QIONG HAI BIN GUAN YU OU LOU ZHONG CAN TING

The taste is very good! The breakfast is rich! Clean and sanitary, the waiter is very nice! The food is served quickly! It feels like home. We made the right choice to eat in the restaurant. Next time I come to Xichang, I will definitely choose to stay in Qionghai Hotel.

I spent a few days at the Qionghai Hotel in Xichang, a truly idyllic retreat. The slow pace of life here was incredibly soothing! This state guesthouse seems to have enclosed the most beautiful scenery of Qionghai Lake right within its grounds, allowing you to experience its beauty from every angle without even leaving the hotel. 🌊 📍Hotel Experience: Opening the window reveals a 180-degree view of the lake, and in the morning, you can see the sky slowly turning from pale white to red. The hotel's landscaping is superb; peacocks and squirrels are your neighbors everywhere. My favorite part was lying on the terrace of the Black Swan Café, ordering a hand-drip coffee, watching the clouds drift across the lake, and the black swans gracefully swimming across the red covered bridge—instantly grasping the true meaning of tranquility! 🍽️Must-Visit Restaurants: ▫️Shuiyun Lakeside Western Restaurant: We recommend choosing a lakeside location. Their tomahawk steak is a perfect match for the Qionghai sunset. ▫️Guanhai Tea Restaurant: Be sure to try the beef congee with poached egg and the Cantonese shrimp dumplings. Freshly steamed to order, they're incredibly delicious. ▫️Black Swan Café: The afternoon tea set is stunningly beautiful; every photo is Instagram-worthy. 🚶‍♀️Secret Activities: ✔️In the morning, take a stroll along the hotel's private lakeside boardwalk and you might witness peacocks displaying their plumage. ✔️In the evening, enjoy steamed stone pot fish at the Yuoulou Chinese Restaurant and watch the sunset paint the lake red from the floor-to-ceiling windows. ✔️Attend the evening ethnic song and dance performance at the lakeside square and experience authentic Yi ethnic culture. 💡Useful Tips: 1. Remember to bring breadcrumbs; you can interact and take photos with the red-billed gulls by the lake. 2. The hotel offers free bicycles for cycling around the lake; we recommend going in the evening to avoid the sun. 3. Choose a room with a view of Qionghai Lake; even the bathtub has a view. 4. Remember to bring a windproof jacket if you come in winter, as it can be quite windy by the lake. This is the true essence of a relaxing vacation! I don't want to leave this gentle world defined by sunshine and lake water. #XichangSlowLife #DaysByQionghaiLake #DiscoverHiddenGemsHotels #SichuanOffTheBeatenPathTravel #HealingTravel

🌟 Xichang Qionghai: After a Marathon, Encountering a State Guesthouse Where Peacocks Stroll 📜 Leisure Time Ignited by Torches After finishing the marathon at Xichang Torch Square, dragging my weary body to the Qionghai Hotel, I suddenly understood what it meant to "live amidst scenery." This complex, known as the "Liangshan State Guesthouse," is nestled deep within the lush greenery of Qionghai National Wetland Park. Opening the window reveals the lake water lapping against the wooden boardwalk along the shore. Most magical are the peacocks here—not in cages, but leisurely strolling under centuries-old trees like the hotel's inhabitants, occasionally displaying their plumage, their feathers shimmering in the ripples of Qionghai Lake. 🏞️ A Breathing Wetland Park The Qionghai Hotel itself is part of the wetland park. From the terrace of the Yu'oulou Chinese Restaurant, the 30 square kilometers of Qionghai Lake unfold before your eyes. The lake surface, shrouded in morning mist, resembles an unpolished bronze mirror. At midday, waterbirds skim across it, creating a silvery sheen. Qionghai Lake is most beautiful on rainy days—fine raindrops paint the distant mountains like ink paintings. Sipping ginger tea at the lakeside tea restaurant, you can watch the raindrops create countless concentric circles on the lake's surface. Staff say the sika deer here molt seasonally, and in winter you can see them strolling among the cedar trees, draped in their dark brown "winter coats." 🌌The Mountain and Water Theater at Night On the second night of the marathon, a stroll along the lakeside boardwalk is the main attraction. Streetlights cast the shadows of palm trees onto the lake, and the silhouette of Lushan Mountain on the opposite shore resembles a crouching giant beast. Reaching the water theater, you suddenly hear the cries of peacocks piercing the night sky—they're still active at night! Looking up, you realize the stars are incredibly low; Xichang is not only a satellite launch base but also an officially certified "stargazing city." Back in my room, I discovered the bathtub faced the lake. While soaking, I saw the flickering lights of fishing boats through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and suddenly understood why the ancients described it as "drunk, unaware that the sky is reflected in the water." 🍵The Flavors of Qionghai At the Yu'oulou Chinese Restaurant, the must-order is the Boiling Clear Wave Fish, made with fresh fish caught that day from Qionghai Lake. At the Guanhai Tea Restaurant, the Cantonese shrimp dumplings reveal whole shrimp inside. The biggest surprise was the pumpkin and fish head soup at the buffet breakfast, simmered to a milky white color with the head of a silver carp, a specialty of Qionghai. A waiter chuckled, "Our kitchen's first customers aren't guests, but peacocks coming to ask for dried fish." From the exhilarating energy of Torch Square to the tranquil serenity of Qionghai Lake, Xichang interprets the true meaning of "leisure" with two completely different faces. When peacocks glide across the lawn in the morning light, and deer peek out from the windows, you'll feel as if spring itself resides in this city. #XichangMarathon #QionghaiWetlandPark #StateGuesthouseExperience #PeacockDining #HighAltitudeStargazing
