Jinlin sand beach is a perfect location to enjoy the sun while making sand castles next to the water body. It’s easy to find a parking and there is a shuttle service to the beach. We also enjoyed a group cycle on our way back. Though it was tough to climb, the way down was equally fun. There is also a Buddhist temple nearby, the sound of prayers are soothing and relaxing. Suggest to take along a folding tent and plenty of drinking water and snacks with you. You can also take a walk along the Qionghai sea and enjoy the greenery. #freehotelstay #beachlife

Qionghai Park is a great place to enjoy the sea and sunbathe. Jinlin Beach is the best place to watch the sunset. The unique orange walls of Lingying Temple in Dashiban Ancient Town attract many tourists to take photos. The bus around the lake connects the scenic spots along Qionghai Lake, which is very convenient. Bus 106 also goes to most of the scenic spots, but note that the fare is charged by section, and you need to scan the code when getting on and off the bus.

3️⃣ hours from Chengdu, who knows the value of this romantic purple moment? The flower language of jacaranda: [Waiting for love in despair!] In two months, the jacaranda will be in full bloom. You can easily check in to the fairytale-like purple romance without leaving Sichuan. Flowering period: Mid-April to early May High-speed rail: Chengdu-Xichang, about 3 hours Bus: Xichang City will open a free bus line for jacaranda viewing from mid-April to May Day. Daily operation time: 9:30-21:30, starting point (Xichang West High-speed Railway Station) - end point (Xichang Wanda Plaza) Accommodation: It is recommended to stay at "Qionghai No. 17" opposite Wanda Plaza. There are many hotels and homestays to choose from, the location is convenient, and the terminal of the free flower viewing bus is here. Electric car: It is not recommended to rent an electric car to go to each check-in point, because the price is relatively expensive, generally 50-100 yuan/person/day, and the cost performance is not high. Xichang City is not big, and the cost of taking a taxi + walking is far less than that. The daily round-trip taxi fare is about 30-40 yuan. Check-in props: Liangshan Snow (must-have), straw hat, white dress, sun hat, sunglasses, parasol Play time: 8-10 am, 4-6 pm is the best, the ultraviolet rays are very strong at noon, and it is very hot outdoors, so it is recommended to rest in the hotel. Summary of jacaranda check-in points 1⃣️Aerospace North Road This street is of course the top stream of jacaranda check-in! The jacaranda trees are very large, and the street is not wide, so it is very suitable for taking pictures and checking in. But there are also a lot of tourists! However, drones cannot be flown on Aerospace North Road. 2⃣️Jianchang Road (Jianchang Pavilion Archway) The jacaranda on this street is also very good, very suitable for taking citywalk fresh photos. Since the archway has stairs to go up, this is the only place where you can take a bird's-eye view of the jacaranda street scene without a drone. It is very suitable for taking pictures of people, cars and flowers in the same frame. 3⃣️Entrepreneurship and Innovation Road The jacaranda on this street is also very lush, and it is very niche, and not many tourists know about it, and drones can be flown on this street, so the jacaranda street scene from a bird's-eye view is also the best! For example, the first picture! 4⃣️Wenhui East Road There are several large jacarandas at both ends of this street, and drones can also be flown. The street is narrow, and it is easy to capture empty and clean street scenes. 5⃣️Aerospace Avenue Section 3 (Bridge next to Holiday Inn Express) This point is very niche, the jacaranda next to the bridge is very good, and because the height of the bridge is just at the position of the flower, it is a very suitable point for taking portraits, and the afterglow of the sunset is just right here at 17:00-18:00 in the afternoon

