A Winter Encounter with the Redwood Forest in Xichang’s Little Fishing Village: Blending the Gentleness of Qionghai into the Caramel Color of the Redwoods

While the northern cold wind knocks snowflakes against the window, southern Xichang turns winter into a warm caramel latte🍂! Friends, stop hiding in your rooms scrolling on your phones—this winter, you must head to Xichang’s Little Fishing Village—the redwood forest by Qionghai is gathering all the romance of autumn and winter, waiting for you to join a gentle date~ Who can resist the redwood forest in winter🌲! Walking along the Qionghai boardwalk toward the Little Fishing Village, just around the bend, your eyes are embraced by a vast redwood forest~ Unlike the lush green of summer, the winter redwoods seem painted by nature’s palette, from pale yellow to caramel red to deep brown, layers of warm tones making Qionghai’s winter soft and healing💛. Sunlight filters through the redwood branches, scattering like golden fragments on the boardwalk. Stepping on the thick fallen leaves, the “crunch crunch” sound is a unique, soothing white noise of winter🎵. Look closely, friends, the redwood needles still hold tiny dewdrops. When the wind blows, the droplets fall gently, touching hair strands and clothing edges, cool but not cold, adding a lively touch🌤️. The redwoods by the water are especially photogenic, with thick trunks rooted in the shallows and reddish-brown branches reflected in Qionghai’s blue waves—half on land, half in water, like stepping into a fairy tale secret realm🍁. Whether you take panoramic shots from the boardwalk, close-ups under the redwoods, or just casually capture the moment when the wind stirs the leaves, no need to pose deliberately—every frame is beautiful enough to save and revisit in your album📸! After a day of exploring, choosing the right accommodation ensures your trip’s joy isn’t compromised😌! Here’s a real recommendation: Xichang Lihao Holiday Hotel—truly a “magical resting spot” for traveling in Xichang! The hotel is located in the heart of Xichang city, making it super convenient whether you want to visit the Little Fishing Village redwoods, Qionghai Wetland Park, or check out Jianchang Ancient City🚗! For those driving, no worries—the hotel offers free parking, so no stress about finding a spot or paying fees. Park your car and head out to have fun with ease~ Even better, the area around the hotel is full of hidden gem eateries🍢! Just a few steps away, you can enjoy authentic Xichang firepot barbecue, sizzling pork belly wrapped in lettuce, finger-licking delicious; plus local specialties like Qionghai drunken shrimp, Xichang rolled rice noodles, and fermented tofu. No need to travel far—after visiting the redwoods, just head downstairs to savor the local flavors. This is what travel should feel like✨! The hotel rooms are spacious and cozy, with warm air conditioning and soft big beds. After a day in the redwoods, a hot shower and snuggling under the covers while scrolling through your beautiful photos will fill you with happiness💤! Actually, the Little Fishing Village redwoods show different beauties at different times🌅. In the early morning, the redwoods are wrapped in light mist, and Qionghai’s surface is like a mirror, the redwood reflections swaying like a hazy ink painting; the afternoon sun is strongest, making the redwoods’ colors most vivid. Sitting on a bench by the boardwalk, basking in the sun and watching fishing boats slowly glide across Qionghai, time seems to slow down; at dusk, the redwoods are bathed in warm orange, echoing the sunset sky. Snap a photo casually, and your social media likes will double💖! Friends can bring some snacks, sit on the lawn by the redwoods, enjoy the sun, have a bite, feel the Qionghai breeze, and listen to local aunties chatting. No need to rush or chase sights—just slowly savor this winter relaxation🍪. If you’re lucky, you might meet an old man feeding seagulls by the lake. Redwoods, Qionghai, seagulls, sunset—all together create the most vivid winter scene~ This winter, don’t let busyness steal life’s romance❄️! Friends, pack your bags, bring your favorite outfits, and head to the redwood forest in Xichang’s Little Fishing Village~ Leave your worries in the Qionghai breeze, capture romance in the redwoods’ light and shadow, rest at Xichang Lihao Holiday Hotel when tired, and feast on the nearby delicacies. Let this winter encounter with Xichang be the warmest little joy at the end of the year~
