Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area

Jiuzhaigou National Nature Reserve is located in Jiuzhaigou County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is the first nature reserve in China with the main purpose of protecting natural scenery and is included in the World Natural Heritage List. Jiuzhaigou is a mountain valley with a depth of more than 50 km, a total area of ​​650.74hm², and most of it is covered by forests. It is named because there are nine Tibetan villages such as Shuzheng, Heye, and Zechawa in the valley, which are located in this group of alpine lakes. Jiuzhaigou has charming scenery in all seasons. There are rich and diverse animal and plant resources, and virgin forests are everywhere, inhabiting more than ten kinds of rare and precious wild animals such as giant pandas. Looking from afar, the snow-capped peaks stand tall and towering into the sky, covered with snow all year round. In addition, the cultural landscape composed of Tibetan wooden buildings, drying racks for prayer flags, trestle bridges, mills, traditional customs and myths and legends is known as the "beautiful fairy tale world".

I didn't do anything in college, but I made a few good friends. We had planned to go on a graduation trip, but everyone broke their promises, so we finally got together in Jiuzhaigou. Although it was a pity that one of my friends was missing, we still had a lot of fun.

In December, we finally got together. It was more like a friendship than a trip. The purpose was not important at this time, but we could be together. We chose Jiuzhaigou. Although it was winter, the scenery was still good. (Me, Xiaxia, Meijing, and Erhuo)

Erhuo is still as good as ever and never let us down. Before we even entered Jiuzhaigou, we dropped our camera into the water. After it had been soaking for a long time, a kind man finally helped us fish it out. However, we only used our mobile phones to take pictures the whole time.

It was the year after we graduated, we were all very poor, and we were very happy...

It was cloudy all day, but it still did not affect the beautiful scenery of Jiuzhaigou. Words are powerless to express it at this moment. I walked in Jiuzhaigou, stopping and starting, my body hurt, but my heart was happy.

I really recommend that you go to Jiuzhaigou in autumn or spring to see the autumn leaves or spring flowers, which are very beautiful.

I wanted to visit Jiuzhaigou a long time ago, but I didn't come because of work and study. This time I finally got the chance. When I first arrived here, I was attracted by the beautiful scenery and the moving water. The cascading waterfalls made me fall in love with this place. It really deserves to be the fairy-tale Jiuzhaigou.

I went there in late summer and early autumn, and I always wanted to go there again, but I didn't expect an earthquake to happen later, and I don't know if it's convenient now. I personally think the scenery is the best in the country. It's true that if you come back from Jiuzhaigou, you won't see the water. I haven't heard of anyone complaining about it after going to Jiuzhaigou. There are indeed many tourists, so don't go during holidays. Even if there are many tourists during normal times, they will easily disperse once you enter.

Fairytale Jiuzhaigou is a place that makes people want to come again. The scenery is simple and natural, and the various changing scenery is indescribably beautiful, just like a fairyland on earth. The water of Jiuzhaigou is the spirit given by God to the world. In autumn, Jiuzhaigou has clear streams and colorful forests. Turn off your mobile phone, stay away from the world, and have fun with your companions, letting your body and mind melt between the green mountains and green waters. The whole valley is dotted with strange lakes, which are dazzling. There are more than a hundred lakes, each surrounded by ancient trees and exotic flowers. The lakes are connected by torrents of waterfalls, each with its own characteristics and endless changes.

"After visiting Huangshan, you won't see any other mountains; after visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won't see any other waters." Jiuzhaigou's waters are world-famous and well-known both at home and abroad. It is China's first nature reserve with the main purpose of protecting natural scenery. It is also a famous scenic spot in China and a demonstration site for national civilized scenic tourist areas. It has been included in the World Natural Heritage List and the Man and Biosphere Protection Network. Jiuzhaigou is a valley with a depth of more than 50 km, with a total area of ​​650.74hm², most of which is covered by forests. It is named because there are nine Tibetan villages such as Shuzheng, Heye, and Zechawa in the valley, which are located in this group of alpine lakes. The Nuorilang Waterfall, with a width of 320 meters, was selected as the widest waterfall in China by the China World Records Association. The famous TV series CCTV version of "Journey to the West" was filmed at Nuorilang Waterfall, leaving a classic scene.

