The weather in Shifang Red Canyon

How can you be worthy of not playing with water? The sun will explode when it comes out, and it will suffocate the hot weather if it doesn't come out. Before you decide on your itinerary, Xiao Y recommends several good places around Chengdu, where you can go to play in the water in summer.

1. Huanglongxi Ancient Town

The ancient town of Huanglongxi on the southwest edge of Shuangliu District in Chengdu is naturally the first choice in summer, at the intersection of Luxi River and Jinjiang, opposite to Zhenjiang Temple in Huanglongxi. In summer, the sea of joy here, men, women and children go into battle together, pick up "weapons" and start work, which is completely the Chengdu version of the Water-splashing Festival.

2. Jiangkou Ancient Town

Not far from Huanglongxi, it is the estuary. Recently, the excavation of Zhang Shenyin caused a fire here. In fact, it is still a beautiful riverside town.

As an important terminal on the Minjiang River, it is full of humanistic color. Without too much development, most of the original appearance of Linjiang ancient town has been preserved. Here, we can feel the prosperity of the boat crossing on the Minjiang River and the charm of the folk houses in western Sichuan dozens or hundreds of years ago.

3. Black Dragon Beach

Known as "the back garden of Chengdu" and "the first sea in western Sichuan". Black Dragon Beach has always been an important place for everyone to escape the summer, and the road that has been bathed in the river wind is always so comfortable. The 72 islands in the lake have their own characteristics, and the water is rippling and intoxicating.

4. Wulong Valley

In summer, the popularity here began to soar, and the river here is relatively wide, so swimming here is more enjoyable. When you are tired of swimming, sit in the shade by the lake, drink some ice water and lie down with your eyes narrowed. I feel nothing.

Located at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain in Dujiangyan, Wang is a niche attraction for many people, and also a rare summer resort and water resort. Here, the river is gurgling and there are many animals and plants, which is always ten degrees lower than the city temperature. The clear river is not deep, and the deepest part does not reach the waist. It's a paradise to play with water.
