Jiuhuang Mountain Scenic Area consists of Jiuhuang Mountain and Huaxi Scenic Area, one on the left side of the road and the other on the right side of the road. Among them, Jiuhuang Mountain is mainly for viewing the Ape King Cave, Lover's Bridge, high-altitude glass plank road, etc., and Huaxi Scenic Area is for viewing magnolia flowers.

Jiuhuang Mountain consists of the front mountain and the back mountain. The main attractions of the front mountain are the Ape King Cave and the Lover's Bridge, while the back mountain mainly has experience projects such as the high-altitude glass plank road.

Jiuhuang Mountain Scenic Area has many exciting entertainment facilities, the scenery is also very beautiful, and the Ape King Cave is also quite shocking!

This scenic spot is located in Beichuan County and is home to the Baima Tibetan ethnic group. The local customs and culture are well worth experiencing.

I went to the Lover's Bridge and Yuanwang Cave to walk in the rain. It was very nice and fun.

By Big waves |

The most distinctive feature of the Lover's Cave is that it is a high mountain cave located on a cliff. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up towards the Ape King Cave, you can see a huge and lifelike image of the Ape King far away on the cliff. I don't know whether it is carved or painted.

Yuanwang Cave is named after the cave. Within the 4 square kilometers around the Yuanwang Cave Natural Scenic Area, there are 23 unique caves such as Yanyun Cave, Ganlong Cave, and Silver Carp Cave.

The landscape inside the Ape King Cave is both real and illusory, including hundreds of lifelike and magical landscapes of different styles, such as "String of Beads and Jade", "Pearl White Jade Tower", "Stone Forest Beauty", "Yaochi Cave Heaven", and "Stone Qin on the Cliff".

Jiuhuangshan Qiang ethnic group's banquet. It's still too cold in winter.

It's very cool inside in summer, and it's quite big, enough for half a day of fun.

Here I would like to remind everyone that if you are staying in a hotel in the scenic area, if you drive yourself, you should park your car at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and then take the cable car up the mountain~

Coming out of the cable car is the Erma Ancient Road. There are many reliefs on the stone walls along the entire ancient road, some of which are totems, and some of which display the ancient customs of the Qiang people.

Next to the Temple of Heaven is the staircase leading to the first tower of Western Qiang. It is very steep. Go up from the Temple of Heaven and then go down another staircase to reach Jinzhaifang. After walking along a section of ancient road, you will reach Qiangqing Garden.

We came to the farm in the clouds at the top and saw the picking area and the egg picking area. You can go down to the fields to pick fresh vegetables and pheasant eggs by yourself, which is very interesting. There is also the cloud swing that became popular on Douyin~ You can go and swing if you are not afraid, and there are some other entertainment facilities.

Hunting is a special activity of Jiuhuang Mountain. Visitors only need to show their tickets to enter and hunt. You can go to the hunting grounds where pheasants, rabbits and even wild boars are raised and start your bare-handed hunting! You cannot use any tools when hunting with bare hands. If you hunt wild boars, you cannot catch wild boars under 30 kilograms. You can catch wild boars over 30 kilograms at will! As long as you can catch it, you can take it away.

Wild boars are really hard to catch. It was such a small pig that several people kept chasing and blocking it. Both the people and the pig were exhausted. I barely managed to catch one of its hind legs. But I think most tourists come here to hunt just to experience something they have never experienced before, and this is enough~

You still need to take the cable car first to go down the mountain, and then transfer to the slide. I highly recommend the slide, it's super fun~ The brave ones can sit alone and control the speed by themselves. It feels like riding a single roller coaster, of course, this one doesn't have as big a slope as a roller coaster, so don't worry about it being scary.

We came to the long-awaited glass plank road. Standing high in the sky, we could see the scenery in the distance, which was very beautiful.

By Interesting Feifei Murphy |

Passing through the entrance, you will see a big cave with many wine jars outside.

Entering the Ape King Cave, the light suddenly dimmed and one could only see some faint lights and colorful lights, which made the cave look brand new.

