My husband and I booked this day tour to visit some major attractions in Changsha. Mia was our tour guide. She was punctual, knowledgeable and friendly. Mia messaged me a week before the tour to introduce herself and customized the itinerary in advance. As we had already visited the Hunan Museum on our own the day before, the highlights of this tour were the Yuelu Academy and Orange Island. Mia met us at our hotel and took us to these places by metro. Yuelu Academy was one of the four great academies of ancient China. It is now part of Hunan University. Through the displays and detail explanation by Mia, we learned a lot about the history of this place and its significance. The grounds and buildings are beautiful too. Before we went to Orange Island, Mia took us to lunch and also we also made a brief visit to the Former Residence of Jia Yi on Taiping Old Street. Orange Island is a beautiful Island Park with a huge Mao Zedong’s statue. We took the cute tram to go around the park. We took lots of pictures of the impressive statue, beautiful waterfront, orange trees and sunset. When the tour ended, Mia took us back to our hotel by metro. We had a wonderful day exploring Changsha with Mia. We thought the tour had run overtime but Mia was very patient. She also took lots of great photos for us. I would recommend this tour to all those looking for a Changsha highlight tour.
