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

Jianchang Ancient City is a must-see when traveling to Xichang. The ancient city is even more dazzling at night, attracting many tourists. With a history of more than 600 years, Jianchang Ancient City was once a major commercial town on the Tea Horse Road connecting Yunnan and Tibet, and its architecture is a mix of Sichuan, Yunnan, and other styles. Centered on the four archways, the four streets radiate in all directions, and the winding alleys are lined with ancient dwellings, presenting the most beautiful picture of the passage of time.

Sichuan's Xichang is a place full of sunshine and stories. It not only has the beautiful Qionghai Lake, but also unforgettable delicacies. I remember the time I came to this small city with my family for a vacation. It was as if the whole world slowed down, allowing us to enjoy the rare tranquility and beauty.

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

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.

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.

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.

❤️ 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. The all-day buffet restaurant offers air-freighted seafood that's truly delicious! These "seaside" vacation days have been unforgettable. Take advantage of the Lunar New Year holiday and go on a spontaneous trip. The photo spots are in the pictures, so go take some amazing photos! 🏨 Sun & Sea Hotel 📍 Building 13, No. 119 Haibin Middle Road

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. 🪟 -

Dali is too crowded and Sanya is too far away, so you must come to Xichang, because Xichang is really full of treasures! ! ! I have summarized this super comprehensive guide for you all with an average of 600+ per person, and attached the route for taking photos and checking in! Those who are going to go, please collect it quickly❤️ 🚅Transportation Chengdu→Xichang: 💰149/person (3 hours direct) After exiting the high-speed railway station, you can take a bus (10/person) to Xichang Passenger Transport Center Station and transfer to bus No. 106 or the Huanhai Express Line. Search "Yuecheng Bus" on Alipay in advance~ 🏠Accommodation Recommended to stay in Qionghai 17 degrees It is very convenient to take a taxi to the city center and attractions. The price is affordable and you can stay comfortably for more than 100 yuan. 🈯👉 Tour route: Day 1: Qionghai Sea→Jinlin Beach→Jianchang Ancient City Day 2: Dashiban Ancient Village → Yinlin Beach → Diaoyutai → Return 🌊Sea Route Rent an electric car for 50/day (can bargain for 30) 🏖️Golden Scale Beach This place is called "Little Sanya" in Sichuan. It is super romantic to chase a sunset here. Be sure to check the sunset time in advance and arrive early. There are many people taking pictures and need to wait for the camera. The sun sets very quickly. On the way to the beach, I encountered the late cherry blossoms in Xichang 🌸. The light-colored outfit was so photogenic! 🎣Diaoyutai A great place to watch the sunrise, with seagulls, fishing boats and promenades, you can take pictures in any way you want. The popular Qionghai top 1 check-in spot is here! [CoconutTree] Silver Scale Beach There is no fire at Jinlin Beach here, so there are relatively fewer people. You can choose between Jinlin Beach or Yinlin Beach. 📸Dashiban Ancient Village I really like this place. It doesn’t have a strong commercial atmosphere. The orange wall next to Lingying Temple is very photogenic. If I have enough time, I must take a set of ethnic photos here! 🏠Jianchang Ancient City It is said that this is an ancient city that existed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The architecture is very local. It is recommended to visit at night. The night view is very beautiful. It is also suitable for a group of Yi ethnic photos here~ [StarEyes] Food Recommendations I recommend everyone to try Xichang barbecue. I didn’t have a satisfying barbecue in Chengdu, but I finally got one in Xichang! Li Xiaochang Braised Pork Claypot is very unique and the dipping sauce is also excellent, highly recommended! ② The beef and mutton offal noodles are delicious with fresh mint. The soup base is very fresh. Eating a bowl in the morning is very satisfying! ③Special snacks include shredded chicken, roasted potatoes, oil tea, drunken shrimp, yogurt Liangshan snow, and many more waiting for you to unlock~ ❤Travel tips: 1. Remember to use sunscreen, as ultraviolet rays are very strong 2. The wind is strong at the Qionghai Beach, so you can prepare a hat🧢
