in the fire. For 10 RMB you could also get your fortune read in the room with the 500 statues.

Changsha: Things To Do: Fire Palace 火宫殿
This is actually a restaurant, but also is a temple and has a stage. Don't let the fact that it is surrounded by high-rises fool you, this temple is over 200 years old. It often has live entertainment in the courtyard, which is why I was there. I did eat here on another occasion, but that is in my restaurant tip.
Address: just off Walking Street

Changsha: Things To Do: A Fortress Park In Central Changsha.
Literally, this is a pre-WWII fortress complete wuth real cannons and turrets. It was actually used to repel the Janaese during one of their inland invasions.
When you enter this park you're surrounded by beautiful botanic gardens with people sitting at tables leisurely playing mahjong or cards. Others will be practicing Tai Chi, or simply sitting enjoying the serenity of their surroundings.
Further into the gardens you'll enter a pagoda surrounded by other buildings. You'll then see large Cannons pointing out from the high stone wall that stand above the city streets below.

Changsha: Things To Do: Qingshuitang Sunday Market
The northern edge of the dreadful Changsha City Museum at Qingshuitang has one saving grace (well two if you incllude the reconstruction of Mao Zedong's cottage).
On the northern side of the grounds there is a long corridor of calligraphy and steles. On Sundays, this is turned into a little antiques market where Changsha's old geezers and likely lads come to sell the stuff they have been making for the rest of the week and soaking in buffalo urine (for that aged look).
There's a lot of rather endearing tat and rubbish and quite a few old newspapers, posters (genuine.?......maybe), postcards and other assorted junk. The sellers are friendly people and seem to be just ordinary people who have paid a few kuai to lay out a blanket on the floor with some items for sale.
I found a 1959 school atlas of China....brilliant.
If it's raining, or if you just want a change from the sites or malls, an hour here will be rewarding.
Address: Qingshuitang

长沙旅游攻略 - 已解决 - 人体艺术 http://www.goodlk.com/ask/detail_187322470.htm
长沙现在很多景点都对外免费开放
世界之窗 和海底世界 可以玩一天 ，长沙有一个酒吧一条街（解放西路），晚上特别热闹，
第二天白天可以去省博物馆和烈士公园玩下，这个两个地方比较近，下午可以去白沙古井、天心阁 ，然后爬下岳麓山（都顺路），爬完山回来晚上顺便可以从五一广场走路去逛下步行街，步行街南门口那个地方晚上有很多小吃，步行街里面也有吃的，吃完东西顺便可以去沿江风光带看看风景，橘子洲头也在附近，晚上那边会很漂亮（这两个地方都在步行街附近，从步行街走路去也就十几分钟）
