Lose yourself in the beauty of nature’s

Jiuzhaigou is stunning year-round, but I recommend you to go in autumn (September–November) because it is especially famous for its vibrant fall foliage, when you can see the reflection of mountains and trees in the valley.

If you have time it is recommended to travel for 3 days at minimum to fully enjoy the valley without feeling rushed
