Stroll down Tanmang Road to experience the historical pulse of Xiangtan, China's famed "Manganese Capital"! This charismatic street brilliantly blends retro charm with modern energy, where 1950s factory buildings stand shoulder-to-shoulder with hipster cafes. Photographers will adore the vine-covered iron staircases and rust-red brick walls, while foodies can hunt for authentic stinky tofu and caramel rice cakes in hidden alleys. As sunset gilds the cast-iron railings, join locals under phoenix trees with an iced mung bean drink, listening to old-timers spin tales of Xiangtan's industrial glory days.
