The taste is super delicious. You must come to Jiuzhaigou to eat it.
I came here for the yak hotpot, which is a restaurant near Jiuzhaigou with good reviews. After trying it, I confirmed that it was really delicious. The yak meat is also the tenderest I have eaten recently. The owner specifically told me not to cook it for too long, and it can be eaten when it changes color. The basic color is that it looks half-cooked, but it tastes completely acceptable. It is so fragrant with chili powder! ! Yak baked cake 🥞 I rarely hold on to staple foods, but I ate three sprouts of this cake in a row. I ate it while it was hot. The hot cake skin was a little crispy, and the beef was lean but not dry and very fragrant. I must try it I thought the Tibetan bibimbap was similar to stone pot bibimbap before, but I found it was completely different after taking a bite. The taste is similar to rice bowl, fried rice, etc., but the rice is chewy and not sticky but fragrant Hand-pulled lamb, hahahaha [laughing and crying] I really want to recommend it to my friends who go there again. You will know whether your teeth are good or not after eating it. My teammates and I picked our teeth all night! ! #美食旬味会 #Local food #Hotpot that you have to queue for #Local special snacks #Jiuzhaigou travel guide
Jiuzhaigou Autumn Deep Dive Travel Guide: The Right Way to Experience This Fairyland "After seeing Jiuzhaigou, no other water scenery compares," and autumn in Jiuzhaigou takes this dynamism and splendor to its extreme. From mid-October to early November, the colorful forests and lakes create a picturesque scene, with snow-capped peaks sketching sharp lines against the azure sky. A gentle breeze scatters the lake water like starlight, a breathtaking spectacle that far surpasses the capabilities of a camera lens. This guide of just over a thousand words will help you precisely capture the autumn charm of Jiuzhaigou. Pre-trip Essentials: Time and Transportation Tips The beauty of Jiuzhaigou in autumn has a strict "peak season." Mid-to-late October is the golden period, as maple and birch leaves gradually change from orange-yellow to fiery red, reflected in the lakes like a natural oil painting. In early November, although some leaves have fallen, the lakes become even more translucent, adding a touch of poetry. To avoid crowds, it is recommended to travel on weekdays, as weekend visitor numbers increase by more than 30%. Transportation options are available upon request: Direct flights to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Airport, followed by a 1.5-hour airport shuttle bus ride to the scenic area; for visitors from Chengdu, the high-speed rail to Huanglong Jiuzhaigou Station takes only 2 hours, from where you can transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus; for those driving, the Rongchang Expressway is recommended, a 7-hour drive, but during peak season, arrive before 8:00 AM to secure parking. The scenic area uses a "ticket + sightseeing bus" package, approximately 280 RMB per person, requiring advance booking via the "Aba Tourism Website" with real-name registration. Core Routes: One-Day Highlights and Two-Day Leisurely Tours 1. One-Day Highlights Tour (Efficient Checklist) - 7:30-9:30 Secure a prime spot in Rize Valley: Arrive at the scenic area before 6:30 AM to queue, and board the sightseeing bus first after the park opens at 7:30 AM. If the bus initially heads to the left, you can disembark midway and transfer to the right route, heading straight to Five-Flower Lake—at this time, with fewer people and less wind, the lake's reflection of the colorful forest is a true "Jiuzhaigou icon." Walk to Pearl Shoal Waterfall to watch the rushing water carrying fallen leaves; this is also a filming location for *Journey to the West*. - 10:00-13:00 Off-peak sightseeing and lunch: Arrive at Mirror Lake before 10:00 AM. When there's no wind, the lake surface is like a mirror, perfectly reflecting the snow-capped peaks and colorful forests on the shore. Afterwards, head to Nuorilang Center. It's recommended to bring your own snacks and eat with hot water to save time and money. - 13:30-15:30 Quick tour of Zechawa Valley: Take a sightseeing bus to Changhai Lake. Around 1:00 PM, the sunlight makes the lake surface shimmer, making it the best time to view it. Walk 10 minutes to Five-Colored Pool. Although not large, the travertine pools have a great sense of layering as the light changes. - 16:00-17:30 Stroll through Shuzheng Valley: Starting from Nuorilang Waterfall, hike from Rhinoceros Lake to Shuzheng Lakes. This route is less crowded, allowing you to appreciate the dynamic interconnection of lakes. Finally, the journey concludes with a drive through the reed marshes, where golden reeds reflect in the clear water. 2. Two-Day Slow Travel (In-Depth Experience) The first day follows the essential route through Rize Valley and Zechawa Valley. The second day focuses on a deeper exploration of Shuzheng Valley. In the morning, experience Tibetan culture at Shuzheng Village and hike to Shuzheng Waterfall to see the cascading water. In the afternoon, visit Tiger Lake, where the evening light is perfect for capturing the silhouettes of the colorful forest. If time permits, consider visiting Fairy Pool; the travertine dragon-shaped landscape of Qinglong Lake is a hidden gem. Accommodation and Dining Guide: Value for Money and Flavor Accommodation options include two categories: For convenience, choose Zhangzha Town at the entrance of the valley. Guesthouses in Pengfeng Village are a 10-minute walk from the scenic area, with standard rooms with underfloor heating costing 80-150 yuan per night. For value, stay in Chuanzhusi Town, where you can enjoy branded hotels for around 500 yuan. Although slightly further from the scenic area, these hotels offer excellent facilities at affordable prices. For a luxurious experience, consider the Ritz-Carlton Risai Valley, with balconies offering stunning autumn views of the snow-capped mountains. For culinary delights, try the Tibetan and Qiang cuisine: Kawanjin's signature Tibetan hot pot is generously portioned and flavorful; the yak meat soup at Xiangtu Sichuan Restaurant is tender and juicy; and the cured pork with walnut blossoms at Tibetan-style restaurants is worth a try. After your meal, enjoy a bowl of Tibetan yogurt with honey to cleanse your palate and whet your appetite. Tips and Tips: Experienced Travelers' Advice - Avoid peak times for photography: The crowds at Five Flower Lake and Five Color Pool surge after 10 am, so it's recommended to arrive early or in the afternoon. When taking photos on the boardwalk, choose a side-view angle to avoid being in the crowd. - Dress appropriately for the temperature difference: The temperature difference between day and night in Jiuzhaigou in autumn can reach 15°C. Bring a windproof jacket and a light sweater, and wear non-slip sneakers to protect against the dew on the boardwalk. - Tips for saving energy: The sightseeing bus allows for easy hop-on and hop-off. Those with limited stamina can skip the primeval forest and start their tour directly from Arrow Bamboo Lake. Explore the central route after 3 PM when crowds thin out and the light is softer. Autumn in Jiuzhaigou is a symphony of nature, composed by colorful forests, lakes, and snow-capped peaks. Following this guide will allow you to capture wallpaper-worthy scenery while avoiding the crowds. After all, the autumn colors here are fleeting and precious; miss it, and you'll have to wait another year. #JiuzhaigouTravelGuide #JiuzhaigouFairylandScenery #Jiuzhaigou #JiuzhaigouTravel #JiuzhaigouFairyland

