Thanks

Jan is the coldest time of Changsha, with snow sometimes. Sweater and thick coat shouls be necessary. And do remember that no heating radiator inside. Keeping warm is the key. Don't know the specialities in Yongzhou. But there are som many things to buy in Changsha.
"The Xiang Embroidery (Xiang xiu) is the highlight, regarded in China as one of the four best embroidery types along with the Suzhou & Sichuan embroidery and the Yue embroidery from Guangdong.

Other specialties include the Xiang Tea (Xiang cha), porcelain & pottery, chrysanthemum stones, fans, firecrackers, lacquer reproductions, smoky quartz, bloodstone carvings, duck-down clothing and bamboo carvings, all of which can be bought in many stores around the city."

Yongzhou is near to Guilin. Maybe you can go to Guilin to enjoy the "most beautiful scenery landscape in the world".
