 | I intend to travel by bus from Fenghuang to Changsha. If anyone knows these information I hope you can help. 1. Does anyone know what time the bus arrives in Changsha? Or how long it takes? 2. Where does it arrive at? 3. Is that location close to the railway station? 4. How far is Walking Street from the railway station? 5. Is Changsha safe to travel alone? Taxis safe? 6. Where can I go in a few hours in Changsha? I plan to go to Walking Street for dinner before my 11:30pm train. Anywhere else can I fit in with a short time frame? Thanks in advance!  |

Arrival place :Changsha west bus station 3. A little far about 40 minutes drive , and you can easy find bus stop and take 312 public bus 3 rmb from the west train station directly to the final stop the railway station . 4.only 20 minutes by bus from railway station to walking street and actually when you take the 312 bus also will across it when the bus across a bridge over our mother river --xiang river . 5.Changsha is the capital of my province and of course safe there but you also need to take care of your belongs in case of crowded people in walking street ! Taxi also safe but you shoule show your Chinese language !! 6.If you like you can travel in Tangerine island under the bridge you will see by bus 312 and it's open untill midnight after your dinner in walking street, and enjoy the beautiful night in Changsha . Or just travelling in walking street if you like shopping or enjoy a movie in the cinema, many colorful shops there and not a bad choice . at last call me if you need : 13298555111 Tina , enjoy your trip and nice to meet you !!! |

| Tina writes well. But as per my personal experience, Hunan,its capital city changsha most bad city in China. I traveled last month 4 cities with Changsha & near to it. WHo can read Chinese, search in the web, can see many criminal activities in this province, even law & order in this province too low standard, |

| Thanks Tina & Lionpower. We have changed our plans to go to Huaihua, Fenghuang and Zhangjiajie. Any recommendations about those places? Security and safety is good there? Any special Hunan food that must be tried? (I can read chinese, if you have the food names you can type it for me?) Which places are must see places? Is the bus route safe? i hear sometimes the buses travel on really dangerous roads... Thanks! |

| 1) I think the bus would take about 10 hours. 2) Changsha West long-distance bus station. 3) No. 4) Do you mean Huangxing Nanlu pedestrian street. That's about 5 km by taxi from Changsha main train station. 5) Generally, yes. I've been to Changsha a few times and have no bad experiences at all so far. 6) Personally, I would highly recommend the Hunan Provincial Museum. I think it closes at 1700 though. Most sights close around the same time. What would you deem "must-see places"? Well, dangerous roads or not, there's nothing you can do about it if you want to go there, is there? Personally I would prefer to take train and then change to bus, not bus the entire way even though it looks to be more direct. There're direct buses from Changsha airport to Zhuzhou, leaving at 1030, 1430, 1630 and 1800. Fare is 40 RMB/pax. |

| Erm... why the spam?! |

| Ellyse: What spam? Tina: Thanks for the info. We will get to Huaihua by train and go to Fenghuang by bus. But we will be walking. Is the wind-rain wooden bridge or any good food around the railway station or bus station? I think we won't spend more than 1-2 hours in Huaihua. Do you think it is worth staying longer? |

| well , the wind-rain bridge , it depends , if you are intrested classic structure. and if you just stay there closed to the train or bus station , just walking along the street and check some crowded small resturants, and duck hot pot served every local shops ! |
