【Accommodation Section】

🏠 The main accommodation choices in Jiuzhaigou are 'near Ancient Love', 'Jiuzhaigou Entrance', and 'Jiuzhaigou County'.

‼️ For the cost-effectiveness of dining and accommodation conditions, this time we chose 'Delta Hotel' in Jiuzhaigou County.
🏨 It is together with 'Courtyard Hotel', and both have great conditions 👍.

Although the county is 40 minutes away from the scenic area, the cost-effectiveness is really good, and the family is quite satisfied.

I really like the glass roof in the lobby, basking in the sunlight of Jiuzhaigou in the lobby.
The view from the room is also beautiful, with the distant mountain scenery and blue sky and white clouds together, it's wonderful.

🥢 After a day of traveling, the hotel also offers delicious Tibetan-style hot pot.
🚶 After dinner, take a walk, and then have a cocktail in the lobby before going back to the room for a comfortable and quiet sleep.
👍 The breakfast is also very rich, eat to your fill, then carpool to Huanglong Scenic Area to start a day of stunning scenery, awesome 🎉.

‼️ There are also many cars from Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area to the county at night. After a tiring day, staying comfortably in the hotel is a wonderful trip.

💕 The opening of Huanglong Jiuzhai Station is really great, making travel much more convenient than before.
⚠️ Although the weekend two-day trip is quite tiring, it is now possible to travel to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong over the weekend, which was unimaginable before. I hope to go again in the future!!