The saying "You can't miss the water after visiting Jiuzhaigou" is true. Although the ticket is not cheap, the scenery inside will make you feel that it is worth it. I may have never seen such clear water, such green grass, and such a blue sky.

If you are short on time or have limited energy, it is recommended to visit the right side of the Y-shaped route first.

19 years ago, in the summer of 2004, we once lingered in Jiuzhaigou and were amazed by its beauty; 19 years later, in the winter of 2023, we stopped in Jiuzhaigou again, and its beauty once again amazed us...

The beauty of Jiuzhaigou cannot be expressed in words; the beauty of Jiuzhaigou cannot be captured in images. Come, come to Jiuzhaigou, and remember the beauty of Jiuzhaigou with your eyes.

Jiuzhaigou, ticket price 190+90

Play time 1 day

Jiuzhaigou has three valleys. It is recommended to enter the park early in the morning, take a bus directly to Jianzhuhai, and play Rize Valley first when there are fewer people. Rize Valley is the essence of the three valleys.

At noon, we returned to the Nuorilang Transfer Center. After lunch, we went to Changhai and visited Zhawa Valley. There are relatively few scenic spots in this valley, so we can just take a look at it.

Finally, we returned to the tourist center from Nuorilang and visited Shuzheng Valley. I personally feel that the scenery of Shuzheng Valley is between the first two valleys, but most tourists gave up because of lack of time or aesthetic fatigue, which is a pity. The Nuorilang Waterfall and Shuzheng Lake in Shuzheng Valley are still worth seeing.



Jiuzhaigou is said to be a no-fly zone, but I saw a sign and DJI didn't give any warning. I suggest you don't fly where there are many staff.

We gave priority to flying to Nuorilang Waterfall. Firstly, there were no staff there, and secondly, it was like two completely different worlds when flying.

The Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is located in Zhangza Town, Jiuzhaigou, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is named after the nine Tibetan villages in the valley.

After Jiuzhaigou, I will never look at water again.

As the name suggests, after you have seen the 108 large and small springs, waterfalls, creeks and shallows in Jiuzhaigou, collectively known as lakes, you will be impressed by the colorful jade basins of the Yaochi Lake, intoxicated by the combination of movement and stillness and the softness of the green lakes and waterfalls, and fall straight into the fairyland where lakes and mountains complement each other. From then on, other streams, lakes, waterfalls and green pools will not be able to compare with the water of Jiuzhaigou in your eyes, and everything will be eclipsed by you for lack of the charm of Jiuzhaigou.

Jiuzhaigou is a Y-shaped valley with three valleys: Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley, and Zechawa Valley. The intersection of the three valleys is the Nuorilang Transfer Station, which is the transfer point for the scenic area buses of the three valleys and the only place with a restaurant in the scenic spot.

When tourists enter from the ticket gate in the morning, they line up to take the scenic area bus. At this time, tourists cannot choose which specific scenic spot to arrive at. Instead, after getting on the bus, the bus driver will follow the unified dispatch of the scenic area and drive to one of the three scenic spots: Shuzheng Village (the main scenic spot in Shuzheng Valley), Wuhua Lake (the farthest scenic spot in Rize Valley), or Changhai (the farthest scenic spot in Zechawa Valley) according to the density of the flow of people. Then everyone just needs to take the scenic area bus in the order of the scenic spots to visit them one by one. After visiting each gully, you can go to Nuorilang Center to transfer to the bus to other gullies.



Some of my favorite attractions are:

Rize Valley: Wuhua Lake (I think it is the essence of Jiuzhaigou), Pearl Beach Waterfall

Shuzheng Valley: Shuzheng Lake, Nuorilang Waterfall, Shuanglonghai Waterfall, Reed Sea

Zechawagou: Five-color Pool



I personally think that the most beautiful season in Jiuzhaigou is autumn, when Jiuzhaigou is colorful. The blue-green lakes in Jiuzhaigou are as beautiful as ever, and the leaves turn yellow and red, which adds to the beauty.

Since the Jiuzhaigou scenic area is quite large, if you only visit for one day, you can only take the scenic area bus to see the sights. If you are a photography enthusiast or a hiking enthusiast, it is recommended to spend two days in Jiuzhaigou (but during the peak season, the Jiuzhaigou ticket is only valid for one day). My friend and I spent two days in Jiuzhaigou, and walked slowly on the forest plank road. Along the way, we saw the yellow leaves and the lake, and the scenery was beautiful.



