Xichang Qionghai’s natural landscape and local customs are the most exciting viewing spots. Nature has given this place unlimited vitality and charm, which will make you feel inexplicably moved. It is especially suitable for bringing children. Come and play, I will share with you detailed strategies below.

1. It is still customary to make a strategy and itinerary plan before traveling

We live in Chengdu. Considering that we have to take a 2 and a half year old child and mother, we plan to find a travel guide for this trip. A place where you can leisurely stroll around and eat (it turned out to be just a plan. After comparing several places, we decided to drive to Xichang-Qionghai by car.

Then I started to read travel notes and guides, such as How to play in Qionghai, where to stay, where to eat, etc.

2. Let’s go! On the road

The journey from Chengdu takes about 5 hours, so we prepared in advance. Put snacks, fruits, and children's staple food in the stew beaker. After lunch, we started to set off. We got on the expressway around 12:30. Since we left on the 4th one day earlier, the road conditions were very good. I would like to remind you that when we are about to arrive, About 60 kilometers before Xichang, the expressway is under construction near the Lugu exit, and there is only one lane. It is recommended to exit the expressway from Lugu in advance.

We took a break in the service area while refueling. I have to say this. My boy is still very capable. He fell asleep around 3 o'clock and woke up almost there.

We arrived at the accommodation at around 6 o'clock in the afternoon. We had booked it in advance on Tujia, Li Yanyu. It's a five-minute walk from the entrance of Luzhou Wetland Park, which is quite convenient. Then I ate something nearby, and then it suddenly started raining heavily, mixed with snow. This made me very worried about the weather the next day. Fortunately, the innkeeper I can say for sure that there will be no impact, and we will definitely see sunshine tomorrow, and the rain will stop in less than an hour.

3. Cycling around the lake in the Wetland Park, eight hours of self-abuse mode

There are many guides to Qionghai. I will summarize them in two ways:

1. If you have enough time, buy a pass for 90 yuan/person and tour the Wetland Park around the lake, as you can see on the hand-drawn map above Yes, there are three fee-paying parks in one city, and the circumference of the lake is about 30 kilometers. You can rent a bicycle, or you can walk and take a sightseeing car;

2. Not enough time, only half a day or not For one day, you can go directly to Moonlight Style Town and Qionghai Park. These two places are next to each other and both are free. The scenery is also very good.

Start our self-destructive cycling around the lake. Mode, get up in the morning, have breakfast, walk to the entrance of Yanyu Luzhou Wetland Park, and buy tickets (you can buy a pass or buy the three parks separately. I want to give a thumbs up to the management of the scenic spot. The 90 yuan pass can be used for two days. It's still very user-friendly. When you go in, you can see a car rental point. We, three adults and one child, rented a four-person car for 40 yuan/hour, with a three-hour limit, which is 120 yuan for a day of riding until we leave the park in the afternoon. Just go to any car rental point.

Route: We came in from Yanyu Luzhou Wetland Park, which is point B of the bird watching island. We walked and stopped all the way and arrived at noon. Small fishing village G, you can have lunch here, then continue to ride along the lake to Moon Bay E, continue to D Qinglong Temple and Jinlin Beach, finally ride to Walnut Village point C to return the car, go out and wait for the 106 bus to return to your residence .

I rode for 8 hours this day, I guess it must be at least about 20 kilometers. It’s too tiring, so let’s take a look at the picture first

Yes, don’t ask me why the lake is so small. Because I rode around the wetland all morning, I didn’t see Qionghai until I arrived at the small fishing village at noon

The sun in Xichang is too strong, so be sure to wear sunscreen when you come here!< /p>

Finally, I took the kid to play at Jinlin Beach for a while. The wind was getting a bit strong. I was afraid of rain so I hurried to Walnut Village. There was still 1.5 kilometers left. I returned the car at the return point of Walnut Village and walked out. When you go there, you can see a bus stop and wait for the 106 bus. It takes a long time to get a bus. There are so many people! It reminds me of that time in college when I took the 204 bus into the city with my wife.

End of a day of riding , I really can’t stand it anymore, and I urgently need a Xichang barbecue to replenish my energy.

I really want to complain here. The brazier barbecue, which is ranked number one in reviews by someone, doesn’t taste that good. There were so many people after that. I had to wait for 40 tables for almost an hour (the kids were fed during this period, and finally... I tried it, but the taste was really average. The chili noodles were not very fragrant. The meat quality of the pig meat that I was most looking forward to was also average. I didn’t think it was as delicious as the Liao’s restaurant that is open downstairs in my house. It was mainly because my wife was obsessed with being drunk. The shrimps were also sold out, so I hurriedly finished eating and went back to the inn to put the baby to sleep. I also found a barbecue restaurant downstairs and got drunk shrimp late. It was really good

4. Enjoy your leisurely stroll

I originally thought that this trip to Qionghai would be easy, but I didn’t expect that we were really tired yesterday, so today we planned to go to the Moonlight Town and Qionghai Park, and finally go there, okay? After having enough fun at the beach, take him to play in the sand

When we arrived at Moonlight Town, it was almost the time to bid farewell to the martyrs who died in the Liangshan fire. Many people spontaneously stood on the roadside to bid farewell to the heroes. We We also stood silently on the side of the road waiting, watching the convoy, and praying for a safe journey for the heroes!

Then we walked to the Moonlight Town. Unexpectedly, the scenery and perspective here were not inferior to those in the paid scenic spot yesterday. There are several observation decks, and the sunshine is bright, beautiful!

Walking along the moonlight town all the way to Qionghai Park, the viewing angles are very good, and there are several places that are very suitable for taking various creative photos, but I have no choice but to My photography skills are not good enough. You can also rent a boat for fun. This area is very lively!

After lunch, we went to a nearby supermarket to buy some food, and then drove to Walnut Village, where there is a parking lot. The pass I bought yesterday allows me to enter the scenic spot today. We took a sightseeing bus from Walnut Village to Jinlin Beach and took the boy to play in the sand. This is his favorite and I will leave the afternoon to you!

It was almost five o'clock when we came out of the beach. We originally planned to go back after two o'clock. Unexpectedly, the children and adults had a lot of fun, but as long as we have fun, it's fine.

Summary of the trip

1. If you want to have fun, there is no need to go around the lake. It is really unbearable. You can buy tickets for No. 3 Mengxun Huahai Wetland Park. This is the largest park. The scenery is also good, or you can go directly to Moonlight Town and Qionghai Park.

2. The people in Xichang are really warm and honest in doing business! I just didn’t eat the barbecue this time. I'm satisfied with the taste, which gives me an excuse to try it again next time.

3. Be sure to take sun protection measures. My forearms and neck are still hurting from the sun!
