Jiuzhaigou is located in a high mountain valley area with a large altitude difference. This geographical feature makes the red leaves alternate between high and low altitudes, forming a landscape with distinct layers and patchwork. The viewing period of red leaves in Jiuzhaigou is relatively long, and the ideal viewing time is usually from October to November. Moreover, the red leaves in Jiuzhaigou cover a large area, and the red leaves and colorful forests complement each other, forming a colorful landscape. The red leaves are not a single red, but include purple, pink, orange, golden and other colors, which complement the clear lakes and green mountains and forests of Jiuzhaigou, forming a flowing picture. This rich combination of colors makes the viewing of red leaves in Jiuzhaigou extremely visually impactful. During the viewing process, tourists can feel the changes in the color and density of the red leaves from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and experience a unique visual enjoyment.

Traveled from Chengdu East Station to Huanglong Juizhai station which took us abt 1 hour. Upon arrival we are greeted by snow falling on us . We skipped the normal bus wait and go directly to Juizhaigou on a chartered cab. The cabbie charged us 65 rmb per pax and he already had 2 customer. It's 4 to go. I think this is faster and not much difference in price as the driver will drop us off at our hotel or the scenic area entrance. Entered the park the next day and I must say that it's so beautiful and relaxing. Was a bit unlucky as the autumn colour's are not fully developed yet. Still it was a wonderful trip

Jiuzhaigou 2-day tour.

Jiuzhaigou 2-day tour.

📍Attraction address: Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area 🚗Attraction transportation: Bus, homestay owner pick-up and drop-off 👍️Must-see attractions: Panda Lake, Wuhua Lake, Pearl Shoal Waterfall, Long Lake, Five-Color Pond, Tiger Lake, Shuanglong Lake, Reed Lake 🎟️Ticket information: Tickets were half price on the first day. There were a lot of people in the morning. We arrived at 9:00 and queued until 10:00 to get in. There were so many people that we were dropped off at the middle line, so we had to queue early. 💗Other tips: I went for two days in a row. On the first day, I went to the middle line and the right side. On the second day, I went to the left line and the middle line. On the first day, we were dropped off at the Shuzheng Lakes on the middle line, and we had to walk to Tiger Lake to take the bus, so we walked and looked around. After taking the bus, we were dropped off on the right side and started playing. We went back after seeing the Luorilang Waterfall at around 4:00 pm. We were a little tired. On the second day, we went directly to the right line. We got off at the next stop after the transfer station and Luorilang Restaurant, and then walked to the opposite side to take the bus back to the transfer station and then to Long Lake. We played all the way down to the transfer station and had lunch. Then we took the bus to Rhino Lake and walked to Reed Lake. The must-see attractions are Panda Lake, Wuhua Lake, Long Lake, Five-Color Pond, and Reed Lake. If you don't want to walk to Reed Lake, get off at the last stop before the exit, and walk back 600 meters to a viewing platform. The scenery is similar to that on the road. After seeing it, walk back to the bus stop. Wear comfortable shoes, as there is a lot of walking. My feet hurt for a few days after I got back.

Winter beaty of Juizhaigou❄️😍❄️

It was the best and the most beautiful Park I've ever seen 😍 Some people would say, that it's not good going there in winter, but I think it's the best time to go! There are less people and the scenery with snowy mountains and party frozen lakes are just unbelievable! It's easy to go around, cause from one spot to another you can always use a hop on bus, so you won't get so tired. Also in the middle on the trail, you can have some rest and eat, or even buy some souvenirs you need around 5h to explore all of the places but honestly you don't need to see every spot, some of the places you can see just through the window 😁 We came to park at 10:00 and left around 16:00 The Park shape is like letter "Y" so first you take a bus to the end of right side, and walk down (or use bus) till the middle then take a bus to the end of left side and do the same Overall it was amazing experience, the best scenery I've seen in my life! #winterwonderland #mountains #china

