Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Xichang is known as the Sunshine City for its rich light and heat resources. It is an ideal place to watch the sunrise. The beauty of Xichang's sunrise lies not only in the change of colors, but also in its tranquility and peace. In the early morning, Qionghai Lake welcomes the shining morning light. The lake surface of the wetland park is sparkling and golden. The morning glow fills the sky in the distance, and the scenery is charming. Standing on the top of Lushan Mountain, the sun rises slowly from the east, and the light gradually fills the mountains and Qionghai Lake below. The scenery is very spectacular. As the sun gradually rises, the whole city seems to be gently awakened. The mountains in the distance, the lakes nearby, and the scattered buildings all become vivid and full of vitality under the morning light. Here you can feel this gift from nature with a sincere heart and burst out with full energy.

A Must Go To Lake in Xichang🇨🇳

#timetotravel We went to Xichang for a company retreat and we were given 1 day to just explore the place. We didn't intend to come to this beautiful place but we stumbled upon it and we thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing walk especially feeling the breeze coming from the lake. You can also rent a bike if you are not fond of walking . We did both because there are some areas that bikes aren't allowed. There are many placea for you to eat in around the lake so it is very convenient. We walked quite far from the main scenic area so there weren't a lot of tourists around us. If you like to admire the beauty of nature alon and without a lot of people around then I suggest not to linger in the main scenic spot. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #lakes #chinatravel #attraction

Liangshan Prefecture | Two-day tour in Xichang

Liangshan Prefecture | Two-day tour in Xichang

⭐️Day 1: Dashiban Ancient Village—Jinlin Beach—Jianchang Ancient Town 1⃣️Morning 6:34-12:57 Chongqing North Station—Xichang West 2⃣️Take a taxi to a hotel near Lushan (not Lushan) Scenic Area. ⚠️The hotel I stayed at was well-located, but the hygiene was average. 3⃣️Eat beef/mutton rice noodles near the hotel, 15 yuan/bowl. There are strawberries for sale at the entrance of the restaurant, 7 yuan per jin. ⚠️The rice noodles were average, but the strawberries were delicious. 4⃣️Walk to the car rental to rent a bike, off-season bicycle 20/day, electric bike 60/day, electric-assist bicycle 50/day, must return the bike before 8 pm. ⚠️Electric bikes are not allowed on the boardwalk by the Qionghai Lake, electric-assist bikes are allowed, but not as fast as electric bikes, and it's a bit difficult to balance when carrying a passenger. If you're not circling the lake, rent an electric bike for longer trips; rent a bicycle for shorter trips. If you want to circle the lake, rent an electric-assist bike. 5⃣️Ride to Dashiban Ancient Village, where the buildings are staggered in height, and the walls are all orange, making it very photogenic. Inside is the Lingying Temple, preserving the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty. ⚠️It is recommended to wear ancient-style clothing, and there are also ethnic costumes for rent and photo shoots inside. 6⃣️Ride to Jinlin Beach to watch the sunset. ⚠️It has a Dali feel here, arrive around 6 pm to see the sunset. 7⃣️Ride back in the evening to return the bike, then take a taxi to Jianchang Ancient Town. ⚠️The night view of the ancient town is similar to others, but it's not commercialized, suitable for a walk in the evening. There are snack stalls on the road, as well as barbecue restaurants. 8⃣️Take a taxi back to the hotel. 🌟Day 2: Lushan Scenic Area—Qionghai (Fishing Terrace)—Yinlin Beach—Tang Garden 1⃣️Have breakfast at the restaurant at the hotel entrance 2⃣️Walk for about ten minutes to the entrance of Lushan Scenic Area to queue for the cable car. It's a good spot to view the entire Qionghai Lake. ⚠️ The round-trip cable car is 55, and taking the cable car up and the slide down is 65. Go early to queue, otherwise, there are a lot of people, we waited for more than an hour. 3⃣️The original plan was to rent bikes to circle the lake in the afternoon, but it rained halfway, so we didn't rent bikes. We casually bought a group deal at a restaurant to eat fish, then walked to the seaside. If riding, consider going to the Fishing Terrace, Moonlight Town, Yinlin Beach, and Little Jeju Island, all of which are on the lake circuit and suitable for photo ops. ⚠️Be sure to bring a jacket, the wind is very strong by the sea. 4⃣️Take the bus to Qionghai Bay Banyue Hotel, with Yinlin Beach right behind it ⚠️This place is suitable for children to play in the sand. Although it's man-made, the white sand is quite distinctive. 5⃣️Take the bus back to the hotel to get luggage, then take a taxi to Wuyanger Xichang Barbecue, next to Tang Garden, where you can take a stroll and take pictures. ⚠️The barbecue tastes very good, there are many people queuing up in the evening, it is recommended to call ahead for reservations, and group purchase vouchers are available. 6⃣️Take a taxi to Xichang West Station to go to Panzhihua for fun. ⚠️Since Xichang is very close to Panzhihua, the train takes only 2 hours and costs 5.5, so we decided to go to Panzhihua for another two days of fun.