My travel notes: Following the most beautiful autumn colors - Travel notes of Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong/Bipenggou in Sichuan http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/21345961.html

It is said that if you come back from Jiuzhaigou, you will not want to see water. The most amazing thing about Jiuzhaigou is the water. When I walked to Laohuhai, I believed it. When there is no wind, the water in Jiuzhaigou is really as still as a mirror and colorful.

The saying "After returning from Jiuzhaigou, you will never want to look at water again" has spread all over the country. Only when you visit it in person can you feel the real shock of this slogan.

If Jiuzhaigou is the pearl in my collection of Chinese wonders, then this year's dream trip has added some irreparable regrets. The impact of the 8.8 earthquake made me sigh again that humans are so powerless in the face of natural disasters. The once magnificent sea of ​​sparks is difficult to restore, and it is divided into various green waves flowing into the deep reeds; and two years of careful repairs have not waited for the full opening of Rize Valley. The slogan "Don't look at water after returning from Jiuzhaigou" has spread all over the country. Only when you are there can you feel the real shock of this slogan.

If Jiuzhaigou is the pearl in my collection of Chinese wonders, then this year's dream trip has added some irreparable regrets. The impact of the 8.8 earthquake caused Jiuzhaigou to fall from the fairyland to the mortal world in just one day. The once magnificent sea of ​​sparks could not be restored, and it split into various green waves and flowed into the deep reeds; and after two years of careful repair, Rize Valley could not be fully opened.

However, the beauty of Jiuzhaigou is not innate, it is a stunning work of art that was hammered and forged by nature, such as glaciers, rock collapses, mudslides, etc. Therefore, we should believe in Jiuzhaigou, the old landscape will disappear and we will not be able to see it, and the new landscape will appear and we will wait patiently.

"After visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won't want to see water" is a true interpretation of the scenery of Jiuzhaigou. 108 lakes with springs, waterfalls, rivers and beaches form a colorful jade basin. The six major landscapes of Changhai, Jianyan, Nuorilang, Shuzheng, Zharu and Heihai are distributed in a "Y" shape. The green sea, overlapping waterfalls, colorful forests, snow-capped peaks, Tibetan feelings and blue ice are known as the "six wonders". The magical Jiuzhaigou is praised by the world as the "fairy tale world" and known as the "king of waterscapes".

It was a very pleasant trip. In addition to the beautiful scenery of Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, it is also inseparable from the professional explanation and thoughtful service of your company's tour guide. The comfortable bus and the enthusiastic company of the tour guide sister made the journey no longer tiring. I also thank the driver for his meticulous work along the way so that we can arrive at the scenic spot safely and have fun! Return home safely and happily.

I am very lucky to have chosen a good travel company. The tour guide is especially great, like an old friend. The service in all aspects is excellent! The travel process is consistent with the contract, and the accommodation and driving are very satisfactory!

The biggest highlight of this Sichuan trip, because I have seen the beauty of Jiuzhaigou countless times in various media, I feel that it is indeed worthy of its reputation after arriving. The water brings spirituality to this land, and the various colors are beautiful! It's just that the season is not good. The most beautiful season here should be autumn. In addition to water, there are also various autumn colors. I will definitely come here again and live directly in Jiuzhaigou Paradise, and then take in the beautiful scenery here.

Jiuzhaigou in autumn is really a must-see. Who can resist it? It is a beautiful place no matter how you look at it.

"After visiting Huangshan, you won't look at any other mountains; after visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won't look at any other waters." Jiuzhaigou in late autumn, in particular, is truly a colorful paradise on earth.

Need I say more? It's just picturesque and very, very worth it

It is true that after returning from Jiuzhaigou, you will not want to see water. It is worth going there 4 times, and the scenery is different every time!

God overturned the palette! It's so beautiful that I can't describe it! There are cars throughout the scenic area, so you can travel with your family

As a Sichuanese, I have never been to Jiuzhaigou.

I won’t explain Jiuzhaigou in detail.

I think there is no Ali Mei

Jiuzhaigou has never disappointed anyone. Even though it has experienced some ups and downs, it still presents the most beautiful scenery to the world. It is a place that you must visit once in your life.

Jiuzhaigou attracts tourists from all over the world with its alpine lakes, waterfalls, colorful forests, snow-capped peaks, blue ice and Tibetan customs, and is known as the "fairy tale world".

