[2025 Jiuzhaigou Attraction] Travel Guide for Changhai (Updated Apr)

Jiuzhaigou May Day Travel Guide: A Poetic Encounter of Nature and Culture —A Seasoned Traveler's Secret Itinerary and Warm-Hearted Tips I. Pre-Trip Preparations: Ensuring a Smooth Journey 1. New Transportation Options: High-Speed Rail for Time-Saving and Convenience The Sichuan-Qinghai High-Speed Railway opened in 2025. Departing from Chengdu East Station, the fastest train takes only 3 hours to reach Jiuzhaigou Station, eliminating the previous 8-hour bumpy ride. The high-speed rail station also offers a "three-ticket-in-one" service (high-speed rail ticket + shuttle bus ticket + scenic spot ticket), providing seamless transfers for an effortless start to your journey. Tip: High-speed rail tickets need to be booked 15 days in advance. It is recommended to choose an early train to avoid peak crowds and start your Jiuzhaigou tour in the afternoon. 2. Tickets and Accommodation: Book Early for Peace of Mind Jiuzhaigou implements a real-name reservation system with a daily limit of 30,000 visitors. It is recommended to book tickets 7 days in advance through the official website or platforms like Trip.com (tickets are CNY 220/person, half price for ages 60-64). Accommodation Recommendations: Near the Scenic Area: Hotels at the entrance (such as Shuzheng Qunhai Hotel, approx. CNY 300/night) are convenient for entering the park early the next day. Tibetan Experience: Tibetan homestays (such as Tibetan guesthouses in Zhangzha Town) offer an authentic experience with yak butter tea and stories by the fire pit. 3. Packing List: Pack Light, but Be Prepared Essential Items: Windbreaker (large temperature difference between day and night), sunscreen (strong UV rays on the plateau), portable oxygen bottle (to prevent altitude sickness), and rain gear (frequent showers in spring). II. Itinerary: Balancing Exploration and Relaxation Day 1: Chengdu—Jiuzhaigou (3 hours by high-speed rail) Afternoon Arrival: Check in to a hotel at the entrance. In the evening, stroll to the "Jiuzhaigou Eternal Love" scenic area and watch Tibetan and Qiang song and dance performances (tickets approx. CNY 260) for an immersive experience of ethnic culture. Dinner Recommendation: Tibetan Yak Hot Pot (recommended "Zha Tibet Restaurant"), paired with highland barley wine, is both warming and satisfying. Day 2: Full-Day Exploration of Jiuzhaigou's Core Scenic Area Enter the park at 6:30 am: Avoid the crowds and head straight to Mirror Lake to capture the "reflection of snow-capped mountains." At this time, the lake surface is like a mirror, with stunning light and shadow effects. Highlights: 1. Shuzheng Lakes: Stroll along the boardwalk and admire the emerald-green lakes, strung together like a necklace. 2. Nuorilang Waterfall: The water volume is abundant during May Day, creating a magnificent spectacle. 3. Five Flower Lake: The lake water shimmers with interwoven blue and green hues under the afternoon sun, resembling a painter's palette. 4. Long Lake: Sit by the lake and enjoy the tranquility at an altitude of 3,100 meters. Lunch: Buffet restaurant inside the scenic area (approx. CNY 60/person). Tibetan yogurt and highland barley cakes are recommended. Day 3: Day Trip to Huanglong Scenic Area (Optional) Transportation: Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong is about a 2-hour drive. Charter a car or join a group tour (local day trips are approx. CNY 400/person). Must-See Attractions: Five-Color Pool (calcified pool group) and Huanglong Temple. Taking the cable car uphill and walking downhill is recommended. Dinner: Return to Jiuzhaigou County and try the "Wild Mushroom Feast." The matsutake stewed chicken is exceptionally delicious. Day 4: Exploring Tibetan Villages and Cultural Experiences Morning: Visit Zhongcha Tibetan Village, participate in making tsampa, learn Tibetan songs, and chat with locals around the fire pit. Afternoon: Free time. Cycling or hiking along less-traveled routes outside Jiuzhaigou (such as Jiawuhai Panda Park) is recommended, offering a chance to encounter pandas leisurely munching on bamboo. Day 5: Return Trip and Chengdu Food Finale High-speed rail back to Chengdu: In the afternoon, explore Kuanzhai Alley and buy Zhang Fei Beef and Shu embroidery as souvenirs. Ultimate Hot Pot Feast: "Piaoxiang Hot Pot," a local favorite, is a must-try. Don't miss the tripe and duck blood for a spicy and satisfying