Xichang, the perfect weekend getaway to escape the summer heat~

Xichang, 🌤️ a small spring city with warm winters and cool summers, is truly ideal for a relaxing 2️⃣-day weekend trip. 🍃 Stroll around Qionghai Lake, 🍃 play in the waters by the beach, 🍃 enjoy delicious barbecue... ✔️ Just 400 RMB per person for an amazing time! 🚅 Transportation: Chengdu - Xichang West Station (3h, 149 RMB/person). For weekend trips, it's recommended to book tickets a few days in advance. Opt for a morning train to arrive in Xichang by noon, have lunch, and start exploring. 🚗 Getting around Xichang: Taxi or bus (many places are accessible by bus). 2️⃣-Day Itinerary: Xichang West Station ➡️ Jianchang Ancient Town ➡️ Torch Square ➡️ Bird Island Wetland Park ➡️ Take an evening stroll in Tang Garden Fishing Platform ➡️ Moonlight Scenery Town ➡️ Lushan Scenic Area Viewing Deck ➡️ Dashiban Village ➡️ Golden Scale Beach ➡️ Return 🚶‍♂️➡️ Activities: ❤️ If time allows, rent a bike 🚴‍♂️ at Rong Garden at the foot of Lushan and ride along the boardwalk to Dashiban Ancient Village. The shaded path 🌳 runs alongside Qionghai Lake, offering stunning views—a different experience from taking the bus 🚌. ❤️ Dashiban Ancient Village has many locally-run homestays 🏩 with lovely terraces and small gardens 🏕️. Consider staying here to wake up to a distant view of Qionghai Lake. ❤️ Explore Lingying Temple in Dashiban Ancient Village and try on traditional Yi ethnic clothing for a photo shoot 📸. ❤️ Wear sandals 👡 to Golden Scale Beach—play in the water and cool off 💦, but don’t forget sun protection! ❤️ For a sunrise over Qionghai Lake 🌅, head to Fishing Platform. The sun rises behind the mountains, casting a shimmering glow on the water ✨. ❤️ Moonlight Scenery Town is perfect for photos or a leisurely walk—a grassy area ☘️ by Qionghai Lake that looks especially beautiful on sunny days. Xichang Delicacies: Firepot barbecue, Liangshan burger, Xiaoyucun barbecue, Liangshan Snow (local drink), and affordable fruits at the market. 🎉🎉 Doesn’t this make your ❤️ heart flutter?