1. Jiuzhaigou Fairy tales aren't from books; they're Jiuzhaigou in late September. The lake's waters are so clear they echo your heartbeat. The blues, greens, oranges, and reds look like layers of paint. The colorful forest casts its shadows into the water. The emerald sea, cascading waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks all fit into the frame, creating a desktop with a single click. • How to visit? The sightseeing bus takes you straight to Changhai Lake, then "slides" down the plank road—the Five-Colored Pool, Nuorilang Center, Nuorilang Waterfall, Pearl Beach Waterfall, Five-Colored Lake... strung together like pearls on a string, all the way back to the main gate. • Where to sleep? Hotels are lined up at the entrance of the valley. For pampering, choose the Conrad Jiuzhaigou or the Luneng Hilton. For a truly pampered stay, choose the lavishly appointed Jiuzhaigou Conrad or the Luneng Hilton. Their amenities will transport you back to nature in seconds. • What to eat? Bubbling Tibetan hot pot, butter tea topped with milk skin, and slightly puffed barley cakes—all the specialities of Kawanjin Tibetan cuisine are available all at once, ensuring a feast for your taste buds. ---- 2. Miyaluo This 300-square-kilometer canyon, known as "China's Largest Red Leaf Zone," is lit up by sweetgum and birch trees from late September to mid-October, transforming the entire valley into a flaming mountain. Driving through it is like entering a moving oil painting. • Lightweight Miyaluo Town → Red Leaf Canyon → Qiang Village → River Valley Meadows: an 8-kilometer return trip, with a "red leaf tunnel" overhead stretching all the way to dawn. • Advanced Siboguo Village → Prayer Flag Viewing Platform → Three-Family Cabin → Snow Mountain Platform: a 10-kilometer round trip, allowing you to experience all four seasons in one day: colorful forests at the foot of the mountain, foggy mountainside, and snowy peaks. • Where to Soak? Gulugou in Li County is packed with hot spring hotels, and the Ramada by Wyndham directly features the "springs" to make the red leaves even crimsoner. • What to Eat? Sergu Tibetan Village B&B: butter tea and barley cakes are standard.

Daocheng Yading Ading in October redefined the meaning of "humanity." The three sacred mountains illuminate under the blue sky, the meadows spread like a golden carpet, and the Milk Sea and the Five-Colored Sea sparkle like two gems chased by the sun.

Black Bear Valley and Xianglu Mountain were shrouded in fog, creating a soft-focus filter over the colorful forests, so enchanting that I dared not speak loudly. • How to Visit? Take a bus to Black Bear Valley, then transfer to the cable car directly to Xianglu Mountain. The densest patch of red leaves is right below your feet, and once the fog settles, it becomes a "celestial palace." • Where to Sleep? The Nanjiang Jinjiang Hotel is well-equipped, and Tianyue Xilton offers its own laundry and a superb breakfast, making it ideal for those with lazy stomachs. • What to Eat? Guangwu Mountain's aged bacon is air-dried until it releases oil, and Nanjiang's yellow sheep soup is stewed to a creamy white.

Siguniang Mountain In autumn in Shuangqiao Valley, the colorful forests are like layers of cake, the snow-capped mountains are topped with cream, and the yaks are sprinkled with chocolate chips. Photographers, cameras in hand, will go crazy. • How to Visit? The sightseeing bus is like a Didi, stopping on demand—take epic road photos at Potala Peak, crouch at Sigunacuo with the snow-capped mountains reflected in your eyes, and pose however you like. • Where to stay? From Siguniang Mountain Town, Yaomei Peak is visible from the top. Jiarong Mountain Villa is a breathtaking view, and you'll be awakened by the snow-capped mountains in the morning. • What to eat? Yak beef is stewed to tender perfection, and the wild mushroom soup pot is incredibly delicious. Small restaurants in town serve mountain produce directly to the table, and every bite is filled with the "wildness" of the plateau. #MyCityDragonBoatRace #SonglikeJourney #TheMostComed-On WeChat Moments #Mid-AutumnFestival andNationalDayTravelCheck-In #NationalDayTravelBizarreRewards

Small restaurants in town serve mountain produce directly to the table, and every bite is filled with the "wildness" of the plateau. #MyCityDragonBoatRace #SonglikeJourney #TheMostComed-On WeChat Moments #Mid-AutumnFestival andNationalDayTravelCheck-In #NationalDayTravelBizarreRewards