experience. III. Travel Experience: Adding Warmth to Your Journey Making Friends with Locals: When visiting a Tibetan home, offer to help make yak butter tea, and the host may gift you a handmade Tibetan silver ornament as a souvenir. If you encounter a festival, you might be invited to join in a Guozhuang dance. Don't be shy; participation is the best form of respect. IV. Pitfalls to Avoid: Lessons Learned from a Seasoned Traveler Avoiding Crowds: The first scenic area bus departs at 8:30 am. It is recommended to tour against the flow: visit Long Lake first, then gradually descend to Shuzheng Lakes. Shopping with Caution: The authenticity of yak jerky sold outside the scenic area varies. "Aba Air-Dried Yak Jerky," a time-honored brand from Songpan, is recommended, and they offer delivery service. Environmental Responsibility: Drones are prohibited in Jiuzhaigou, and trash cans are sparsely distributed. Carry a trash bag with you to protect this wonderland. V. Budget Estimate (5 days, 4 nights) Independent Travel: Approx. CNY 2,500 per person (including high-speed rail, accommodation, tickets, and meals). Group Tour: Pure play group tours cost CNY 1,000-1,500 per person, offering good value and no shopping traps. 🌸The beauty of Jiuzhaigou lies half in its landscapes and half in its people. Although May Day is a peak season, as long as you travel off-peak and experience it with an open heart, you can still find your own poetic corner in this "Earthly Paradise." May your camera capture not only the crystal-clear lakes but also the smiles of Tibetan grandmothers and the warm encounters along the way.🌼

🎈August Jiuzhaigou trip This trip to Jiuzhaigou is a double feast for the eyes and the soul. Jiuzhaigou in August is in the middle of summer, but it is pleasantly cool due to the high altitude. The rippling Wuhua Lake and Changhai Lake are like emeralds inlaid in the valley. The water is crystal clear and colorful, showing breathtaking fantasy colors as the sunlight and angle change. Walking along the lakeside, every breath is fresh air, which seems to wash away the dust of the city and allow the soul to be completely liberated. 🏃😁 🎈Weather Tips Daytime: Sunny around 10-25C At night: Be sure to keep warm, dress at around -5-6℃ at night: the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so bring a jacket/thick coat😄 🎈 Tickets: 190 Sightseeing bus: 90 Free admission for seniors over 60 years old Free admission for children under 6 years old/under 1.2 meters tall ! Students, military personnel, disabled people, etc. can enjoy preferential ticket policies😊, 🎈【Play Suggestions】 Peak season route (recommended): Take a sightseeing bus at the mouth of the ditch → Wuhuahai Pearl Beach/Waterfall → Mirror Lake → Nuorilang Central Station - Changhai - Wuchi → Have lunch at Nuorilang Central Station → Primeval Forest → Grass Lake → Swan Lake → Arrow Bamboo Lake → Panda Lake/Waterfall → Nuorilang Waterfall - Rhinoceros Lake → Tiger Lake → Shuzheng Waterfall/Qunhai → Wolong Lake/Spark Lake - Reed Sea → Bonsai Beach → Exit the ditch. 🎈【Notes】!!! 1. Although there are many people in the peak season, Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has strong diversion capabilities, so there is no need to worry about crowds or queues. 2. When you arrive at a scenic spot in the morning, don’t spend too much time in one scenic spot just because it’s new. Arrange your time reasonably and don’t walk if you can take a car. 3. The weather in the plateau is changeable. The weather forecast said it would rain, but it was sunny when we arrived. The weather forecast is for reference only. You still need to bring rain gear. 👍 4. Be sure to wear sun protection, especially the back of your neck, as this area is particularly prone to sunburn. Be sure to wear a sun hat with a top, as your scalp can easily get sunburned. 5. It’s normal for Jiuzhaigou to rain from time to time, but it’s sunny most of the time, and the scenery is really beautiful now😊 6. If you want to take a photo with the scenery but don’t find a good angle, you can bring a reflector, and the face will be softer and brighter😄 7. There are stalls renting Tibetan costumes for photo shooting in Wuhua Lake and Shuzheng Qunhai. Remember to bargain boldly, or ask more questions. Compare prices from three different stores so as not to spend too much. 8. Be careful when buying jade and medicinal materials in the Tibetan villages in Jiuzhaigou. Remember this!

