    Passing through Xichang, we visited Qionghai Lake, located in Xichang City, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is the second largest freshwater lake in Sichuan Province. Anciently known as Qiongchi, it is a rift lake from the Early Pleistocene, formed approximately 1.8 million years ago. Xichang, the capital of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, is best known as a satellite launch site and for Qionghai Lake, which circumferentially spans over 30 kilometers.

    Jianchang Ancient Town is one of the best-planned ancient towns I've visited. Strolling around there is very comfortable and relaxing. It's just a bit quiet; hopefully, it will get better and better.

    Highly recommended, especially the iron flower scene, which is quite impressive. The four-part series is quite compact. The actors are quite serious, and the mountains, waters, and fire are all very dedicated. Worth having. The stage effect is very good.
