Spring is a thousand times of spring and beautiful scenery...
After the late spring cold, spring is coming to Chengdu
In March, the first wave of rapeseed flowers🌸 are about to bloom
In a treasure town 1.5 hours away from Chengdu🚗, we found a flower field. This is a visual feast of rapeseed flowers. The warm spring sun🌞, blue sky and white clouds☁️, green tiles and white walls, coupled with the golden color all over the eyes, it feels like being in the ancient town of Xizhou! This is the super unpopular "Weiyuan Xinchang Town Ten Thousand Acres of Rapeseed Fields"!

How to get there❓——
Self-driving navigation "Xinchang Toll Station (G4215 Rongzun Expressway Exit)", after reaching the expressway 🛣️ exit, you can see the golden sea of flowers on the left hand side, continue driving in that direction for about 5 minutes, turn into the small road and you will arrive.

This place is really big, and there is a free viewing platform in the park, where you can overlook the entire sea of flowers. If you go early, there are almost no passers-by or cars except various insects and one or two villagers who come to enjoy the cool air. It's really great to have the whole sea of flowers all to yourself❗
There are many paths and ridges in the flower fields, so you don't have to worry about stepping on rape flowers. Standing on the free viewing platform, overlooking the thousands of acres of flowers, it's very shocking!

📷【Photography Tips】——
Prepare props: straw hat|newspaper|small flower basket|cattail leaf fan|watermelon, all are good for taking photos
It is recommended to take photos before 10 o'clock or in the evening, when the light is the best and the sun is not too strong.
【Notes】⚠️——
There are many mosquitoes in the fields, so be prepared with mosquito repellent;
The weather is hot, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun;
The small roads are narrow, so don’t block the roads when parking;
Don’t step into the flower fields❗

【Weiyuan Zigong One-Day Tour Guide】
You can go to Zigong together to have fun on weekends❗
In the morning, visit the rapeseed fields in Xinchang Town, drive 🚗50min to Zigong City, check in the local food, and in the afternoon, visit Xianshi Ancient Town, walk along the river, and go to the temple to pray. The blue bricks and tiles of the ancient town and the tangled ancient trees are all very photogenic~!
