As someone who's been there, I must say avoiding crowds makes the experience absolutely magical! You can quietly admire Jiuzhaigou's scenery—it feels like having an entire fairyland to yourself~

When you actually stand on this land and gaze at the mountains and lakes, they sparkle like sapphires scattered across the earth 💎, dazzling and breathtaking. Every photo you take is bound to dominate your social feed. Here’s your dry season Jiuzhaigou guide—just follow it for a smooth and enjoyable trip!

☁ Weather & Outfits for May–June
🔹 Weather: Temperatures range from 5~25°C, with chilly mornings and evenings. It’s also the rainy season, so the weather can change suddenly—umbrella or raincoat 🌂 is a must unless you want to get soaked.
🔹 Outfits: Opt for a windbreaker or lightweight down jacket for warmth and practicality. Layer with spring/summer T-shirts, pair with long pants, and wear anti-slip sneakers for comfort and safety. Don’t forget sunglasses 🕶 and a sun hat for strong UV protection. For the ladies, pretty dresses or skirts are great, but consider leggings or long pants underneath for warmth and style. Bright-colored outfits make photos pop!
