Xichang is a great place to take kids for a relaxing trip with good food and fun activities.

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.
