Be sure to visit Jiuzhaigou in the fall! The lakes here are crystal clear, sparkling under the sunlight, surrounded by colorful forests and snow-capped mountains—absolutely breathtaking 🥹
📍Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area
Address: Provincial Road 301, Zhangzha Town, Jiuzhaigou County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture
Opening Hours: 7:30 AM - 6:00 PM (last entry at 2:00 PM)
Tickets: 160 RMB/person (peak season)
🌟Must-visit spots:
1⃣️ Five-Color Pool: Like a palette spilled by the gods, it shows different colors depending on the light
2⃣️ Changhai Lake: The largest lake in Jiuzhaigou, perfect for stunning reflections when standing by the shore
3⃣️ Nuorilang Waterfall: Filming location for "Journey to the West," with a powerful and impressive flow
4⃣️ Reed Sea: Golden reeds in autumn contrast sharply with the blue lake water
🏠 Accommodation tips:
It’s recommended to stay near the valley entrance, close to the scenic area gate, so you can enter early the next day. We stayed at Jiuzhaigou Paradise Intercontinental Hotel, which has great environment and service!
🍜 Food recommendations:
Be sure to try Tibetan-style hot pot and yak meat, and the barley cakes are also delicious. Tibetan restaurants near Luneng Town are good and reasonably priced.
⚠️ Travel tips:
1. Large temperature difference between morning and evening, remember to bring a thick jacket
2. The scenic area is at high altitude, it’s advisable to bring some Rhodiola supplements
3. Wear comfortable sneakers as there’s a lot of walking
4. Best photography times are before 10 AM and after 3 PM
Autumn in Jiuzhaigou is truly stunning—every snapshot looks like a masterpiece! It’s recommended to plan 2-3 days for an in-depth visit, no need to rush~
