This spring, make sure to visit Xichang to see the jacaranda flowers and taste the local delicacies

🌸Attraction recommendation: The jacaranda trees on Aerospace North Road in Xichang are a popular spot for photos. The romantic purple flower sea blooms every year from April to May, making it perfect for taking pictures. It is recommended to go in the early morning or evening to avoid the crowds.

🌸Nearby snacks: There are authentic Xichang flavors around the jacaranda trees. It is recommended to try:
Huili Chicken and Shredded Rice Cake (small shop on Aerospace North Road) - The soup is fresh and the rice cake is soft.
Liangshan Potato Burger (roadside stall) - Potato with Houttuynia cordata and chili sauce, a local specialty;
Grilled Tilapia (nearby stalls) - A must-order for Xichang brazier barbecue

🌸Other delicacies
Drunken Shrimp (fresh shrimp from Qionghai Lake, spicy and refreshing)
Mianning Local Restaurant (cured meat, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes are super delicious)

🌸Accommodation: Homestays near Qionghai Hotel are cost-effective (such as Qionghai 17 Degrees, clean and comfortable, CNY 200-300/night in the off-season)

🌸Transportation: The Chengdu bullet train takes 3 hours to reach Xichang West Station. A taxi to the jacaranda trees in the city center costs CNY 10. Pay attention to sun protection when driving, and bring an umbrella in the rainy season.

⚠️Avoid
The prices of fruit stalls in scenic spots are vague, so ask clearly first.
Avoid expensive wild mushrooms in barbecue restaurants and choose old shops with clearly marked prices.

Seize the flowering period and come to Xichang to encounter a purple spring!🌸
