This is the least popular town I’ve visited this year. I’m so afraid it might become popular…

First time for a drama festival
I flew to 📍Sichuan Xichang
Unexpectedly, in the gradually cold November, this place is still warm and overflowing.
The azure and healing Qionghai Sea
Ancient villages and towns with few people
A treasure town where you can watch dramas and travel at the same time
It's really worth a visit!

How to play⁉️
1️⃣Qiong Seaside (Daliangshan Drama Festival Lake Space)
✔️Around the lake: If the weather is good, the lake will be very blue and you can walk and play along the lakeside boardwalk, which is comfortable and healing all the way.
✔️Moon West: The cruise ship terminal and the Moon Goddess statue are all here.
✔️Diaoyutai: The wooden plank road leading to the center of the lake is great for taking photos.
✔️Qionghai Hotel: Surrounded by mountains and water, you can come here in the afternoon to drink coffee and enjoy the breeze, which is full of holiday feeling~
-
2️⃣Tingtao Valley (Daliangshan Drama Festival Mountain Space)
✔️It has the only valley theater in the country, a place that combines natural environment and art. Not only can you watch plays, but you can also go shopping. There are cafes, theaters, art galleries, and study rooms. There is an entire art district. Finally, you can go up to the observation deck and overlook Qionghai Lake!
✔️I watched the performance of "Guangling Jue Xiang" here in the afternoon and it was very enjoyable! In the evening, we watched the puppet show "Othello" from Georgia. The lively puppet performance drew constant applause from the audience!
-
3️⃣Torch Square (Daliangshan Drama Festival City Space)
A landmark building in Xichang City, the Daliangshan Torch Festival is held here every year! The 56 torch pillars represent 56 ethnic groups, and each pillar has a different totem.
-
4️⃣ Jianchang Ancient Town
Although it is in the city, there are not many people. You can overlook the entire ancient city by climbing the city wall. It is suitable for a niche ancient city citywalk!
-
5️⃣ Dashiban Ancient Village
The quaint village is very suitable for taking photos of the Yi people. There is also a Lingying Temple inside, and the orange-yellow walls are particularly bright.
