| Comments about Hotel: |
Fairly new, 5 stars (Chinese stars), pool was nice but VERY crowded on weekends. Three very good restaurants. Business center with Internet access and FAX. Very friendly staff. Very clean for a Chinese hotel though not quite up to the White Swan. Short taxi ride to shopping areas. It is fairly close to one of the orphanages, like walking distance. |

| Places to eat we liked: |
Hunan Style restaurant was really good. They had a special Singapore buffet in the main restaurant. Special presentation changes every few weeks. They also had a fancier restaurant with live music on traditional Chinese instruments, informal dress but slightly more "exotic" menu...lots of things Americans are definitely not used to eating. |
| Things you ought to know while staying here: |
Changsha is very much built up from when we adopted there in October '95! |
