The most beautiful place I've ever seen

Jiuzhaigou is located in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is famous for "You won't want to see water after visiting Jiuzhaigou" and is a world natural heritage and national nature reserve. The following is a detailed travel guide to help you plan your trip efficiently: 🚗Transportation ✈️Plane: Fly directly from Chengdu/Chongqing/Xi'an and other cities to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Airport (about 1.5 hours), and then take the airport bus (1.5 hours) to the scenic area. 🚌Bus: Chengdu Chadianzi/Xinnanmen Station directly to Jiuzhaigou (8-10 hours, ticket price is about 150 yuan). 🚙Self-driving: Depart from Chengdu via G213/G247. The road conditions are good but there are many mountainous roads. New drivers are advised to be cautious. 🚖Charter/carpooling: suitable for multiple people, with strong flexibility. 🌹Tickets and transportation within the scenic area 🎫Tickets: 169 yuan/person in peak season (April-November), 80 yuan/person in off-season; sightseeing bus ticket 90 yuan (must be purchased, unlimited rides in the scenic area). 🍁Reservation: Make a reservation in advance on the official website or "Aba Tourism Network". The flow is limited during the peak season. 🕙Opening hours: 7:00-17:00 in peak season, 8:00-16:00 in off-season ✅Must-see attractions 🌿Wuhua Lake: The lake is colorful, and the best photo spot is the Tiger Mouth Observation Deck. 🌱Changhai: The largest lake in Jiuzhaigou, with beautiful snow scenery in winter. Wucai Pond: The smallest lake, but the one with the brightest colors. 🍀Norilang Waterfall: China's widest travertine waterfall, spectacular in summer and an ice waterfall in winter. ☘️Shuzheng Lake Group: It consists of 19 lakes, and the hiking experience on the plank road is excellent. 🏨Accommodation suggestions ●Near the gully entrance (Zhangza Town): convenient for entering the gully early the next morning. There are a variety of high-end, medium-end and low-end hotels (the five-star Jiuzhai Paradise InterContinental or economy inn are recommended). ● Accommodation in the ditch: Officially prohibited, but some collectors operate secretly and need to contact in advance (you can save the next day's ticket, but the conditions are simple). ●Peak season tips: Book one month in advance, the room rate may triple during National Day/Mid-Autumn Festival. 📝Notes ①Altitude sickness: Jiuzhaigou is 2000-3000 meters above sea level. Generally, there is no altitude sickness, but avoid strenuous exercise. ② Weather and clothing: There is a big temperature difference between day and night, so you need a coat in summer and a down jacket in winter; bring rain gear in the rainy season. ③ Environmental protection: Smoking and littering are prohibited. Violators will be fined starting from 500 yuan. ④ Food: There is only a restaurant in the Nuorilang Center in the scenic area (buffet 60 yuan/person), so it is recommended to bring your own dry food. ⑤Safety: The plank road is slippery, please wear non-slip shoes; do not go near the water or climb over the guardrail. 👉Recommended nearby tours ◆Huanglong Scenic Area: 100 kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou, famous for its travertine pools (requires a separate day to visit). ◆Zuoergai Grassland: Summer flower sea and the first bend of the Yellow River (suitable for chartering a car). ◆Songpan Ancient Town: A Tibetan and Qiang cultural town worth visiting on the way. ❤️Travel Tips ✨Photography: The reflection of Mirror Lake is most beautiful in the early morning when there is no wind, and take photos of Wuhua Lake in the afternoon with the sun shining. ✨Avoid the crowds: Enter the park with the first batch (7:00) or visit after 3 pm. ✨Cultural experience: Visit the Tibetan homes in Shuzheng Village and try highland barley wine and butter tea. Plan your trip in advance, the beauty of Jiuzhaigou in all four seasons will surely make your trip worthwhile! If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask~
