Xin Long is a stop worth making a special stop in the heart of Khamba. One day, between Cuoka Lake and Yixi Monastery, encounter the unique atmosphere of Xin Long.
The first impression of the new dragon is almost always from Cuoka Lake. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.
When it comes to Xinlong, locals usually first mention Yixi Temple. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but the entrance to an entire section of life.
The Yalong River hides another side of Xinlong. With less crowding from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become one of the people here.
If you have the energy, go explore the canyon. There's no standard answer there, only your own rhythm, perfectly filling your itinerary.
Xinlong taught me one thing: you don't have to chase every sight, just like Cuoka Lake taught me—the best scenery is always where you're willing to stop and look carefully.
