If you go to Jiuzhaigou, you must go to Huanglong. In fact, Huanglong is only more than an hour away from Jiuzhaigou, nearly two hours is very convenient. Then the altitude of Huanglong is slightly higher, so you should take a car up and then slowly come down. Be sure to pay attention not to do strenuous exercise, but most people have no problem, and they will not be overly impressed by the entire scenic area, which is still very large and magnificent. If you bring some drones, the photos and scenery you take will appear even more beautiful.
Master Ni was great. He would introduce the scenic spots as he passed by, and he was very proactive in helping with the luggage when we arrived at Jiuzhaigou. He also cared about the children's condition in the car and reminded them of the precautions for hypoxia. We were picked up by the high-speed rail on time in the morning, and then our luggage was left in the car for a day. The master waited for us outside the scenic spot and asked about the end time. It was a very pleasant day.

The scenery is beautiful and it is worth a visit. The water in Erdaohai is very beautiful, comparable to Jiuzhaigou, but there are fewer people than Jiuzhaigou. The only bad thing is that when there are too many self-driving cars, the traffic in Erdaohai Scenic Area becomes a mess and very congested.
🌄The underestimated treasure wonderland - Munigou, absolutely amazing!
I have heard of the name of Munigou for a long time. This time I finally had the opportunity to check in. It was really shocking! This trip is simply a perfect journey for me to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and embrace nature. I must share it with everyone! 🌳
🚗Transportation:
I first flew to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Airport, and then shared a car with my friends to Munigou. It cost only a few dozen yuan per person, and we could go directly to the entrance of the scenic spot. It was super convenient!
🎫Tickets:
We bought a package ticket. For 100 yuan, we can play in the two scenic spots of Zaga Waterfall and Erdaohai. It is very cost-effective!
🌅Zhaga Waterfall:
As soon as you enter the scenic area, you can hear the roar of the waterfall from a distance. Walking along the wooden plank road, the majestic Zaga Waterfall comes into view. The water flows down from the huge travertine body, splashing layers of water. Under the sunlight, it looks like a gorgeous rainbow, so beautiful that it makes people suffocate! Standing on the observation deck below the waterfall, you can feel the wonders of nature up close. The water vapor blowing in your face instantly makes you feel refreshed and all your fatigue disappears. I took a lot of beautiful photos here, and every frame can be used as a wallpaper! 📸
🌊Erdaohai: After coming out of Zhaga Waterfall, take a short break and go to Erdaohai. This is simply a dreamy fairy tale world! Walking along the trail, you will be surrounded by lush forests and countless clear green lakes, as if gems are inlaid on the earth. Swan Lake, Emerald Lake... Each lake is beautiful in its own way, and the color of the lake is clearly layered, with light green, dark green and azure blue intertwined, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off. Along the way, I also encountered many cute little squirrels. They jumped on the branches and were super lively. I also fed them pine nuts. It was so interesting! Going to the deepest part, there is a mysterious cave. The stalactites in the cave are of various shapes. Under the reflection of the lights, it is full of fantasy, just like walking into a mysterious underground palace. 💎
🍜Food:
There are many Tibetan restaurants around the scenic area. You must try the authentic Tibetan food! The butter tea is salty and fragrant. After a sip, the whole body is warmed up; the yak beef hot pot is even more delicious. The meat is tender and paired with local wild mushrooms. The delicious taste makes me drool when I think about it now! There are also special wild vegetable buns, which are refreshing and delicious. You must try it~
💡Tips:
1. The temperature difference between morning and evening in the scenic area is relatively large. Remember to bring a thick coat. Even if you go in summer, you may need it!
2. The ultraviolet rays are very strong. Be sure to take sun protection measures. Sunscreen, sun hats, and sunglasses are all arranged!
3. Some sections of the scenic area are slippery, especially near the waterfall. Be careful and pay attention to safety when walking.
4. Take care of the environment, don't throw away garbage at will, and protect this beautiful landscape together!
Munigou is really a treasure scenic spot that is seriously underestimated. The natural scenery here is not inferior to those popular attractions, but it is less noisy and crowded. If you also want to find a place to quietly feel the beauty of nature, then Munigou is definitely your best choice! I am already looking forward to the next time in Munigou

This is not only a stopover and supply station for trips to Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, Hongyuan Grasslands, and Ruoergai Flower Lake, but also houses the Long March Monument, a monument unlike any other commemorative structure. The monument garden is vast, rich in content, and offers captivating scenery.
The main temple of Sichuan is a Tibetan Buddhist Gelu temple. The golden roof and the prayer wheel shine in the sun, and you can participate in the vicissitudes of blessing. The altitude of Sichuan main temple is 2980 meters. It is located in Songpan County, Aba Tibetan and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. It is on the edge of National Highway 213. You have to pass through Ruoergai. It's gonna be right to shoot the sunset.
