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.

A must-see performance in Xichang. I visited the Yi Museum the day before, and then watched a live fire show. The Yi people are really a mysterious and unfathomable nation. It's great.

A must-see performance in Xichang. I visited the Yi Museum the day before, and then watched a live fire show. The Yi people are really a mysterious and unfathomable nation. It&#39;s great.

It was a pleasant surprise. Although it was only an hour, it was worth it. I booked it in advance, so my seat was in the first row, and I also received a small gift from the actors. I personally recommend booking A2, which is very suitable.

I watched the show &quot;Aranyu&quot; last night. The lighting and scenery are very grand, and the design is very natural according to the terrain and geographical location. It&#39;s a pity that the show is only one hour long. The overall program and the arrangement are very good. The only regret is that after watching the show, there was no shouting, no atmosphere, and no voices from the Yi friends who were dancing and singing at the bonfire party to experience the Yi culture. They walked around the bonfire quietly. It&#39;s a pity that so much money was spent. I originally wanted to feel the atmosphere of the bonfire party, but I followed the fool and walked around the bonfire silently, which made people discouraged and disappointed. If I have the opportunity to go again, I hope that Yi friends will greet friends watching from afar with the hospitality of the Yi people and the songs and dances they love in their hearts...
