Introduction: Why Dayang Fishing Pond Became My New Favorite in Chengdu
As a passionate angler living in Chengdu, I’ve spent years chasing the perfect fishing spot—one that balances clean water, accessible location, and a relaxing atmosphere. Most spots I’ve visited either felt overcrowded, had muddy terrain, or lacked basic amenities. That’s why when I heard about Dayang Fishing Pond’s grand opening in June, I was immediately intrigued. After visiting during their soft launch, I’m confident this has become my go-to spot for weekend fishing sessions. Let me walk you through why it’s a game-changer for Chengdu’s fishing community.
Location & Accessibility: Smooth Sailing to the Pond
Dayang Fishing Pond is tucked away in Jingshan Village, Yong’an Town, Shuangliu District, Chengdu—a prime location that’s easy to reach by car or public transport. The address is clear: No. 10, Group 1, Jingshan Village, Yong’an Town, Shuangliu District. For drivers, the 200 designated parking spaces are a lifesaver. No more circling for spots or worrying about street parking; just pull in, park, and walk straight to the pond. If you’re taking public transit, buses run near Yong’an Town, and a short taxi ride from the station gets you there. The rural setting is peaceful, yet you’re still within Chengdu’s urban outskirts, making it a quick escape from the city buzz.
Facilities & Environment: A Refreshing New Setup
What Makes Dayang’s Renovation Special
Three months of meticulous renovation paid off in spades. The pond spans 50 acres total, with two distinct sections: Pond 1 (18 acres, 2.5 meters deep) and Pond 2 (17 acres, fully hardened). The “newly built” label isn’t just marketing—fresh water, crisp surroundings, and brand-new equipment are evident everywhere. The hardened second pond is a standout feature: smooth, mud-free surfaces mean no more soggy boots or slippery algae. Whether you’re wading, setting up a chair, or moving between spots, you can move freely without getting stuck. The landscaping is understated but charming, with shaded areas, clean benches, and minimal distractions. It feels less like a commercial venue and more like a friendly neighborhood spot.
Fishing Experience: From Newbies to Pros
My visit was a mix of relaxation and excitement. The “new fish” stocking post-renovation ensures lively populations, and I caught crucian carp, small catfish, and even a few tench during my two-hour session. The key here is the balance: beginners won’t feel overwhelmed, and pros will appreciate the varied terrain. Pond 1’s depth is perfect for larger species like grass carp, while Pond 2’s compact size holds more active, schooled fish. The staff was incredibly helpful, offering tips on bait (they recommended using corn kernels for carp) and pointing out hidden hot spots. No jargon, just practical advice. Whether you’re solo or with a group, the space feels roomy enough to spread out without bumping into others—a rarity in crowded urban fishing spots.
Pricing & Opening Deals: Value for Your Cast
At 398 RMB for 6 hours of fishing, Dayang offers competitive pricing compared to older, less maintained spots. The cost includes access to both ponds, basic amenities like restrooms, and the peace of mind that comes with clean water. What really sweetens the deal? The opening period (starting June 9th) includes special promotions. While details vary, keep an eye on their official social media pages for early-bird discounts, free bait samples, or even group packages. For a day of fishing that won’t break the bank and delivers top-tier experience, this is a steal.
Final Thoughts: A Must-Add to Your Fishing Calendar
After spending a morning at Dayang, I left with a newfound respect for Chengdu’s hidden gems. The pond’s renovation, attention to detail, and friendly atmosphere make it stand out. Whether you’re tired of the usual crowded spots, a beginner looking for guidance, or just want a peaceful day outdoors, this is the spot. The clean water, smooth terrain, and helpful staff turn a regular fishing trip into a mini-adventure. If you’re in Chengdu and craving a change from city life, grab your gear and head to Dayang. Trust me, you won’t regret upgrading from your old muddy spot to this fresh, welcoming haven.