Best Time to Visit - Jacaranda trees usually start to bloom in early April. The best time to visit is from mid-April to the May Day holiday. The flowers bloom for about a month. Transportation - Getting to Xichang: Fly to Xichang Qingshan Airport, then take the airport shuttle bus or a taxi to the city center. You can also take a train or high-speed train to Xichang Railway Station or Xichang High-speed Railway Station, which are connected to many lines. You can also drive from Chengdu to Xichang along the G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway. - Getting around Xichang: You can get a Xichang bus card on Alipay and take the bus. You can also take a taxi, ride a bike, or drive. Bus 106 is a tourist line that goes around Qionghai Lake and stops at many attractions. Where to See Jacaranda - Hangtian North Road: The jacaranda trees here are old and have dense flowers. It is a popular photo spot. From a distance, it looks like a blue ocean. You can navigate to Tengyunlou Hotel and take photos on the bridge or by the flower bed with the jacaranda trees in the background.  - Jianchang Road: The ancient Jianchang Archway and the jacaranda trees complement each other, making for unique photos.  - Wenhui Road: The road is narrow, but the jacaranda trees on both sides are dense, forming a "purple tunnel" that is perfect for walking and taking photos.  - Chuangye Chuangxin Road: This is a less popular route. The blue and purple flowers hang from the branches, like a dream road.  Where to Stay - Hotels in the city center: There are many hotels near Qionghai 17 Degrees. There is a Wanda Plaza across the street, and there are many restaurants nearby. It is also convenient to visit attractions in the city center. - Unique homestays: You can stay at a homestay near Jianchang Ancient City to experience the ancient city atmosphere and see the jacaranda trees.

In the folds of time, there are always moments like bright stars embedded deep in memory, shining brightly. The sunset at Xichang Moon Bay is such a dreamy encounter that is unforgettable for a lifetime. When the first ray of sunset gently falls on the lake of Moon Bay, the whole world seems to be gently covered by a layer of golden gauze. The lake of Qionghai is sparkling, and every ripple is like the sun's lost gold, swaying gently with the breeze, playing a silent romantic movement. The distant mountains, silhouetted by the setting sun, are like a natural ink painting, blending the colors of orange and indigo. As time goes by, the sun sets lower and lower, and the sky is dyed a brilliant orange-red, like a burning flame, lighting up the entire Moon Bay. At this time, Moon Bay is half clear lake water and half intoxicating sunset, with the sky and water blending into one, breathtakingly beautiful. The brilliant colors spread from the sky to the feet, as if you could reach out and touch the heat of the sky. Standing on the shore of Moon Bay, feeling the breeze on my face and breathing the fresh air, I am intoxicated by the dreamlike sunset. The fatigue and troubles in my heart are thrown away at this moment, leaving only endless awe and admiration for nature. It is a feast for the eyes and a baptism for the soul. The sunset at Xichang Moon Bay is a gift from nature to the world, a romantic date not to be missed. Here, time seems to stand still, leaving only the gentleness and beauty of the sunset, waiting for every person who loves life to come and meet it.

Xichang, a small city in southwestern Sichuan, always attracts me with its tranquil and charming scenery. I remember one autumn evening, my family and I were strolling along the stone path in Tang Garden, the evening breeze gently brushing our cheeks, as if even time had slowed down. In this poetic city, we found a place for our hearts to rest - Xichang Qianxun Tangji Shuxiang Shijia Hotel. ✨A dream back to the Tang Dynasty, a journey through the ages🌙 Stepping into the hotel is like walking into a flowing painting. Every brick and tile tells an ancient story, making you feel like you've traveled back to the Tang Dynasty. As night falls, the entire park is brightly lit, reflecting off the tranquil lake in the distance, creating a breathtaking beauty. The children excitedly chase and play in the courtyard, their laughter echoing in this ancient space. 📚A sea of books, meeting a better self📖 For book lovers, this place is simply paradise. In the book bar with thousands of books, you can find everything from classical literature to modern novels. Sitting on a soft and comfortable sofa, holding a good book in your hand, with picturesque scenery outside the window, such an afternoon is simply too pleasant! 🍽A feast for the taste buds, dancing on the tongue🍽️ Speaking of the part that foodies care about most, this hotel will not disappoint you. Whether it's breakfast or dinner, every dish at "Four Seasons Station" is carefully prepared, not only with wonderful taste, but also with exquisite presentation. Especially those dishes that combine local specialties and traditional flavors, every bite is an ultimate temptation for the taste buds. 🛌Comfortable sleep, enjoy a good night's dream💤 Finally, I have to mention the room experience. We chose a loft room on the second floor, where you can overlook the entire Tang Garden from the balcony. The interior decoration of the room is elegant yet cozy, the bed is soft and comfortable, and the toiletries are of high quality. More importantly, there is also attentive and thoughtful butler service to ensure that every guest can enjoy a home-like feeling. If you also want to arrange an unforgettable trip for yourself and your family, consider this poetic and romantic place! I believe it will leave you with many beautiful memories.

