Reed Sea in Jiuzhaigou

Late autumn in Jiuzhaigou is like a spilled palette of colors 🍁, and the Reed Sea at the end of October is breathtakingly beautiful! This genuine travel experience is shared with you who are about to set off～

🚩Must-visit spots:
📍Reed Sea: On October 25th, the Reed Sea is a complete golden ocean (located downstream of Spark Sea). The way it glistens under the sunlight is amazing! Be sure to enter the park before 2 PM, as the light is softest then and every shot is a masterpiece 📸

📍Five Flower Lake: The legendary "essence of Jiuzhaigou," with lake water showing a gradient of emerald and sapphire blue. It’s best to arrive around 10 AM when the sunlight hits directly for the most beautiful colors.

📍Long Lake: The highest lake in Jiuzhaigou. By the end of October, frost starts to form on the shore, and the reflection of blue ice and snow-capped mountains is stunning ❄️

📍Nuorilang Waterfall: The water flow is still abundant this season. It’s recommended to wear non-slip shoes, and you can see rainbows in the mist 🌈

🍂Practical tips:
1⃣ The park implements segmented crowd control; it’s best to enter right when it opens at 7:30 AM (Address: Provincial Road 301, Zhangzha Town, Jiuzhaigou County, Aba Prefecture)
2⃣ The 280 RMB ticket includes the sightseeing bus fee. Remember to book in advance on the "Aba Tourism Network"
3⃣ The temperature difference at the end of October is huge! Wear beautiful clothes for photos inside, but definitely put on a down jacket outside
4⃣ Bring enough snacks! The only restaurant inside the park is at the Nuorilang Service Center (and it’s expensive)

📸Photo tips:
✔️ The best photo spot at Reed Sea is 500 meters back after getting off at the sightseeing bus "Reed Sea Station"
✔️ Wearing white or red clothes makes the best photos
✔️ After 3 PM, the light is best for portraits
