Ms. Smith was a nurse superintendent of nurses and nursing educator with Yale-China Association (Yale in China) Hsiang-Ya Hospital and Nursing School from 1921-1927. In her letters home she frequently mentions hikes to and picnics on the summit of Mt. Yuelu which she knew as Yolo-san. One her more humous accounts is a picnic with a gentleman friend amoung "bats and bugs"
The Orange Island should be the most famous attraction in Changsha because of chairman Mao's famous poet. In fact, it is really an excellent place for sightseeing. Sitting in the pavillion on the island, feeling the gentle breeze from the Xiangjiang River, looking into the distance of the Yuelu mountain, especially when all the maple leaves all redden in Autumn. That will be a lifelong memory for you if you have experienced it by yourself.
The No.1 Xiangjiang Bridge built across the island. Transportation to the Orange Island is rather convenient.
Universities in Changsha CATHERINE | Mar 31, 2005 10:53
In my opinion, there are three universities in Changsha that worth mentioning, namely Hunan University, Hunan Normal University and Central South University. They are all key universities of the whole country and among the 100 universities of the National Ministry of Education.
These three universities are all located along the Xiangjiang River, at the foot of Yuelu Mountain with picturesque scenery and dense academical atmosphere.
