After finishing my trip to Miyi, I took D168 to Xichang, Liangshan in Sichuan. I stayed at the Global 60,000 Miles International Hotel (Xichang Moon Lake Park Branch). Xichang, the capital of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, was formerly known as Qiongdu and Jianchang. It has a tropical plateau monsoon climate, with warm winters, cool summers, and spring-like weather all year round. It enjoys the reputation of being the "City of the Moon," "City of the Sun," "City of Space," and "Little Spring City"! It is one of the five most beautiful health and wellness destinations in China! Walking through the streets and alleys of Xichang and its surrounding areas, I was immersed in rich history and natural beauty. The Xichang Jianchang Ancient City, located on Shifu Street, has a history of over 600 years. Entering the semi-circular barbican on the south side, you can see the inscription "Datong Gate" on the lintel. From the adjacent Datong Garden, you can ascend the steps to the Datong Tower on the city wall. Walking on the city wall and overlooking the ancient city gives you a sense of traveling through time! The Yi grandmothers' square dancing on the city wall is captivating! The "Four Archways" are at the center of the ancient city, built at the intersection of four major streets: South Street, North Street, Fu Street, and Cang Street. The streets and alleys crisscross, forming a well-connected network! The Torch Square Music Base (Areniu Live-Action Theater) features 56 red circular pillars carved with totems, symbolizing the great unity of the nation. The Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture Ethnic Customs Park is a cultural base integrating traditional ethnic architecture, folk customs, song and dance performances, and ethnic cuisine. Unfortunately, it is currently undergoing renovation and is not open to the public. Tangyuan Park is a comprehensive urban park that integrates Tang Dynasty art, cultural tourism, and commercial operations! Tangyuan - Guizhou Pavilion and Tangyuan - Huaiyuan Tower are located within the park, which is also adorned with jacaranda trees! Qionghai National Wetland Park, formerly known as Qiongchi Lake, is shaped like a snail. With a circumference of 35 kilometers, it is the second largest natural freshwater lake in Sichuan and a recreational paradise for the people of Xichang! Wetland landscapes and activities such as Dream Water Village, Birdwatching Island, Misty Heron Island, Exotic Town, sculptures, squares, beaches, docks, and boat tours are scattered along the lakeshore. Strolling along the lake, you can enjoy the clear water, fish swimming in the shallows, water birds flying overhead, people taking photos, exercising, singing, dancing, and walking their children… a scene of peace and happiness! Although Xichang has a high altitude, it is just right, high enough for flowers to bloom all year round, for fruits to be fragrant, and for people to yearn for… After my visit to Xichang, my March 2025 journey through Kunming, Xishuangbanna, Pu'er, Yuxi, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Panzhihua, Miyi, and Xichang in Southwest Sichuan and Yunnan has come to a successful end. Tomorrow, I will take C76 back home!

In the afternoon, visit an Yi village to experience their folk culture, watch Yi song and dance performances, and feel their passionate spirit. Day 3: Jianchang Ancient City - Departure Visit Jianchang Ancient City during the day. Wander along the ancient city's cobblestone streets, touch the old city walls, and feel the passage of time.

