Qionghai Sea Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Jinlin Sand beach
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.

Chengdu to Xichang | Self-drive family trip, fun and not tiring, definitely worth it!
| Self-drive family trip, fun and not tiring, definitely worth it!. In April, Xichang has a pleasant climate, neither cold nor hot, with a gentle breeze, and it's very beautiful. If you want to visit Xichang, I highly recommend coming in April!
We drove from Chengdu, a journey of more than five hours. The whole way is scenic, leisurely enjoying the sights as we went. On the way, we passed through the Mud Mountain Tunnel, where the view outside the window was nice, though it was a bit like a foggy and drizzly rain.
🌈 As we approached Xichang, the world suddenly changed, no more foggy skies, but blue skies and white clouds, the sun shining brightly, clear skies, fresh air, and most importantly, the air quality was really good.
🌸 In Xichang, we stayed at the Xichang Guanhai Tingtao Art Hotel. It was like finding a treasure, very, very nice, comfortable to the extreme, whether it's the hotel location, interior environment, parking, room types, service, food, etc., all worthy of praise, and the off-season price was beautiful! The key is that it's very close to the seaside, just separated by a road. It's very close to Yinlin Beach, Jinlin Beach, Lushan Scenic Area, and Dashiban Village.
🗓 Itinerary:
Since we were with a child, we didn't want to rush through the sights or be too regimented, so we played as we pleased.
On the first day, we arrived in Xichang around three or four in the afternoon, rested for a while, and then walked to the seaside for a stroll. Walking on the sea boardwalk, the child played with sand, which was very pleasant. But here's a warning, don't go to Rongyuan for food, the service and taste are not good at all!
On the second day, we had breakfast at the hotel. Since the child wanted to stay in bed and my husband also felt it was nice to sit on the hotel balcony listening to the sound of the sea and enjoying the view of the courtyard trees, we didn't go out in the morning. In the afternoon, when it was less sunny, we went to the nearby Dashiban Village, an unimaginably beautiful village with blue skies, white clouds, yellow walls, green stone water paths, and Lingying Temple, a nice place to take a walk. Then, before the sun set, we went to Jinlin Beach not far ahead. The sand may not be as good as the seaside, but it was still very nice, and the child loved playing there. Watching the sunset glow spread over Qionghai, watching the gentle waves of Qionghai, watching the child's joyful laughter, watching the wind rustle the willows on the shore... It was truly a happy and relaxing trip.
On the third day, we woke up the child very early because we were going to Lushan. We got up early to avoid the sun at its strongest. We were the first ones waiting at the ticket office, and because we arrived early, we could park freely at the entrance. If you come late, you might not be able to park, as there are very few parking spaces at the ticket office entrance. Lushan was also a very surprising place. We took the cable car up the mountain, which was quite relaxing. From the observation deck, you can have a bird's eye view of Qionghai, very magnificent! Then we visited the ancient Guangfu Temple on the mountain, worth a visit. We also saw monkeys🐒. We took the slide down the mountain, which can be understood as a very long slide, sliding down from inside the mountain, and you can see many monkeys🐒 during the process. The child really liked it.
We had lunch at the hotel at noon, and I must say, even the lunch at this hotel was very delicious and not expensive. After resting for a while, we set off back to Chengdu. On the way back, we also casually visited Menghuo City, but since it was a bit cold on the mountain, and I have a bit of a fear of huge things, we didn't stay long and continued on our way. It was already dark when we arrived in Chengdu.
❤ Overall, this trip was very pleasant, and this kind of self-drive trip that allows you to play at your own pace is really perfect for a family trip!
Xichang, recommended!
A tree of golden yellow warms the heart, and the garden is full of wind chimes, drunk with the light of spring
Spring days are busy with flower viewing, time flows by like water, sunlight spreads over mountains and fields, the spring breeze brushes the face, bringing endless tenderness.

Although it lacks the grandeur of 'the city is full of golden armor', it has the elegance and vivacity of 'flowers seen on branches without leaves'.
On the branches, each 'little wind chime' saturates itself, blooming lively under the sunlight, a large expanse of gold, the clusters of flowers on the trees sway gently with the rhythm of the breeze, each sway overflowing with the enthusiasm of spring.
The bright flowers hang full on the branches, as bright and dazzling as the sun, and in their wanton blooming, they also carry warmth that goes straight to the heart. Look, those bright flower branches extend into the boundless blue sky, like an oil painting by a master, amazing!

Lushan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Xichang's Guangfu Temple, a blessed place for prayers, offers an experience of the charm of diverse religious cultures
During a trip to Xichang, in addition to Qionghai, Lushan is also a must-visit attraction. Guangfu Temple on Lushan is right above Qionghai, known as the 'Scenic Spot of Southern Sichuan', and is a great place for a panoramic view. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and other religions have coexisted on Lushan for a thousand years, and the incense at Guangfu Temple on the mountain is particularly prosperous, making it a treasured place for locals to pray annually.
It is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain, enjoy the scenery along the way, and after reaching Guangfu Temple halfway up the mountain, you will need to get off and walk. Going down the mountain, you can choose to take the slide, which saves a lot of effort. The monkey troops are also a major feature of Lushan, and in terms of both numbers and liveliness, they are not inferior to those on Mount Emei. There is a small shop above Guangfu Temple where you can buy some peanuts to feed the monkeys.
If you happen to be there in the evening, you can also wait at the viewing platform for a stunning sunset, feeling the afterglow of the setting sun, the gentle breeze, and the Buddha's presence, comfortable and at ease. The address is Qionghai Lushan National Scenic Area, with free admission, 35 yuan for a one-way cable car ride, and 55 yuan for a round trip. Warm tips: There are many playful monkeys on Lushan, so remember not to carry bags in your hands when climbing, or they may be snatched away, haha!

(Don't hold water and food in your hand, they are still very cute)
3⃣️.The slide down the mountain is not recommended for sisters with less strength!! It's very tiring
4⃣️.Finally went to the Ximenpo Market to eat old-fashioned Liangfen + buy fruit
(Average 800+ excluding transportation and accommodation + bought fruit;
Daily expenses for two days are about 300, overall it's cost-effective, dining is not expensive, but fruits in Xichang are not cheap, but they are really delicious)