3 Days 2 Nights Jiuzhaigou-Huanglong Scenic Area Travel Guide

3 Days 2 Nights Jiuzhaigou-Huanglong Scenic Area Travel Guide

Hey guys! Here is a 3-day travel guide for Jiuzhaigou-Huanglong Scenic Area, including all the must-see attractions. Take out your notebook and record this travel secret~ / Must-see attractions: 🏞️Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area: A fairytale-like ink painting unfolds here, with lush forests and streams running through it, like a vivid painting. 🏔️Huanglong Scenic Area: The calcified pools are crystal clear, with gorges and snow-capped mountains, and the waterfall scenery can only be described as infinite. 🐼Dujiangyan China Giant Panda Garden (formerly Panda Paradise): This is a paradise for giant pandas, with swaying bamboo forests and lush green trees. 🏰Songpan Ancient City: An ancient and quiet city, walking among the ancient buildings, the colors of heavy and vicissitudes of history permeate. 🌊Nuorilang Waterfall: The calcified waterfall is spectacular and majestic, with a curtain of water hanging in the air, and the panoramic view is endless, making people feel awe. / 🧣The first thing is to organize your winter clothes. Jiuzhaigou-Huanglong Scenic Area is very cold in December, so remember to bring a thick coat, thermal underwear, scarf, hat, and gloves. 🥾Next is the shoes. Shoes should preferably be non-slip snow boots or hiking shoes with non-slip function, as there is a good chance of snow and icy roads at this time of year. 🎒Next are some essential items: sunscreen, lip balm, thermos, and warm socks. Because this area is located in a high-altitude area, the sun's radiation is strong, and it is easy to sunburn the skin and lips.

Breathtaking Fairyland of China 🇨🇳

#wecreate We've been all around and so far Jiuzhai Valley is one of the best places I have ever visited and seen. The water is serene with majestic mountains that surround the lakes. Whereever you are in China, I suggest that this must be and should be in your list to visit before you leave this country. This place is such a feast in the eyes. So go and experience it yourself. HOW TO GET HERE: 1. Take a long distance bus from Xinnamen Bus Station in Chengdu. It will take you around 8-10 hours travel time and if it is during holiday time then prepare for longer hours on the bus. 2. Take the plane. It will only take you approximately an hour to reach Jiuzhai Huanglong Aiport. Note‼️ 1. If you're weak in dealing with altitude then I suggest you prepare yourself by taking some altitude sickness a week before you explore this fairyland. You have to be in your best health to totally enjoy everything. 2. It is cold there and misty so bring a raincoat and wear comfortable shoes and clothes. #jiuzhaivalley #mytripvlog #tripblazers #nationalpark #explorechina #sichuan

