Xichang is definitely worth a visit, and Qionghai is a must. Remember to rent a power-assisted bicycle, not an electric bicycle. Only power-assisted bicycles can enter the scenic area. We didn’t know we rented an electric bicycle on the first day, so we just walked around the outer circle. On the second day, we rented power-assisted bicycles and walked inside the scenic area. The scenery is super good and the area is very large, which is super suitable for a ride. The Liangshan burgers are delicious. Some are very spicy and some have millet peppers. You can put less pepper 🌶 Liangshan snow is delicious, Tuotuo meat is delicious, and strawberries 🍓 are really cheap.
Come to Xichang must Bohai Sea! This is the back garden of Chengdu, the scenery is pleasant and the environment is beautiful. The four seasons are like spring! Bobo, blue waves, breeze is not dry, leisure and entertainment, have a cup of coffee to enjoy the scenery!

Highly recommended, especially the iron flower scene, which is quite impressive. The four-part series is quite compact. The actors are quite serious, and the mountains, waters, and fire are all very dedicated. Worth having. The stage effect is very good.
The overall feeling is good. First, I have seen many local theme performances. Compared with other large-scale theme performances in Guangxi, Gansu, Anhui and other places, the theme song of Aranyu is more creative and has strong national characteristics; second, the actors' performances are artistic, and there are interactions, toasts, water splashing, haha, not monotonous; third, the use of large-scale facilities such as sound, light, electricity, and water is in place, and the artistry is strong! It is worth seeing! In addition, the tickets in Zone A2 are more cost-effective, and they are separated from the VIP seats by one column, and the feeling is similar! Before and after the performance, there are square performances and interactive dance experiences in the village in front of the Aranyu Theater!

Traveling through the ancient city of Jianchang, 600 years of time 🌆 to Xichang, you must not miss the ancient city of Jianchang! This ancient city, built in Minghongwu for 20 years, has a history of more than 600 years, carrying a heavy historical culture, but full of fireworks on the earth, people are intoxicated. 🚪 When you step into the ancient city, the first thing you see is the majestic city gate and the simple city wall. They witness the changes of the years and silently tell the stories of the past. Walking along the blue stone road, as if crossing back to ancient times, the Ming and Qing Dynasties on the street, the architecture of the Republic of China period is scattered, the complicated wood grain, carvings, stone carvings, all show the exquisite skills of skilled craftsmen. The ancient city is centered on the four arches, and the four main streets radiate to the four sides. During the stroll, there are many old houses in the North Street, which are full of history; the South Street is lively and bustling, and the old brands such as "Xu Guokui" and sister oil tea exude a seductive aroma; The combination of old and new in Cang Street is ancient charm on one side and modern life on the other; the shops in Fujie are gathered, and the two rhubarb Ge trees are full of wish belts, full of warm atmosphere. 🍜 Food is definitely a highlight of Jianchang Ancient City! In addition to the snacks mentioned earlier, the barbecue here is even more amazing. Panlong barbecue panlong small intestine, the outer skin is crispy, bite the grease in the mouth burst; Li Xiaochang special barbecue garden multi-flavored small intestine, spicy, garlic, five flavors, each mouth Q has chewy. There are also old-fashioned roasters, cost-effective, beef, beef tendon skewers on the chopsticks, spicy grilled fish outside the burnt inside, the side dishes are full of soup, and the more you eat, the more you get over the addiction. 🎇 The ancient city at night has a special charm, the lights are brilliant, like daylight. The light show on the upper floor of the city is beautiful, complementing the antique architecture, making people feel like they are in a dream. Taking pictures on the lantern promenade on Yongquan Street is a blockbuster. The only dissatisfaction is that the vehicle traffic management in the ancient city is not perfect. The car can be driven in casually, which affects the experience of walking and hopes to improve. However, this does not affect my love for Jianchang Ancient City. It is still a treasure place worth visiting in my heart. 5 points is great and worth recommending!
Jianchang Ancient City, a family who traveled through time and space, just returned from Jianchang Ancient City, must come to share my play experience with you! 🌆 [History charm] stepping into the ancient city, as if crossing back to ancient times in an instant. This ancient city, built in the 20 years of Ming Hongwu, has been baptized for more than 600 years, and still retains the layout and architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. Every blue brick and every gap on the city wall tell the story of the years. Arrive at the gate of the city, overlooking the whole view of the ancient city, the nineth street and eighteen lanes are crisscrossed, as if an ancient picture is unfolding slowly in front of you. 🍜 [Food Paradise] If you are a foodie, Jianchang Ancient City can definitely satisfy your taste buds! There are a wide variety of food here, which makes people mouth-watering. The brazier barbecue is a must-eat feature.

There is also Xu Guo Helmet, the outer skin is crispy, the inner filling is soft and sweet, and the aroma is sniffing when you first come out of the pot, bite on it, full of happiness. By the way, you can't miss Li's small intestine barbecue. The small intestine is burnt and tender, and the taste is Q-pop. With special marinade, the more you eat, the more addictive you are. 🎭 [Special Experience] In addition to food and history, there are many interesting experience projects in the ancient city. You can go to the opening ceremony and feel the ancient etiquette and culture; You can also wear Hanfu and take pictures on the city wall, as if you have traveled back to the Daming Dynasty.