There is also a legend about the Ape King Cave. It is said that a group of apes lived in the cave, led by the Ape King. A fairy in the sky particularly liked the scenery here and often came down to visit. The Ape King fell in love with the fairy, so he often climbed the ancient vines and swung across the mountain stream, waiting for the fairy. Slowly, the lovers finally got married. The Jade Emperor was also moved by their love, so he let the Ape King ascend to become a fairy, so that they could live together forever. So there is the Ape King Cave and Lover's Bridge now~

The timing of our visit was very clever, as there was a new skywalk project next to the Lover's Bridge, allowing you to experience the thrill of walking in the air.

The feeling is completely different from being on the Lover's Bridge. The Lover's Bridge is not hollow, and unlike the glass plank road, it is not transparent. Moreover, they are all made of very solid materials. Apart from being narrow, it is not particularly scary. However, walking in the sky is different. The entire bridge is supported by only a few thin-looking steel cables. There are wooden planks at regular intervals on the steel cables. When walking on it, you can basically only rely on the safety rope tied to your body to maintain balance. If the wind is strong, the entire bridge will shake, and the mountain breeze and light rain will also fall on your body. It is really exciting to walk on it.

The only feature of Jiuhuang Mountain is probably the Ape King Cave, a large karst cave. It used to be a separate tourist attraction, but is now included in Jiuhuang Mountain.

By Loyal Heart Shines on Lu Cheng |

If you want to travel to Jiuhuang Mountain, you must be prepared to abuse yourself and exercise. Here is a piece of advice for everyone: if you really choose to walk all the way, you may really walk to despair.

By Rain marks within reach |

Yuanwang Cave is a very distinctive high mountain cave in northwest Sichuan. The stalactites inside are very distinctive under the light. There are free guided tours. You can start the tour when you have gathered a certain number of people outside the cave.

It only took me half an hour to finish the tour, which is ok. If you are nearby, you can come and have a look.

By Travel without boundaries |

After seeing this review, I can’t wait to go to the Ape King Cave!

By Atmosphere |

Jiuhuang Mountain is really fun, much more fun than Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng. Maybe because it is not yet fully developed, the tourists are not fully cheated yet. Many things are included in the ticket. Tickets for the Skywalk can be bargained (whisper). If you go to Chengdu or live in the vicinity of Chengdu, you might as well go and experience the fun of Jiuhuang Mountain "amusement park", a place you want to come again after you come.

At first I was not very interested in this because I thought all caves were the same, with colorful lights, strange stalactites, warm in winter and cool in summer, and I went in just to accompany them. But after entering, I think there is one thing that is different from other places, that is, you can see the reflection in the water. The higher the cave is, the deeper the reflection in the water is, as if you are standing in a very suspended place, which is quite impressive.

By 77 Travel Food Sauce |

When you step into the Yuanwang Cave, you will feel the coolness blowing on your face, which is truly a "natural air conditioner". The 2,200-meter-long Yuanwang Cave is a karst cave in northwest Sichuan with unique karst landforms. The ingenious phosphorus stones in the cave form a colorful wonder with the lighting effect. The bizarre brown stony walls in the cave are cool and refreshing. Walking in the cave, you will marvel at the magic of nature.

By A Little Luck |

The cable cars on the front and back mountains cost a total of 180 yuan. The cable car on the front mountain is very long and slow, and it takes about 10 minutes. The cable car connects the two peaks. The higher you slide, the more you feel like you can see all the mountains. There are lush trees on all sides.

Many friends ask, "How many days is the best time to visit Jiuhuang Mountain?" I usually tell you, "It is recommended to visit for 2 days. If you really don't have time, 1 day is also OK." After arriving at the Jiuhuang Mountain Scenic Area, the "Jiuhuang Mountain" archway comes into view. The ticket office of the visitor center is very conspicuous, so don't worry about not finding it. The scenic area is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain. It is recommended to take the cableway up and down the mountain so as to keep full of energy and enjoy the fun. The first stop of the cableway up the mountain is Xiqiang Hotel. Experience the ancient travel method of the Qiang people. The Qiangjia zipline hanging between the two mountains takes you to experience the speed and passion brought by high-altitude gliding. If you are brave enough, you can also take a video to record the exciting moment. Walking down from the Xianshan Hotel is Guanyin Cliff. 32 lifelike Guanyin statues with different expressions stand on the side of the stone wall and look at the sky. Lush trees grow between the rocks, and the fragrance of vegetation moisturizes the heart. It is far away from the hustle and bustle and makes people feel pure. Lush trees grow between the rocks, creating a world away from the mundane world. The Lover's Bridge stretches between the two mountains. You can take the glass slide from Qiang Diao. It feels like going back to your childhood when you were riding a slide. The speed of the glass slide is controlled by your feet, and your whole body is in the slide, which is very exciting.

