When you get to the Nuorilang Restaurant, there are two routes, 📍the first one leads to Changhai, 📍the second one leads to the Primeval Forest. The sightseeing bus should go straight to the top of the mountain and then play down slowly. You can choose to walk🚌. The sightseeing bus in the scenic area is a bit like a city bus, with stops at all the important scenic spots. 📍It's worth noting that there's no stop at the Reed Sea, but the scenery is very beautiful, and if time permits, it's recommended to visit🤟

Jiuzhaigou Travel Guide
⛱️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.

The rime in the Yichun Kuerbin Rime Scenic Area, when the sun shines through the morning mist into the forest, the ice and snow on the tree will emit a crystal light, a unique world, and it feels worth the hardship of coming.

九寨沟 (JiuZhaiGou) Mythical Valley
The trip to JiuZhaiGou Scenic and Historic Interest Area was a magical and unforgettable experience. We started off from the city of 成都 (Chengdu) where we took an 8 hour bus ride from the 新南门车站 (New South Gate Bus Station). On the way there, we were treated to a mix of Chinese and Tibetian landscape with deep valleys and Buddhist temples adorning the side of the road.
When we got to the scenic area, clear blue skys and imposong snow-capped mountains greeted us. The alpine scent of towering evergreens mingles with the crisp mountain air enveloping the senses. The sight of pure, glacial streams and crystal clear lakes reflecting the natural landscape paints a picturesque masterpiece. Making for a truly unforgettable trip.
I reccomend you allocate at least 2 days to explore the region as you can also visit 黄龙 (HuangLong) situated nearby which boasts of colorful travertine pools. There are also many small places of interest nearby that you may want to allocated an additional day to visiting. You should also account for the time spent travelling by bus as the ride will take up a full day (2 days total to and fro). If you wish to save time, flying directly to the airport at JiuZhaiGou is an option you can take.
Lastly, I wish you safe travels and I hope you enjoy your trip to the Mysterious Valley JiuZhaiGou!
Lakes EVERY shade of blue and turquoise!!
Jiuzhaigou Valley scenic area, 🚩north Sichuan province in the beautiful Aba mountains ⛰ There is clear water and there is Jiuzhaigou pristine turquoise water 🏞.

M.O.T.A.S around the world Jiuzhaigou— the ultimate dreamland of China ✨
It’s a fairytale setting. The tranquil nature, the crystal clear turquoise and emerald color lakes, waterfalls and the lush greenery make it an ultimate dreamland landscape.🪽🦄🪽 Perhaps it’s the most beautiful place in China. It’s full of nature, each corner of this valley is a scenic spot. 🤩💕📸
There are 108 lakes in Jiuzhaigou. The beautiful colors of these lakes are due to ferns that grow in the water. It’s an UNESCO site due to its diverse forrest ecosystem, its superb landscape and spectacular waterfalls. Around 140 bird species also inhabit the valley, as well as a number of endangered plant and animals, including the giant panda.🐼
I spent 3 days there. For an in depth exploration it requires one week or so.
Getting There - either by bus/car or flight from Chengdu. I took the flight as it’s time efficient.
Attractions - Jiuzhaigou national park
Hotels - there are many options. I stayed in Hilton garden due to its location.
Food & Restaurants - try Tibetan hotpot in the Indigo hotel restaurant
Shopping - Not many options. Some small local shops are there.
Check in at the beautiful and mysterious Jiuzhaigou.
🗺️Route
First of all, let's take a look at the route. If you haven't booked a tour group yet, I personally recommend independent travel. If you depart from Chengdu, you can take a bus or a plane to Jiuzhaigou County, and then take a tourist bus to Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area.
📝Guide
Next, let's take a look at the travel guide for Jiuzhaigou. First of all, every morning at the entrance of the scenic area, there will be a performance of traditional Chinese music played by "Muyuge", which is very pleasant to listen to and is a must-see opening program! After entering the scenic area, lazy people are recommended to take the sightseeing car to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way; those who love sports can choose to walk, passing through waterfalls, lakes, and ponds, and experiencing the natural scenery that has not been disinfected; if you have strong physical strength, you can run all the way and reach the Daughter River Grassland in half an hour, enjoying the feeling of being bathed in sunlight and surrounded by the fragrance of flowers!
The scenic area has about three designated routes, and it is recommended that you choose according to your own time and physical strength. The green and beautiful Dui Long line can lead you to the essence of the landscape, with attractions such as Pearl Beach, Five-Flower Lake, and Shuzheng Group Peaks; the blue Changhai line is suitable for early morning, where you can see the perfect sunrise and the original tranquility; the yellow Jiuzhaigou line is a hand-pushed cart line, especially suitable for lazy people and photography enthusiasts. 🚴♀️
It is worth mentioning that when visiting the scenic area, be sure to bring a large water bottle! The water source in the scenic area is very clean, and there is running water at the source, which is cool and sweet, especially suitable for summer drinking.
📷📸In addition to enjoying the natural scenery, leaving a mark of travel is also essential. As a recommendation from me, at Five-Flower Lake, you can capture the beautiful scenery of "one flower, one lake, one sky". In addition, there are high mountains, steep ridges, glassy sea, and bushes that can showcase your photography skills!
Finally, there will be some local delicacies such as scallion pancakes, fermented bean curd, and stinky tofu in the ditch! If you are a foodie, you can prepare in advance!
In short, every corner of Jiuzhaigou is worth a visit. If you haven't planned your travel itinerary for this vacation yet, it is recommended to add Jiuzhaigou to it, you won't regret it.
The bluest waters in the world are in China!
This week, I immersed myself in some of China’s most beautiful and natural national parks.
Jiuzhaigou national park struck me as particularly outstanding. The crystal clear, fairytale-like blue and green waters, as well as the surrounding forest ecosystems, make it a dream destination for peaceful and relaxing vacations. On a good day in spring or fall, you can also see snow mountains rising from the background.
Aside from beautiful mountains, there also a variety of waterfalls and narrow conic karst land forms.
There is also unique wildlife in the area, with 140 bird species as well a number of endangered animals such as the Sichuan giant panda.
Most of these photos have little to no editing which goes to show how picturesque and instagramable the surroundings are!
Do check out this place if you are in the Sichuan area! It is fully open to tourists now.