⛱️Tour: There are too many beautiful spots in Jiuzhaigou, either you take a quick look and check in, or you go in and play for two days, or you painfully give up a few unimportant spots! Otherwise, you will miss the key views like us! 🕘9 o'clock: Depart from the hotel and walk for about ten minutes to the main gate of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. 🕤9.40: Take the bus to Changhai and Wuhuachi. Jiuzhaigou is in the shape of a Y (P8), and the bus will randomly pull to one side of the Y. 🕧11.40: We didn't go to the transfer station for lunch, we went directly to the other end of the Y by car. At this time! If UU only has one day to play, you can get off the bus when you get to Wuhua Sea! Then look down all the way to see Pearl Beach, Mirror Sea, Nuorilang Waterfall, Shuzheng Waterfall, etc. We followed the principle of 'since we are here', got off the bus at Jianzhu Sea, and it was already past four o'clock when we played to Mirror Sea. 🕔5 o'clock: Take the bus to Reed Sea. I was attracted by the Reed Sea when I entered the scenic area, and I said that I must go and see before the sun goes down. But there is no stop at the Reed Sea, you need to walk about 45 minutes after getting off at Huohai Sea. So we gave up the Shuzheng Waterfall and Shuzheng Group Sea, which are said to be the most interesting in Jiuzhaigou, and rushed to Reed Sea. 🕕6 o'clock: When we arrived at Reed Sea, the sun was gone. Although it is not as lively as when the sun shines on the sea when entering the scenic area, there are not many tourists 'grabbing the scenery' at this time. 🕖7 o'clock: Leave the scenic area. I have been to Jiuzhaigou once before, knowing that it is very beautiful and can play all day. But I didn't expect that I didn't have enough fun from getting up at 7 o'clock to returning to the hotel at 9 o'clock, but my calves were sore for several days after walking all day. 🏠Accommodation: There are many hotels near the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, with off-season prices around 200. There is also accommodation in the scenic area, so you can play inside for two days.

🌳 Walking into Jiuzhaigou is like stepping into a fairyland As soon as you enter the Nuorilang Scenic Area, you will be shocked by the beautiful scenery before your eyes! 🌄🌲 Jinghai Lake is like a bright mirror, embedded between the emerald green valleys. 🏞️ The lake is wide, surrounded by cliffs, and the water is crystal clear, just like heaven. 🌈 💃 Recommended attractions: There are many attractions in Jiuzhaigou, the most famous of which are Wuhua Lake, Changhai Lake, Panda Lake, Pearl Beach Waterfall, etc. These attractions are very beautiful and worth seeing. 💃 🐟 The secret world at the bottom of the lake The lake is between 10 and 20 meters deep and the water is so clean that you can see green algae dancing in the water and fish swimming freely at the bottom. 🐟 The reflections of the trees by the lake and the clouds in the sky are clearly reflected on the lake, as if the scenery between the water and the land are blended together, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. 🌌 🌳 Pearl Beach: A masterpiece of nature Leaving Jinghai Lake and continuing forward, you will arrive at Pearl Beach. On this calcified gently sloping mudflat, water flows freely, forming countless tiny water droplets that fall like strings of pearls. 🌊 In May, strolling along Pearl Beach, with the rolling mist under your feet, passing through the blooming azaleas, and listening to the rustling sound of the willows swaying in the wind, you feel as if you are in a fairyland. 🌸 🌳 Wuhua Lake: a colorful painting Wuhua Lake is one of the main attractions of Jiuzhaigou. The lake is wide and green algae and moss grow very lushly. 🌿 As the seasons change, the color of the lake also changes, like a colorful painting. 🎨 When the red leaves in autumn surround the lake and are reflected on the lake surface, they look like burning flames, which is breathtakingly beautiful. 🍂 🌳 Explore more of Jiuzhaigou Going up the mountain along the road near Wuhua Lake, you will encounter Xiong Lake and another unknown beautiful lake. 