If you're thinking of visiting Xichang without doing your homework, you'll likely miss out on a lot and run into some annoying problems. I learned this the hard way😫. So, I've put together this super practical guide to Xichang, plus essential tips for April travel. Save it now and get ready for an amazing trip! 🌞Xichang Weather 🌡️April in Xichang is beautiful, with temperatures gradually warming up, typically between 15℃ and 25℃. The days are sunny, so a long-sleeved T-shirt and a light jacket are perfect for strolling along Qionghai Lake or through the old town's alleys. You'll be comfortable enough to enjoy the sunshine and scenery while staying warm in the cool mornings and evenings. However, the temperature difference between day and night can be significant, especially by the lake, where the evening breeze can be chilly. Pack a light cardigan or windbreaker for extra warmth and style. Check the forecast before you go and adjust your clothing accordingly for a comfortable trip. ⚠️Xichang Travel Tips: ❌Around Xichang's train and bus stations, people may try to lure you into cheap hotels or "day trip" deals. Don't fall for it! These places are often dirty and run-down, and the "day trips" are full of tourist traps, like expensive shopping stops where you're pressured to buy things. Book your accommodation on reputable platforms and plan your own itinerary. ❌Near Qionghai Lake, some vendors sell so-called "Xichang specialties" like "fake South Red Agate jewelry" and "low-quality bitter buckwheat tea." These are often overpriced and of poor quality. For genuine souvenirs, go to reputable shops or established brands like "Zhengzhong Food." They have clearly marked prices and reliable quality, so you won't get ripped off. ❌Don't take photos with people dressed as "Yi people" on the street. They'll demand money afterward, and it won't be cheap. Also, ignore those handing out flyers and promo codes at scenic spots; they're usually just trying to get you to spend money. ✔️If you're visiting the Qionghai Wetlands, check the opening hours for each area beforehand. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon for soft lighting and stunning views of the shimmering lake and the wetlands' diverse ecosystem. Stick to designated paths and respect the environment by not trampling or picking plants. ✔️For authentic Xichang cuisine, head to Aerospace Road Food Street. You'll find established "Huopen Barbecue" restaurants serving fresh ingredients grilled over charcoal. The sizzling meat is incredibly fragrant and bursting with local flavor. Try the "Qionghai Drunken Shrimp," fresh shrimp marinated in local spices, for a delightful treat. Fengqingyuan Road is another foodie paradise, offering everything from rice noodles to Tuo Tuo meat, catering to diverse tastes. ✔️To enjoy Xichang's cityscape, visit Moonlight Town. In April, the town is adorned with flowers, offering stunning views of Qionghai Lake and a unique cultural atmosphere. Book your tickets online to avoid queues and take photos from different angles to capture the beauty. ✔️After exploring Xichang Ancient City, stroll along the city walls to soak in the historical ambiance and visit Datong Gate to admire the ancient architecture. If you want to take the sightseeing bus within the ancient city, wait at designated stops and check the schedule and routes beforehand. Don't go with random people offering rides, as they might overcharge you. ✔️If you're planning a trip to Luojishan, choose a clear day. In April, the mountain is lush green, with patches of snow creating a unique "spring snow" landscape. Book your tickets, cable car, and transportation online in advance to save time and money. Follow the mountain trails, respect the environment, and enjoy the scenery responsibly. 🏘Accommodation Recommendations ✔️Stay in Xichang city center or near Qionghai Lake. The city center offers convenient transportation, amenities, and a wide range of hotels from luxury to budget-friendly. Staying near the lake allows you to enjoy the tranquil lakeside atmosphere, especially in lakeside guesthouses where you can fall asleep to the gentle lapping of water. Book in advance, especially during peak season, to avoid disappointment. ❌While guesthouses in remote areas might seem cheaper, they often lack convenient transportation and amenities. You'll waste time traveling, and the lack of facilities and lighting can be risky, especially in emergencies. Choose your accommodation carefully. 📍Xichang Transportation: Xichang's attractions are spread out, but buses and subways are the most convenient ways to get around, covering almost all major spots. Get a Xichang public transport card or use a mobile payment app for easy travel. To reach Luojishan, take a bus to Xichang Bus Terminal and transfer to a dedicated Luojishan bus. When taking a taxi, confirm the destination and price with the driver to avoid disputes. Plan your transportation in advance for a smooth trip!