The scenery of Jiuzhaigou is absolutely beautiful in all four seasons.

On October 24, 2019, I happened to catch the first snow in Jiuzhaigou. It was so beautiful!

Fortunately, I went there before the earthquake and saw beautiful things that I will never forget!

The fairyland on earth, with changing scenery, is breathtakingly beautiful.

Jiuzhaigou will close some scenic spots in winter, but Jiuzhaigou in winter also has its own unique flavor, with frozen waterfalls and white snow against the blue lake.

After visiting Jiuzhaigou, you can’t miss the water. It’s absolutely beautiful.

Jiuzhaigou is especially beautiful in spring and is beautiful all year round. . . . ! !

Jiuzhaigou Jiuzhaigou, a paradise on earth! You must go there. Except for the long time on the road, there is no other flaws!!!

I won’t miss the water after returning from Jiuzhaigou, because it is so beautiful, especially in autumn, when the water is more transparent and the surrounding woods are dyed yellow. Even an unknown small pond has a transparent blue water color. It’s just that there are too many people all year round.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is very beautiful and definitely worth visiting. It's just that after the cancellation of the second entry into the valley, it's a bit rushed to visit all the attractions. It would be nice if I could stay there for two days. The last time I went there was in November a few years ago, and the primitive forests inside had started to snow. I like the Wuhua Lake and the Five-Colored Pool the most. The mountains and waters, the trees growing in the water, and the blue sky and white clouds are really beautiful. I want to wait until Jiuzhaigou is open and go there again.

When I went to Jiuzhaigou in winter that year, there were not many people there, so I could slowly enjoy the winter scenery.

As a well-known and famous scenic spot, it no longer needs further description. It is truly worthy of its reputation and you must visit it once in your life.

When we went there it was the end of May, the mountains were already green, the temperature was comfortable, and there were not many tourists. I highly recommend visiting at this time to avoid the peak season.

More than 10 years ago, I basically took photos of people with film. I never wanted to go there because I was afraid of taking a bus from Chengdu to Huanglong. It took 12 hours. I was vomiting to death from Huanglong to Jiuzhaigou. The scenery is really beautiful.

"After visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won't want to see water anymore" and "Jiuzhaigou is a fairy tale world" are all evaluations of the scenery of Jiuzhaigou, and it is also a must-see attraction for tourists.

One of the most beautiful scenic spots in China. I went there 16 years ago. It should be even more beautiful now.

A place you must visit in your lifetime. The scenery is different in spring, autumn, summer and winter.

It is so beautiful that there are no words to describe it. I can only sigh that the saying "You can't see the water after returning from Jiuzhaigou" is true

It is really a recommended attraction. The completely wild and natural lake is very, very beautiful.

It's a very famous place. I went there in autumn and there were a lot of people.

The scenery is great and worth seeing. There is no other place like this...

The color of the water in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is so beautiful. If we were to rank scenic spots across the country, Jiuzhaigou would be among the top few.

Jiuzhaigou is a very large scenic area. I was lucky enough to visit it before the earthquake.

But I was also very tired. I walked 19 kilometers that day.

If you come back from Jiuzhaigou and don’t see water, you must come to Jiuzhaigou if you have the chance to experience the wonders of nature!

The water in Jiuzhai is calm. A windless day is like a mirror. No matter how busy the world is, she is as quiet as a girl, enjoying nature alone. The water in Jiuzhai is clear. No matter how deep or shallow, everything under the water is clear at a glance, the deposited mud, grass, sand and stones, the broken branches, the swimming fish, and your own shadow. The water in Jiuzhai is colorful. The clear blue, the blue water, the peacock green, the red sun, many people say it is like a gem or crystal, yes, like jade and crystal, intoxicating. The water in Jiuzhai is sacred. Just like the distant snow-capped mountains, it is so holy that people can't bear to blaspheme. The beauty of Jiuzhai is suffocating.

The first time I went there was in late October, and it happened to snow. It was amazing. . . . .

Jiuzhaigou after the earthquake was deserted. The restaurants and small hotels along the way were closed, and there were few people on the streets. The former bustle was gone. Nature brought prosperity and decline. I may never have such an opportunity to see such a "lonely" Jiuzhaigou again. I have been to Jiuzhaigou before, and next time I come, I guess I will be queuing in a huge crowd.

