The commercial heart of Changsha; the bronze statue of Huang Xing at the street entrance is a memory landmark of old Changsha. To the north, the 452 m twin towers of Changsha IFS (International Finance Square) are Hunan's tallest buildings, and the KAWS sculpture at the top is a must-photograph city icon for the young; to the south, the bar street along Jiefang West Road lights up in unbroken neon after dark, earning the nickname “city that never sleeps”. Foot traffic in the Wuyi commercial area ranks among the nation's highest year-round — shopping, late-night snacks and night views can all be done in one trip.
Getting there: Metro Line 1/2, Wuyi Square Station