❤️ Depart on the first day of the Lunar New Year and return on the fourth day. It was so nice to enjoy the sunshine every day in winter. The only downside was that it was too dry and windy! Be sure to bring a sun hat and drink plenty of water. 🎉 Hotel: We chose Xichang Konggang Yunxiang Hotel, which is right next to Xiaoyucun. The environment is elegant. We booked two rooms: one with a courtyard for us and the kids, and one with a balcony for the elderly. We requested that the rooms be arranged together, and they were just upstairs and downstairs. We enjoyed the sunshine and tea in the courtyard every day, which was really chill. The kids loved swinging in the children's play area and checked in every morning after breakfast. The only downside was that the service was not up to par during the Lunar New Year, and the breakfast was average. Everything else was fine. 🎉 Fun: There were a lot of people at Xichang's attractions during the Lunar New Year. We spent two days in Xiaoyucun. There is a bird ecology museum, which is very suitable for children. There were surprisingly few people. There are various bird fossils, bird photography exhibitions, and interactive programs. It took us nearly two hours to finish the tour, and we could experience VR for free at the end. (The kids had more material for their diaries) ✨ On the second day, we rode bicycles and electric bikes in Xiaoyucun and leisurely toured the greenway, taking deep breaths of fresh air. 🎉 Feeding seagulls: Remember to feed the seagulls in the morning! Bring your own bread. You can choose between Guanniao Island Wetland Park and the Qionghai Lake opposite Lushan Scenic Area. We chose to take a small boat to get close to the seagulls. ❤️ Jianchang Ancient Town: Jianchang Ancient Town is not big, with only one main road to climb, but it is still worth a visit. There is also a vegetable market, which is very lively. We couldn't stop eating the snacks along the way. We had fried dough sticks and oil tea at Sisters Oil Tea, which were delicious! ❤️ Food: We tried rice noodles, fire pit barbecue, Chinese food, and snacks. The following are the ones I would like to visit again. 🎉 1. Minghua Restaurant: The farmhouse fried jar meat was so delicious, fatty but not greasy, and went well with rice. The small pumpkin fish soup was also very delicious. 🎉 2. The rice noodles at Sanxiongdi Fresh Mutton Restaurant were amazing. Who understands how happy I was to see that pot of mint? 🎉 3. Jianxin Spicy Korean Potatoes: The cold noodles are a must-try! The seasoning was amazing, and everything else was fine. 🎉 4. Pinpin Wild Vegetable Copper Hot Pot: Meatballs, chicken, cured ribs, ham... The ingredients were very solid and suitable for all ages. There are two kinds of dipping sauces. I think the slightly spicy one is better. 🎉 We had a fire pit barbecue, but it was too average, so I won't recommend it. As for barbecue, I still prefer Feng Barbecue in Emei.

It's been four years since I last visited Xichang. I went on a spontaneous trip a few years ago and was surprised by how much Xichang has changed. This time, I chose a popular hotel closest to Qionghai Lake. As soon as I opened the door, I felt like I was "facing the sea with spring flowers blooming"! For a moment, I couldn't tell if I was in Xichang or Jeju Island. This Sun & Sea Hotel is a new addition to the area. The entire building is white, with intricate hollow designs on the walls that give shape to the sunlight. Walking in feels like entering an art gallery. The public areas are perfect for taking high-end photos. The best photo spots are in the pictures, so remember to save them! The hotel offers a variety of room types, most of which are sea-view rooms facing Qionghai Lake. I recommend choosing a sea-view room. Waking up and opening the curtains to a healing view is a great way to start the day. The rooms are stylishly designed, with large bathtubs and balconies facing Qionghai Lake. Sitting on the balcony with friends, gazing at the sea, and daydreaming is pure bliss. The rooms are also perfect for taking photos! The hotel also offers convenient services like luggage storage and room service, making it a hassle-free stay. But the fun doesn't stop there. The rooftop meditation room looks like a hollow cube from afar and is a great photo spot up close. The rooftop bar offers panoramic sea views, coffee, soft drinks, and light meals. Sitting on a deck chair, gazing at the sea, and relaxing is a wonderful experience! You can also enjoy delicious seafood without leaving the hotel.