Jiuzhaigou

4D3N Itinerary from Hangzhou!|||Personal Travel Sharing - Easy and Fulfilling! Day 1: ✈️ Fly to Chengdu (Choose Shuangliu Airport, which is closer to the city center) 🏠 Stay near Chunxi Road for convenience (I booked a hotel last minute, not recommended) Itinerary: Chunxi Road - IFS Panda Wall - Taikoo Li - Daci Temple 🍲 Hotpot recommendation: [Houtang Hotpot] Locals also go there, large portions and delicious! (I arrived around noon, adjust according to your arrival time) Day 2: 🌞 Morning: Sleep in and visit Wenshu Monastery, take a photo with "Happiness" (there are photographers on site, you can take Polaroid photos) 🌇 Afternoon: Visit the Giant Panda Base, it's large, wear comfortable shoes (buy tickets in advance!) Bring your ID card 🆔 🌛 Evening: Chengdu East ➡️ Huanglong Jiuzhai [Make sure to book tickets several days in advance, also book return tickets!] (After arriving, I don't recommend taking the bus, the mountain road is dizzying and takes two hours, I recommend carpooling. You can book in advance on your phone or carpool on site. Don't worry, there are many taxi drivers at the station entrance offering carpooling, usually around 60) The hotel I stayed at was nice, good environment, free shuttle bus to Jiuzhaigou entrance in the morning, and shuttle bus back in the afternoon Day 3: Jiuzhaigou (check the weather forecast) Buy tickets in advance on "Aba Tourism Official Account" Bring your ID card to enter the park (Zhejiang residents, most cities can get free tickets, just buy the 80/person shuttle bus ticket, save half the cost!) Travel tips: 🌞 Morning: Arrow Bamboo Lake - Panda Lake - Five Flower Lake - Nuorilang Center Station (there are many food options, you can replenish your energy, a bit expensive) 🌄 Afternoon: Long Lake (highest point) - Colorful Pool - Rhinoceros Lake - Tiger Lake - (Shuzheng Lakes) - (Wolong Lake) - Sparkling Lake - Exit After exiting, carpool to Huanglong Jiuzhai Station/Songpan Station (either is fine: go to whichever you can get tickets for) Usually around 80/person, tell the driver your hotel location, they will take you back to get your luggage, if you're in a hurry for the train, I suggest bringing your luggage in the morning, there are storage lockers at the entrance 🌛 Evening: Huanglong Jiuzhai/Songpan ➡️ Sanxingdui Station Take a taxi to the hotel, the hotel I stayed at was great! Highly recommended! Only 150 for a double bed, very large and upscale! Day 4: 🌞 Morning: Sanxingdui (book tickets in advance) Enter before 12:00 for the morning session There is a QR code for audio guide at the entrance, 20/person, bring headphones 🍚 Noon: Recommended to go to the riverside "Xiangwei Xuan", a local recommended hotpot restaurant (there is a queue during meal times) [You can do it the other way around, buy afternoon session tickets, sleep in and eat first, then visit slowly, there are many taxi drivers at the entrance offering carpooling, if your flight is late, you can carpool to Chunxi Road for a stroll before going to the airport, or pay a bit more to carpool directly to the airport] Last stop: Home❕ ✈️ I still recommend Shuangliu Airport, I suggest carpooling for faster travel (you can book on your phone), public transportation requires transfers and is tiring.

Jiuzhai Valley travel tips.

Jiuzhai Valley travel tips.

Some subjective suggestions for those planning to visit soon I arrived in Jiuzhai Valley on the 19th and checked in, then entered the scenic area on the 20th and 21st 10/20: Cloudy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon 10/21: Sunny in the morning, rain started at 1 pm Jiuzhai Valley is a weather-dependent scenic area The weather forecast before departure was rain on the 20th and 21st In fact, it only rained for a while on the afternoon of the 21st The weather was very good the rest of the time So keep a positive attitude Jiuzhai Valley is beautiful in all seasons Enjoy it 👔 Top: Quick-dry short-sleeve top + fleece jacket + windbreaker Pants: Quick-dry shorts + summer hiking pants Shoes: Thick socks + two pairs of Salomon shoes This outfit should be suitable until it snows The sun is strong in Jiuzhai Valley, so it can be hot on sunny days But it can be a bit cool in the shade, so this is for reference I felt very comfortable PS: Those taking the high-speed train, note that the station is much colder than Jiuzhai Valley! Itinerary I planned a two-day itinerary I wanted to take my time at each spot But I ran out of time and missed three or four spots (Definitely need a second visit) If time, weather, and energy allow, three days is best You can explore all of Jiuzhai Valley The core attraction is the 70+ km scenic boardwalk See the last picture I entered the valley at 8:30 on the first day and 10:00 on the second day. I walked non-stop except for meals, covering over 30 km in two days Some views are only visible from the boardwalk, and it may close in bad weather, so choose based on your own conditions I highly recommend going up to the primeval forest and walking down This boardwalk is amazing If you only have one day, plan ahead and decide which spots to visit Even if you rush, you can't see everything in one day (Avoid getting on at the central station, it wastes time and is crowded) 🍜 Have breakfast at the hotel before heading out Prices in the scenic area are reasonable, with restaurants and food streets, so travel light Opinions on Jiuzhai Valley vary, often compared to other places. To me, it's simply beautiful. Its beauty can't be captured by a camera. I'll definitely visit again. I hope you like Jiuzhai Valley too, and that this content helps you.