Watch Monkeys Fight at a Millennium-Old Temple | Lushan, Xichang, Liangshan Prefecture

Watch Monkeys Fight at a Millennium-Old Temple | Lushan, Xichang, Liangshan Prefecture

This Lushan is not the Lushan in Jiangxi Province. This time, we are introducing Lushan in Xichang, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Lushan, also known as Wa Mountain, is known as the "Scenic Spot of Southern Sichuan". The mountain is covered with ancient trees, and more than ten ancient temples built in the Han, Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties are hidden among the dense shade. They belong to Taoism and Buddhism. Although their religious rules and philosophical thoughts are different, they have been able to live in harmony on the same mountain for thousands of years and spread their own teachings, which is rare in the country. To climb Lushan, the first choice is the CNY 65 cable car up and slide down combo ticket. You can often see monkeys chasing and playing while sitting on the cable car, and the slide down is super fun. You can also choose to take a sightseeing bus, which costs CNY 5. Lushan has beautiful mountains and ancient trees, and is a natural green barrier for Xichang. The forest is home to a wide variety of rare animals and plants, including the Jiulong Han Cypress, one of the top ten "Tree Kings of Bashu" with a history of 2,000 years, which is unique in the world. Location: Lushan Scenic Area, Xichang (right next to Qionghai) Transportation For those taking the sightseeing bus or hiking up the mountain, take the bus to [Lushan Station] For those taking the cable car up the mountain, take the bus to [Qionghai Park Station] Tips: 1. About watching monkeys: The monkey group is on the hiking trail on the right side of the mountain direction of Guangfu Temple, and there are fewer monkeys as you go up the mountain; do not hold snacks, water, or yogurt in your hand, as they may be snatched by monkeys. 2. Both the cable car and the sightseeing bus can only reach Guangfu Temple, and you can only choose to walk to the top of Lushan and the observation deck. 3. Cable car and slide opening hours: 9:00–17:30. It is best to buy tickets on site, as online tickets also need to be picked up on site. 4. About dining: There are tea houses on the mountain and vegetarian meals (CNY 20/person buffet) in the temple, which are very cost-effective!

Who can resist Xichang in July?

Who can resist Xichang in July?

If you missed Xichang in early spring, you definitely shouldn't miss it in July! Here's a guide to traveling in Xichang. Today is the Torch Festival, the grandest festival of the year in Xichang. Seeing it in person is truly breathtaking 🎆 🚄 Transportation: The best way to get from Chengdu to Xichang is by high-speed train. Make sure to book your tickets in advance. Many locals return home to prepare for the festival, so I booked early. It worked out well for the two of us 💪 🌞 Weather: Xichang isn't too hot at this time of year, so get your photo-ready outfits ready 💝 🏠 Accommodation: Of course, we stayed at the Moonlight Town in the Xichang Jizhou Island branch! I chose the Shuxia Hotel in Xichang, a high-end hotel. The room had a terrace where you could sit and watch Qionghai Lake. There's also a café, perfect for taking photos. 🍚 Food: I highly recommend the Xiaoyucun BBQ 🍻. It's very unique, and any place you choose will have great flavors. If you can't handle spicy food, make sure to ask for mild spice. The must-try dish is the grilled fish slices. I can eat 20 skewers by myself! 😍😍😍 For breakfast, try the beef rice noodles. Be sure to add mint—it's unforgettable.

The secret of southern Sichuan, Xichang is a must-see!

The secret of southern Sichuan, Xichang is a must-see!

