马王堆汉墓遗址
While this may sound like a tourist attraction, it is simply the ditch in which the tombs were uncovered. There are no artifacts present as everything is now in the Hunan Provincial Museum.
湖南省博物馆
See the Han era tomb of Xin Zui, the Marquess of Dai, and her 2,100-year-old preserved body. Her body was still moist and flexible when they found her, with completely elastic skin, and looks more real than Ho Chi Minh. Also at the museum are many exhibits on all kinds of Han Dynasty artifacts, including pottery, lacquerware and an impressive collection of silk.
Changsha Concert Hall
A modern architectural landmark on the banks of the Xiang River. It hosts a variety of high-quality domestic and international musical performances. Even if you don't attend a show, its striking design is worth seeing from the outside.
长沙简牍博物馆 Changshu Jiandu Bowuguan
This museum contains ancient carved bamboo slips and a series of pottery artifacts. The building is architecturally interesting, as bamboo grows out of one side of it.
天心阁
This pavilion is next to the ancient city wall. Cannons that have been used to defend the city are perched in the wall.
白沙古井公园,白沙井 Baisha Well
This is a local park that contains a well. Although the well is nearly dry, you can still see people filling up containers with the little water that is left.
