Beach Hotels & Resorts in Chengdu from AU$67

Chengdu and its attractions for beach lovers

While Chengdu is renowned for its rich culture and historic sites, it doesn't boast beachfront properties typical of coastal cities. Nonetheless, adventurous travellers can enjoy the nearby Qinglong Lake, where charming sandy shores offer a serene escape for families. Here, you can enjoy water sports like paddleboarding or simply relax by the lakeside, soaking up the sun. The Chengdu Ocean Park is another must-visit, featuring an impressive array of marine life, where children can marvel at the underwater performances and interactive exhibits. For a unique experience, consider a day trip to the scenic Emei Mountain, where the lush landscapes and refreshing waterfalls provide a perfect picnic spot, reminiscent of a beachside experience. The Jinli Ancient Street is perfect for leisurely strolls, where you can savour local snacks and shop for unique souvenirs, akin to a vibrant seaside market. While Chengdu lacks direct beach hotels, consider finding a luxury hotel in the city centre, where you can enjoy high-end amenities and then venture out to these nearby gems, ensuring both comfort and adventure for your family.
