Introduction Sunrise Sightseeing in Xichang

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Xichang is known as the Sunshine City for its rich light and heat resources. It is an ideal place to watch the sunrise. The beauty of Xichang's sunrise lies not only in the change of colors, but also in its tranquility and peace. In the early morning, Qionghai Lake welcomes the shining morning light. The lake surface of the wetland park is sparkling and golden. The morning glow fills the sky in the distance, and the scenery is charming. Standing on the top of Lushan Mountain, the sun rises slowly from the east, and the light gradually fills the mountains and Qionghai Lake below. The scenery is very spectacular. As the sun gradually rises, the whole city seems to be gently awakened. The mountains in the distance, the lakes nearby, and the scattered buildings all become vivid and full of vitality under the morning light. Here you can feel this gift from nature with a sincere heart and burst out with full energy.

Xichang Best Hotel, a hidden gem on your journey!

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. Today, I want to talk about a hidden gem hotel we stayed at—Best Hotel. It will definitely add a touch of color to your journey! 🌟 🚗🚗🚗 Convenient travel, easily explore the city's charm Best Hotel is conveniently located at No. 1 Jianchang West Road, next to Longyan Park.

This location advantage makes our itinerary particularly flexible. The hotel also provides ample parking spaces, so even self-driving travelers can park their cars with peace of mind without worrying about parking problems. 🌄🌄🌄 Mountain views to wake you up every morning I highly recommend choosing a mountain view room here. Every morning when you wake up, you can open the curtains and see the rolling mountains in the distance, which look particularly charming in the morning light. At that moment, all your troubles seem to be resolved by this beautiful sight. For photography enthusiasts, this is undoubtedly a rare place to take great photos! 🍽️🍽️🍽️ A hearty breakfast to start a day full of energy Speaking of the hotel's service, I have to mention the hearty breakfast. There are a wide variety of nutritious and balanced options, from traditional Chinese breakfast to Western bread. It is especially suitable for families with children, as it can meet the needs of different tastes. I remember that morning, my two daughters excitedly picked out the food they liked, and that simple and pure happiness is still unforgettable to me. 🏡🏡🏡 Thoughtful service, details make the difference In addition to the comfortable accommodation environment, Best Hotel also does a great job in terms of service. For example, they provide butler service, so whether you need to book a restaurant or plan an itinerary, you can get timely and professional help. In addition, the hotel is also equipped with complete leisure and fitness facilities, so you can maintain a good physical condition even when traveling. This is especially great for people like me who love sports!

Xichang! Qionghai!! A garden courtyard worth crying for

Xichang! Qionghai!! A garden courtyard worth crying for

A detached courtyard by the lake... who understands this feeling of seclusion? A great place to relax and vacation: Everyone, this is a great place to experience a slow-paced vacation. You can visit the sea forest in front and the village behind. The small room is warm and bright, the best choice for poetry and distant places. The first choice for family vacations: Very friendly to children. The rooms on the second floor have independent courtyards or balconies. Children can play to their heart's content~ Cost-effective. Sunbathe in the afternoon at the homestay, and feel a sense of happiness.

Chengdu 3h!! Free Orange Comic Ancient Village

Chengdu 3h!! Free Orange Comic Ancient Village

There is no shortage of such beautiful and comic-like ancient villages around Chengdu. Backed by Luoji Mountain⛰️ Facing Qionghai🌊... The ancient village painted orange, with the Lingying Temple with flying eaves and corner towers, is very beautiful and healing~ - It is recommended to go in the morning for better lighting for photos📷.

It takes less than half an hour to walk around. Half a day is enough time to visit!! - 📍: Dashiban Village/Lingying Temple 🎫: Free🆓 🚄: 3h direct from Chengdu to Xichang West Station🚉 - Nearby attractions: Qionghai, Jianchang Ancient City, Jinlin Beach, Lushan Small Cable Car🚡. If you have enough time, you can arrange to visit them along the way!!

Self-driving to Xichang [Strolling in Lingying Temple/Dashiban Village]

Self-driving to Xichang [Strolling in Lingying Temple/Dashiban Village]

📍Dashi Ban Village ✨Came to Xichang because of the blue jacaranda flowers. ✨I never expected that the Dashi Ban Village located by the Qionghai Lake would bring such a big surprise. ✨Located here is the Lingying Temple with over 500 years of history. The temple and its orange walls are a sight to behold, making you want to take out your phone and snap a photo~ ✨Climb up along the winding steps, where several ancient trees stand guard over this old village house. Sit down at the tea house under the yellow vine tree, or watch the leaves sway in the wind and paint on the yellow walls, or lie on the sofa and sleep in the breeze, how comfortable~ 📍Qionghai Wetland ✨The boardwalk by the Qionghai Lake is extremely beautiful. Staying at the Qionghai Hotel, it's very comfortable to walk along the long scenic route in the evening and early morning.