The ticket plus the front and back mountain cable cars cost a total of 270 (90+60+120). It faces the Huaxi scenery across the valley. There are no large areas of magnolia flowers on it. It is a scenic spot characterized by steep cliffs and mainly mountain scenery, similar to Doushan Mountain. It is not my favorite attraction.

By Yaoyao's mom |

We booked a parent-child package online, which cost 299 yuan for two adults and one child (included scenic spot tickets, up and down mountain cable cars, one night in a hotel, breakfast, one hot spring in Songshan Villa, tickets to the Bird Park on the back mountain, free Qiang Ten Bowls, and wild hunting). I thought it was quite cost-effective at the time. It was already two o'clock when we arrived at Jiuhuang Mountain, and private cars were not allowed to drive up the mountain. We parked the car in the large parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot. Because there were only two scenic spots in the front mountain, the Lover's Bridge and the Ape King Cave, we were not in a hurry to play slowly. The two attractions are next to each other. You can walk or take a zipline. The zipline is 40 yuan round trip, which is not expensive. It only takes a few minutes to get there, but we chose to walk because we have children. The Qiang Mountain is really steep, and the stone steps feel like they were built on the side of the mountain instead of dug out of the mountain. On the way, we also passed the Guanyin Cliff built on the mountain. After two hours of walking, we first arrived at the Lover's Bridge. The Lover's Bridge in Jiuhuang Mountain is different from other Lover's Bridges. It is more legendary and more dangerous.

The Qiang cuisine in Jiuhuang Mountain is unique and you can't stop eating it once you start. Of course, don't worry about gaining weight, because playing around Jiuhuang Mountain will consume all the food you eat! Although there are farmhouses around Jiuhuang Mountain, I still recommend staying in the scenic area. It is most convenient to drive to the scenic area. It takes more than 3 hours to drive from Chengdu, and Deyang and Mianyang are even closer. Before going to Jiuhuang Mountain, I searched for some strategy information on a certain search and found that many people complained. The key points are the price pit and the scenic area is super tiring. It turned out that the amount of information promoted by the scenic area was too little, and tourists were not prepared at all, and there was a huge gap between psychological expectations and actual feelings. If you want to spend less money, then you have to treat this trip as an "extreme challenge trip"! You must constantly challenge your physical limits to climb high and far, and the sky is high and the clouds are light. If you want to have a relaxing time, you have to spend more money. Jiuhuang Mountain's three cableways (cable cars) + slides + sightseeing cars will cost a lot of money, but it can really be more relaxed. Because it is said that it takes 4-5 hours to climb the cliff plank road, which is really not something that ordinary people can bear. As a tourist, I think Jiuhuang Mountain has more tourist experience projects than ordinary scenic spots. In summer, you can go grass skiing and hunting, in winter, you can go to hot springs and play in the snow, in spring, you can enjoy magnolia flowers, in autumn, you can see red-leaf forests, you can catch wild boars, pheasants and rabbits with your bare hands (free, you can take them away if you catch them), high-end hunting (Jiuhuang Mountain has a gun license), watch the sunrise, the sea of ​​clouds and the stars, watch parrots, black bears and macaques, watch the red-bellied pheasants, green peacocks and black starlings in the Bird Park, sit on the high-altitude zip line and high-speed slide, watch the Qiang acrobatics and Qiang wedding, taste the Qiang wedding snacks, watch the 720-degree 3D world crossing... There are very few tourist products that can be purchased in such a scenic spot with ethnic customs, intangible cultural heritage and logo characteristics. At present, you can only buy some Qiang embroidery souvenirs after the Qiang wedding, and buy the Ape King Yuye Cave Wine in the Ape King Cave. If it is just "entertainment projects", Jiuhuang Mountain may still be relatively lacking. After all, it is a scenic spot rebuilt during the earthquake, and there are still many supporting facilities that need to be slowly built. Now the entertainment projects that can be experienced in Jiuhuang Mountain are only hot springs, Guozhuang dance, watching performances, and playing mahjong! Playing mahjong! Playing mahjong! Important things should be said three times. Some friends may think that playing mahjong is not rare.

