【Itinerary】
Day 1-2: Chengdu City Walk🚶
🏨 Accommodation: It is recommended to choose a hotel near Metro Line 2 or 3. We stayed at Jinjiang Inn (Kuanzhai Alley Baiguolin Metro Station Branch)
📍 Address: No. 23 Wenhua Road
✨ Advantages: Direct access to Metro Line 2 / Surrounded by delicious food / Excellent value for money!
Day 3-4: Jiuzhaigou Wonderland Tour🏞️
🏨 Accommodation: It is recommended to stay above the Jiuzhaigou scenic area to avoid the most congested roads and to facilitate exiting Jiuzhaigou. We chose a hotel at the bottom of the valley, but it was very congested, so you have to get up early.

🎫 Ticket Price: 280 RMB
Travel Tips: The park opens at 7:30 AM. Line up early at the entrance. To avoid visual fatigue, choose a few lakes with unique features to visit. When entering the valley, take the shuttle bus on the left side to see some lakes; when leaving, take the right side to see more lakes.
✨ Tips: Remember to bring your camera! Every lake is a stunning photo opportunity📸
