If you want to visit Xichang, then the following attractions are very suitable for you. Of course, you can also choose to go to Xichang to taste local delicacies. There are also many delicacies in Xichang, no matter where they are. will disappoint you. Introduction to Xichang

As the "back garden of Chengdu people", it is the venue for this year's CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. The recent fireworks show has just attracted everyone's attention.

It is not large in area, but it has the second largest freshwater lake in Sichuan Province, countless 3A and 4A scenic spots, and even "moved" "Chang'e" in!

Others There are at most a few local specialties in the city, but here, through simple barbecue, one ingredient after another has been promoted to the altar. Even the very ordinary potatoes have become popular among tourists.

What’s even more annoying is that I heard that living here, you can experience a rocket launch every now and then. This operation is simply shocking to others.

Qionghai, barbecue, and Torch Festival have been introduced too much, and the fruit has long been sweet to the whole country, but what Sister Shuo wants to tell you is that your understanding of it is still too young too simple!

The comfort of Xichang comes first from its superior geographical location.

The Anning Valley Plain where it is located is the second largest plain in Sichuan, and the urban area is surrounded by mountains three to four thousand meters above sea level;

Some people once said that Kunming and Xichang are They are the most livable places in the country. They are located on the plateau but the altitude is only more than 1,000 meters. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the sunshine hours are long, so the food is very original.

The average annual temperature of 17 degrees brings a sense of living comfort. The climate is relatively dry and it is not easy to get rheumatism. The most important thing is that you can escape the heat in the summer and live in the winter. Even the southern coastal cities are not so comfortable.

Because of its mild climate and rich products, it is known as the "treasure basin" of southwestern Sichuan.

In short, Xichang is really a very suitable place to relax.

Qionghai, the second largest freshwater lake in Sichuan Province with an area of ??about 31 square kilometers, has an average depth of 14 meters and is a faulted lake in the early Pleistocene.

It not only regulates the climate in Xichang, but also makes Deyang people envious countless times.

"Outsiders can't get it, but locals can make it."

"Looking at the sea" can also become a common thing: looking at the morning glow and boats when running in the morning, drinking tea and playing mahjong at the beach during the day, watching the sunset in the evening, and watching the moon at night, every time Each section has its own "Versailles".

The dream of "basking in the sun during the day and watching the stars and moon at night" can come true here.

As a result, B&Bs with excellent views have sprung up along the lake, becoming a "Little Sanya" that Sichuan people can have without having to fly far.

As Lushan Mountain has the best view overlooking Qionghai Lake, the front mountain costs 5 yuan, and the back mountain is free. You can go up and down in one day.

This Lushan Mountain is not the other Lushan Mountain. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and other religions have existed in Lushan Mountain for thousands of years. It is a treasured place for locals to pray every year, and it is also a place for almost every student in Xichang during their spring outing. memories.

The city gate filled with smoke and smoke hides the "longing for life". When I get up early to go to the market, my ears are filled with the cries of small vendors, the dialect greetings between neighbors, and the sound of bicycles. The sound of bells?

In April, jacarandas are in full bloom, and as long as the breeze blows, it seems that the whole city is raining purple flowers.

In addition to Aerospace North Road, you can see relatively good jacaranda scenery at the Flower and Bird Market between Shengli Road and Wenhui Road, Binhe South Road, Jianjian South Road, and Changbanqiao, which is both sad and romantic. color.

One sentence: "The climate, fruits, vegetables and sunshine in Xichang cannot be bought with money from other places."

From the perspective of anthropology and ethnology , Anning River Valley is located in the Tibetan and Yi Corridor, the cultural corridor of diversity and integration of the Chinese nation.

Xichang, as one of the important cities, has given birth to a unique cultural heritage of multi-ethnic integration.

In the music of the Yi people, a large number of "oral string" elements are added.

It is a musical instrument commonly used by the Yi people. It has a low and loud sound, and it sounds like it is describing mountains and rivers.

The most famous one, the "July Torch Festival", is played on time every summer, and is as popular in the local area as any popular Douyin song.

In the legend of the Yi people, fire falling from the sky taught humans how to speak. Fire is considered to be the beginning of civilization. The Yi people living in Liangshan regard fire as life and soul.

So on this grand festival, the Torch Festival, men, women and children dressed in festive costumes flock to the Torch Festival venue from all directions.

The girls each held a yellow oil umbrella to pay tribute to the sun and fire. People formed circles, dancing and singing.

The greedy children are waiting to eat the festival meat, and the beauty-loving girls are looking forward to wearing newly sewn pleated skirts, long silver earrings and agate pendants to participate in the Torch Festival beauty pageant.

As night falls, the climax of the Torch Festival appears. People light pole torches one after another. When piles of bonfires are lit in the streets and squares, everyone forms a circle and dances. People who have never met before Suddenly they were dance partners.

Affected by cultural integration, drinking has become a movable sign in Xichang. Xuehua has admired the name for a long time, so he opened a branch factory specifically for the people of Liangshan, and also specially made the "Colorful Liangshan" series, from which "Liangshan Oral Liquid" got its name.

There are also codes for drinking here: 525 and 121. 525 means a bottle of wine, half a bottle for me and half a bottle for you; 121 means one bottle for you and one for me.

So when you arrive at the store, whenever you hear that you want to drink, the boss will understand and carry one item for you. If you perform well, stainless steel basins with round-root sauerkraut will be prepared for you at any time.

Not only boys can drink, but many girls also have an astonishing drinking capacity, and they are the kind of people who are late to the game. Everyone regards their drinking capacity as their undoubted advantage.

Of course, what attracts the most hatred is that in this ethnic minority area, the Torch Festival and the Year of the Yi are both legal holidays, a full 15 days longer than in other places.

When it is inconvenient to travel across provinces, they can enjoy the picturesque mountains and rivers without even leaving the state? Xichang Food

In Xichang, treating guests to barbecue is the best A way to socialize.

Other places regard barbecue as a late-night snack. But in Xichang, a barbed wire fence, a mountain of meat, and boxes of "Liangshan Oral Liquid" are the most common dinners for Xichang people.

Grilled Small Intestines

If you want to judge the standard of a barbecue restaurant, you need to see whether its small intestines are grilled well.

When you bite into it, the fat wraps the soft inside, making each bite crunchy and crispy, making you fall in love in a second.

Roasted Pork

If I were to choose the top restaurant in the roasted pig world, I would not hesitate to vote for Liangshan.

The unique slaughtering method of the Yi people allows the natural aroma of pine cones to penetrate into the pork. It is chopped into pieces with the skin and bones. It only needs to be simply seasoned with millet pepper, minced garlic and salt, and then added with local rapeseed. Oil can infuse the soul.

The fat dripping on the flames makes a crackling sound, grilled until the skin of the meat is slightly browned, dipped in special dry ingredients (sautéed bean noodles with chili noodles), and devour, it is crispy and tender, and you can’t help but want to eat it again Eat one more piece.

Grilled rice balls

In addition, potatoes and white melons are also frequent guests on the barbecue grill. Of course, don’t forget the icy cold Liangshan snow. In the land of Liangshan, it is the best way to relieve hangovers and relieve tiredness!
