Personal Visit to Hunan Orphanages with English-Speaking Guide

About this activity

  • Over the past few decades, thousands of families worldwide have grown through the adoption of children from China—especially from Hunan Province, once one of the most active regions in international adoption.
  • If your child was born in Hunan and adopted from cities such as Changsha, Zhuzhou, Xiangtan, Hengyang, Changde, or Yongzhou, they may eventually feel a natural curiosity about their early life and origins.
  • As adoptees mature, many begin asking important questions: Where was I born? What is my birth city like today? What was the orphanage I came from? These deeply personal questions present a meaningful opportunity to support your child in exploring their identity and understanding their roots.
  • Please note that due to government policies, some orphanages are closed to visitors, relocated, or no longer exist. We can help arrange sightseeing at original locations, but entry cannot be guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.

Itinerary

  1. Orange Island Park

    one hour

    Orange Island Park is a picturesque, long and narrow island located in the Xiangjiang River, right at the heart of Changsha, Hunan Province. Known for its natural beauty and historical significance, the island is famous for being one of the Eight Grand Sights of Hunan—specifically renowned for the "Snow by River at Dusk," a poetic scene appreciated by ancient Chinese scholars.

    In addition to its stunning landscapes, Orange Island is historically famous for producing high-quality oranges, a tradition that dates back centuries. Today, it stands as a must-see tourist destination in Changsha, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and natural charm.

  2. Hunan

    30 min

    We’d like to kindly inform you that, due to current government policies, some orphanages are no longer open to the public or accepting visitors, even with advance arrangements and prior communication. In some cases, the original locations have also been relocated or no longer exist. If you would still like to visit the original locations for sightseeing and learn more about their history without entering the facilities, we’d be happy to assist as much as possible. However, we kindly ask for your understanding that visits inside these facilities or arrangements beyond our control may not be possible, and we’re unable to guarantee access. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and will do our best to make your visit as meaningful as possible within these limitations.