By The little ant who loves traveling |

After visiting the entire Jiuhuang Mountain, the thing we felt most was that Sichuan people are so amazing. No wonder the Anti-Japanese War and the Kuomintang-Communist War had to rely on the Sichuan Army. Sichuan people who regarded crossing mountains and ridges as their daily life had no problem winning the war! From another perspective, I was also thinking about one thing: Why didn't Lao Deng publicize the difficulties of traveling to Jiuhuang Mountain more comprehensively? It was not until the end of the trip that I saw the staff in the scenic area jumping up and down, crossing mountains and ridges without a breath, that I figured it out. Because in their eyes, the cliffs and abysses of Jiuhuang Mountain will not make people tired at all! In addition, what really shocked me was that this scenic spot, which was completely destroyed in the earthquake, was rebuilt so well, and the protection of the ecology seemed to be better than before. In my opinion, Jiuhuang Mountain is more like a spirit, a spirit that does not succumb to nature, dares to challenge oneself, cannot be defeated, cannot be tired, is not afraid of difficulties, and moves forward courageously. Under such a spirit, why should we be too demanding?

If you don't want to take the cable car, you can challenge your own limits and go there by the plank road. Jiuhuang Mountain retains the wisdom of the ancients, such as zip lines.

By 56 tribes |

Some timid tourists were quite scared, but when the cableway was running halfway, they were more attracted by the beautiful scenery in the mountains. It was the end of late spring and the beginning of early summer in May; the green grass was bright and sunny, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Although there were forest trails, many tourists still chose the slide. Maybe everyone wanted to experience a real "roller coaster"! The feeling of speeding was both exciting and fun. If you come to Jiuhuang Mountain and don't walk on the Lover's Bridge, it would be a waste of time. Looking at the figures of tourists on the Lover's Bridge, I really want to laugh. Many tourists who are afraid of heights have various postures. Of course, the Lover's Bridge is a major photo-taking holy place in Jiuhuang Mountain.

The price of the Jiuhuang Mountain cableway is a bit confusing: for example, the first section is 50 yuan for a one-way trip and 60 yuan for a round trip. It is quite unique and suitable for taking photos, and there are not many people climbing the mountain. I always thought that Jiuhuang Mountain would be crowded on May 1st, but it is not. The end of the first section of the cableway is the ticket gate.

By Lift the corners of your mouth |

We only visited the front mountain and the Ape King Cave of Jiuhuang Mountain! When we were about to reach the Ape King Cave, there were so many cars that we forgot that it was Saturday and the parking fee was raised to 20 yuan! This is understandable! The endless queue was just a piece of cake! Finally, after about an hour, we got on the cable car! In 512, the index load-bearing steel cable of the cableway "jumped rope", and dozens of hanging baskets were shaken and smashed and separated from the load-bearing steel cable and destroyed. Not many people climbed the mountain that day! The trees are lush and the ancient vines are entangled. There are many rare tree species and many rare animals. Because of the high concentration of negative oxygen ions, in this natural oxygen bar, you can breathe fresh and clean air to your heart's content, and get rid of all the fatigue and troubles of your body and mind.

