Big slate

Observation location: Hangtian North Road (the top choice for Jacaranda check-in) Blooming situation: The flowering trees are already very pretty, with the most and the deepest purple flowers at both ends of the road, and a slightly sparser purple in the middle, with a purple to green ratio of 3:1 Photo taken on: April 18th afternoon Estimated best viewing time: After April 22nd until early May Transportation: Bus/Self-driving (leave early to get a parking spot)/Taxi in the city, convenient transportation Recommended flower viewing spots: Hangtian North Road (no.1)/Along Hangtian Avenue/Jianchang Road/Siyuan Highway/Health Ring Road/Wenhui Road/Moon Landing Road/Dashi Ban ancient village Check-in Tips: Most of the check-in spots are streets, safety first and civilized photography, do not stand in the middle of the road just for photos 2. Essential Jacaranda-themed Liangshan Snow for check-in, the seasonal picture matches the Jacaranda streets perfectly for photos! After checking in, you can also enjoy a delicious yogurt drink, killing two birds with one stone 3. The trees are quite tall, try low-angle shots when taking photos of people~ It is not recommended to check in from 12-16 o'clock, as the light is strong and the temperature is high 4. Overall, light-colored clothes (except purple) look better in photos, and Xichang's highest temperature has already reached 30+ degrees, so wearing a skirt is totally fine~ All the above is from last year, this year's flowers have not bloomed yet.

🌟3 hours from Chengdu, away from the smog, seagulls flock, the ancient city and Lushan, reeds and wild ducks, there is nature, there are humanities, there are warm sun and blue sky, I, a Chengdu person, love it very much, just like the seagulls in Siberia, I miss it year after year. 🌟How to play in Xichang? 1⃣️Qionghai Wetland Park: Qionghai is very large, it is recommended to play from Qionghai 17 degrees counterclockwise to the vicinity of Moonlight Town. This distance is not close, you can choose to rent a car in the wetland park (you can return it elsewhere, before 5 pm), or walk. The first part is the wetland park, with reeds, wild ducks, and natural scenery. The latter part is more popular for internet celebrities, and seagulls are also concentrated near the fishing platform in the latter part. If you want to check in lazily, you can directly take a taxi to the fishing platform (there are more seagulls at sunrise, and it is easier to feed). 2⃣️Lushan Lushan is next to Qionghai, the mountain is not high, it is recommended to take the cable car up and slide down. The cable car will reach a Guangfu Temple and a viewing platform halfway up the mountain (you can overlook Qionghai). There are many monkeys on the mountain, and there are many gathered in Guangfu Temple in the morning. If you don't want to climb the mountain, you can go down the mountain here. There are several small temples going up, and friends who like hiking can challenge to the top of the mountain. 3⃣️Jianchang Ancient City The scale of Jianchang Ancient City is not large, mainly based on a main street. Overlooking from the city tower, the architectural style is unique, very similar to the architectural style of Dali, with a strong exotic flavor. It is also a good choice to take a set of Yi nationality photos here. Jianchang Ancient City also has a beautiful night view, you can also choose to come here at night. 4⃣️Jinlin Beach Who would have thought that in Sichuan, there are also beaches, coconut trees and sunsets like Little Sanya. The white fine sand satisfies the inland children's longing for the beach. It's a bit far here, you need to take a car to get there. 5⃣️Dashi Ban Village The orange Lingying Temple is very unique. Among the many temples I have visited, it is unique. The exquisite flying eaves and bright orange temple walls have become popular places for photo shoots in recent years. Of course, if you come here, put down the camera and take a walk in the temple, it is also a good choice. 🌟How to get there? 🚄High-speed rail: 3 hours from Chengdu 🚗Self-driving: 5-6 hours 🚌Local bus Bus: Yuecheng Bus Taxi: Didi, and local "Wanshun" 🌟What to eat? Barbecue is a must, roll powder, oil tea, Yi cuisine (taste carefully), rice noodles, Qionghai 🐟 The two places my friend took me to are not bad: ✅Li Sausage Barbecue: Xichang's special fire pot barbecue, sausage is a must, beef, green pepper meat, lotus root glutinous rice are also delicious, you can also queue online first ✅Gao Caoba Beef and Mutton Rice Noodle Barbecue Restaurant: Xichang people like to eat powder, this one is boiled with lamb bones, very authentic, in addition to rice noodles, there are soup pots, lamb and a small millet spicy dipping sauce, absolutely Go to Xichang to bask in the sun and enjoy the warm winter sun!
