One-Day Trip to Water Fun Spots in Changsha: Aerial Drifting Recommended!
How to spend the weekend? Lying in bed playing on your phone all day—such beautiful time shouldn't be wasted! Early summer is here, the weekend never stops.
Shiyan Lake's cool summer has the scenery you yearn for and dreams within reach. Just be a passerby and turn Shiyan Lake's Ten-Mile Gallery into a place you've walked through.
Come to Shiyan Lake, encounter the scenery, encounter you, and meet in the most beautiful views.
The fully transparent cross-island glass bridge at Shiyan Lake spans from Furong Peak across the lake to connect with the Nanhai Monkey Island in the center.
The bridge is 200 meters long, 720° fully transparent, reflecting the blue sky and clear water beneath your feet, with a panoramic view of the verdant distant mountains, as if strolling on clouds—beautifully thrilling, joyfully screaming, while being immersed in the landscape.
Shiyan Lake Scenic Area's aerial drifting is 420 meters long. Rushing down at full speed, white waves splash against you as the rubber boat carries you through—extremely exhilarating!
The fully transparent slide offers an unobstructed view of the mountain scenery, with forest breezes mixed with birdsong and floral fragrance, watching the rolling hills, lush greenery, and picturesque landscapes. The entire route is shaded by forest canopy, so you don't have to worry about getting tanned.
Water Flying Man—Jet Ski Surfing
Jet skis cruise on the water, electric surfboards glide across the surface, and suddenly, they perform a beautiful backflip in the air, pushing the atmosphere to one climax after another.
With thrilling performances and exciting viewing experiences, you don't have to go all the way to the seaside—enjoy superb water gliding right at Shiyan Lake! If you want to give it a try, don't hesitate.
Scenic Area—Jungle Crossing
Experience jungle crossing, become a tree elf, and shuttle among the trees. Feel the dual thrill of physical strength and endurance, 10 meters above the ground, with three levels of difficulty to choose from. Shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, traverse the jungle together, overcome obstacles, reach the finish line. Bring your big and little treasures to experience the excitement of this challenge.
The hills are covered in green, and windmills fill the view. Every spring, Shiyan Lake transforms into an “ocean of windmills.” Amid the blooming spring flowers, it adds a touch of fantasy. Bring your kids to experience a wind concert. This place is known as “one of the best spots for kid-friendly outings around Changsha,” a parent-and-child destination where parents can relax and children have fun.
The first community-interactive immersive situational drama “Guan Yu Battles Changsha” is performed at the Thousand-Person Theater at Shiyan Lake. The legendary story from over a thousand years ago is vividly recreated, immersing you in it, dreaming through millennia, with lines sung for ages. Guan Yu's steed, Red Hare, leaps across a dangerous gorge at a critical moment—this is the famous Changsha place name “Tiaoma Jian,” whose ruins are located in the Shiyan Lake Tourist Area. Guan Yu's loyal and righteous image has always been a topic of conversation among Changsha people.
