Live Your Best Lives
I heard that there was no heaven in this world, but later God created heaven according to the appearance of Jiuzhaigou!
I have been looking forward to Jiuzhaigou for many years, and I used to see a lot of photos and pictures, and I thought that there is still such a beautiful place in this world? Later, on August 8, 2017, Jiuzhaigou earthquake occurred and was closed until September 2019, but I have not been able to see it
Thenew crown epidemic broke out, and I was watching the news at home every day, and I really felt that human beings were too small in nature! No one knows when the accident will happen and whether you will have a chance to do what you want to do tomorrow.
I learned that the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area was reopened on 3.31, so I discussed with my friends, let's take advantage of the time to see Jiuzhaigou!
Because of the epidemic, we plan to travel to western Sichuan by car, which is safer and freer.
So after reading this travelogue, you can also understand what kind of experience it is to have a group of like-minded friends! At least, they can accompany you to escape from life and pursue the happiness you want without hesitation!
We first flew from Changzhou to Chengdu, rented a car in Chengdu and walked in the direction of western Sichuan. Before departure, you need:
1. Apply for a local health code on Alipay in advance, that is, "Tianfu Health Pass"
2. Book tickets for Jiuzhaigou and Dagu Glacier Scenic Area online in advance.
Attractions in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture need to be booked before 18:00 one day in advance, and there is no on-site ticket sales during the period when they are just open, and you can't get in without booking tickets in advance.
3. Masks and other protective products.
Please note that alcohol-based hand sanitizer and wipes cannot be brought on the plane! At present, airports and other places must wear masks to enter, and body temperature should be measured, and pay attention to early departure.
4. Car rental
We were a group of 6 people and rented a Buick GL8 on China-TravelNote in advance. Perhaps because of the epidemic, the car rental price is very affordable, and the 5-day rent + insurance is only more than 1,200.
When we arrived, the staff would pick us up at the airport and take us to the car rental shop for formalities. The store is conveniently located near the airport.
day of arrival, I stayed in Chengdu for one night, and the hotel chose the "Blue City Yuexing Hot Spring Food Hotel", which is very close to Kuanzhai Alley.
In addition to showing the health code and measuring body temperature, each person also has to fill in the health commitment form, scan the code to query the action path, and must put on shoe covers when entering and leaving the hotel, which also made my favorability for this hotel immediately rise. However, due to the consideration of epidemic prevention, the hotel did not turn on the central air conditioner, but fortunately, the weather in Chengdu was not cold ......
The hotel has free snacks every afternoon, just this free dan dan noodles, I almost swallowed my tongue when it was delicious......
Thehot spring is on the 8th floor of the hotel, relatively small, No photos were taken.
Affected by the epidemic, the original hotel of about 500 a night was only more than 200 when we booked it, which is really cost-effective
Take a short break and walk to the wide and narrow alleys. As a Jiangnan girl, I have seen too many ancient towns and streets, and in comparison, the wide and narrow alleys are not surprising to me at all......
It consists of three small boxes: wide alleys, narrow alleys and well boxes, and there are many snack bars and specialty shops in the alleys, so it is also good to stroll around.
When I was tired of walking, I found a small teahouse, sat down to drink a cup of tea, and felt the slow pace of old Chengdu, which was quite leisurely~
WhenI arrived in Chengdu, Food is certainly a big theme, which is why we chose to live in this area.
