Activity itinerary

Hunan Provincial Museum

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Explore one of China's most impressive museums, focusing on the Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tombs. Witness the archaeological richness of the Western Han period, including "light-as-air" gauze silk robes, intricate funeral banners, and remarkably preserved artefacts. These treasures reveal the daily rituals, social hierarchy, and aesthetic tastes of ancient nobility, offering a direct window into a sophisticated civilisation.

Yuelu Academy

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Walk through the tranquil courtyards of this "Millennium-old Academy" at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. As a centre of intellectual life since 976 AD, the academy’s traditional architecture was specifically designed to provide the seclusion and focus required for rigorous study. These preserved halls have served as the physical stage for centuries of intellectual debate, where Neo-Confucian teachings shaped Chinese thought. Explore the grounds where modern China’s future leaders once gathered to study.

IFS

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Transition to the buzzing heart of Changsha. Explore the Wuyi Commercial District and Huangxing Road Walking Street, where historic charm meets modern skyscrapers like the IFS. Your guide will introduce you to the city’s famous "Night Economy" and vibrant street food scene. Taste local favourites like sugar-fried rice cakes (Tangyou Baba) and stinky tofu while experiencing the creative pulse of modern youth culture.