I went to Jiuzhaigou in winter. Unfortunately, I could only see half the scenery with half the price of tickets, and I couldn't walk on the plank road. It was really a pity. I still recommend going in other seasons, when there is more water and more beautiful scenery.

Ten years ago, I chose Jiuzhaigou as my first self-guided tour. Since then, I have fallen in love with traveling. I went to Jiuzhaigou a few months after the 2008 earthquake. In fact, the earthquake had almost no impact on Jiuzhaigou, but there were almost no tourists in the valley that year. If you want to experience the real Jiuzhaigou, you must measure it with your feet.

Perhaps the Queen Mother's Yaochi was cloned by the human world, or perhaps the heaven accidentally preserved such a piece of pure land in the mortal world, flowing over Jiuzhaigou. My mood has never been so pure, so fresh, and so peaceful. This is a beautiful encounter that moves life. Fortunately, I chose you as the first place I traveled out of the province, and I was fortunate to be able to see your true appearance before the earthquake~~

I am very glad to see Jiuzhaigou before the earthquake, but I also feel very sorry that Jiuzhaigou was hit by an earthquake. I don’t know how Jiuzhaigou is after the earthquake. I hope nature can make it shine again. There are bus stops between various scenic spots in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, so it is very convenient. The entire scenic area is in the shape of a Y. You can take the bus to the scenic spots one by one. The route is not complicated. We first walked to the right half of the Y-shaped area, Mirror Sea, Five Flower Sea, Panda Sea, and Arrow Bamboo Sea. Since we got on the scenic area bus and entered Jiuzhaigou, we have been in a state of wow, wow, wow, beautiful, beautiful. No matter what kind of sea it is, it is beautiful and green! After visiting the right half, we came to the left half of the Y-shaped area. When we took the bus, we passed the Lower Season Sea and the Lower Season Sea. It happened to be the dry season, and we could only see the bare ground...

It was mid-October, and the colors of Jiuzhaigou were just beginning to show, but not yet at their peak. Most of the plants in the mountains were still green. The weather was not completely clear, and large patches of clouds and mist were floating rapidly in the mountains, like a dream. The morning wind was moist and cool but not cold. We walked along the trail towards the Rhinoceros Lake, with gurgling water all the way, and low trees growing in the water. The water was very clear.

Conventional route: 1. Take a bus from the scenic area gate to Shuzheng Village, and walk to visit Shuzheng Waterfall and Rhinoceros Lake; 2. Take a bus from Rhinoceros Lake to Jianzhu Lake, then walk all the way down to visit, and finally take a bus from Jinghai Lake back to the transfer center; 3. Take a bus from the transfer center to Changhai Lake, walk to Changhai Lake and Wucai Pool, and then take a bus back to the transfer center; 4. After walking to visit Nuorilang Waterfall from the transfer center, take a bus to the scenic area gate, get off at Luwei Lake on the way, and finally take a bus back to the scenic area gate. The bus in Jiuzhaigou stops at every scenic spot, which is very convenient to get on and off.

The scenery is nice, with mountains and water, it is worth a visit~

A place where you don't need to edit photos. Although it was a bit tiring to get here, fortunately I didn't have altitude sickness, but the scenery wasn't very exciting. 🙄

Although I have seen some scenery, once I entered Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, I couldn't stop exclaiming as if I had never seen the world. It was really beautiful, and the crystal clear lake was so beautiful. Since Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has not been restored yet, we cannot get off the car in some places. What we saw was simply beautiful. It was a bit regretful to see the waterfalls and lakes destroyed by the earthquake. I must go there again when it recovers. Changhai is still very cold. We jumped and jumped. At an altitude of more than 3,000, our hearts were beating fast. Later, it suddenly hailed, and then it was sunny again. The weather is fickle, but no matter what, it is so beautiful, beautiful!

I absolutely agree that you should not see water after visiting Jiuzhaigou. I was a little disappointed when I went to Jiuzhaigou first and then to Kanas. I went there in the year of the Wenchuan earthquake. There were few tourists and the scenery was so beautiful that I didn't want to leave.

Jiuzhaigou is made up of lakes of various sizes. It is really beautiful, so beautiful that we have to say thank you to nature. April is the dry season, so there is not much water. It is more beautiful when there is more water. The staff said that autumn is the most beautiful season.

