Live Your Best Lives
, life is short. Most people's lives are to grow up gradually, first go to school and study, then participate in work, go to society, run for firewood, rice, oil and salt, and then slowly grow old. Sometimes you have to rest, sometimes you don't want to move, sometimes you get sick, and there is actually very little time left for tourism and leisure. If you only had one chance to travel domestically, where would you go? My choice - Jiuzhaigou! This is a rare masterpiece of nature, and our country is currently the only scenic tourist area with three international laurels: "World Natural Heritage", "World Biosphere Reserve" and "Green Global 21".
By chance, I came to the fairy tale world Jiuzhaigou three times in May 2005, August 2007 and February 2011, and had the honor to watch the Changhai, Mirror Sea, Arrow Bamboo Sea, Spark Sea, Colorful Pond, Pearl Beach, Shuzheng Sea, Nuorilang Waterfall, Goddess of Color Statue and other scenic spots, enjoy the Zangwang banquet dance, participate in the "Into the Collector" activity, the beautiful natural scenery is intoxicating, and the rich Tibetan and Qiang customs are evocative. These days, I have free money, looking at photos from many years ago, the tour seems to have just happened, and I am happy that I can visit such a beautiful place many times. Looking at the scenery of the three seasons in contrast, I feel that I love this place more than once.
Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is located in Nanping County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, more than 400 kilometers away from Chengdu, and is named after the surrounding 9 Tibetan villages. Many tourists use Chengdu as a transit point to go to the scenic spot by car or plane.
These three times my mode of transportation: one took flight CA4471 from Chengdu, arrived at Jiuhuang Airport in 45 minutes, and then took a bus to the scenic spot in an hour and a half; Once from Chengdu by car along the Min River from the west line, passing through Dujiangyan, Wenchuan, Maoxian and Songpan to the scenic spot, the whole journey took more than 8 hours; Once I walked part of the eastern route, through Guanghan and Deyang, visited Sanxingdui, and then did not continue to take the eastern route to Mianyang and Pingwu, but turned west to north to Beichuan and Maoxian, and passed through Songpan to the scenic spot, the whole journey took more than 9 hours.

the eighteen bends of the mountain road, and when you reach the nine turns, the scenic spot is almost there.
trip to Jiuzhaigou was very hard, and I was full of emotion when I thought of the comfort in Chengdu.
along the Yunnan River in Sichuan is a our country earthquake-prone area. On August 25, 1933, a strong earthquake of magnitude 7.5 occurred in Diexi Town, between Songpan and Mao County in Sichuan, causing landslides on both sides of the Min River, blocking the river channel and forming an earthquake lake.
In 2011, I saw the site of the May 12, 2008 Wenchuan earthquake along the way, and felt more and more precious.
The speed of the plane ride in 2007 was much faster, but I couldn't appreciate the cultural scenery along the way. There is something to gain, and there must be a loss.
The Jiuzhaigou tour route is composed of three main ditches in the shape of "Y", namely Shuzheng Ditch, Rize Ditch and Zecha Wa Ditch, and the intersection point is Nuorilang Central Station. The attractions of Rize Gou are concentrated in the lower section of the Arrow Bamboo Sea, including the Arrow Bamboo Sea, the Panda Sea, the Five Flowers Sea, the Pearl Beach, the Mirror Sea, as well as the primeval forest above, the Swan Sea and the Nuorilang Waterfall below. The scenic spots of Shuzhenggou are located in the section from Rhino Sea to Bonsai Beach, including Rhino Sea, Tiger Sea, Shuzheng Waterfall, Spark Sea, Reed Sea, Bonsai Beach, etc. The main attractions of Zecha Wagou are the long sea and colorful ponds.
There are environmentally friendly sightseeing cars between the main attractions, you can take a car, or you can walk along the plank road, most people are a combination of walking and car, while walking, watching, Combine work and rest.
Scenic spot tickets and eco-friendly sightseeing tickets are linked. Tickets and tickets are 80 yuan/person each in the off-season (November 16 to March 31 of the following year), and 220 yuan and 90 yuan in the peak season. The ticket has a map printed on it, text descriptions of the main attractions, and a guide on the car, so you don't have to ask the tour guide to explain it specifically.
The entire scenic spot can be played in one day, or it can be two or three days...... Personally, I think that in addition to photography enthusiasts, one day is enough, and it is easy to get aesthetic fatigue after spending a long time in it. Tickets in the off-season are valid for two days, and tickets must be purchased every day in the ditch during the peak season (since 2013, during holidays such as the "Eleventh" Golden Week, the scenic spot will limit the number of tourists according to the actual situation, and the upper limit of ticket sales is 41,000）。 I visited the scenic spot three times, all for one day. At 7 o'clock in the morning, take a car from the hotel to Goukou, transfer to the scenic environmental protection car to Nuorilang Central Station, and then transfer to another environmental protection car, follow the left or right of the "Y" to the highest point, and take the car all the way down. Eat at Norilang Center Station at noon, then visit the other side of the "Y" and leave around 4:30 p.m., the whole journey takes about 7 hours.
All three tours avoided the big waves of tourists at the peak of the peak season, and the journey was quiet and peaceful. The scenery is indeed beautiful, the water flows between the trees, the trees grow in the water, colorful, colorful, brilliant and fantastic. "Jiuzhai returns without looking at the water" is well-deserved, and now when it comes to Jiuzhaigou, the green is always shaking in front of my eyes.
