Chengdu 🚄 Xichang 4-Day, 3-Night Babysitting Guide (Lazy Version) ||| 🌟 Plenty of Time, Sleep-In Itinerary 🌟 Complete Guide Details (Reference) - I. Transportation Departure: November 17th, Chengdu South - Xichang West Return: November 12th, Xichang West - Chengdu South - II. Itinerary Description Day 1️⃣: After arriving at Xichang West, take bus No. 20 directly to the hotel booked at Wanda. After a short rest, head to Lao Haiting. We had dinner at Quanxianhuo BBQ. After dinner, we took the bus to Wanda, bought two boxes of Liangshan Snow, and returned to the hotel to rest. ⚠️Note: Avoid talking to strangers and always use legitimate transportation to avoid scams. Day 2️⃣: At 9:30 AM, we took a taxi to the Lushan hiking trailhead. We recommend hiking up the mountain, which takes about 20 minutes. On the way to Guangfu Temple, we'll pass a large viewing platform—a truly photogenic sight! Just follow the main group up the mountain. There are signs along the way. Take the small path to the right of Guangfu Temple. You'll see lots of monkeys, but be sure to hike past Guangfu Temple to see the monkeys! 🐒 After your visit around 11:30 AM, you can check out the Liangshan Yi History Museum. At 12:30 PM, walk down the mountain to the Qionghai Scenic Area, which is directly adjacent to Lushan Mountain and within easy walking distance. Before heading to Qionghai, head to the nearby Qionghai Kitchen for grilled fish. The wait here can be quite long, so avoid it if you don't want to wait. In the afternoon, spend the afternoon at the Qionghai Scenic Area near Lushan Mountain. If you want to watch the sunset, you can go there. It's recommended to walk from the right to the left. The destination is near Diaoyutai. Return to Wanda around 4:00 AM. In the evening, have Xide Potatoes near Wanda. Afterward, take the bus to visit Tang Garden. ⚠️Note: Regarding the sunset at Jinlin Beach, I personally don't think it's necessary to watch it because the bus is so crowded that it's unbearable. Day 3️⃣: Sleep in and head straight to Huili Chicken Hot Silk (Longyanjing Branch) for lunch. This restaurant is a must-try! After lunch, we took the bus to Dashiban Ancient Village. We played around until around 3:30, then took another bus to Moon Bay and Jinlin Beach. The sunset wasn't much to see, so I recommend staying a while and leaving early. I grabbed a Liangshan hamburger on the way to fill my stomach. Then we headed directly to Jianchang Ancient City, where we had noodles and Sihu's egg tarts (the egg tarts are amazing and very affordable ⭐⭐). ⚠️Note: If you're planning to take photos at Dashiban Ancient Village, plan your trip earlier! It was packed when we went, so we didn't. There's not much food in Jianchang Ancient City, so don't expect too much; the prices are a bit high. Day 4️⃣: Slept in and went to A'ai-style Fried Food Shop for fried skewers. They were delicious! And not expensive! The fried banana and fried bread were amazing! If you want to take some strawberries home, you can buy some fresh ones at the market this morning. 🍓 After lunch, we took the bus back to the high-speed rail station.
