July 10 reminds me of Lugu Lake. Is it the rainy season? How's the weather? Is it safe to take a bus from Chengdu to Xichang? Will the price go up a lot?

Xichang usually doesn't rain several times a year, but you should consider sun protection. The sun is very strong. The security problem is still not big, and Xichang is developing very well now. I suggest you take the late train and arrive in Xichang the next morning. You can take a day off in Xichang, buy a ticket to Lugu Lake at the station near Qionghai the next morning, and take a swim, blow the wind and eat grilled fish in Qionghai. That day was comfortable! Go to the daughter country the next day.