"Xichang, the Moon City, has lively mountains and rivers, warm sunshine and a variety of customs." In April, Xichang is bright and sunny with a gentle breeze. It is a perfect time to go to this charming city and start a wonderful 48-hour journey. 📍Day 1: Stroll along the shore of Qionghai Lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery 1️⃣ Qionghai Wetland Stepping into the Qionghai Wetland is like entering a paradise. In April in Xichang, the wetlands are full of greenery and colorful flowers. Strolling along the wooden plank road, the lake water under your feet is sparkling, and the breeze blows, rippling the water. Water birds are playing on the lake, sometimes flapping their wings and flying high, sometimes lightly tapping the water surface, and their cheerful chirping sounds echo in the air😃. On both sides of the plank road, various rare plants are thriving, as if you have walked into a natural botanical garden. 📸Photography Tips: Stand on the observation deck of the wetland, with the vast Qionghai Lake and the mountains in the distance as the background, put on bright spring clothes, open your arms, and capture the moment of embracing nature, showing your heroism and love for beautiful scenery; or squat down, with the reed marshes by the lake and the water birds in the shallows as the background, gently pick up a fallen petal, and take a fresh and artistic picture to freeze the beauty of Qionghai Lake. 2️⃣ Moonlight Town Close to the Qionghai Wetland, the Moonlight Town is full of romance. The town is built along the lake, with white walls and black tiles arranged in an orderly manner. While strolling, you can smell the aroma of coffee from the coffee shops on the street. Find a small shop by the lake, sit down, order a cup of coffee, and pair it with a plate of Xichang specialty roasted milk fan. The milk fan is sweet and the coffee is mellow, and you can feel the pleasant afternoon time😋. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the town, and the whole town is dyed in warm colors, like a beautiful oil painting. 3️⃣ Xichang City (Evening) In the evening, we returned to Xichang city.

In April, the Luoji Mountain is filled with spring and the air is exceptionally fresh. Take the cable car slowly up the mountain. As the altitude increases, the scenery in front of you becomes more magnificent. There are lakes scattered all over the mountains, and the water is turquoise and clear, like gems inlaid in the mountains💎. Along the way, you can also see rhododendrons all over the mountains, red like fire, white like snow, and pink like clouds. Walking among them, it feels like being in a fairyland. 📸Photo Tips: At the lake of Luoji Mountain, with the azure blue water and the surrounding azaleas as the background, put on light sportswear, squat down, sniff the flowers, capture the moment of being close to nature and show your innocence; or stand on the observation deck on the top of the mountain, with the vast mountain scenery and the sea of ​​clouds below as the background, open your arms, capture the moment of embracing nature and show your vitality. 2️⃣ Luoji Jiujiuli Hot Spring Waterfall (Specially Beautiful in Spring) Leaving Luoji Mountain, we headed to Luoji Jiujukuri Hot Spring Waterfall. In April, the hot spring water here evaporates into wisps of mist under the spring sunshine, and the hot spring waterfall cascades down from the mountains, magnificent and majestic. Find a suitable spring pool, soak in the warm spring water, and feel the relaxation of body and mind. You are surrounded by green mountains and trees, and you can see the blue sky and white clouds when you look up. It is very comfortable. 3️⃣ Xichang City (dinner) In the evening, we returned to Xichang city. The city was brightly lit. I went to the food street again and picked some delicious dishes I had never tried before. I ended this unforgettable 48-hour trip to Xichang by savoring the delicious food. 🏨【Accommodation recommendation】 It is recommended to stay around Qionghai Lake, where there are many sea view hotels and characteristic B&Bs to choose from.

|A romantic winter poem in Colorful Yunnan. I. Geographical Coordinates and Natural Wonders In the warm basin of southwest Sichuan, Xichang, with its unique subtropical monsoon climate, nurtures China's most unique cherry blossom landscape. Unlike the traditional spring cherry blossom tide, the Cherry Blossom Valley (Qinglong Temple area) on the east bank of Qionghai Lake and the Xiaoqing River basin see thousands of acres of winter cherry blossoms and Taiwan cherry blossoms bloom from December to March every year. These cherry blossom forests grow by the mountains and water, and the pink, crimson, and deep red petals form a three-color symphony with the blue waves of Qionghai Lake and the verdant greenery of Lu Mountain. Especially in front of the ancient buildings of Qinglong Temple, the cherry blossoms and the upturned eaves create a harmonious picture of movement and stillness. II. Botanical Secrets and Cultural Imagery Xichang cherry blossoms include five rare varieties: 1. Winter cherry blossom (Prunus cerasoides)—A rare winter-flowering variety in China, with deep red flowers hanging