With three stories, it measures 17.5 meters in height, supported by 60 wood pillars. The park, a classically constructed mini-garden, was built in 1924 to protect the pavilion.

Orange Island Park

Orange Island, also known as Ju Island or Juzi Island, is a shoal located in the center of Xiangjiang River, opposite Hunan’s capital city of Changsha. It was named after the oranges scattered across the island during harvesting season.

Formed in 305, the island got its name in the sixth century, from the work by a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty (618–907). At 140 meters long and 40 meters wide, the island looks like a huge green vessel, covered in a carpet of flourishing trees. It is believed to be the largest inland islet in the world and is now a popular site for summer relaxing in Changsha as temperatures never go soaring high, not even May to July.

Fenghuang Ancient Town (Phoenix Town)

The Fenghuang Ancient Town is a small county town located in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Minorities Autonomous Region (western part of Hunan province). It was described as the most beautiful town in China by the Zelanian writer Louis Aileen. The town is the only path between Huahua, Jishou (Hunan province) and Tongren (Guizhou province) and a must-visit place to enjoy the real amorous feelings of the west part of Hunan province.

The town is very small with only a main street; however, it is a green corridor and charming place. It is located on the river bank of Tuojiang River (Tuojiang, 沱江), the small town was once the rallying point for politicos, warlords, bandits, and the local Miao minority people, we should say it was once a standard “barbarian” land.
