Xichang, a touch of autumn in winter

The Xichang red sequoias are mainly distributed around Qionghai Lake and are a popular winter check-in spot. Here is a viewing guide: - Best viewing time: The leaves of the Xichang red sequoias gradually turn red from November to December, with mid to late November through early December being the best viewing period. - Viewing locations: Near the small fishing village in the Qionghai Dream Water Town Scenic Area is a popular spot to see the red sequoias. You can park your car directly at the entrance of the small fishing village and then walk in. Alternatively, navigate to the Fishing Platform by Qionghai Lake; enter from the entrance and turn right about 100 meters to see a large area of red sequoias. - Photography tips: It is recommended to visit after 9 a.m. to take advantage of sunlight for softer lighting and better photo effects. The red sequoias complement Qionghai Lake beautifully; you can use the lake as a background to capture reflections or photograph people strolling or sitting quietly among the red sequoias for a very atmospheric scene. - Surrounding facilities: There are parking lots around the scenic area, some of which charge fees. Nearby, there are also some snack stalls and farmhouses, convenient for visitors to recharge. In addition, the environment around Qionghai Lake is beautiful and suitable for camping. Bring a tent and picnic mat to enjoy a relaxing leisure time. Accommodation recommendation — Guomai Jin Waitan City Life Hotel