This hotel is absolutely stunning. 🤩 Open the balcony door and you'll be greeted by a wide view of Qionghai Lake. In the morning, the first rays of sunlight shine through the morning mist over Qionghai Lake and onto the edge of the bed. This is the most beautiful view I've ever seen from a bed. 🪟 -

I've been to Xichang many times, and this time I was lucky enough to visit just before the temperature dropped. I stayed at the Guantang Hotel. On the first night, I visited Jianchang Ancient City. I read a travel guide that recommended visiting at night when the lights are on, and it was indeed a great experience. It's worth a visit. There's also the only DQ in Xichang. I don't recommend the other snack shops as they aren't very professional. I suggest having dinner early and then going for a walk. Jinlin Beach is a must-visit place for kids. The facilities are noticeably worse this year, but it's still crowded. Xiaoyucun is also worth a visit if you have time. The scenery isn't as good as Qionghai Wetland Park on the other side, but there are sightseeing buses to Bird Island. Moonlight Town has coffee, tea, bars, and lots of seagulls. You can take a boat to feed the seagulls. Tangyuan is right next to the hotel, and it's a one-stop shop for food, drinks, entertainment, and fun for kids.

🌨️ Luojishan's winter wonderland, a romantic encounter of ice and sunshine ❄️ Hey guys, how can a winter trip be complete without the romance of ice and snow? Today, I'm going to share with you the stunning experience of visiting Luojishan in winter. It's truly a hidden gem for winter travel in Xichang, unbelievably beautiful! 🌟【First Impression of Luojishan】 As soon as you step into Luojishan, you'll be instantly amazed. The distant snow-capped mountains glisten in the sunlight, like an icy kingdom from a fairy tale. At the foot of the mountain, the unique Yi architecture and bustling town add a touch of liveliness to this serene icy world. Guys, isn't this the poetry and distance of winter? 🌨️【Ice and Snow World】 The ice and snow at Luojishan are truly stunning! The snow on the mountain top is so thick that it can reach your knees, and the crunching sound when you step on it is so satisfying. We walked along the boardwalk, with icicles hanging from the branches on both sides, as transparent as crystal. When the sunlight hits them, they sparkle, making you feel like you're in a dreamy crystal palace. The pure white snow and the clear icicles are truly breathtaking when seen in person. 🌞【Sunshine and Ice Intertwined】 The most amazing thing is that although Luojishan has ice and snow in winter, there's plenty of sunshine. Standing on the mountain top, the warm sunlight makes you feel not cold at all. The feeling of enjoying the sunshine in an icy world is truly special. Guys, imagine this: on one side, there's pure white snow, and on the other, there's warm sunshine. This contrast is so beautiful, every frame looks like a wallpaper. 🏨 Hotel Recommendation: Guomai Fengchao Hotel (Xichang Qionghai 17° Wanda Plaza Branch) 🏔️【Hiking】 The hiking process is also interesting. Although there's snow, the path is not difficult to walk, and the scenery along the way is stunning. We took photos as we walked, and there were new surprises at every step. Reaching the top, the sense of achievement is overwhelming, and you can overlook the entire Xichang with a fantastic view. Guys, you must try the fun of hiking. 🎁【Tips】 • Gear: Keep warm with thick down jackets, thermal underwear, snow boots, hats, and gloves, as you're in an icy world. • Time: It's recommended to set off in the morning to catch the sunrise at the top, and the morning sunlight is the softest, perfect for photos. • Transportation: You can drive yourself or join a local tour group. The transportation is quite convenient, but the mountain road is a bit steep, so be careful if you're driving. Guys, Luojishan in winter is truly a hidden gem for travel, with the romance of ice and snow and the warmth of sunshine. If you want to experience this unique winter beauty, come to Luojishan and check it out. Trust me, you'll be amazed by its beauty!