This is a well-managed, excellent service, very mature scenic spot, the plank road runs through various scenic spots, it is very comfortable to walk, there are few long steps section, no need to climb up continuously. The bathroom is very clean, and there is no toilet difficulty common in general scenic spots. It is best suited for sunny days, the better the sun, the more colors can be fully presented. As some netizens said, if it weren't for the "remoteness" and "unpalatable", Jiuzhaigou would be perfect.
There is no doubt that Jiuzhaigou in autumn is the most beautiful. I have seen photos of my family during their autumn trip, under the clear blue sky, the five-colored forest and the green mountains and clear waters complement each other, picturesque and dreamlike. But there are many tourists, and you can see the "mountain" and "sea" (crowds of people) at the same time. Next time you have a chance, I'll join in the fun.
The scenery in spring and summer is similar, and there is less water in winter, and the sea is very chic, which is worth seeing.
Jiuzhaigou is at an altitude of 2000-3200 meters, and there is generally no altitude sickness. The sun is strong, sun protection is required, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Many people will also go to Huanglong to play in Jiuzhaigou. The two places are more than 140 kilometers apart, where the altitude is higher, and the Huanglong Temple at the top is 3,558 meters above sea level, and there will be dizziness.
Okay, start sending specific photos of the attractions. The same scenic spot, spring and summer are in front, full of vitality and lushness, and you can tell at a glance; In winter, there are more dead branches, snow or ice.Order: Arrow Bamboo Sea, Panda Sea, Five Flowers Sea, Pearl Beach, Mirror Sea, Changhai, Colorful Pond, Nuorilang Waterfall, Rhino Sea, Shuzheng Sea, Spark Sea, Reed Sea, Goddess of Color, Bonsai Beach. The camera of more than ten years ago is not comparable to the current one, please be more tolerant of the picture quality.
▼ The sea of arrow bamboo is named after the arrow bamboo that giant pandas like to eat around it. The water surface is open and long, the water is blue, and the reflection is vivid.
▼ Panda Sea, adjacent to the Arrow Bamboo Sea, it is said that giant pandas like to come here to wander, drink water, and forage, so it is called Panda Sea.
▼ The sea of five flowers resembles a peacock with an open screen, bright and colorful.
A cold-water fish unique to Jiuzhaigou, which can grow in extremely cold environments.
Five Flowers Sea from a distance, I saw two colors: blue and green.
▼ Pearl Beach, the place where Tang monks and apprentices wade through the water at the beginning of the TV series "Journey to the West".
Pearl Beach Waterfall is crescent-shaped, 162.5 meters wide, 21 meters high, and has a maximum drop of 40 meters. It is obvious that the amount of water in spring and summer is much higher than in winter.
▼ Mirror Sea, the best viewing time is on days when there is no wind, and the level is like a mirror.
▼ Changhai, located at the end of Zecha Wagou, is distributed in an "S" shape and is the largest sea in Jiuzhaigou. It freezes in winter.
▼ Colorful pool, the pool water comes from the long sea, penetrates through groundwater, maintains a constant temperature all year round, will not freeze, and the whole pool water is blue-green and blue-green. Forgive me, I came 3 times and didn't see 5 colors.
▼ Nuorilang Waterfall, which is also the filming location of Journey to the West, is 300 meters wide and is the widest waterfall in China. Unfortunately, the camera is not so tall that it cannot record that kind of breadth. You see, it's still winter-season-water-less! Remember that Norilang Waterfall is a transit point, the only place in the scenic area that serves lunch.
▼ Rhino Sea, the second largest sea after Changhai.
▼ Tiger Sea, there are not many tourists, relatively quiet.
▼ The tree is in the sea, composed of 19 seas, like a string of turquoise jade inlaid in the deep mountains and valleys, forming a spectacle of "trees grow in the water, and water flows in the forest". I like it the most, and I stopped for a long time on all three tours to feel the long ......
▼ The sea of sparks, it is said that the best time to enjoy it is when the sun is slanting, and I have not encountered the slanting light several times, and I see an ordinary sea.
Spark Sea Waterfall
▼ In the sea of reeds, I saw a clear stream meandering through the reeds.
▼ The statue of the goddess of sex, on the rock wall opposite the sea of reeds, the goddess lowered her eyebrows and nodded, warm and affectionate. It is said that if you can see the goddess avatar at a glance, it means that you are taking "peach blossom luck", and the love scene is smooth sailing.
▼ Bonsai Beach is like a big bonsai.
This way, the day's trip is over. In the evening, you can watch the ethnic performance "Tibetan King Banquet Dance", with a ticket price of 150 yuan, Tibetan songs and dances, Tibetan and Qiang traditional costume displays, etc., and you can interact with the actors on stage after the end.
You can also walk into the collector and feel the local customs.
To borrow a sentence as an ending: Every day we live now is the youngest day in the rest of our lives. Please don't age too quickly, but understand too late. While you can walk, walk away, and afford to walk, feel the beauty of the world more. Those great rivers and mountains with sights, plays, and food, are waiting for you!
Thanks for reading. Tashi Dele!
