Wild and romantic, there are various campsites around Chengdu, so you can escape from the city now! Part 2: Sea and Forest

❀Sea View Camping | Go to the lakeside if the sea is in Chengdu

 

Sancha Lake: There is no sea in Chengdu, so go camping by a lake pretending to have a sea view~

In fact, regarding this sea view camping wish list, I had thought about flying to the real seaside without taking the equipment with me, but the camping equipment was really complicated and heavy. Later I thought I might as well forget it and find a lake nearby.

This was the cheapest camping trip, costing a total of 25 yuan. This is either a campground or on Sancha Lake. There are hundreds of small islands on the entire Sancha Lake. You can directly find a boatman on the shore and go to the island to choose from.

There are various small islands, some are suitable for fishing and some are suitable for family fun. We chose a place called [Eucalyptus Island] this time.

Although it was a Friday, there were very few people there, and everyone tacitly agreed to choose an island to serve as the owner of the island. The joy of taking over an island by one person is probably this.

I set off from Chengdu city after get off work on Friday and arrived in a little more than 1 hour. I looked for the port to go to the island along the way and put all the equipment on a small trailer. After all, it is inconvenient to go back and forth to the island by boat to pick up things. It is best to Pack it all at once.

When we boarded the boat and set off, we felt happy. The sky was still bright, so we quickly set up the canopy and tent. Watching the sunset by the lake, my plan to escape the city after get off work on Friday.

In the evening, I lit a bonfire by the lake, drank beer, and ate my own barbecue. Two or three friends chatted.

This was the second time I camped out overnight after camping in the snowy mountains, and it was another camping place without a place to wash. However, the weather around Chengdu was very stable this time. I brought my own water, so simple washing was still possible.

I fell asleep quickly, and there was no disturbing wind at night. Everything was very peaceful, neither cold nor hot, and I slept pretty well. At 5 o'clock in the morning, opened the tent and took a look. It turned out that the sky was already a little bright.

There seems to be a glimmer of morning light in the distance, it feels like the direction of the sunrise.

The color of the sky began to change in various ways, from purple light (looking like the sunset) slowly rising, and later turning into orange, the whole world began to wake up little by little.

Every time I open the tent, the view makes me feel that this world is worth living.

The morning light is shining slightly by the lake, making yourself a cup of hot chocolate. The wind in the morning is light, I feel that life is going well like this.

If the water quality were cleaner, we could go swimming together.

Note: Be sure to remember the name of the island you choose when you go to the island, because the boatman will pick up more than just you. If you forget the name of the island, it will be difficult to pick you up the next day. Remember!

❀Forest camping | Staying in a cabin in the forest

 

This camping trip was about 2h away from Chengdu. It has three campsites, one focusing on rafting, one focusing on tents and B&Bs, and one focusing on forest cabins. I really like that campsite with a forest atmosphere.

In fact, camping in the forest creek, which meets all my fantasies, should be suitable for rainy days. It feels very romantic just thinking about it.

This kind of independent tent is really great. You can be alone in a jungle, accompanied by your favorite flowers, and you can even hear the chirping of insects when people are quiet at night.

The light of the setting sun hits the triangular top of the white tent, giving it a high-end feel like the Twilight Zone.

The large dense woods make it feel like living in a cabin in the forest, and you can also see the vague night view of the city. At night, it seems like you can encounter fireflies while walking through this jungle. The trees in the forest are so tall that the tops cannot be seen, completely blocking out the heat. Refreshing and cool~

However, this place is not very friendly to people who bring their own equipment. I feel that the area provided for campers is not very good. Small houses have been built at several spots with very good views. So this is a good place if you happen to have no equipment.

This kind of small villa is in good condition, with air conditioning and electricity, but it just lacks some outdoor feeling.

Walking in the mountains after sunset, I came across a lotus pond. The lotus flowers were still blooming beautifully at the end of summer.

The view from this room is really excellent. The glass room is so transparent that it feels great to overlook the panoramic view at night. There is a breeze and it is comfortable.

The scenery at the camp is also good, with rivers and mountains overlooking the county seat.
At night there are some faint city lights The light is also very beautiful.

I particularly like the layers of mountains, especially the green vegetation on the flat layer , which feels like grassland growing on the mountains.