❤ I stayed in Xichang for one night and had to rush back to Chengdu the next day, so I chose a hotel that was convenient for leaving the city. After comparing, I chose Honghai Hotel. Honghai Hotel is relatively large, with 156 rooms, including superior rooms, fashion rooms, business rooms, family rooms, couple rooms, etc. The hotel's philosophy is to let customers stay in the hotel, feel comfortable, and have a pleasant experience. ❤ The hotel's breakfast is relatively rich, and the dining environment is very comfortable. I saw the hotel's promise to customers in terms of dining: a story with every bite, a memory with every meal. ❤ The hotel is adjacent to the high-speed railway west station and airport transportation hub, and there are popular attractions such as Qionghai and Lushan nearby. ❤ The hotel rooms are clean and tidy, and the service staff have a good attitude. The price is also relatively affordable. It's just that the hotel decoration is slightly outdated.

I've always dreamed of the romantic sea views of Jeju Island, but I found a "branch" of Jeju Island in Xichang. Located in Xichang's Moonlight Town, this hotel is right next to Qionghai Lake. I stayed at the Sun & Sea Hotel 🏨, where I woke up to the shimmering beauty of Qionghai Lake every morning. It was so relaxing and beautiful. As soon as I entered the room, I was drawn to the private balcony. Standing there, I could take in the panoramic view of Qionghai Lake, which instantly washed away my travel fatigue. The all-day seafood buffet restaurant serves fresh seafood 🦀 flown in from the coast, offering the purest taste of the sea. In the afternoon, you can enjoy a drink ☕ at the lobby bar or relax your mind in the meditation room. Outside the hotel, the "Xichang Jeju Island Branch" is a great place to take photos. You can take stunning photos for your social media anywhere you go. The outdoor bar is a great place to enjoy the romantic night view of Xichang. As the sun sets 🌇, you can sip wine 🍷 and enjoy the sea breeze. Whether you're traveling alone, as a couple, or with family, the Sun & Sea Hotel can fulfill all your seaside travel fantasies. Come to Xichang and start a unique seaside journey!

Tang Garden is a place with the ancient city wall ruins and Jianchang Tower as its soul landmarks. Its cultural heritage is deeply rooted in the glory of the Tang Dynasty and the exotic customs of the Southern Silk Road, and it skillfully integrates the elegance of Chinese style, the wisdom of Chinese culture, and the fashion of Chinese trends. The place is named "Tang Garden" because it is the origin of a Tang Dynasty ancient city wall with a history of more than 1,300 years. The garden is mainly composed of ancient buildings in the style of the Tang Dynasty. It is a great place to visit alone, and there are few people during the off-season. 📍Attraction address: No. 299, Jianchang East Road, Xichang City, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province 🚗Attraction transportation: 🚄Take a high-speed train to Xichang West, then take a taxi or take Bus No. 11 to Jianchang East Road, Huanhu Line Tang Garden Station 🚘Drive to No. 299, Jianchang East Road, Xichang City, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture 👍️Must-see attractions: 1⃣Huaiyuan Tower: Huaiyuan Tower is a landmark building in Tang Garden.

Finally got some photos Spring in Xichang Blue skies and pink cherry blossoms, so romantic... I read a lot of guides before coming There are many places to see cherry blossoms in Xichang Chunxi North Road, Chunxi West Road, Jinlin Beach, Cherry Blossom Valley We went to Jinlin Beach first, but there were too many people under the cherry blossom trees... So we turned around and went to Chunxi Avenue If you take a taxi, you can go directly to Chunxi West Road Some cherry blossoms have already started to wither But there are still many beautiful flowers along this road Especially the one at the traffic light And the one at the sign is very beautiful and lush The trees are a bit tall, so if you want to take photos of people Bring a stool and a reflector Wear light or bright clothes for better photos~
