<p> Yuelu Academy on Yuelu Mountain has been filled with music for a thousand years, and the statue of young Mao Zedong stands by the river at Orange Isle. Lady Xin Zhui of the Hunan Museum unfolds the two-thousand-year-old Changsha before you. </p><p> The soul of Changsha lies in the night and flavor: Pozi Street, the retro streets of Wenheyou, stinky tofu, sugar oil rice cakes, and chopped chili fish head take turns on the table.
