5. 4.0 Jinjing Tea Plantations (1 review)
   - Biking in a peaceful tea plantations, cleaning your lungs in the mountains
   Spent More than 3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas • Gardens
   I live near the tea plantations and I know how beautiful the tea plantations can be in different seasons. Our town Jinjing has a long history of growing high quality green tea for over one thousand years since before Han Dynasty, thanks to the perfect weather in this mountainous area. The tea plantations and the government has invested high quality biking traits in our major plantation area, and bikes are there for rental, free if returned within two hours. Search for Julian's Country Inn and you will see some photos. In spring it was like a dreamland. The tea plantations are also home of the largest national tiger breeding center in China. At this stage the big cats are all Manchurian tigers but soon the second phase will be larger, and its mission will be help south China tigers to return to the wild. See more..
   
6. 4.0 Zuo Zongtang Tomb (1 review)
   - The final resting place of Gen. Tso
   Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Historic Sites • Cemeteries
   
   
   The namesake for the famous American-Chinese food dish "General Tso's Chicken," General Zuo Zongtang's tomb is simple. The original one, perhaps listed in the photo for this entry, was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. It as rebuilt in the 1980s and is very simple. There is no English signage so you need to read Chinese or bring someone with you to translate. The tomb was locked when we arrived but the caretaker next door happily unlocked it and even invited me to sign the guest book. It is located about 15 minutes from Changsha's South Railway Station. There is not obvious public transit so plan on having a taxi bring you and wait. See more..
   
7. 3.0 Songya Lake (1 review)
   - Nice place for sport and relax
   Bodies of Water • Parks • Gardens
   
   
   Songya lake is one of the bigger lake in changsha. This is a wild place not far for the city were it is possible to meet some water wildlife. There are a 10km pedestrian and bike road all around the lake, for the pleasure of sport practicers for biking and jogging. There are also many places were it is possible to rent bikes for: 1 , 2, 3 or even more passagers... 2 white sand beaches have been build in the northern part of the lake, but to avoid during week-end unless to appreciate very busy places. It take 2 hours to walk around the lake or less than 1 hour with a bike. A nice place to find fresh air. See more..
   
8. 3.0 Jinjing Reservoir (1 review)
   - A mountain surrounded lake with various gardens on the banks
   Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Dams
   
   
   I live close to Jinjing Reservoir, which is named as Jinjing Lake now. The lake will become a drinking water resource of the town, and the region so the environment is protected, no pollution to worry. In addition to that forest harvest is also restricted so the wild lives are coming back. The attractions include orchards on the bank which are amazing in spring when the peach flowers blossom. Government of Jinjing Town has built high quality road linking the major destinations of the town including JInjing Lake, with signs on the road to guide tourists to ride a bike. Renting bikes are free within two hours. There are two hundreds of bikes waiting for tourists to ride in different locations. Basically Jinjing Lake is a great place to explore the rural lifestyle of Changsha - you do not need to worry about the air pollution while biking in the peaceful green countryside, etc. See more..
