【Xichang | The city where spring arrives earliest, dreaming by the jacaranda and Qionghai Lake】

While the entire southwest awaits spring, the jacarandas in Xichang have already blossomed into a sea of purple clouds🌸✨ Here, the sunlight is lazier than in Kunming, and the deep blue is more healing than in Dali~ 🌞 The sunlight lazily spills over the shore of Qionghai Lake 🌊 The lake water sparkles like a spilled tray of gems 💜 The jacarandas lining the city streets have bloomed into a purple sea of clouds When night falls, this city illuminated by satellite launch lights: 🏮 Red lanterns light up traditional buildings ✨ Multicolored lights weave a dreamy glow 🌌 The breathtaking night scene feels like falling into the Milky Way 📍 Location: Xichang City, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province 🕒 Best viewing period: Jacaranda in April-May, Qionghai Lake is suitable all year round Highly recommended at night by Qionghai Lake: 1⃣️ Stroll along the Moonlight Style Town 2⃣️ Enjoy the starry night by Qionghai Lake 3⃣️ Experience the festive atmosphere of Yi traditional architecture Every frame here is like a painting, every second worth capturing! Hurry and come to Xichang to encounter this purple dream as spring arrives first~💜📷
