Lately, the "Erhai" in Xi'an has been getting a lot of attention~
After getting off the plane, I dragged my suitcase ๐งณ straight to Kunming Pool
Just in time for sunset ๐
The scenery was truly beautiful, every photo I took looked amazing ๐ธ
As someone from the western suburbs who visits Kunming Pool 30 times a year~
๐กHere are some tips for everyone:
1โฃ Kunming Pool is divided into Phase 1 and Phase 2
โ
Phase 2: Xi'an Erhai, Blue Whale Beach are all here, you can also camp by the water, set up tents โบ, tarps, and use portable stoves ๐. The only downside is that there are a lot of campers, so itโs hard to find a spot if you arrive lateโ๏ธ
โ
Phase 1: Has a huge lawn, ๐ for camping, frisbee ๐ฅ, and a commercial street area. There is a dedicated parking lot.
2โฃ Secret navigation locations
โ
Phase 2: Navigate to "PetroChina Xi'an Haojing Gas Station," park by the roadside, then walk 20 meters uphill on a dirt road to reach the lakeside camping area~ You can even bring a camper van ๐
โ
Phase 1: There are 4 parking lots, navigate to "Kunming Pool Qixi Park Parking Lot 1/2," which is the main entrance with the Emperor Han Wudi statue and large lawn, but it tends to get congested on weekends. You can also navigate to "Parking Lot 4"โ๏ธ Thereโs also a large lawn ๐ for camping, fewer people, and itโs closer to the Petting Zoo ๐ฟ! There is also a lakeside camping area~
3โฃ Blue Whale Beach ๐ฌ
If you want to bring kids to play in the water and dig in the sand ๐ฆ, you can come here. You can also watch the sunset ๐. Navigate to "PetroChina Haojing Gas Station," then walk 15 minutes along the lakeside to get there~
I really recommend Kunming Pool to every worker in Xi'an. The breeze by the lake is so relaxing ๐ฟ. This time I got the new DULA suitcase ๐งณ, which looks great and is very photogenic. ๐ The best surprise is the side hook for bags, hidden phone stand, and foldable multifunctional cup holder ๐ง, which is really practical! I call it the "waiting-for-the-bus binge-watching gadget." With Type-C + USB dual charging ports, no need to worry about your phone running out of battery ๐ชซ. Paired with the storage bag, it compresses down and can hold so much!