Before going to Jiuhuang Mountain, I also searched for some guide information on a certain search engine, and found that many people complained. The key points are the price pit and the scenic spot is super tiring. After reading this information, I made some preparations in advance. But after the tour, I found that the reason for these slots was mainly because the amount of information promoted by the scenic spot was too little, and tourists were not prepared at all, and there was a huge gap between psychological expectations and actual feelings. Regarding the "tour" of Jiuhuang Mountain, I think one thing must be made clear: if you want to spend less money, then you have to treat this trip as an "extreme challenge trip"! You must constantly challenge your physical limits to climb high and far, and the sky is high and the clouds are light. If you want to have a relaxing trip, you have to spend more money. Jiuhuang Mountain's three cableways (cable cars) + slides + sightseeing cars will cost a lot of money, but it can really be relatively easy. Because the cliff plank road is said to take 4-5 hours to climb, it is really not something that ordinary people can bear. And from the identity of a tourist, I think Jiuhuang Mountain has more tourism experience projects than ordinary scenic spots. Grass skiing and hunting in summer, hot springs and snow playing in winter, magnolia flowers in spring, red-leaf forests in autumn, wild boars, pheasants and rabbits caught with bare hands (free, you can take them away), high-end hunting (Jiuhuang Mountain has a gun license), watching the sunrise, sea of ​​clouds and stars, parrots, black bears and macaques, watching red-bellied pheasants, green peacocks and black starlings in the Bird Park, high-altitude zipline speed slides, watching Qiang acrobatics and Qiang weddings, tasting Qiang wedding banquets and Qiang snacks, watching 720-degree 3D world travel... About shopping. This is really a slot in Jiuhuang Mountain. There are so few tourist products that can be purchased in such a scenic spot with ethnic customs, intangible cultural heritage and logo features. At present, you can only buy some Qiang embroidery souvenirs after the Qiang wedding, and buy the Ape King Yuye Cave Wine in the Ape King Cave. There are no other special foods, handicraft souvenirs, original IP products, etc. For someone like me who wants to buy a refrigerator magnet everywhere, it is a bit regrettable. Regarding entertainment… I seem to have already said something in the “tourism” column. If it is just “entertainment projects”, Jiuhuang Mountain may still be relatively lacking. After all, it is a scenic spot rebuilt during the earthquake, and there are still many supporting facilities that need to be slowly built. Now the entertainment projects that can be experienced in Jiuhuang Mountain are only hot springs, Guozhuang dance, watching performances, and playing mahjong! Playing mahjong! Playing mahjong! Important things must be said three times.

After crossing the Lover's Bridge, you will find the Ape King Cave. The most common information about Jiuhuang Mountain on the Internet is about the Ape King Cave. In fact, there is more than just the Ape King Cave in Jiuhuang Mountain. There is a wine cellar at the entrance of the Ape King Cave. You can smell the aroma of wine when you walk to the door. There are also wine sellers at the door. The Ape King Cave is a high mountain cave. The cave is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is neither cold nor hot in this season. The cave is full of stone pillars, stalagmites and underground rivers, which is very spectacular. Especially when the stone pillars are reflected in the water, coupled with the colorful lights in the cave, it is particularly shocking. In fact, the Ape King Cave is suspended on a cliff hundreds of meters high, facing the continuous mountains and deep canyons, but it cannot be felt in the cave.

By YIYI Notes |

My previous impression of Jiuhuang Mountain seemed to be nothing but magnolia flowers. This visit to Jiuhuang Mountain broke my previous impression. It turns out that there are so many places to play in Jiuhuang Mountain. The area is very large, divided into the front mountain and the back mountain. It is recommended to play for a day and a half. When you come to Jiuhuang Mountain, you can also participate in the local Qiang wedding, which starts on time at 12 noon. You can attend the wedding for free and have a wedding banquet here after the wedding. The banquet is 60 yuan per person, no matter how many people are at a table. There are so many wild animals in Jiuhuang Mountain, you can't imagine it.

By YIYI Notes |

Yuanwang Cave is a high mountain cave with different magical landscapes such as "beads and jade", "Pearl White Jade Tower", "Stone Forest Beauty", "Yaochi Cave Heaven", and "Cliff Stone Qin". The cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is neither cold nor hot in this season. The cave is full of stone pillars, stalagmites and underground rivers, which is very spectacular. Especially when the stone pillars are reflected in the water, coupled with the colorful lights in the cave, it is particularly shocking.

