In Changsha City, Hunan, China, there is a place known as "China's River Island", which is the head of Orange Island. With its unique geographical location and rich historical and cultural heritage, it attracts countless tourists to visit. Naturally, this beautiful spot should not be missed.
A cruise to see the view of Orange Island Head was my first stop here. When I was on the Xiangjiang River and watched the high-rise buildings on both sides of the river gradually disappear in front of me, I felt an indescribable joy in my heart. Along the way, I passed many famous historical sites and cultural landscapes, such as Yueyang Tower, Junshan Island, etc., which made me feel as if I had traveled through time and space and returned to those eventful years.
When the boat docked at Orange Island Head, I couldn't wait to get off the boat. The first thing that catches your eye is a huge statue - the Statue of Youth. The statue is 32 meters tall and is made of more than 8,700 pieces of Yongding red granite stones. It is not only one of the landmark buildings in Orange Island, but also a witness to the history of the Chinese revolution. Standing in front of the statue, I seem to be able to feel the demeanor and bearing of a generation of great men, which makes people admire.
There are also many attractions worth seeing in Orange Island. For example, you can walk through the orange groves and feel the fresh breath and the charm of nature; Or you can climb the observation deck and overlook the whole of Changsha City. Here, you can not only appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Xiangjiang River and the prosperity of the city, but also feel the profound heritage and infinite charm of Chinese culture.
I also learned about a legend about the head of Orange Island. Legend has it that once upon a time, it was a desolate island. Later, an immortal passed by this place and saw that the scenery here was very beautiful, so he scattered orange tree seeds. Since then, it has become a great place to grow oranges. And when the autumn harvest season arrives, the golden yellow of the mountains and the turquoise of the Xiangjiang River reflect each other, forming a beautiful picture.
Orange Island is a comprehensive scenic spot integrating beauty, culture and history. Here, you can enjoy a visual feast and a shock to the soul. Whether it's a boat ride to enjoy the scenery or a walk through the orange groves to soak up the charm of nature, you'll never want to leave. If you come to Changsha for tourism, you might as well come to Orange Island for a walk! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