What is a paradise on earth? You will know it after visiting Jiuzhaigou.

We arrived at Jiuzhaigou early. It is said that the number of tourists entering the valley every day reaches 50,000. We were afraid of getting lost, so we waited for more than an hour at the gate for the guide's ticket, and then lined up in a line that was endless. However, Jiuzhaigou is much better, because we found out when we arrived at the gate that there are buses to pick us up, so that more than 50 passengers can be carried at a time. The key is that there are many buses, one after another. According to the guide's opinion, we first sat on the top of the mountain and went down to the scenic spots one by one. Although the annoying rain did not stop, the scenery was really beautiful, as beautiful as a fairyland, especially after the rain stopped in the afternoon, the mountains were surrounded by mist and rain, and then the sun was shining, and the mountains were so energetic. It rains here depending on your mood. It rains in the morning and the sun is shining in the afternoon, so you need to prepare rain gear. Because of the high altitude and low temperature, you should bring more clothes. It is useless to eat Rhodiola rosea temporarily. Some people will feel dizzy. There are emergency rescue points on the way to play.

The water in Jiuzhaigou is really dreamy and beautiful. The scenic area is well maintained.

The most beautiful season is autumn, but the water in Jiuzhaigou is also beautiful in summer.

The scenery of Jiuzhaigou is naturally superb. You must visit it once in your lifetime. In fact, visiting it four times is also a must. Spring, summer, autumn and winter each have their own beauty.

http://www.mafengwo.cn/sales/shop/59144

Before entering Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, we picked up the tickets in the evening of the previous day because we were afraid of the crowds. We could buy them by ourselves, at the counter or online. The ticket price during the peak season from April 1st to November 30th is 220 yuan per person, which does not include the sightseeing bus fee.

Jiuzhaigou is composed of three valleys, which are distributed in a Y shape on the map. The most essential one is Rize Valley on the right, Zezawa Valley on the left, and Shuzheng Valley in the middle. Because of the long distance, you basically need to take a sightseeing bus in the scenic area. The bus comes with a recording or a guide. Each of the routes on both sides may take a day to play, so you will be reminded to make a choice. We chose Rize Valley for our short tour.

Sightseeing generally takes you from top to bottom, from Jianzhuhai-Jianzhuhai Waterfall-Pandahai-Wuhuahai-Nuozhilang Waterfall-Jinghai-Zhenzhutan-Zhenzhutan Waterfall. Walking all the way, each pool has its own different colors. If you can't walk anymore, it's also great to sit by the pool and stare at the water. It is said that Jianzhuhai is the filming location of "Hero" and Nuorilang Waterfall is the filming location of "Journey to the West". However, maybe it's because of the gloomy weather, or maybe it's because the maple leaves haven't turned red yet, I always feel that it's not as beautiful as in other people's photos! There are many places to change into Tibetan costumes and take pictures on the top of the mountain, but there are too many people, so I didn't try!

It takes a lot of time to walk around the scenic area. We had heated lunch at the Nori Center Station. There were too many people and no seats, so we had to stand to eat. It was also very unpalatable, so it is recommended to bring your own dry food, or instant noodles are the most delicious food.

Tips: The sightseeing bus ticket and the scenic spot ticket are connected. Wait for the sightseeing bus at the gate. There will be a scenic spot guide on the sightseeing bus. If there is no guide, there will be a video guide on TV. However, since Jiuzhaigou is Y-shaped, some sightseeing buses go to Changhai and some go to the primeval forest. You must ask clearly when you get on the bus. But according to my observation, most buses go to the primeval forest in the morning, because there are many attractions. The must-see Wuhua Lake and Pearl Beach are both in the direction of the primeval forest. And when the bus stops, the people in line rush up, and it is basically impossible to ask~

Ps: 1. The scenic area guide map is very useful. The map shows the signs of the scenic spots. Some scenic spots are marked with "up" and "down", which means that this scenic spot has a pick-up point and a drop-off point. If there is only "up" or "down", then this scenic spot can only be picked up or dropped off, and then you have to walk on the plank road to the next scenic spot. In addition, you have to look at the direction of the scenic spot map. When walking in Shuzhenggou, sit on the left, and the scenic spots are all on the left. When walking in Rizegou, sit on the right, and sit on the left in Zechawagou (this gully does not have a stop, and you drive directly to Wucai Pool or Changhai before stopping).

