Qionghai Sea Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Jinlin Sand beach
Jinlin sand beach is a perfect location to enjoy the sun while making sand castles next to the water body. It’s easy to find a parking and there is a shuttle service to the beach. We also enjoyed a group cycle on our way back. Though it was tough to climb, the way down was equally fun.
There is also a Buddhist temple nearby, the sound of prayers are soothing and relaxing.
Suggest to take along a folding tent and plenty of drinking water and snacks with you.
You can also take a walk along the Qionghai sea and enjoy the greenery.

Chengdu to Xichang | Self-drive family trip, fun and not tiring, definitely worth it!
| Self-drive family trip, fun and not tiring, definitely worth it!. In April, Xichang has a pleasant climate, neither cold nor hot, with a gentle breeze, and it's very beautiful. If you want to visit Xichang, I highly recommend coming in April!
We drove from Chengdu, a journey of more than five hours. The whole way is scenic, leisurely enjoying the sights as we went. On the way, we passed through the Mud Mountain Tunnel, where the view outside the window was nice, though it was a bit like a foggy and drizzly rain.
🌈 As we approached Xichang, the world suddenly changed, no more foggy skies, but blue skies and white clouds, the sun shining brightly, clear skies, fresh air, and most importantly, the air quality was really good.
🌸 In Xichang, we stayed at the Xichang Guanhai Tingtao Art Hotel. It was like finding a treasure, very, very nice, comfortable to the extreme, whether it's the hotel location, interior environment, parking, room types, service, food, etc., all worthy of praise, and the off-season price was beautiful! The key is that it's very close to the seaside, just separated by a road. It's very close to Yinlin Beach, Jinlin Beach, Lushan Scenic Area, and Dashiban Village.
🗓 Itinerary:
Since we were with a child, we didn't want to rush through the sights or be too regimented, so we played as we pleased.
On the first day, we arrived in Xichang around three or four in the afternoon, rested for a while, and then walked to the seaside for a stroll. Walking on the sea boardwalk, the child played with sand, which was very pleasant. But here's a warning, don't go to Rongyuan for food, the service and taste are not good at all!
On the second day, we had breakfast at the hotel. Since the child wanted to stay in bed and my husband also felt it was nice to sit on the hotel balcony listening to the sound of the sea and enjoying the view of the courtyard trees, we didn't go out in the morning. In the afternoon, when it was less sunny, we went to the nearby Dashiban Village, an unimaginably beautiful village with blue skies, white clouds, yellow walls, green stone water paths, and Lingying Temple, a nice place to take a walk. Then, before the sun set, we went to Jinlin Beach not far ahead. The sand may not be as good as the seaside, but it was still very nice, and the child loved playing there. Watching the sunset glow spread over Qionghai, watching the gentle waves of Qionghai, watching the child's joyful laughter, watching the wind rustle the willows on the shore... It was truly a happy and relaxing trip.
On the third day, we woke up the child very early because we were going to Lushan. We got up early to avoid the sun at its strongest. We were the first ones waiting at the ticket office, and because we arrived early, we could park freely at the entrance. If you come late, you might not be able to park, as there are very few parking spaces at the ticket office entrance. Lushan was also a very surprising place. We took the cable car up the mountain, which was quite relaxing. From the observation deck, you can have a bird's eye view of Qionghai, very magnificent! Then we visited the ancient Guangfu Temple on the mountain, worth a visit. We also saw monkeys🐒. We took the slide down the mountain, which can be understood as a very long slide, sliding down from inside the mountain, and you can see many monkeys🐒 during the process. The child really liked it.
We had lunch at the hotel at noon, and I must say, even the lunch at this hotel was very delicious and not expensive. After resting for a while, we set off back to Chengdu. On the way back, we also casually visited Menghuo City, but since it was a bit cold on the mountain, and I have a bit of a fear of huge things, we didn't stay long and continued on our way. It was already dark when we arrived in Chengdu.
❤ Overall, this trip was very pleasant, and this kind of self-drive trip that allows you to play at your own pace is really perfect for a family trip!
Xichang, recommended!

A tree of golden yellow warms the heart, and the garden is full of wind chimes, drunk with the light of spring
Spring days are busy with flower viewing, time flows by like water, sunlight spreads over mountains and fields, the spring breeze brushes the face, bringing endless tenderness.
Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, summer greens and winter withers, a year's wait turns into this moment of blooming. The Qionghai Wetland Park in spring is the stage for the yellow bellflower trees, clusters and bunches, thousands of golden bellflowers hang from the treetops, intense and bright.
The plum garden attraction of the Qionghai Wetland Park is where the large flowers of the yellow bellflower trees, shaped like trumpets, hang full on the branches, shining against the blue sky and white clouds, forming a splendid and colorful spring scroll.
Whether standing on the pavilion overlooking or strolling on the stone steps looking up, one will be attracted by this bright yellow, feeling endless joy and anticipation in the heart.
Qionghai Wetland Park is full of spring, and the yellow bellflower trees display their beauty. Please come to Qionghai Wetland Park to check in! Let the golden verses of the yellow bellflower trees treasure all the beautiful memories in the bottom of our hearts, accompanying us through a gorgeous spring.
Along the streets, rows of yellow bellflower trees stand tall and graceful, with golden flowers blooming in competition, turning Yuehai Road into a golden 'flower road'. Although it lacks the grandeur of 'the city is full of golden armor', it has the elegance and vivacity of 'flowers seen on branches without leaves'.
On the branches, each 'little wind chime' saturates itself, blooming lively under the sunlight, a large expanse of gold, the clusters of flowers on the trees sway gently with the rhythm of the breeze, each sway overflowing with the enthusiasm of spring.
The bright flowers hang full on the branches, as bright and dazzling as the sun, and in their wanton blooming, they also carry warmth that goes straight to the heart. Look, those bright flower branches extend into the boundless blue sky, like an oil painting by a master, amazing!
Now, large patches of bright yellow light up the city streets and brighten the entire city, becoming a beautiful landscape in Xichang city. Such a beautiful scene does not require posing, a casual snap is a masterpiece!
Flower viewing address: The entire stretch of Yuehai Road
Warm reminder: The yellow bellflower trees are planted on both sides of the road. Please pay attention to safety when viewing flowers and taking pictures, and do not shoot on the road.

