The Current State of Jiuding Mountain Under Siege by Tens of Thousands – I Really Don't Want to Come Back!

Third Visit to Jiuding Mountain🌄
I'm seriously never coming again!🙅‍♀️

This time was truly terrifying...
Each visit has more people than the last, and this weekend was absolutely a "tens of thousands siege" level.
Friends planning to go on weekends, think carefully!

🅿️About Parking:
Zero management whatsoever😓
Traffic jam uphill: at least 3 hours
Same nightmare going downhill

🚶‍♀️About Hiking:
Up the mountain? Crowded and slow.
Down the mountain? Even worse.
It’s basically a massive morning workout session💦

BUT! The scenery is absolutely breathtaking!
🌸Alpine flower fields so beautiful they take your breath away
☁️Rolling sea of clouds like a fairyland
📸Every shot is insta-worthy

Tips:
1️⃣Aim for perfect weather (check forecasts in advance)
2️⃣Avoid weekends if possible (weekend warriors, ignore this😭)
3️⃣Non-slip shoes are a MUST (don’t ask how I know)

📍Location: Jiuding Mountain, Maoxian County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan
🎫Ticket: Free (completely wild scenic spot)

✨Despite all the complaints...
If you’ve never been,
Go while it’s still... somewhat manageable!