🏞️ Every lake has its own unique charm, and every corner can bring you different surprises. 😮 🚩Best season: The best season to travel to Jiuzhaigou is autumn. September to October is the most beautiful time, with the mountains covered with colorful red leaves, which is very suitable for taking photos. However, Jiuzhaigou has different beautiful scenery in each season and is worth a visit in every season. 🚩 🏨Accommodation: There are many accommodation options in Jiuzhaigou, and you can choose according to your budget and needs. If you want to travel conveniently, it is recommended to choose a hotel or B&B near Mizoguchi. 🏨 🚌Transportation: The transportation in Jiuzhaigou is relatively convenient, and you can choose to go there by plane, car, etc. There are direct buses from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou, or you can choose to drive there yourself. 🚌 🎉Note: Jiuzhaigou is at a relatively high altitude, so it is recommended to take preventive measures against altitude sickness in advance. At the same time, the weather in Jiuzhaigou is changeable, so it is recommended to bring rain gear and warm clothes. 🎉 Jiuzhaigou is a place worth visiting again and again, where you will have new discoveries and be moved every time. 💖🌄

Chengdu travel guide! Those planning a trip to Chengdu during the holidays, pay attention! Chengdu, a city of exceptional charm, is more than just a testament to the rapid development of modern technology. Wandering through its streets and alleys, you'll feel as if you're traveling through time, touching the distant and profound historical and cultural veins of ancient Shu, Yin, Western Zhou, and Qin dynasties. The mystique of the ancient Shu civilization, the unique charm of the Yin and Shang periods, the etiquette of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the grandeur of the Qin Dynasty have all left their mark on this city, waiting for every visitor to explore and experience. ## Travel Preparations ### Documents Documents are essential when traveling. Your ID card is a crucial identification document needed for transportation, hotel check-in, and entering certain scenic spots. Don't forget your student ID or other discount cards, which can save you money on entrance fees and transportation if you meet the eligibility criteria. ### Electronic Devices In this digital age, electronic devices have become an indispensable part of our lives. Mobile phones are essential for communication, navigation, and capturing memorable moments. Chargers and power banks ensure your phone stays fully charged so you don't miss anything exciting. Headphones allow you to enjoy your own music world during the trip, isolating you from the outside noise. Cameras are the best travel companions, allowing you to capture every beautiful scene in Chengdu and create lasting memories. ### Toiletries Skincare is essential even when traveling. Skincare products keep your skin hydrated, facial wipes are convenient and hygienic, makeup remover thoroughly cleanses your face, sunscreen protects your skin from UV damage, and facial cleanser keeps your face refreshed and clean. Bring these toiletries to maintain a healthy routine during your trip. ### Clothing Chengdu's weather is unpredictable, so sun-protective clothing is a must-have for travel. It protects you from the sun and provides warmth when the weather is slightly cool. Short sleeves are suitable for hot weather, keeping you cool and comfortable. Slippers are perfect for relaxing in the hotel, and a change of clothes ensures you have clean clothes every day. ### Medicine It's common to encounter minor health issues during travel. Motion sickness medication can alleviate discomfort during the journey, cold medicine can address potential cold symptoms, anti-inflammatory medicine can treat minor inflammations, and heatstroke prevention medicine protects your health in hot weather. ## Travel Tips ### Plan Your Trip Detailed planning is essential before any trip, just like a