A Xichang specialty, a delicacy that locals also love to eat. The seasonings on the table are rich and varied, and you can add them according to your personal taste.

Business is booming, many locals eat there. High turnover rate.

Day 1: Chengdu—Xichang. Upon arrival, check into the hotel and head to Diaoyu Island. Diaoyu Island: Boat trip to feed seagulls (boat ticket: adults 30 RMB, children 20 RMB). Evening: Visit Jianchang Ancient City. ✅Day 2: Take a taxi to Black Swan Cafe (very nice environment, good coffee). Lake tour: From Moonlit Scenery—Tingtao Town (pretty good)—Silver Scale Beach (I thought it was just okay, but the kids liked it). In the afternoon, we got hungry and had hot pot barbecue (the hot pot barbecue here is pretty good!). Evening: Visit Tangyuan Garden (pretty well renovated, not much to do, but not crowded). ✅Day 3: Dashiban Ancient Village: (crowded during autumn break) Orange Wall Temple, great for photos! 🍜Food: 1: Huili Chicken Shredded Rice 2: Xiong's Beef and Lamb Offal Rice Noodles 3: Hot pot barbecue, barbecue (fish slices)

Day 1 🚄 Chengdu ➡️ Xichang 8:00-11:07 💰149 Day 2 🚄 Xichang ➡️ Chengdu 19:02-21:57 💰149 🏠Accommodation: Stay near Qionghai 17 Degrees Tourist Resort (The area is full of hotels, very convenient for eating, lodging, and transportation. There are many electric scooter rental shops nearby, and it's also close to the bus stop.) 📍Itinerary: Day 1: After exiting the high-speed rail station, take a bus directly to Wanda Plaza on the left. ➡️ Go to the hotel to drop off your luggage (the hotel is right next to Wanda Plaza). ➡️ Go eat mutton rice noodles (Xiong's Beef and Mutton Offal Rice Noodles). ➡️ Rent an electric scooter to tour around Qionghai Lake. Day 2: Get up and go out for breakfast (Huili Chicken Shredded Ham). ➡️ You can continue to visit any attractions you didn't get to see the day before. ➡️ Take a bus to the high-speed rail station. ❗️❗️Key Points: 🚃Transportation: Renting an electric scooter is the wisest decision! An electric scooter is more than enough for a tour around Qionghai Lake in Xichang. You don't need to worry about the scooter running out of power; the scooter rental service provides raincoats and helmets. There are many places to rent electric scooters near Qionghai Lake, which is very convenient. I rented one for two days and it cost me a total of 70 yuan. 🏝️Attractions: ❌Diaoyutai (Fishing Terrace): I went there following online guides, hoping to find the crooked-necked trees for photos, but I couldn't find those trees in the pictures after searching for a long time. It seems that section of the road was closed. ✅Yinlin Beach: The beach is beautiful. You can walk around to both sides. There's a section with fewer people, making it more tranquil. It also has crooked-necked trees, and the vegetation coverage is higher, making the lake water seem bluer. You can take many photos there.🤳🏻 🥢Food: 🍜Xiong's Beef and Lamb Offal Rice Noodles 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I personally really liked it. The noodles are thin, and the soup is a clear, flavorful broth. There are many condiments available, so you can make your own. I recommend trying the original flavor first, then adding condiments (mint, chili peppers, pickled cabbage) later. Highly recommended! 👍 🍲 Huili Chicken and Ham Shreds 🌟🌟🌟 The broth is chicken soup. Mine had chewy rice cakes added, very springy and delicious. It also included shredded chicken and ham. Personally, I thought it was okay, but slightly inferior to mutton rice noodles. 🥓 Small Fishing Village Specialty Tender Fish Slices 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Definitely worth trying. The fish slices and beef are delicious. It's about 70 RMB per person, which is quite good. 🥛 Liangshan Snow 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I initially thought it was yogurt, but it's actually a lactic acid bacteria drink, somewhat like Wahaha. It reminds me of a yogurt I drank as a child—sweet and sour, quite delicious. 🎑Overall, Xichang is definitely worth visiting. The scenery and food are both worth experiencing. This trip, following the trend, was a great success! 🥳
