Sancha Lake Scenic Area

||.🌈Chengdu 1h direct, deserted island camping⛺️|||Recommendation rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recommendation reason: A camping treasure spot, with beautiful scenery, where you can barbecue with charcoal, drive onto the grassland on the island, or take a boat to a deserted islet 📍Location address: 1 hour from the center of Chengdu 🧑‍🤝‍🧑On the weekend, at the warm invitation of a friend, we went to his hometown of Sancha Lake, and under his guidance, we discovered several lake islands that seemed like paradises on earth. 🌤️Under the blue sky and white clouds, the rippling lake surface was like a mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds. The large expanse of soft grass was lush and green, making it very comfortable to set up tents. 🌳Although the summer days are scorching, the trees on the island are lush, and there is no need to set up a canopy under the shade of the trees. We could directly set up tables and start making delicious food with friends. 🐠Fish occasionally leaped out of the water on the lake surface, and luckily my friend is an expert fisherman. Under his guidance, I easily mastered the technique of fishing for tilapia. In no time, we had a full catch, allowing me to experience the joy of being a fisherman. 🌅When the sunset filled the lake, the entire lake island was shrouded in a golden glow. We sat by the lake, enjoying this rare leisure time, and felt recharged for the upcoming life.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Lake Sancha is actually a man-made lake? I always thought it was a natural lake, it really doesn't have any traces of human intervention. This hydraulic project is quite significant, being the second largest artificial lake in Sichuan Province, and the key question is how were so many islands excavated? We took a sightseeing boat around the lake, which took about 40 minutes, and the scenery was really nice, with lots of water birds and a superb ecosystem. If you drive yourself, it's even better, as you can drive around the lake and stop to enjoy the beautiful views whenever you want. Sightseeing boat: 80 yuan per person, half price for people over 60 years old For lunch, we ate fish in Sancha Town, where the fish is freshly killed, and the ingredients are stir-fried right at the table, the taste is just indescribable...

After taking the kids to play in Chengdu Eastern New District on the weekend, I realized that this place is truly a treasure for strolling with children in Chengdu.

I sincerely recommend that on a good weather day, you must go to Sancha Lake to space out and see the sea! Friends who don't want to travel far during the upcoming May Day holiday can consider the nearby Xia'er Lake! It's a beautiful lake view that can be reached in 1 hour by car or 2 hours by bus! Sancha Lake is similar to Qiandao Lake with many small islands! The best viewing spot is the Ma'anshan Viewing Platform where you can overlook Sancha Lake! Catching good weather, it's especially beautiful and photogenic! I personally think that the second floor of the viewing platform is really great for taking photos. There are a few glass houses on the shore that are cafes with a petty bourgeoisie atmosphere! Drinking coffee and eating simple meals (and the key is the prices are affordable)!! The tour boats at the pier can be paid to take a lake tour! Sea viewing sequence (route) - Ma'anshan Pier - Ma'anshan Viewing Platform 📍Transportation: Take the Metro Line 18 to Sancha Station, then transfer to Bus Dong 13 and get off at Ma'anshan Viewing Platform Station after 3 stops, or you can take a direct taxi for 15min. The recent Expo Line direct bus can also get there directly, which goes from Sancha Metro or the Expo to Sancha Lake. Tickets: Free!