battle plan before a war. Without a plan, it's easy to encounter problems during the trip, such as missing the best time to visit popular attractions or choosing unsuitable restaurants. Gather information through the Internet, travel books, and friend recommendations to create a personalized travel plan. ### Book Flights/Train Tickets Chengdu is a popular tourist destination, especially during peak seasons, when flights and train tickets are in high demand. Book in advance to avoid delays. Check the official websites of major airlines and railway departments for ticket information and potential discounts. ### Book Accommodation Booking accommodation in advance is crucial for a Chengdu trip. While Chengdu has abundant hotel resources, they can be scarce during peak seasons. Choose a hotel that suits your budget and preferences, ideally located near transportation and attractions for convenient travel. ### Check the Weather Check the real-time weather forecast before your trip and pack accordingly. Chengdu's weather can change dramatically, from sunny one day to rainy the next. Being prepared ensures a more comfortable trip. ### Pre-Departure Check Before leaving, carefully check if doors and windows are locked, take out the trash, and turn off the power at home. This ensures home safety and avoids unnecessary waste. ## Five-Day, Four-Night Chengdu Itinerary ### Day 1: Chengdu Airport/Station Pickup - Hotel Check-in After arriving in Chengdu, check in to your hotel and take a good rest to recover from the journey. If you have energy, visit the Wuhou Shrine and Jinli Ancient Street. Wuhou Shrine is dedicated to Zhuge Liang, where you can experience the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms period and appreciate Zhuge Liang's wisdom and loyalty. Jinli Ancient Street is full of Chengdu's characteristic cuisine and traditional culture. Strolling along the ancient street, tasting various delicacies, and experiencing Chengdu's slow-paced life, you'll feel as if time has slowed down. ### Day 2: Chengdu - Huanglong Scenic Area - Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Scenic Area is a rare natural calcium deposit museum, known as a "world wonder" and a "fairyland on earth." The colorful calcified pools resemble gems embedded in the earth, shimmering under the sunlight. The journey from Huanglong Scenic Area to Jiuzhaigou offers breathtaking scenery, building anticipation for Jiuzhaigou. ### Day 3: Full-Day Jiuzhaigou Tour Jiuzhaigou's beauty is intoxicating. The deep tranquility of Long Lake, the vibrant colors of Five Flower Lake, the majestic Nuorilang Waterfall, the colorful Five Color Pond, the crystal-clear Rhinoceros Lake, and the mysterious Tiger Lake—each spot is like a beautiful painting. The magical Jiuzhaigou, known as a "fairytale world" and the "king of waterscapes," showcases nature's wonders, transporting you to a dreamlike world. ### Day 4: Jiuzhaigou - Chengdu On the way back to Chengdu from Jiuzhaigou, you'll pass through Chuanzhusi Town and Tibetan villages, which have the most distinctive Tibetan characteristics. Here, you can experience the unique local customs and admire the Tibetan and Qiang dwellings along the way, as if entering the Tibetan Plateau.

Family, it's so stunning! This isn't Mount Fuji, but Jiuzhai Valley in March! They say April is the most beautiful month, but Jiuzhai Valley, located in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan, welcomes the revival of all things as early as March! With only a 20-day flowering period, this time is truly the most breathtaking time of year in Jiuzhai Valley. Visiting Jiuzhai Valley in March, you can see peach blossoms, snow-capped mountains, and blue lakes, with a romantic pink atmosphere everywhere! The flowering period in Jiuzhai Valley lasts from early March to April. In early March, the peach blossoms are still buds, hidden among the branches. By mid-March, the peach blossoms officially bloom, but they haven't fully bloomed yet. Late March is the peak flowering season, and Jiuzhai Valley looks like a pink fairy