Before leaving, we understood clearly that Jianshe Road and Kuixinglou Street are more authentic snack streets than Jinli. So in the evening, we decisively checked in the first place of the local Internet celebrity ranking version of "Pepper Hot Skewers"
Delicious is really delicious, spicy is also really spicy, I really don't know why Chengdu girls eat this spicy and oily delicacy every day, why the skin is so good, it's really white and bright~
As a foodie with big eyes and a big belly, how can you be satisfied just by eating skewers?It doesn't matter, come out and walk along the street, you will find that the whole street is full of snacks
This wrapped tofu wall crack recommendation, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, eat it with mixed vegetables, How can a word ...... a fragrant word
?Note: There is houttuynia (folded ear root) in the salad, if you are not used to eating it, remember to tell the store in advance
The milk tea I bought on the side of the road actually felt like I had thrown away the happy tea on several streets~~
Finally, I packed a serving of ice powder and prepared to go back to the hotel to eat while soaking in the hot springs...... This blingbling appearance greatly satisfied my girlish heart~
After eating and drinking, I remembered that Chengdu's landmark buildings have not yet been checked in...... It's the Taikoo Li on Chunxi Road with a panda and many beauties~~
Because I was really too full, the group planned to ride a shared bicycle for a stroll~ The temperature in Chengdu in March is higher than that of Changzhou, and the wind is warm, so it is also a very romantic thing to ride a bicycle on the streets of Chengdu~
Chunxi Road is worthy of being the fashion center of Chengdu, many super beautiful and handsome young ladies and little brothers~ Because it was late, we took a look outside, I didn't go into the mall~ But it looks like a gathering place for first-line brands in Chengdu!
day after arriving in Sichuan, we went all the way north to Jiuzhaigou early in the morning!
Chengdu-Jiuzhaigou, the normal driving time is 8-9 hours, and the road conditions are good all the way. However, when it comes to the Wenchuan section, there is a testing station at the highway entrance, and each car must first take the registration card, and then take everyone's ID card and health code to register one by one.
It is worth mentioning that the registration is filled in manually, so the speed is relatively slow, and it took about 3 hours to complete the ......
Because of the long delay, I ate a bowl of rice noodles in the roadside town at noon and continued on my way.
The closer you get to Jiuzhaigou, the altitude gradually increases, and the scenery along the road slowly changes! Sometimes you can see snow-capped mountains and snow, although it is March in spring, but it feels like you have entered the world of ice and snow.
Finally, we set off at 9:30 in the morning, and at 10 o'clock in the evening we arrived at Jiuzhaigou. After a full 12 hours of driving, everyone was exhausted. There are many hotels at Jiuzhaigou, but despite the air conditioning, it is still very cold here. In the evening, we asked the hotel for another quilt, and then we felt that we could fall asleep ......
Tickets have been booked in advance, and you can enter the park with your ID card the next day. Due to the epidemic, the current tour of scenic spots is in the order of the scenic delivery arrangement, with the purpose of dispersing tourists. And because of the 88 earthquake, Jiuzhaigou is currently only open to Wuhuahai, and many scenic spots are still being repaired.
The origin of the name of Jiuzhaigou is because there are 9 Tibetan villages in it, and Tibetans still live in it, living in a fairyland, and it is happy to think about it~
When I got to Jiuzhaigou, I really didn't know that the water could be so blue. The lake on the mountain, because of calcification, presents a transparent blue like amber~ Reflecting the blue sky and the mountains and forests on both sides, this is probably what heaven should look like~ But to be honest, the damage caused by the 88 earthquake to Jiuzhaigou is still quite large, plus spring is the dry season, Sunset Lang Waterfall has no water, and the most beautiful colorful pond is also like a small pond, with less water~ If you can, it is still recommended that you come in summer and autumn, of course, the advantage of going now is that there are fewer people, and it is easy to take pictures~ Hahaha......
visiting Jiuzhaigou, we drove towards Heishui Town from 15:30 in the afternoon, and the next stop: Dagu Glacier
However, our overestimation of the road conditions to Heishui is really quite complicated...... The mountain road is very tortuous, for the sake of safety, we had to temporarily change our route and first detour to Mao County for one night
Perhaps this is the charm of travel, the world is full of suspense the moment you set off.
Originally, everyone was worried that this small county would definitely not eat well and live well, so they casually booked a hotel for about 100 yuan on the Internet, and we were all dumbfounded when we arrived...... This is also a great value~ The hotel is very new, it is a mountain villa, the style is simple log style, and the room has a terrace! I have a new understanding of more than 100 hotels, hahaha
Thesecond surprise is that the owner of the villa gave us a barbecue restaurant known as the number one in Mao County, and it is said that the proprietress is an Internet celebrity. I have always insisted on traveling, and I must eat and live well, of course, I have to check in.
