❤️ Xichang Cuisine
In addition to the recommended spots above, Moon Lake Wetland Park and Dengyue Road also boast beautiful jacaranda blooms.

❤️ Recommended Spot: Beihang Road
This is where you'll find the largest and most vibrant jacaranda blooms in Xichang. The 500-meter purple corridor is particularly striking against the blue sky.

1. Jianchang Alley
The ornate architecture contrasts beautifully with the pure purple blossoms, creating a graceful and elegant scene.

2. Chuangye Road
This is a relatively "hidden gem" with a unique charm, reminiscent of the verse "Flowers bloom silently under the moon in spring, shy of the moonlight in the deep night."

3. Wenhui Road
This street has a warm, down-to-earth atmosphere, much like a scene from a youth romance drama.

🍓 Tips:
💛 Don't forget sunscreen! Don't forget sunscreen! The sun in Xichang is very strong. There are also mosquitoes under the trees, so remember to bring mosquito repellent.

❤️ Transportation: You can drive from Chengdu/Kunming, with travel times of approximately 5 hours/6 hours, respectively. Although the drive is not short, the scenery along the way is spectacular. Besides driving, taking the high-speed train is also a good option. It takes about 3 hours from Chengdu and about 4 hours from Kunming, making it easy to enjoy feichang fen (vermicelli with preserved vegetables) in Chengdu in the morning and barbecue in Xichang at noon.