By It's Yueyue |

The Ape King Cave is not ventilated, so once you enter the Ape King Cave, you will feel hot and stuffy, and there is also an indescribable odor. The cultures in the caves are different. The Buddhist culture in the Foye Cave is very strong, while the ape culture in the Ape King Cave is stronger. At the exit of the Ape King Cave, you can see many wine-making porcelain jars of various sizes and shapes, and the wine is sold to the public.

The beauty of the Ape King Cave is the biggest gain of this trip. I was shocked by the uncanny workmanship of nature. The perfect combination of the cave and the lights created this beautiful scenery. You can visit the Ape King Cave for about half an hour and take 2 photos. Then you can take the photos at the entrance of the cave. It costs 15 yuan per photo. We took them because we thought they were beautiful. Oh, I forgot to say that the potatoes at the entrance of the Ape King Cave are delicious. They cost 5 yuan each. I was so greedy that I bought 2.

The scenery is great, the air is fresh, and the cave is comfortable. It is worth going.

Looking from Changpo, there is a "Ape King" carved on the stone wall near the Ape King Cave in Jiuhuang Mountain, gazing majestically at the crowd below the mountain.

There is a Yuanwang Cave halfway up the mountain, which is also a natural cave. The cave is very large, and the stalactites of various shapes inside are also worth seeing. Especially in this season, taking a walk in the cave can immediately get rid of the hot summer air outside and feel the coolness inside the cave.

By Thigh girl |

The Ape King Cave is a big cave full of stalactites. With the lights, it looks bizarre. There are two places to take photos for free. You can get a free small photo at the entrance of the cave, but a large photo costs 15 yuan. After visiting the Ape King Cave, you can take the cable car at the entrance of the cave back to the Dayu Cultural Area, or you can return the same way, or you can walk down a cliff plank road up the mountain, which takes about 3 hours.

The Jiuhuang Mountain scenic spot is not highly rated on the internet, but when I see the towering and continuous mountains, the rippling blue streams, the tourists slowly moving forward on the steep cliffs, the sun shining in the distance, and a hint of chill in the wind, I have to say that this is a great place for an outing in spring.

By Fish Seven Meow |

The ticket to Jiuhuang Mountain is 270 for a full ticket and 220 or 230 for an ID ticket. The ticket price includes two round-trip cable cars and free skiing, but those who buy the full ticket get a free one-hour flying saucer, which is not available with the ID ticket.

By 0Coo Song0 |

The scenic area is relatively mature and the scenery is worth seeing. It is recommended to go there when it is hotter.

By Ronin's Notes |

Personally, I feel that Jiuhuang Mountain is worth a visit, but the cable car is a bit expensive and the fee design is a bit unreasonable.

By Ronin's Notes |

The Ape King Cave is a karst cave with a walking distance of about 3 kilometers. The cave is quite spectacular and you can feel the magical charm of nature. I walked in the cave for more than 90 minutes and it was very shocking.

By he, |

The scenic spot is average, the stalactites in the Ape King Cave are nice

By J& |

The Ape King Cave is a karst cave with limited flow, probably because if there are too many people, the carbon dioxide concentration will be very high, which is somewhat dangerous. You can take small photos for free, but you have to pay for large photos. After entering, it is relatively dark inside, and there are not many places suitable for mobile phone photos, but you can feel the wonders of nature. I touched the stone next to me, it was wet and slippery.

There is a huge monkey painted on the mountain. It is still scary to go up the bridge in the mist, especially when it is windy and foggy, and you can't see anything around you.

It is the largest alpine cave in southwest China. There is a large ape painted on the mountain. It is still scary to go up the bridge when it is surrounded by clouds and fog, especially when it is windy and foggy, and you can't see anything around you.

The Ape King Cave is still worth seeing, especially the phantom in the water. It seems that there is another world under the calm water surface. Under the quiet water, time seems to stand still. Sometimes it feels like Captain Jack's ghost ship, and sometimes it feels like the South China Sea tomb in the Tomb Robbers' Chronicles. The Ape King Cave only lets people in at regular intervals, and it is not free to enter at any time.

Because the Ape King Cave has to be entered in batches at different times, we rested outside and had something to eat before going in. There are special guides who will tell you the precautions and introductions.

