Chengdu-Sidoriya-Jiuzhaigou-Huanglong 6 days 5 nights ✈️🇨🇳

Continuing from the previous post!
🌞Day 4 Huanglong Park >> Diexihai Lake >> Dujiangyan Ancient Town - This morning, we took a drive to Huanglong Park (or Yellow Dragon National Park). It's a place where streams flow down from the mountains in layers and rocks have formed into tiered pools. Let me tell you, it's so beautiful! I really wanted to visit, but the ropeway was closed due to snow on the day we went. So, we had to walk up to see it instead. The trail is incredibly beautiful, and each pool offers its own unique angle. If you have time, I recommend strolling and taking photos all day. - In the afternoon, we stopped at Diexihai Lake, which is like a rest stop along the way. There are jamari cows you can ride and take photos of while enjoying the lake view. The price is 50 yuan per person. If you're in Chengdu and love meat, I highly recommend trying the grilled jamari. It's delicious sprinkled with mala powder. - Dujiangyan Ancient Town is a World Heritage Site, with similar products everywhere. There's not much to see here. But we also stopped to take photos at the statue that they said we had to visit.
🌞Day 5 Dujiangyan >> Four Girls Mountain Park >> Songqiao Valley >> Panda Selfie Today, another highlight of the trip was the Four Girls Mountain Park, or Xigunguniang Mountain. We took a four-hour drive from Dujiangyan City to reach the Four Girls Mountains, which also requires a park bus. It's divided into three sections: the first section: Yin-Yang Valley, the Yangtze River Field, and the deepest section: the Glacier, Glass Mountain, Sun-Moon Mountain, Rabbit Peak, and the Nianyuba Grassland. I think nature lovers will love this place. If you're here on your own, I think you could spend the whole day here, but I recommend checking the park's bus schedule carefully to see which buses stop at the stops you want to get off at. P.S. We also stopped to take photos with the panda selfies at night (tourist spot) before checking into the hotel.
🌞Day 6 Jinli Ancient Street >> Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street >> Taiguli Pedestrian Street A day of shopping before our flight back home. Today was the best day to go into the city after spending so much time with nature, lol. I have to say that Chengdu's pedestrian streets and shopping districts look amazing! They're just as developed as Shanghai's. If you want to grab a POP Mart in Chunxi Road, they're in the IFS Building. Everyone's definitely going to take photos of giant pandas climbing the buildings anyway.
🔖Cost: Approximately 28,xxx THB (including guide tips). Personally, I think everything was great! The price, cost of living, delicious food, and the two-and-a-half-hour flight. But you get to see nature, mountains, and lakes that are as beautiful as Europe! It's so worth it! I'm now starting to want to gradually visit all of China!
🌟Recommendations: 1. For those planning a trip, we went in early December, which is low season there, so there weren't many people there, and the photos were amazing! You'll get a sense of the lakes and snow-capped mountains. But if you want to go during what's said to be the most beautiful time, I recommend October during the autumn leaves season, which will be incredibly crowded! 2. For those who are constantly in need of a restroom, you might want to bring a portable bidet. The restrooms in China are...as they say. Some are great, but some, like when you're changing cities, can be a bit crappy. 3. You should! Take medication for altitude sickness: This is from the bottom of my heart. I'm not saying I'm afraid of heights, but I should take it because when you visit tourist attractions, the highlands can cause your body to lack oxygen, causing dizziness, nausea, and vomiting, which can ruin the fun. I took it and it was fine. Plus, bring an oxygen canister. P.S. I took Tibetan ginseng in Thailand before my trip. Tell the shop "Tibetan ginseng" to prevent altitude sickness. They'll understand. I bought it at a Chinese medicine shop in Yaowarat. Or if you're on a tour, the tour guide will also sell red ginseng infusions on the train. This is also great. 4. If you're traveling by high-speed train, I recommend checking the luggage size regulations and booking a seat, or you'll have to stand for a long time.
