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. Today, follow my notes to take a look at this future city of Chengdu, a realm of mountains and waters. . 🚎Tour route: Chengdu World Garden Expo Park → Ma'anshan Viewing Platform for lunch → Sancha Lake Cruise → Danjing Platform → Zhiye Library → Linxi Vitality City for dinner → Eastern Meijue Hotel . 1️⃣World Garden Expo Park Themed 'Park City, Beautiful Habitat', it showcases specialty flowers and plants from around the world, as well as exquisite garden and horticultural works. ♦️Must-visit: 🔸Jinyun Tower: The iconic building of the Expo, a traditional Chinese tower, grand and imposing 🔸Tianfu Residential Pavilion: Composed of three intertwined rings of red, blue, and green, where children excitedly run around, a great place for kids to release energy 🔸Panzhihua Pavilion: The oversized Panzhihua and huge mango 🥭 shapes are worth a visit. You can also taste the characteristic fruits of Panzhihua. . 2️⃣Ma'anshan Viewing Platform: Order a specialty drink and gaze at Sancha Lake, with a gentle breeze coming, it's very comfortable. You can also camp on the lawn below, a good place for strolling with kids. In the evening, watching the sunset over the lakeside town, the world is bathed in orange and red, peaceful and serene. . 3️⃣Sancha Lake Cruise: A must-do at Sancha Lake, a favorite of children, where you can enjoy the lake and mountain scenery on the cruise. On the second floor of the boat, you can feel the chill of the breeze. . 4️⃣Danjing Platform: With an excellent view, overlooking the entire Sancha Lake, Tianfu Airport, and the Expo. The spiral walkway is a great place for the little devil to run wild and tumble. The central seed bank is well worth a visit, and the kids love the design that allows them to touch the seeds. The unique tactile experience makes children enjoy this kind of science education even more. Those who like thrills can go to the glass walkway. . 5️⃣Zhiye Library The architecture is uniquely shaped, like a cloud floating above the park, light and transparent. Walking inside is like entering a secret realm, with many children's books on the first floor. The central water feature caught the kids' attention for a long time. . 6️⃣Eastern Meijue Hotel The exterior is dominated by luxurious orange, and the lobby's spiral staircase is very photogenic. The room's oversized bathtub is a favorite of the kids. After a day of strolling with the kids, you can rest well here 🛌

Sancha Lake. Enjoy the sea view at Sancha Lake and the joy of cycling 15 kilometers round trip along the lake When there are clouds, of course you have to go to a place with water. The shadows of the clouds on the water must look like a dream. Because there are many villages and towns along the road of Sancha Lake, and it is not a waterfront area, it is not convenient for vehicles to enter. Therefore, I chose to ride a shared bicycle for a 15-kilometer round trip to Sancha Lake. There are many forks leading into the lake area along the way, which has a high safety factor and is suitable for a one-person cycling outing. The first stop of navigation: Sancha Lake Bicycle Rental Point. After parking the bike, continue navigating to Ma'anshan Observation Deck. 🚖Parking fee 10 yuan Tickets: 0 yuan 🚲 Shared bicycle round trip 10 yuan 🔶🔶Recommended photography spots along the way🔶🔶 ✅Taoyuanba Leisure Road, you can see Longquan Mountain in the distance from the dam, there are people fishing and camping by the lake, the water area is wide ✅There is an independent big tree in Sancha Lake Pomegranate Island Leisure Villa, giving you a feeling of being isolated from the world. You can camp under the tree and wait for the sunset. ✅Find the dam next to the tea bar and the gravel riverbank, it feels like walking on the seaside. ✅Bai San Road Dam, looking straight ahead from Xunjian Tea Bar, you can see the small orange-roofed house on the dam. ✅The highest point of the observation deck, overlooking the entire dam, it is best to wait until a red car passes by. ✅After returning to the starting point, follow Jiansan Road to the end. The waters are relatively narrow, so I prefer to use a telephoto lens to frame the picture. The edges of the islands are winding and crisscrossed. When taking pictures of the buildings on the opposite side, the mountains are crisscrossed and looming. The nearby buildings are located by the water, and the picture has a stronger sense of story. In general, families with children can choose free camping, families with many elders can book a farm stay, and couples or solo travelers can choose cycling to add points to the fun and photo-taking index.

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!

This is a new attraction in Chengdu's Xindong District near Chengdu Tianfu Airport. It is a new park with many local features. It is not far from Sancha on Metro Line 18 of Tianfu Airport. The night view is also good.

||.🌈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.

|Drive directly to the summer lakeside camping site! . Chengdu 1h | A summer lakeside campsite within driving distance! Does this big tree look like something from a movie? Very healing! ✅Driving in Chengdu city for about 1 hour ✅Broad field of vision ✅Parking 🅿️20 yuan, you can fish in this area🎣 🧭 Navigation of Jianyang Sancha Lake

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...