from the branches like flames, blooming from New Year's Day to the Lunar New Year. 2. Taiwan cherry blossom (Cerasus campanulata)—Its bell-shaped flowers and early spring blooming habit make it a messenger connecting winter and spring. From January to March, the crimson sea of flowers looks like clouds and mist. 3. Hisakura cherry blossom and Yamazakura cherry blossom—The gradient colors from pink to white compose the prelude to spring, creating a dreamy scene of falling petals from March to April. Cherry blossoms are endowed with a double cultural meaning here: In the Yi epic poem "Le'ert Yi", cherry blossoms are regarded as "the totem of life on the ancestors' migration route"; in the contemporary cultural tourism context, they have become a symbol of "the gentle side of the space city", forming an aesthetic contrast with the rigid lines of the satellite launch tower. III. Landscape Narrative and Spatial Poetics The design of Cherry Blossom Valley fully integrates topography and humanities: - Terraced flower sea: The cherry blossom forests distributed along both banks of the Xiaoqing River form a three-dimensional flower waterfall through the terraced structure with a drop of 30 meters. When tourists walk through the stone slab trails, they can experience the immersive feeling of "walking among flowers, flowers flowing with the mountain". - Light and shadow theater: The reflection of the cherry blossom lake in the morning glow is like a Monet oil painting, while when night falls, the intelligent lighting system renders the petals into a flowing galaxy. Coupled with the Yi moon guitar performance, it creates a four-dimensional art space of "sound, light, flower, and shadow". - Ecological museum: Herbaceous plants such as platycodon grandiflorus and dianthus, which are mixed under the forest, form a vertical ecological community with the cherry blossoms in the canopy layer. The setting of insect hotels and bird-watching walls makes this place a natural education classroom. IV. Humanistic Memory and Urban Spirit Xichang cherry blossoms carry unique collective memories: - Festival symbol: The annual "Cherry Blossom Market" held around the Yi New Year combines traditional wool felting crafts, buckwheat cake making, and cherry blossom tea ceremony, forming a dialogue between old and new cultures. - Literary imagery: Local poet Aku Wuwu wrote in "Cherry Blossom Language": "The ripples of Qionghai Lake imprint the folds of petals, translating the coldness of winter into the code of spring", giving cherry blossoms a philosophical sense of transcendence of time and space. - Ecological declaration: As an important node of the ecological barrier project in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the expansion of cherry blossom forests witnesses the city's transformation from "mineral dependence" to "green economy". The annual cherry blossom adoption activity in March has become a concrete expression of citizens' environmental awareness. V. Viewing Guide and In-depth Experience - Golden photography spots: The Qinglong Temple viewing platform (ancient architecture and cherry blossoms), the Xiaoqing River arch bridge (water flower shadows), and the southern slope of Cherry Blossom Valley (sunrise flower sea) constitute the three classic locations. - Limited experience: The "Cherry Blossom Star Trail Map" exhibition created by space workers transforms satellite remote sensing data into art installations, showcasing the integration of technology and nature. - Taste memory: The cherry blossom feast launched by Qionghai Hotel uses salted petals to make "cherry blossom jelly" and "cherry blossom sea bass", continuing the ancient wisdom of "cherry vinegar" in "Qimin Yaoshu". This pink miracle blooming at 27° north latitude is not only a masterpiece of nature, but also a crystallization of human ecological wisdom. As the Beidou satellite streaks across the night sky of Cherry Blossom Valley, the flowers of life on the ancient land are writing an ecological fable belonging to this era. 💟 Estimated blooming time: April 20-25

🌊A boat ride on Lugu Lake is an unmissable experience. The canoes here are the traditional watercraft of the Mosuo people and are now a wonderful way for visitors to get close to the lake. 🛶The canoes are made from a single hollowed-out log, sharpened at both ends, hence the name. These boats are flat and wide and are propelled entirely by manpower. The larger boats can accommodate 10–15 people, while the smaller ones can hold 8. 🌊At wharfs such as Daluoshui and Sanjia Village, there are many canoes available at regulated prices. Take a canoe around the lake and you can admire Liwubi Island in the middle of the lake, the clear waters, and the water lilies on the surface. 🛶The Mosuo people who row the boats will also take you around the island, where you will be surrounded by seabirds, which is very interesting. If you set off early in the morning, you can also admire the sunrise over the lake at the Lige pier and experience the tranquility and beauty of Lugu Lake. 🏨Recommended hotel: Gomay · The Nests Hotel (Xichang Qionghai 17 Degrees Wanda Plaza) 🌟Spring in Xichang is a picturesque scene of sunshine and floral fragrance.
