Spring Festival Travel Guide from Chongqing to Xichang Spring Festival Travel Guide from Chongqing to Xichang

1. Self-driving travel guide from Chongqing to Xichang

If you want to go to Tengchong and Ruili for nine days without going back, then you have to give up some places. I suggest giving some space to Dali. Here is a rough itinerary for you. It may be a long drive in the first two days.

On the first day, the Chongqing-Kunming Expressway traveled 860 kilometers.

I lived near Dianchi Lake. I got up the next day and fed the seagulls before leaving.

The next day, Kunming-Ruili 700 kilometers highway.

On the third day, Ruili-Tengchong is 190 kilometers away.

It's over two hours. Drive to Ruili and Tengchong. You can leave after eating during the day and just book a room, or you can stay one night and leave early the next morning.

The fourth day: Tengchong

Play for one day and stay one night.

Day 5 Tengchong-Lijiang 510 kilometers

It takes almost 8 hours to drive. In the afternoon, go to Lijiang in the evening.

Day 6 Lijiang-Lugu Lake 210 kilometers

It took more than 4 hours to get to Lijiang Lugu Lake. After spending the morning in Lijiang, I had lunch and started walking slowly.

On the seventh day, spend a day around Lugu Lake.

Day 8 Lugu Lake-Xichang 250 kilometers

About 6 hours. You can arrange to leave early and leave late. If you live near Qionghai, just play near Qionghai!

On the ninth day, Xichang-Chongqing 730 kilometers highway.

This was the route I planned to take during the Spring Festival last year, but there was a traffic jam when I arrived in Dali, so I couldn’t go to Tengchong and Ruili, so I went directly to Lijiang! 3500 kilometers all the way down!

4. How to get from Chongqing to Xichang

The one-way trip from Chongqing to Lugu Lake can take two days.

The first day from Chongqing to Xichang

On the second day, Xichang went to Lugu Lake. The overall road condition is relatively good. It is worth mentioning that there is a section from Ya'an to Xichang. From Ya'an to Xichang, take the Yaxi Expressway. The Yaxi Expressway is famous for its high technology content and beautiful scenery, and is known as the Cloud Expressway.

It is about 700 kilometers from Chongqing to Xichang, and it is difficult to arrive on the same day. It’s recommended to stay in Xichang on the day. First, you can rest, and second, you can go to Xichang to see the scenery of Qionghai. The schedule for the next day was also quite tight.

The section from Xichang to Lugu Lake is mainly a provincial highway with good road quality, but almost the entire section is a mountain road, especially the section from Xichang to Yanyuan, with many detours, sharp turns and many speed limits. Be sure to drive carefully!

The way to go around Lugu Lake is to go around the lake. The road around the lake is good, but most of it is uphill and downhill. There are several observation decks where you can park for sightseeing, and you can also take a boat tour of the island. The best place to watch the sunrise is to take a boat to the center of the lake in the morning. It is also good to watch the sunrise on the Rigg Peninsula. The best place to watch the sunset is at Goddess Bay, which is also good with other elephants around Daluoshui Pier.
