We arrived at Changsha late at night after flying direct from Sydney to Shenzen and then catching the fast train that evening to Changsha. Stayed at the Changsha Orange Fruit Hotel.

Next day we were to travel to Zhangjiajie, but took a couple of hours to visit the Hunan Museum.

Artefacts excavated from the Ma Wang Dui tomb are housed here, including the legendary cadaver of Madam Xin Zhui, preserved from the West Han period (almost 2000 years ago).