The exotic beauty of Jiuzaigou
#celebratewithtrip
Very very incredible scenery that really make me speechless. A recommended place to visit.
The beauty of Jiuzhaigou
Jiuzhaigou is amazing! You see landscapes likes this on TV but to actually witness it, was a dream come true! We started our journey with a bus ride to the very top and walked all the way back down visiting all of the spots. This scenic area takes an entire day, with waterfalls and lakes to see. But plan on bringing your own food/ drinks. The park does not have any food available, but there are vending machines filled with drinks.
We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. This hotel is approximately 5-10 minutes drive to the scenic spot. The service was really good, but if you have allergies like I do, don’t stay here. The room has so much dust, that I had itchy eyes and sinus infection every time I entered the room until I left.

Jiuzhaigou - Disney World in Nature
Getting There - Jiuzhaigou National Park is between 7 and 9 hours north of Chengdu by intercity bus or shared taxi. Many busses leave from 茶店子客运站, in the northwest of Chengdu, throughout the morning. You may also book a shared van from the same location. Prices for the bus range from 168 RMB to 300 RMB. Busses will stop for lunch and bathroom breaks.
The shared van option may be slightly faster and will take you directly to your hotel, but also costs slightly more at 198 RMB; however, a shared lunch of multiple dishes is included.
Drivers on the mountain roads are erratic and often times dangerous, so be prepared for a rollercoaster of a ride.
Regardless of which option you choose plan to leave between 8 AM and 9 AM and to arrive in the early evening.
There is also the option of flying from Chengdu in 1 hour, but the airport in Jiuzhaigou is still at least an hour from the park entrance and will cost much more. Check Trip or Ctrip for the best rates.
Starting in the fall of 2022, there will be a fast train operating from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou that will cut transportation times considerably to only a few hours.
Hotels - You will want to stay near the park entrance for convenience, arrive early, and to maximize your time in the park. There are many guesthouses to choose from, most within 10-15 minutes walk to the entrance.
Currently there is no accommodation in the park, but there are a few villages and construction projects that appear as though they could, or will someday, offer various options.
Attractions - Visiting Jiuzhaigou is extremely expensive, 280 RMB per person, with no option of buying a multiday ticket. If planning to visit multiple days, as many blogs suggest, expect to pay.
It would be advisable to start early so you can cover as much of the park as possible in one day, which is doable, but have a plan beforehand to limit wasted time.
The park receives thousands of tourists a day, upwards of 15,000 to 20,000. It will feel a bit like Disney World in nature with the obligatory busses that whisk patrons around the park and boardwalk trails everywhere, often patrolled by security to ensure guests remain on designated trails.
Many areas are blocked to tourists, which seems wasteful to have built the trail that nobody can use. Seemingly to keep tourists corralled and controlled. Even areas that are open to tourists are often blocked in the early afternoon to keep walkers moving towards the exit.
This doesn't seem to bother most as they aren't there to walk long distances, but instead to hop on and off busses to see the main attractions.
If wanting to avoid crowds plan to hike as much as possible and go to areas that the masses of people won't arrive until later in the afternoon, as you are moving on to areas they previously visited. No matter what you do it will be inevitable that hundreds of people will be nearby.
Picturesque Jiuzhaigou
Spectacular view and easy on the eye especially for landscape photographer! It’s finally fully opens after years of post-earthquake restoration since the huge 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck the county.
Location - Jiuzhaigou County, Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan, China 62340
Highlights - Five-Flower Lake(Wuhua Lake), Five-Colored Pond(Wucai Pond), Pearl Shoel Waterfall, Panda Lake (basically the whole scenic area)
Rating - 4.8/5
