Visiting aunt and uncle in Changsha

Back to my 'Trip to Changsha to visit aunt' blog

Changsha, Hunan, China
Tuesday, June 1, 1982

This was a train trip with my brother from Beijing to visit aunt Aiyue and uncle Chenghua in Changsha. We took piano lessons from my aunt, who is an orchestra conductor. We also walked around town, saw the Yuelu mountain on the west side of the Xiang River, and the beautiful Orange Island in the river full of orange trees. It was a nice holiday (children's holiday, June 1st) trip. This was the first time me and my brother took a long train trip on our own. On the train my brother lit some fireworks in the lavatory, which got us lectures on safety from the train conductors.
