Orange Isle: Remembering a Great Man

The Xiang River flows north, past Orange Isle, where the water is clear and boats race each other. Orange Isle is where a great man once pointed out the beauty of the land. It is located in the center of the Xiang River, running from south to north, and is known as "China's No. 1 Isle" and Changsha's most popular landmark. The Mao Zedong Youth Art Sculpture is made of stones measuring 1.2 x 0.6 meters, representing December 26. The sculpture is 32 meters high, representing the age of 32 in 1952. The sculpture is 83 meters long and 41 meters wide, representing the number of the guard unit at the time. The 8,000 stones used in the sculpture are "Yongding Red," symbolizing "eternal red land." 🚞🚞The most convenient way to get to Orange Isle: Take the subway🚇 to Qinglian Station on Orange Isle, and after entering the scenic area, you can take the small train (CNY 40 per person round trip, CNY 25 one way) directly to the sculpture.