tale world. In early April, the peach blossoms gradually fall, the ice and snow begin to melt, and spring officially arrives. However, note that the flowering period is predicted based on previous years' blooming times, and the actual blooming time may vary due to altitude and other factors. • Attractions: ◦ Shuzheng Lakes: Composed of 19 lakes of varying sizes, these lakes are arranged at different heights, forming a series of beautiful waterfalls. Surrounded by dense forests, peach blossoms bloom beside the lakes in March, complementing the emerald green lake water and azure sky, creating a charming scene. ◦ Rhino Lake: The second largest lake in Jiuzhai Valley, it has a wide surface, deep water, and clear quality. When sunlight shines on the lake, it shimmers, and the blooming peach blossoms on the shore reflect in the water, creating a dreamlike scene. ◦ Reed Lake: A semi-marshland lake, large areas of reeds sway in the wind, full of vitality. Walking along the boardwalk, with blooming peach blossoms on both sides, it feels like being in a sea of pink flowers. ◦ Long Lake: The highest and widest lake in Jiuzhai Valley, its water is dark blue. The snow-capped mountains opposite stand majestically, and on sunny days, the full view of the snow mountains reflects in the lake, echoing the peach blossoms on the shore, resembling a fairyland. • Tickets: Jiuzhai Valley ticket prices vary between peak and off-season. March is the off-season, and ticket prices are generally CNY 80/person, and sightseeing bus tickets are CNY 90/person. Peak season ticket prices will increase. Check the latest prices on the official public account or major travel platforms before traveling. • Best travel route: After entering the scenic area in the morning, first take the sightseeing bus to Long Lake to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the snow-capped mountains and lake, and take photos. Then go to Five Flower Lake to experience the beauty of the colorful lake water. Then take the sightseeing bus to Shuzheng Lakes, stroll among the lakes, and enjoy the peach blossoms and waterfalls. Afterwards, go to Rhino Lake and walk along the lakeside boardwalk to admire the reflection of the peach blossoms. Finally, go to Reed Lake and feel the breath of spring in the flower-filled boardwalk. • Best photo spots: ◦ By the Shuzheng Lakes waterfall: With the waterfall and peach blossoms as the background, the photos taken have both dynamic beauty and a romantic atmosphere. ◦ Lakeside of Rhino Lake: Sitting on the rocks by the lake, with the lake surface and the reflection of peach blossoms as the background, the portrait photos taken are incredibly beautiful. ◦ Center of the Reed Lake boardwalk: Standing in the middle of the boardwalk, with blooming peach blossoms on both sides, the photos taken are full of spring atmosphere. ◦ Long Lake viewing platform: You can capture Long Lake, snow-capped mountains, and peach blossoms in one frame, and the panoramic photos taken are very impressive. • Precautions: ◦ Jiuzhai Valley has a high altitude, and altitude sickness may occur. Take precautions in advance and avoid strenuous exercise. ◦ Smoking is strictly prohibited in the scenic area. Protect the environment and do not litter. ◦ The temperature difference between day and night in Jiuzhai Valley in March is large. Bring warm clothing, such as down jackets and thick coats. ◦ Pay attention to safety when taking photos. Do not approach dangerous areas in order to find angles. • Local specialties: ◦ Yak beef hot pot: Made with local yak beef, the meat is tender and nutritious. After being cooked in a hot pot, the soup is delicious and flavorful. Served with various vegetables, it is both filling and warming. ◦ Barley cakes: Made with barley flour, they have a crispy texture and a light wheat aroma. They can be eaten as snacks or with butter tea. ◦ Tibetan butter tea: A traditional drink of the Tibetan people, it is made with butter, tea leaves, and salt. It has a rich flavor, refreshes the mind, and helps to withstand the cold of the plateau.

