High-speed rail direct! No one can refuse Xichang during the Torch Festival

Ever since Xichang opened the high-speed rail, Saying it's 'around Chengdu' is really not an exaggeration at all! From Chengdu to Xichang, the fastest bullet train takes only 3 hours, which is just the time to watch a movie on the high-speed rail. So Xichang has also become the hottest weekend destination around Chengdu. Let me share my weekend travel guide! D1: Chengdu-Xichang-Qionghai Moonlight Town-Dashiban Village, I suggest taking the 8:00 AM bullet train, which takes 3 hours to reach Xichang. This way, you can arrive in Xichang, have lunch, and then stroll around Qionghai. Qionghai is very large, you can rent a bike to ride slowly and take photos along the way. We first went to Moonlight Town, which is also a place where many locals in Xichang relax and have fun. Cycling, walking, boating, you can experience the slow life of Xichang people. Then continue along Qionghai to Dashiban Village. In recent years, the yellow walls of Lingying Temple in Dashiban Village have become very popular. There are many travel photos taken here, and it is a popular internet celebrity check-in spot in Xichang. You can rent a set of Yi ethnic costumes, which are really photogenic. D2: Luoji Mountain Hot Springs-Jianchang Ancient City In the morning, head to Luoji Mountain to soak in the hot springs. I have soaked in many hot springs, but this is the first time I have seen such a waterfall hot spring in Luoji Mountain. In the afternoon, stroll around Jianchang Ancient City. Jianchang Ancient City is located in Xichang City. I suggest booking accommodation near Jianchang Ancient City so that you can enjoy the night view of the ancient city at night and slowly feel the slow life of the ancient city during the day. Moreover, I heard that during the Torch Festival from July 26 to August 4, Jianchang Ancient City will have a series of Torch Festival activities called 'Fire Dance Summer Night Starry Jianchang'. There will be dragon fish lantern parades, bonfire carnivals, garden activities, circus carnivals, etc. Xichang during the Torch Festival is definitely not to be missed. Food recommendations: When you come to Xichang, you must eat the fire pot barbecue. I recommend going to those old shops that have a bit of a street stall feel, with that unique smoky atmosphere. !! tips: During the Torch Festival, be sure to book your tickets and hotels in advance when coming to Xichang. Experiencing the enthusiasm of Xichang will definitely make your trip worthwhile.
