Changsha 🌏 🌱

#earthdayjourney 🌱 Orange Isle – A Green Escape in the City We explored Orange Isle, a beautiful island in the Xiang River, known for its lush greenery and commitment to environmental preservation. The island promotes sustainable tourism by maintaining its natural landscapes, encouraging cycling instead of motorized transport, and reducing waste with recycling initiatives. Walking along its tree-lined paths, we admired how Changsha preserves this natural gem while providing a refreshing escape from urban life. I would recommend renting a bike or simply taking a slow stroll to enjoy the fresh air and learn about the island’s ecological efforts. 🚴♂️🌿 📍 Address: Juzi Island, Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan, China 🌾 Dawei Mountain National Forest Park – A Breath of Fresh Air We ventured to Dawei Mountain National Forest Park, an ecological paradise filled with dense forests, clean rivers, and rich biodiversity. This park plays a vital role in carbon absorption, helping combat climate change while offering visitors an opportunity to reconnect with nature. Sustainable tourism practices here include limited visitor access to fragile ecosystems and strict conservation policies to protect the region’s wildlife. I would recommend an early morning hike to experience the mist-covered mountains and the untouched beauty of this natural reserve. 🌳🍃 📍 Address: Dawei Mountain National Forest Park, Liuyang, Changsha, Hunan, China 🌎 Changsha Window of the World Eco Zone – A Green Learning Experience We visited the eco-friendly section of Changsha’s Window of the World, a cultural theme park that integrates environmental education into its attractions. This area promotes green energy, features upcycled art installations, and hosts interactive workshops on sustainability. The park actively reduces its carbon footprint by using renewable energy sources and promoting water conservation. I would recommend joining one of the Earth Day-themed activities to learn how small lifestyle changes can contribute to a healthier planet. 🌱♻️ 📍 Address: No. 485 Sanyi Avenue, Wangcheng District, Changsha, Hunan, China
