Xinglong Lake Outing | The most romantic place to watch the sunset in Chengdu city!

Xinglong Lake, this old internet-famous spot in Chengdu city, is still worth a visit after all these years, in my opinion. I especially love its sunset, when the sun slowly sinks, the lake surface sparkles, and everything is dyed a warm orange-red, like a beautiful painting! 🏕️ The shopping malls, restaurants, and beverage shops around the lake have been well developed, and you can find all the big brands. Camping is very sunny and hot, it is recommended to find a teahouse by the lake to enjoy the shade. 🌸 Those main check-in points and fun activities (actually, you can also not go) 1⃣️ CITIC Bookstore The once sensational 'underwater bookstore', with the special feature that the bookstore is half submerged in water, you can see fish and aquatic plants through the glass. It's crowded and not suitable for reading in peace, and you need to make a reservation to enter. 2⃣️ Beach An artificial beach, great for kids who like to dig and can play for a long time, but the water is dirty, and I personally really resist letting my kids go there. 3⃣️ Water activities Kayaking 68r/30min, there are also sailing boats, and compared to Lùkè Island, there are more options. Because the check-in points and the subway station are far apart, and the greenway is unsheltered, even on a sunny spring day, it is very hot. I suggest not to make a special trip here, just take a simple walk, enjoy the sunset, and relax by the lake. Don't think about walking around the lake in one go, it's very big, and it probably takes 3-4 hours. 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 1, Xinglong Lake Station Exit C leads directly (if driving, you can park at Fangyuanhui, which is very close)