Tickets are free from May 6 to 26. The front mountain cableway purchased in the lobby costs 60 yuan. You can choose to take the cable car or the shuttle bus. The cable car is a 2-seater and the shuttle bus can take more than a dozen people. The parking fee in the scenic area is 10 yuan for 15 minutes to 12 hours, but the parking lot in the scenic area is limited, so on holidays, most vehicles are parked in the surrounding farmhouses, and the price is 20 yuan. As far as the front mountain is concerned, Guanyin Cliff---Lover Bridge---Ape King Cave is all there is. It took a total of 5 hours (I didn't go to the back mountain), and I walked all the way except for the cable car up the mountain.

A travel experience worth having every April.

I personally think that the route to Jiuhuang Mountain must be restricted. Even the short slope to take the sightseeing bus is breathtakingly steep, and the excitement is no less than that of Huashan. Climbing Jiuhuang Mountain is another eye-catching scenery that will never let mountaineering enthusiasts go home disappointed. In April, the warm sun continued, and the magnolia flowers in Huaxijing on Jiuhuang Mountain were still in full bloom, like clouds and rosy clouds, and there was an intoxicating spring scene everywhere. The high mountain canyons with emerald peaks and ridges and the sloping stone waterfalls that flow down are intertwined and arranged in a staggered manner in Jiuhuang Mountain, which is very spectacular.

I have been to the Ape King Cave once. It is the filming location of the Crystal Palace in the old version of Journey to the West. The Lover's Bridge at the entrance of the Ape King Cave is also a very good attraction. Ten years ago, walking on that bridge, it was neither up nor down, and the left and right sides were very far away. It felt very scary. Walking on the bridge and looking at the current Huaxi scenery, there are only a few small huts. I still remember that it was snowing lightly, and the vastness was helpless and cold. It was damaged in the 2008 earthquake and has been rebuilt now.

Climbing the Lover's Bridge is quite exciting, but it's okay, the air is better!

By Like the wind |

Lover's Bridge is very beautiful. It is suitable for couples who are friends.

First take the cable car up and then walk for a while. The most thrilling part is the part to the Lover's Bridge.

Jiuhuangshan Yuanwang Cave is located in Guixi Township, Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, Sichuan Province. The scenic spot is located in the only Qiang Autonomous County in the country and is quite unique. I don't want to say anything. I don't want to go there again.

The air is good, you can hunt chickens, have bonfire parties, etc.

There is only one way up and down the mountain, which is inconvenient. The zipline is very exciting and worth trying.

By HIKE |

The mountain is very steep, there are many cable cars, and the fees are high. The route from Xianshan to Yuanwang Cave is not well designed, dangerous and narrow, and you must take this route when returning, which poses certain safety hazards during peak hours.

By Fear of choice |

There are three main attractions in the front mountain: 1. Lover's Bridge, a bridge between the mountains, which is only wide enough for two people to pass by. For a timid person like me, I kept my eyes straight and moved at a constant speed throughout the whole process. It was windy in the middle of the bridge, so students wearing hats and skirts should prepare in advance. 2. Ape King Cave, after crossing the Lover's Bridge, you will reach the Ape King Cave. Later on the way back, I found that there was another road next to it that could lead to the Ape King Cave. If I had known earlier, I think I would definitely not have come over the Lover's Bridge (*/∇\*). The Ape King Cave is not much different from other caves I have seen before, and it takes about half an hour to walk around. 3. Cliff plank road, there is a road between the Ape King Cave and the Lover's Bridge that can go up. For various reasons, we did not experience it, but it looks more exciting. According to the introduction next to it, it takes about 3 hours to go up. You can reach the back mountain.

At the back of the mountain, the scenic spot is divided into two sides by the ropeway. On one side is the monkey park, with animal performances, skiing (grass skiing) and bare-handed hunting areas. In the bare-handed hunting area, we saw someone carrying a pheasant away. On the other side is the Qiang Park, where Qiang wedding performances are held at 12 o'clock on holidays. There is also a live ammunition hunting area here.



The ticket is 90, which is not cheap. There are cable cars, ropeways, slides, zip lines, and sightseeing buses. For those who don't want to walk, there are transportation options for each section. The specific prices are in the pictures.