2. Most of the buses in the scenic area are large buses, and there are also some minibuses (we always see them on the way back). These buses are not all for tourists, and you can't just get on them. The ones with green signs on the bus don't stop, and ordinary tourists can't get on them. Those are usually chartered by the company. If there is no minibus with a green sign, you can get on it.

Changhai Lake is dark blue in color, surrounded by green mountains and peaks on the opposite side. It is the lake with the highest altitude, the widest lake surface and the deepest lake water in Jiuzhaigou.

I went to Jiuzhaigou five years ago before the earthquake. Although it was the off-season during the Qingming Festival, there were still crowds of people and the scenery was still picturesque. I will definitely go back in late autumn to feel the charm of Jiuzhaigou.

Because Jiuzhaigou is still in the earthquake recovery period, only 2,000 people are allowed to enter the park every day. Tickets are issued by real name, and tours are conducted by special cars and special guides. Basically, you can enter the park at 9 o'clock and leave the park at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Although the scenery is damaged, it is better because there are fewer people. The VIP treatment is just like this~

When I woke up early, there was fog on the mountain, like a fairyland. Everyone lined up to enter the park. Everyone will be arranged in a sightseeing car. They will also take this car for the subsequent tours, and there will be a tour guide to arrange the time for sightseeing.

Walking and taking photos along the way, the scenery is very beautiful, but along the way you can see the disasters caused by earthquakes. You will feel the beauty of nature and fear the occurrence of disasters. We humans must protect nature more, so that nature will give back its beauty to everyone~

Since the scenic spot currently limits the number of visitors to 2,000 per day and requires online ticket booking, you can simply swipe your ID card when entering the scenic spot. After entering the parking lot, there will be several scenic sightseeing buses waiting for you on the roadside, with about 20 people in each bus, and each bus will be equipped with a beautiful female tour guide. "In spring, the river water is as green as blue" seems to be universally applicable to every lake in Jiuzhaigou.

After the tour guide bought the tickets, we went directly into the scenic area. There were a lot of people (the tour guide said that it would be even more terrible in October). There are many opinions on how to visit Jiuzhaigou on the Internet, such as which gully to go first, which gully to go next, etc. In fact, in my personal opinion, unless you plan to visit for 2 days, if you only have 1 day, don’t think too much, just get on the sightseeing bus and go~ Jiuzhaigou is full of beautiful scenery. Moreover, the more important reason is that the sightseeing bus station is terribly crowded. When the bus comes, you just squeeze on. The bus is said to be dispatched on the spot, and there is no designated gully. The bus we got on first stopped at the Tiger Lake in Shuzheng Valley. After getting off the bus and walking through the two lakes, we got out and continued to get on the bus (there is a sightseeing bus at the tourist center of the scenic area). (The bus map is free and clearly marks which stations you can get on and off). This time the bus goes directly to Swan Lake in Rizegou, and you get off at Swan Lake. If you want to go to the virgin forest, you have to wait for the bus at the place where you get off (some buses can go directly to the virgin forest, it depends on your luck). Because my father-in-law is carsick, we didn't go to the virgin forest (a little disappointed). We walked down from Swan Lake, looking around as we walked, and got on the bus when we saw a station. We came all the way to Nuorilang. It was lunch time, so we had instant noodles and then took the bus to Changhai in Zechawagou, and then walked to Wucai Pool.

After visiting the Five Color Pools, we took the bus down (on the way, you will pass the Upper and Lower Seasonal Seas. These two lakes have something to see only when there is enough water. If you see that there is not much water on the bus, it is recommended that you do not get off).

Return to Nuorilang, or take a bus directly back to Shuzhenggou to see Shuzheng Waterfall and the village. After going down all the way, it is almost time to leave the scenic area. I believe that this day's hard work is worth it. Jiuzhaigou has many things worth your careful aftertaste.

1. About lunch: There is a restaurant called Nuorilang in the scenic area, and there are some small vendors selling instant noodles near some lakes, all for 15 yuan each. If you plan to eat instant noodles, it is recommended that you do not go to Nuorilang, as there are too many people. If the time is almost the same, just eat at any lake.

2. It is recommended not to bring instant noodles into the scenic area unless you bring your own hot water. The scenic area does not provide hot water, so it is useless to bring it in.
