Guang’an boasts an extensive highway network. Both the total mileage and average density of highways within its territory exceed the national average and the average level of Sichuan Province. The Guang’an–Linshui section of the Guang’an–Chongqing Expressway is open to traffic, and all remaining sections were fully completed before 2004. It takes only one hour to drive from Guang’an to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, enabling seamless connections with air transport. After the Guang’an–Nanchong section of the Shanghai–Chengdu Expressway opened to traffic in 2004, the drive from Guang’an to Chengdu was shortened to merely 2.5 hours. The planned Nanchong–Chongqing Expressway will pass through Wusheng County. Once completed, every county, city and district under Guang’an will be connected to the national expressway network, and Guang’an will be fully integrated into the Chengdu–Chongqing–Shanghai tourism economic belt.

Three national highways (G210, G212, G320) pass through Guang’an, alongside four provincial highways including the Shizhu–Nanchong Line, as well as two county-level highways: Yuechi–Wusheng Road and Guang’an–Wusheng Road. Interlaced national, provincial and county highways form a "three horizontal, four vertical" transportation framework centered on railways and highways.

Qiandao Honghu Lake is located about 15 kilometers within the territory of Jiulong Town, Lijia Township and Changtan Township, Linshui County, Guang’an City, Sichuan Province. The lake stretches 26 kilometers in total, covering an area of 25,000 mu with a total water storage capacity of 368 million cubic meters.

Endowed with abundant aquatic resources, it is a well-known aquatic product base in Sichuan. The eastern bank is home to Huangcaoping Forest Farm. Carved into the stone cliffs on the left bank is Wuliang Temple, which was specially conferred by Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty when he took refuge in Linshui. Thirteen groups of cliff stone carvings still survive near the temple.

In Lanmashi Village, Liangshan Township at the northeastern inlet of the Great Honghu Lake lies the Well Yuesi, a hot spring borehole discovered by the East Sichuan Oil Drilling Team during natural gas exploitation in the winter of 1988.