Accommodation: There are four accommodation options in the scenic area. Xiqiang Hotel, Xianshan Hotel, and Songshan Villa seem to be together. There is also a Qiangqingyuan Villa in the back mountain. We stayed in the annex of Xiqiang Hotel. Due to the Labor Day holiday, the listed price was not discounted. The 358 room is similar to a farmhouse. It is said that it will be cheaper to book online in advance. Although it is Labor Day, there are still plenty of rooms. There is a bonfire party here at night, so I stayed here for this.

It was a very tiring climb. We hiked the whole way. The mountain road was high and steep. None of us gave up and we kept climbing to the top. The funniest thing was that I was wearing wedge heels. When I came back, I found that my shoes were worn out. My feet were shaking when I went down the mountain. I couldn't walk at all. Finally, I chose to take the cable car down the mountain. Remember to wear professional shoes. Lesson learned.

The scenic spot is located in the only Qiang Autonomous County in China, where the Qiang ethnic group lives. The Qiang ethnic group is an ancient ethnic group with a civilization history of more than 3,000 years. In ancient times, the Qiang people lived in most areas of Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other provinces, and were called Western Qiang in history books. In ancient times, there were only four ethnic groups known as Nanman, Beidi, Dongyi and Xiqiang.

Attracted by the advertisement of free viewing of magnolia flowers on the highway, we decided to go on a spontaneous trip... The magnolia flowers are concentrated in the middle of the mountain and can be seen from a distance at the foot of the mountain. You can pay to take a sightseeing bus up the mountain, or you can hike up the mountain for free. So we chose to hike up and down the mountain. The process was difficult, but the result was worth it. The feeling of climbing to the top of the mountain with sweat all over my body was very fulfilling, and the magnolia flowers were really beautiful.

This is a chance for people who have never seen snow to experience it. There are places to rest and eat on the mountain. Hot and sour noodles are 10 yuan per serving. Roujiamo (with bacon in it). During the climb, there are also grilled tofu, bacon and bacon ribs to eat, which is good!

I went there with my classmates. We didn't take the cable car to climb up. But we didn't climb to the back mountain. We only climbed to the Ape King Cave and didn't climb. The scenery was still beautiful. Anyway, it was developed like that. We went to Ape King East to take pictures. Later, we had to pay 15 yuan for each photo. The hotel charges tens of thousands. It's really too expensive for students.

I went there in early December, with a tour group. There was no compulsory consumption, but I still bought a lot of things. Jiuzhaigou is too far from Chengdu, and the transportation is not convenient. Otherwise, I will go there every year.

If I hadn't driven there to avoid sore legs, I would have definitely climbed to the top of the mountain. There was no entrance fee when I went there, but the cable car ticket was 60 yuan per person, and the cable car ride lasted for ten minutes. There was nothing much about the Ape King Cave, but the Lover's Bridge was more of a gimmick. The only feature was the mountain plank road, which was very pleasant to look down on.

By The most beautiful scenery is on the road |

The air is fresh and the environment is beautiful. The featured attractions are Yuanwang Cave and Lover's Bridge. The stalactites in Yuanwang Cave are bizarre and breathtaking. Lover's Bridge is fun and exciting. Unless you walk on it in person, you really can't experience the feeling of being in a fairyland.

It's suitable for a family to go together on weekends. I went there in summer. It was very cool in the mountains. The Ape King Cave was like a big refrigerator. Fortunately, there were not many people, so I could stroll around slowly~~~

It feels okay. You can go to see the Ape King Cave and walk along the Lover's Bridge.

Jiuhuang Mountain, also known as Yuanwang Cave, is located next to the road from Jiangyou to Pingwu, so transportation is quite convenient. The ticket to Yuanwang Cave is very expensive, the front mountain cableway (90 yuan) plus the ticket is 90 yuan, and there is another cableway to the back mountain. There is nothing to see in the back mountain, just a few roads and a place to watch performances. The front mountain is the essence, with caves, cable bridges, and hot springs. It takes a whole day to play in Yuanwang Cave, but it is not recommended to go to the back mountain.
