All the stunning Jiuzhaigou scenery that can't fit into your nine-grid Moments post is right here!📸  
October 14, weather: sunny turning to cloudy 🌤️ 12-22℃  
Step count: 25,000 ⛰️  
🧥 Outfit tips:  
Knitted top + fleece-lined outdoor jacket + outdoor pants  
(Warm and photogenic! Large temperature difference between morning and evening, so bring a jacket)  
✨ Super practical travel tips:  
1️⃣ Don’t start snapping photos wildly at first sight! The first lake is beautiful, but the views get even better later! Manage your energy well to hit the highlights in one day~🏃  
2️⃣ The park’s shuttle service is very professional! It’s better to wait 2 minutes for the last bus 🚌 than to squeeze and stand! The mountain roads are winding, sitting is more comfortable and helps you recover energy.  
3️⃣ Shuttle bus guide✔️:  
Get off at Shuzheng Village ➡️  
If you have good stamina, rush to the viewing platform 👆  
If tired, walk the boardwalk 👇  
Stroll from Tiger Lake to Rhino Lake shuttle stop 🐅  
On the return trip, you can get off at Penjing Beach to enjoy the Reed Sea 🌾  
4️⃣ Priority for sightseeing routes:  
Right line > Middle line > Left line  
Must-visit TOP 5💎:  
1. Five Flower Lake  
2. Pearl Shoal Waterfall  
3. Arrow Bamboo Lake  
4. Colorful Pool  
5. Shuzheng Group Lakes  
5️⃣ The highest point, Changhai Lake, is at 3,080 meters 🏔️  
Tested with no altitude sickness, even more comfortable than the park shuttle!  
But please go at your own physical pace~  
6️⃣ Hidden food gem at Nuorilang Center:  
The halal restaurant is super delicious 😋  
Best part: fewer people and no waiting for the restroom!!  
The staff are very responsible and will stop smoking if they see it 👍  
🍁 About 1,300 acres of forest sea, the seven-colored waters look like a fairy tale world~  
Recommended visit duration: 1-2 days  
Best viewing season: September to November (most beautiful when the forest is ablaze with color!)  
Address: Jiuzhaigou County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province