Sichuan's Little Switzerland~YeLe Lake
Sichuan's Little Switzerland~YeLe Lake, Buddha said:
Only deep and profound fate
Can make us walk the same path over and over again, and go to the same place over and over again
YeLe Lake, which allows me to visit the same place twice, is one of them. I accidentally saw YeLe Lake on the Internet a few years ago
Indeed, it is a niche attraction that few people know about. It is in a semi-open state
You need to book a homestay in the scenic area in advance to enter the scenic area. There are very few homestays, and only one has good conditions
I like this semi-open state, which greatly controls the flow of people and will not disturb the lives of the original residents
It also enhances the experience of guests staying in the scenic area. The first time I went to YeLe Lake was during the Spring Festival in 2022. When other scenic spots were overcrowded
I experienced charter tourism at YeLe Lake (with winter photos)
The feeling is different in different seasons, it's worth me to travel a long way to see it. Today I saw the latest news about YeLe Lake, which is limited to 100 people per day
You can make an appointment online in advance, and you don't need to book a homestay in the scenic area to enter

Visited Yele Lake
Yele Lake | A lakeside worth revisiting
🕹️ Yele Lake is a reservoir located in the mountains of Mianning, with an altitude of 2600 meters. It boasts scenic views of mountains and lakes, situated in Yele Township of Mianning County, 320 kilometers from Chengdu, about a 4-hour drive, which is perfect for a weekend trip.
🚗 Transportation: After exiting the highway, the road to Yele Lake will climb a mountain pass, but the road condition is quite good, and the road is relatively wide. Just be aware of falling rocks.
✅ About reservation: Currently, there is no need to make a reservation or book a homestay to enter Yele Lake. You only need to register fire prevention information twice to enter.
🏠 Accommodation: There are several homestays and camping sites⛺️ inside, but the voltage may be unstable in the homestays.
🍲 Dining: There are no dedicated restaurants in Yele Lake. Meals can be pre-ordered from homestays. This time we chose to pre-order from Miye Inn, and the smoked meat stewed chicken soup pot we had was very tasty, recommended👍
🌲 Scenery: Yele Lake has pleasant scenery, with different views in each season. It has a quiet beauty that feels secluded from the world, with primitive villages of ethnic minorities, few people, beautiful views, and many animals. Along the way, there are monkeys🐒, cattle and sheep🐑🐂, pigs🐖. Snow-capped mountains are within easy reach, and when the weather is good and the sun is out, the lake shimmers beautifully. You can watch the sunrise and sunset🌄, and at night there are stars🌃. It's very relaxing, fun, beautiful, and photogenic by the lakeside. In summer, when the grass turns green, it should be even more beautiful.
I want to go again in winter.
Highly recommend camping⛺️
1️⃣ For camping, you can navigate to📍 Yele Lake Shepherd Tribe Camping Base. It costs 40 yuan/car to enter, plus 10 yuan per person. Camping overnight costs 100 yuan per car, and individuals are not charged. The campsite has toilets, hot water, and wooden platforms for tents⛺️, close to the mountains and lakeside, with nice views.
2️⃣ If you stay in your car for camping, you can navigate to📍 Miye Inn. There is a large open space in front of the inn where you can also camp for free, next to the lakeside, with beautiful scenery. You can borrow the toilet at the inn for washing, and you can also pre-order meals there. The owner is very nice, highly recommended!
Tips: The mountain road to Yele Lake is in good condition and friendly for beginners. Sedans can go up the mountain, but be careful of falling rocks⚠️
The temperature varies greatly between morning and evening, and the wind by the lake is also strong, so be prepared with thick clothes and a hat.

South Gate Datong Gate🌿
The entrance to the scenic area is the Great Wall. Climb the city tower to overlook the entire ancient city, but it's a bit hot when you stroll around without shade.
Yongquan Street🌊
There is a moment when you feel like you're in Lijiang, you must slow down and stroll around.
South Street🍁
During the day, it's the local life atmosphere, and at night, it's brightly lit, like lighting up history.
Dining🥤
Chef Down the Mountain
The must-order specialty is stir-fried pork, which is stir-fried with piglet meat. The taste is really good. The restaurant is courtyard-style, where you can eat while basking in the sun.
Tea Drinking🍵
Go to the "Fruit Fruit Juice" there, which is opened by a Yi girl named Guoguo. The taste and environment are amazing. I was attracted by the courtyard of this shop, because it is easy to find on the roadside of South Street. Enjoying the blue sky and warm sun in the courtyard and drinking your favorite tea is very comfortable~
