I went to Xichang 5 times and compiled a guide

"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. The city is brightly lit. Go to the food street, where you can find all kinds of Xichang specialties, such as braised pork in a fire pot and drunken shrimp. Find a popular stall to sit down, enjoy the food, and savor the delicious food while reminiscing about your trip to Qionghai, bringing these 48 hours to a perfect end😃. 📍Day 2: Gallop through the Luoji Mountains and enjoy the vitality of spring 1️⃣ Luoji Mountain Early in the morning, rush to Luoji Mountain. 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. You can see the beautiful scenery of Qionghai when you open the window in the morning, fall asleep to the sound of ripples in the lake at night, and deeply experience the tranquility and charm of Qionghai. 🚗【Transportation Tips】 Xichang has convenient transportation, with an airport and a high-speed railway station. There are public buses and taxis in the city. To go to scenic spots such as Qionghai Wetland and Luoji Mountain, you can take the tourist line or bus. There are cable cars and sightseeing buses in the scenic area for convenient travel. 💬【Whispering】 In April, Xichang has charming scenery of lakes and mountains, unique mountain views, and mouth-watering food. As you hum a little tune as you step into this city, you will be intoxicated in just 48 hours. Come to Xichang and start your sunny journey in Qionghai!
