Don't forget to bring sunglasses and sunscreen to protect your skin and eyes. 💊First aid medicines: Minor health problems are unavoidable during travel. Especially because Liangshan is a plateau area, there may be altitude sickness, so don't forget to bring some common cold medicines, painkillers, Band-Aids and other common medicines, as well as anti-altitude sickness medicines such as Rhodiola rosea and oral liquid. 📷Photographic equipment: When you arrive in Liangshan, you must take more photos as souvenirs, so don’t forget to bring your camera and charger. If you are a mobile photography enthusiast, a backup battery or a mobile power bank is also a must. 📝Documents & Cash: Mainland China ID card, bank card, and some cash are essential when going out. Especially in some remote areas, credit cards may not be easy to use, so it is very necessary to have some cash on hand. 🍫Energy supplements: Outdoor activities such as climbing mountains and hiking will consume a lot of physical energy. When you are hungry, portable nutritious foods, chocolate and other snacks can help you replenish energy quickly. I hope this list can help you travel more conveniently and comfortably in Liangshan, get closer to nature, and enjoy the fun of traveling! -- 🎉Just sharing this, I hope you will have deep memories of every moment in Liangshan~

If you're planning a trip to Xichang, be sure to pack sunscreen. The UV rays are strong there, and the weather is quite hot, so wear light clothing. Most of the tourist attractions are around Qionghai Lake, and you can visit them all in two or three days! 🚗Transportation: It takes about three hours by high-speed train from Chengdu. I chose a hard sleeper train, which took a little over five hours. It was like the business class of a high-speed train and more affordable. Once you arrive in Xichang, you can take a taxi (which is more expensive) or the No. 106 bus, a special tourist line that goes around the lake. There's also the K111 bus that goes directly to Xiaoyucun Fishing Village, where you can enjoy local barbecue (the bus is more cost-effective). -Day 1: (I arrived in the afternoon) I checked in near Qionghai 17 Degrees. You can rent a bike inside the scenic area and cycle along the lake, visit Jinlin Beach, and stroll through the Moonlit Town. In the evening, I went to the local Xiaoyucun Fishing Village for barbecue. It was super affordable and delicious. Day 2: I took the No. 106 bus and got off at the Lushan stop. You can take the cable car up the mountain for 35 RMB per person (I recommend taking the sightseeing bus, which is only 5 RMB per person). You can visit the Slave Museum, but we took the bus directly to the top of the mountain due to time constraints. Be careful of the monkeys on the mountain; they might snatch your bag, so it's best to carry a stick. Further up, you can visit Guangfu Temple and other ancient temples and enjoy a panoramic view of Qionghai Lake. We chose to take the slide down the mountain, which cost 40 RMB per person (a bit pricey, but quite thrilling). In the afternoon, we went to Dashiban Ancient Village. The red walls of Lingyin Temple are perfect for photos, and it's mostly people taking portrait photos there. Apart from taking pictures, there isn't much else to do. Then, we went to Jianchang Ancient City to experience the local culture. (Most attractions are free.) 😍Local specialties: Handmade Liangfen, Xiaoyucun barbecue, Huopen barbecue, Liangshan burgers, Drunken Shrimp, and Liangshan Xue (the fruit there is quite sweet, and strawberries are only 5 yuan per kilogram, which is a good deal). Day 3: We slept in, then went to the farmers market to buy souvenirs, such as Yi embroidery and Jianchang pressed duck. After that, we packed our bags and headed back. Hotel recommendations🏨 Luxury: Qionghai Hotel, excellent location by Qionghai Lake, beautiful scenery, luxurious facilities, and attentive service. Comfort: JI Hotel, clean and comfortable rooms, attentive service, great value for money, and convenient transportation. Budget: Xichang Koala Hostel, affordable, good atmosphere, suitable for solo travelers or budget-conscious tourists.

When shooting, try to include both the ancient city walls and the jacarandas in the frame to capture the unique atmosphere. - Haihe Tianjie: In the evening, as the lights come on💡, the jacarandas take on a different charm under the illumination. Capturing the jacarandas and their reflections in the water creates a stunningly beautiful image. IV. Food Recommendations - Fire Pit Barbecue: A must-try!

The small intestines are grilled to crispy perfection, the beef is marinated in advance and tender, and the grilled eggplant with mashed garlic and houttuynia cordata offers a rich flavor. - Xichang Rice Noodles: The first choice for breakfast🥪.

❄️❄️The icy landscape is a magnificent spectacle of nature, a truly captivating sight. Daliangshan Luoji Mountain: ☃️☃️The earth is blanketed in thick white snow, resembling a soft, tranquil, pristine fleece. Tree branches are laden with glistening icicles, like meticulously carved crystals, sparkling with dazzling light. The distant mountains, also tinged silver by the snow, appear faintly through the mist, like a subtle ink painting. The biting wind cannot dispel this serenity and beauty. Xichang Wetland Park: 🌈🌈In the boundless sky, colorful clouds quietly bloom, like a dreamlike painting slowly unfolding. ☁️☁️Sunlight penetrates the clouds, dyeing them in brilliant hues: red like fire, orange like sunset glow, yellow like golden light, green like emerald, blue like the deep sea, and purple like a distant dream. 🏨Hotel Recommendation: Goelia Fengchao Hotel (Xichang Qionghai 17° Wanda Plaza Branch) 🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️Intertwined, light and agile, they resemble ribbons scattered by fairies, or a beautiful dream on the horizon.

The romantic sea view of Jeju Island that I have always dreamed of. I didn't expect that this time in Qionghai, Xichang, I got the same heartbeat. It is located in the Moonlight Town in Xichang City.

Lushan feels like a very spiritual place I was in a hurry to get off the bus and left my phone behind. I found out when I entered the mountain gate and was about to pay for the sightseeing bus. I contacted dd immediately, and the driver also found out and turned around to send it back to me. From lost to found, it took only ten minutes😂😂 I wanted to give the master some gas money to express my gratitude🙏🏻, but he refused to accept it Take a sightseeing bus to the viewing platform halfway up the mountain The melancholy deep blue Qionghai Lake at sunset, the rolling mountains and the city of Xichang Just like this, it hits my eyes without any cover or obstruction Tea pavilions are all open for business The boss is drinking tea and reading quietly, looking very comfortable I always feel that Xichang has a gloomy background. This land, which gave birth to the country's first fire show and is famous for its hot barbecue, is surprisingly quiet and calm. The locals are also restrained and taciturn, which is completely different from the lively Chengdu people who always call girls Lushan is also Maybe because it was getting close to sunset, there were very few people on the mountain. The staff of Guangfu Temple did not walk away from get off work with excitement. The few tourists were also quiet. The ancient temples and pagodas appear more solemn in the silence of the mountains. The faded mottled walls are all the texture of time I am always conflicted On the one hand, I like the beauty of ancient buildings that have been refined by time. On the one hand, it is a pity that such a beautiful building has not been properly maintained. The monkeys in the mountains are very spiritual I didn't see any monkeys on the way here, I thought they were resting He was rude and called out "Monkey Brother" a few times. They appeared one after another. We really can't underestimate the IQ of living things😂😂 Maybe it's because I feel so timid. Keep a polite distance from me. Going down the trail, I found many stops along the way. It seems to remind people to slow down and leave some time for nature. The pavilions along the way are all named after the moon, such as Yingyue, Songyue, Xiaoyue... I thought it was just to echo the name of Xichang "Moon City" The locals who went up the mountain told me that it is very beautiful to watch the moon on Lushan Mountain. The moonlight will illuminate the city, and the Qionghai Lake will be filled with soft silver light.