🚄Transportation (Plenty of time, super smooth trip) 🎈High-speed rail: Depart from Chengdu East at 15:45 pm on February 16 and arrive at Huanglong Jiuzhaigou at 17:30. 🎈Direct Train (Round Trip): 🎈After getting off the HSR, you can see the bus when you go upstairs at the exit. I booked the direct train to pick up the station at 18:00 and the bus was right on the exit outdoor elevator. The driver will send you a text message in advance to let you know the license plate number. If you find the car, you can get on directly. In good weather, the drive takes about 2 hours, with a stop almost halfway through at a stop for everyone to go to the bathroom. 🎈 On the way back, we walked 15 minutes to the nearby Xingyu station to get on the bus, the drive is also about 2 hours. We bought tickets for the HSR at 20:30 and if the weather was good, we could board the train after waiting almost 1 hour after arriving at the HSR station. 💡When booking a direct train, be sure to read the instructions carefully. Getting off will be divided into several stops. 🏨Accommodation I ordered Hanting (visitor center store). The hotel equipment and front desk service were average, the bedding was not ideal, there was some lint and hair, and it was still there after changing rooms with the front desk. The overall value for money is not great, however it is still acceptable for just one night. The bathroom does not have a top spray, but the shower open to see is still quite clean, specific feelings vary from person to person. 🍱Food chapter 🎈The night before: I randomly found a small stir-fry shop near the hotel, the taste is average, after all, near the scenic spot, it is normal. You can also order takeaway here. There are many choices. You can first locate the scenic spot to see which takeaways are available. 🎈Breakfast: If you have hotel breakfast, you can skip it. We went to the entrance of the scenic spot to eat noodles. The price is rather expensive, but the taste is still good. 🎈Day trip lunch in the ditch: solved at the tourist transfer station in the scenic area. Here is a little suggestion, don't rush to the restaurant, there is also a mini shopping mall opposite the restaurant, which contains some franchise stores, we found out after eating the restaurant, that the loss is big! 🎈From the hotel to the entrance of Jiuzhaigou: No need to rush to make an appointment, no need to worry about not being able to call. Early in the morning there will be many taxis in front of the hotel, crowded carpooling is very cheap, we 4 people take a taxi only 15 dollars (some drivers will bid 20 dollars, can talk about the price), from the hotel to the scenic spot door less than 10 minutes, very convenient. 🎉Playing Episode Arrive at the scenic spot at 10 am, swipe your documents to enter and then line up directly to wait for the bus, and leave when you are full. Upon arrival at the transfer station they will be asked if they are getting off, visitors who do not get off are assigned to the left or right lanes by dispatch. Our tour route is as follows: 🎈Left line: Changhai - Wucai Pond Playing time: around 10:40 - around 13:00, then return to the transit station for dinner. The views of Changhai (p2) and Wucai Pond (p1) are really beautiful, you must check in. 🎈Right line: Arrow Bamboo Sea - Five Flowers Sea - Mirror Sea Play time: 14:00 - 15:40 or so, after the tour directly take the car back to the door. The sea of ​​arrows and bamboos (p3), the sea of ​​​​five flowers (I can't remember which one the specific photo is), and the sea of ​​​​mirrors (p6) each have their own characteristics and are intoxicating.

Who said that Jiuzhaigou has few people in the off-season? There are still many people taking photos at Wuhua Lake and Wucai Pool. If you are going to Jiuzhaigou, remember to book the tickets for the scenic spot in advance~ --- ⚠️Experience 1: The left and right lanes are randomly assigned. When taking the scenic sightseeing bus, sit on the same side as the driver for a better viewing experience ⚠️Experience 2: Enter the park early, try to visit the attractions on the left and right lines in the morning and noon, and save the afternoon for the middle line ⚠️Experience 3: There is no need to bring too much food. There is a food court in the center of Norilang where you can eat.

There are places to get hot water in the scenic area. ⚠️Experience 5: There is heavy fog in the mountains, so the weather forecast is generally not very accurate. It may still be sunny if it says it will rain. If the temperature drops suddenly, the chance of snowing is very high. ⚠️Experience 6: One-day tour is not recommended for elderly and children. After the tour, the number of steps is basically more than 20,000, and people will be exhausted 😭 ⚠️Experience 7: The mountain roads in western Sichuan are winding, the road conditions are complicated, and the roads are narrow. If you have limited driving experience, please do not challenge it, it is dangerous! . ❄ Jiuzhaigou must-see attractions & tour duration: 📍Wuhua Lake: It is recommended to stay for about 1 hour. It is so beautiful under the sun and it will be a great photo! 📍Changhai: 30 minutes is enough for the tour.

It is worthy of being a popular tourist attraction, it is so beautiful! 20-30 minutes tour . 🎯 Route reference: D1: Chengdu/Shuangliu Airport Pickup - Dujiangyan - Panda Valley - Wenchuan - Pansong Ancient Town - Jiuzhaigou D2: Full day tour of Jiuzhaigou D3: Jiuzhaigou-Huanglong/Shenxianchi-Diexi Lake-Qiang Ancient City-Chengdu . 🙋‍♀️Sisters who are traveling with the elderly/children find it troublesome to make travel guides, book hotels, and arrange travel by themselves.
