Join us on our China road trip, this time we travel from Chenzhou to the new First Tier Mega City of Changsha.

About Changsha.

Welcome to Changsha, the vibrant heart of Hunan Province! This city is where history meets modernity in the most exciting way. Nestled along the banks of the Xiang River, Changsha is known for its rich cultural heritage and buzzing urban life. From ancient temples and historic sites to cutting-edge skyscrapers and trendy shopping districts, this city has something for everyone.

But Changsha isn’t just about the past—it’s a city that pulses with energy, especially at night. The streets come alive with colorful LED displays, and the local food scene is off the charts. Whether you’re diving into a bowl of spicy Hunan noodles or taking in the futuristic skyline, Changsha promises an unforgettable experience.

So, get ready to discover a city that’s as dynamic as it is historic. Whether you’re here for the culture, the food, or the nightlights, Changsha is sure to leave you wanting more.

Camping is not for me. I need a hotel room with a bed and bathroom . I give your wife and daughter a lot of love for trying this.😍💙❤️🧡

[Mr-Tony-]

Nice one guys. Interesting from start to finish. Great editing.

I love camping. I'll go camping as much as i can find time in the spring summer and fall.

[HKChineseCanadian]

I want to go to Changsha. It reminds me of New York City Times Square. Zhangjiajie is incredible.

Pity that the camping holiday didn't work out too well. We were in Changsha in 2019 and really enjoyed it. We paid 500 yuan per night, for a studi size room-with kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom, plus sauna and swimming pool on another floor. First came across Maan Coffee, which does great waffles and cream, plus salads and pizza etc. Our favourite coffee places in China are Maan coffee, Luckin and Cotti, which is the cheapest.

Welcome to CSC (Changsha City) barrett! It’s my hometown, but now I moved to Shenzhen. Some say, Shenzhen, Hunan people’s Jerusalem.😅

[xddigital]

So many different cultures and no plastic anywhere! I couldn't tell you were in China! That camping trip under the wind turbines looked second to none, I whish I could perfect redeye as well as you mate! Its just all looks desirable!

I'm not sure what was the criteria of 100 millions but china has about 700 millions people who can/do spend minimum $10 per day shopping. It's pretty massive that's why most of the companies are doubling down on china investment despite what's in the media.

Camping gets you close to Nature and i agree, we need to do this more often to wind down.

[FerMuBe]

We actually sleep really well at rest stops… there’s something about them that lets us sleep really deep.

[ChrisHereToday]

Nice video, HOW long is the road trip.

[jianyunlu]

I agree with your wife. I hate camping too🤭

[joaowust]

Haha 😂 I wouldn’t dare camping with my Chinese wife, it will be a massive of complains, … cold, not comfortable, mosquitos, noise, bla bla bla … you are brave to do it.

[davidlazarus]

It’s probably so busy at night because of the heat during the day. I would do the same and sleep during the day. I call it vampire mode.

[jianyunlu]

39oC all day, all night in mid-August in Changsha😡That was what I remembered more than 30 years ago. That is something Changsha hasn't changed😜

[leiwang]

It looks exactly the same room design of Hilton garden as the one i stayed Zhuhai two weeks ago.

@1:58 - Sarah plays/likes tennis (the shirt)? Emma Raducanu is scheduled to play in Hong Kong late October this year.

Camping requires a nice self contained RV. Tents are for homeless or survival.
