Travel guide from Chengdu to Xichang

You don't need any strategy, do you? It's convenient to go to Xichang. Buy a round-trip ticket at the railway station. The express train will arrive in about 10 hour. It's best to buy an all-night train, so that you can sleep and have more time to play.

Flying back and forth is not recommended. The plane will arrive in half an hour, but the ticket will be around 400 yuan (one way), which is not cost-effective. Compare the price of hard seats on trains. If you want to take a sleeper, it seems to be 200.

Qionghai and Lushan are both in the urban area, and the two scenic spots are very close. Very close. The entrance fee for Lushan Mountain is three yuan. It's good to climb mountains and see the sea.

Mount Lushan and go down to Qionghai. Qionghai does not need tickets. Go to a small fishing village to eat grilled fish by boat. Boat ticket, 5 yuan. Then you can take a bus back to the city from the small fishing village. You can also rent a bike or something to ride along Qionghai River. Of course, it depends on whether you can stand the sun in Xichang.

There is also a national square in Xichang City, with a song and dance performance, which is not bad. The night view of the National Square is also good.

There is also a Tianxi Garden with a ticket price of 20, which is very good.

Luoji Mountain is even simpler, only 1 hour drive from downtown. You can find the owner of your hotel to help you contact the driver. Usually 50 a day, including round trip. The driver will take you to Luoji Mountain, then wait for you at the foot of the mountain and make an appointment to take you back.

Tickets for Luoji Mountain are 50, cableway 140. Very beautiful. But go early, because it's relatively high, and it still takes a little time to get up. The ropeway must go, or it will take several days to climb.

I suggest you arrange the time longer. Travel to Lugu Lake. Buy tickets at Xichang bus station. It will arrive in about seven hours. The fare is over 80, I wonder if the price has increased. Lugu Lake tickets to 80 yuan. Lugu Lake is very beautiful. Personally, I think it looks better than Qionghai. Don't worry about accommodation. Xichang is full of cheap and clean hotels, and dozens of them can stay well. So is Lugu Lake. In summer, the surface of Lugu Lake is full of white flowers, which is very beautiful. It is a very suitable place for a person to be in a daze.

Xichang's special snacks include rice noodles, barbecue (there is that kind of special sausage, try it), drunken shrimp, meat and wild mushrooms. . . Their fungi are very suitable, many of which are natural. Fruit is delicious, too.

Xichang has strong sunshine, so pay attention to sun protection. It is also relatively dry, so pay attention to moisturizing. It doesn't rain much and it's not cold.

Xichang was very hot at the end of June, but it was not as sultry as Chengdu, and there was a cool breeze. Personally, I think it is tolerable.

Pay attention to altitude sickness when going to Luoji Mountain.

Xichang is very convenient to withdraw money. You don't need to bring much cash, and this trip doesn't need much money. About 1000 is enough. Of course, if you want to buy local products, bring more.

In addition, it is not recommended to go to the Torch Festival. It is so crowded that it is difficult to buy train tickets. And there are people everywhere, and the price of food and shelter has gone up. Xichang is just as beautiful when it is not the Torch Festival.