📍Xichang is located in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is known as the "Little Spring City" for its spring-like weather all year round. 🌟Must-see attractions: • Qionghai Lake: The second largest freshwater lake in Sichuan Province. You can stroll along the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery, or rent a bike and ride along the lake 🚲. There are many unique homestays around the lake. Choose one by the lake, and enjoy the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening. • Lushan Mountain: Connected to Qionghai Lake Scenic Area, it is known as the "Scenic Spot of Southern Sichuan". The mountain is covered with dense vegetation and fresh air. You can hike or take a cable car 🚡. At the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole view of Qionghai Lake and Xichang City. There are also many temples on the mountain, where you can experience the unique religious culture. 🍱Local food: • Xichang BBQ: A must-try in Xichang! The unique fire pit BBQ, where various meats, vegetables, etc. are grilled on the fire pit and served with unique dipping sauces, is super delicious 😎. • Drunken shrimp: Fresh shrimp marinated with wine and seasonings, smooth and tender, is a unique dish. • Tuotuo meat: A traditional Yi dish, large pieces of pork cooked and mixed with seasonings, is fatty but not greasy. 🎈Travel tips: • You can plan a two-day trip, visiting Lushan Mountain in the morning and relaxing by Qionghai Lake in the afternoon on the first day. Enjoy Xichang BBQ at night and experience the local nightlife. On the second day, you can take a boat tour of Qionghai Lake and visit the surrounding wetland parks. • If you drive, it will be more convenient to travel, and parking is relatively easy. If you don't drive, you can take a bus or taxi in the city. 💡Tips: • Xichang has strong UV rays, so be sure to take sun protection measures 🧴, such as sunscreen and sun hats. • Pay attention to food hygiene when eating raw food such as drunken shrimp. • When visiting Lushan Mountain, take care of the environment and do not litter.

Xichang | Go to Dashiban Village.

Xichang | Go to Dashiban Village.

Qing dynasty temple architecture, with He-xi style paintings and Ming dynasty paintings of the 24 Filial Exemplars and various deities. The couplet on the front reads "A clear conscience is like a candle, selflessness is like incense," which is very reasonable. In good weather, there are crowds of people taking photos in Hanfu and Yi costumes by the yellow temple walls; when business is good, photographers are visibly excited. The temple is located in Dashiban Village, an important node on the Southern Silk Road and Ancient Tea Horse Road, and a leisure destination that Xichang is working hard to develop. I also visited it, and it was not bad.

Hushan | Go hiking, climb the life-threatening Hushan

Hushan | Go hiking, climb the life-threatening Hushan

At 10 o'clock in the morning, we took a taxi to the Lushan slide cableway. There were many people climbing the mountain on holidays, and the queue had already lined up to the gate. The staff also issued stools for tourists to queue up. We bought a package of 65r for the uphill cableway and downhill slide. After buying tickets on the spot, we can take the cableway with the current team. It takes about 1h from queuing to getting on the cable car, so it is recommended to get up early and start climbing. After getting off the cable car, we first went to the viewing platform to overlook Qionghai, which is very suitable for taking pictures, but the sun is baking here, although it is cool in the mountains, it is still recommended to bring a sun hat or wear sun protection clothing. A few steps up from the viewing platform is the Sanfu Temple. After a simple visit, we entered the mountain road and soon encountered many monkeys. In fact, there are monkeys all the way to the Guanyin Pavilion, just because there are shops selling peanuts here, so there are more monkeys gathered. There are fierce monkeys, who will grab the water and bags of tourists, and those who deliver food will also be very excited, so in order to avoid attacks, put food such as water in the bag, and don't deliberately provoke monkeys, protect yourself. Of course, there are also gentle monkeys, either waiting for feeding with their hands, or lying on the rocks for a nap. The monkeys are not afraid of people, as long as they don't really hit their faces with their phones, they won't attack you. There is a bathroom when you climb to the Guanyin Pavilion. Above the bathroom is a pavilion. If you go forward, there is a great view. There are not many people. The trees seem to have left a vacant lot for overlooking Qionghai. Under the blue sky, it seems to be bluer and more beautiful. This is simply a natural viewing platform. Here at the Guanyin Pavilion, there is a signpost indicating the way to the God of Wealth Temple. Follow the signpost until you see a small staircase leading to the temple. Go up the steps, there is a small shop run by a couple: dumplings, ice powder, fried potatoes, and tea. Sitting in the dam is very cool, listening to the Buddhist music of the temple, there is a sense of Zen. We climbed here, about 2.5h, one is that we can't climb up physically, and the other is that the top of the mountain is still far away. We estimate that we are afraid of less than half of the journey (with a guide map). We returned to the position of the cable car and took the slide. I have to emphasize again to climb the mountain early, because everyone goes down the mountain at almost the same time, and basically they all go down the mountain by slide, so the queue for the slide is longer, and it feels like it can be queued for 1h, and there are few people at the cableway. In order to save time, we chose to take the cableway down the mountain. Unlike the uphill facing Qionghai, the downhill is facing Qionghai, which is also considered to have lost the fun and picked up the scenery.
