Accommodation and Itinerary Suggestions * **Accommodation Suggested:** The chosen accommodation was the Banshanhai Jiuzhaigou Secret Realm in Heyezhai within the scenic area. We entered the park early, took a sightseeing bus directly to the top of Rize Valley, and visited Changhai Lake and Five-Colored Pool from top to bottom. At noon, we went to Nuorilang, and in the afternoon, we visited Nuorilang Waterfall, Shuzheng Lakes, and Bonsai Stalls in Shuzheng Valley before returning to the guesthouse to rest. The next day, we explored the right-hand route of the primeval forest, allowing for leisurely photography. The guesthouse's decor and design were excellent, with a bonfire in the courtyard at night, creating a wonderful atmosphere. They contacted us in advance to pick up and drop off our luggage, allowing us to enter the park with minimal luggage. No additional tickets were needed the next day, and our luggage was already in our room when we returned to the guesthouse. The accommodation experience was fantastic! IV. Practical Tips * **Transportation:** Take the high-speed train from Chengdu to Huanglong Jiuzhaigou (approximately 2 hours), then take a bus to Jiuzhaigou (approximately 2 hours). The entire journey takes about 4 hours. * **Tickets must be checked before 2 PM on the day of arrival.