Seeing the chubby and smiling and super familiar proprietress lady, I finally understood what it means to be "a girl who loves to laugh will not be bad"! The business in the store is very good, and the proprietress will chat with every table of guests and help with the barbecue herself.
Thetaste of barbecue really kills all the Korean barbecue we usually eat, pork belly grilled until crispy and fragrant, dipped in pea flour and homemade spicy powder in the store, not fat or greasy, very fragrant~
An unexpected stay in a small county, because we met interesting people and ate surprising food, we no longer complained about the previous road obstacles and long
having breakfast in Mao County, We have to rush to Dagu Glacier non-stop, I can't wait to unravel the mystery of this billion-year-old glacier
Theroad to Heishui County is really bumpy, once again, Aba Prefecture recommends self-driving or chartered cars!! If I take a bus, I will get motion sickness on the spot and die ......
lifeIt was already 3:30 pm when we arrived at Dagu Glacier, and we became the last wave of tourists to make an appointment to enter the park that day!
Dagu Glacier is the closest glacier to the city in China, and has been formed for hundreds of millions of years.In 35-36, more than 90,000 Red Army troops crossed the Dagu Snow Mountain and held the famous political conference at the foot of the mountain, the Maoergai Conference.
After entering the scenic spot, you have to take a 50-minute scenic bus to the foot of the snow-capped mountains! Along the way, you can see a lot of monkeys on the side of the road, probably because there were no tourists feeding during the epidemic, and they all came down the mountain to find food.
There will be two lakes on the way, because of the high altitude in western Sichuan, the lakes are emerald, under the reflection of the blue sky, white clouds and snow-capped mountains, it is not as beautiful as the scenery of the world.
At the foot of the snow-capped mountain, you also need to take the cable car up the mountain.
I have taken the cable car many times, some across the mountain and one across the sea, but this is the first time I have crossed the snow-capped mountain! And I was actually afraid of heights, looking down at the vast white expanse, and the sound of the wind, the 20-minute cable car made me ...... frightened
Dagu Glacier is known as the Little Switzerland of the East, and I don't know why when I go up to the top of the mountain...... After all, I have never been to Switzerland, but on the top of Dagu Snow Mountain, I entered the world of ice and snow fairy tales in one second
On the 4860-meter-high snow-capped mountain, there is a vast white in the eye. Girls who love to take pictures will definitely like it, because you can make a blockbuster by taking it casually.
There is also one of the loneliest cafes in the world, where girls like me who rely on oxygen cylinders to maintain their strength can go in and have a cup of coffee and inhale oxygen by the way.
The overall tour time of Dagu Glacier is only 2-3 hours, because the altitude is too high and the temperature is too low, we basically withdrew after taking pictures!
glacier, we are going to set off for the last stop of this self-driving trip to western Sichuan, which is also what I am most looking forward to - Guergou Hot Spring Hotel!
You may not understand that a hotel is a destination. That's right! My personal attitude towards travel has always been to put feelings first, happiness and comfort are the most important!
The hot springs in Güergou have always been famous, and Ramada is an Internet celebrity, which has been planted by many tourism experts in its infinity hot spring pool, and the last stop of the journey is just to eliminate the fatigue and dust along the way.
We stayed in a flower field wooden house, which had several rooms in each separate log cabin, each with a small private bath.
There was no schedule the next day, I slept until I woke up naturally, had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, and went to the beautiful bath~~
Unfortunately, the weather was bad that day, and I couldn't see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, but just like I like to eat ice cream in an air-conditioned room in winter, soaking in the hot springs in the cold air is more enjoyable than indoors~
the trip to western Sichuan was satisfactory, but I asked if I would go a second time. My answer is: no!
Some scenery is enough to see once! For the rest of my life, I want to enjoy more beautiful scenery!
It is expected that on July 3, I will depart for the Qinggan Grand Ring Road to visit the holy place in my heart, Hoh Xili.
A lot of things are like traveling, when you make a decision and take the first step, the hardest part is actually done.
