Day

Day 1: The original plan was to go to Qingmuchuan Ancient Town on the first day, but there was some traffic jam on the road that delayed the time and temporarily canceled the trip

Day 2: Zhaohua Ancient Town is free of money, and the attractions in the ancient town require tickets. If you buy online, you need to buy it an hour in advance

What

are the examination booths for the attractions of Zhaohua Ancient Town County Yamen Confucius Temple There is a commentary on the official public account

From Zhaohua Ancient Town to Huanglong, we chose a road in very poor condition Pingsong Road, if you go, it is recommended not to take the road from Pingwu to Huanglong, the road conditions are very bad, if you rush here, it is generally dark, there are many sections of the road have road subsidence, or are destroyed by landslides, if you are not careful, you may scrape the chassis.

Huanglong has a relatively high altitude, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, so if you go, it is recommended to bring a thicker winter coat, and if you are afraid of altitude sickness, you can eat rhodiola rosea a few days in advance.

Day 3: Huanglong is above 3,000 above sea level, climbing the mountain may be more difficult It is recommended to make a cable car to go up to the colorful pond first, and then hike down the mountain. If you are driving, you can bring trekking poles to go down the mountain more easily. You also have to take sun protection measures when going up the mountain, wear a hat and sunglasses

Huanglong's altitude is relatively high, and the drone consumes electricity faster. Since it is the dry season, there is almost no water in other scenes except for the colorful pond, but because it snowed for a week before we went, we should look at the snow scene.

Songzhou Ancient Town is relatively modern, and I personally don't think it's very

interesting

Day 4: On the fourth day, I arrived at Jiuzhaigou, which I had been longing for. When I was a child, I came to Jiuzhaigou once, but it was too small at that time, and the impression was not very deep, but I remember that the water in Jiuzhaigou was very beautiful. I saw the news before that Jiuzhaigou was rebuilt after the earthquake, and I always thought it was the Wenchuan earthquake in 08. Later, I found out that it was an earthquake on August 8, 17. It does have a great impact on Jiuzhaigou, and so far all scenic spots have not been repaired. The longest ditch before has now become the shortest.

For the same reason as Huanglong, there are many fewer attractions to see during the dry season. There is no water directly in the upper and lower seasons, and there is only one pool bottom left in the colorful pool, which affects the experience a little.

The former main gate of Jiuzhaigou is also being repaired, and the current temporary gate is placed near the Zao Banquet Dance. After coming out of Jiuzhaigou, the bus does not go to the pick-up point, and the parking point is one or two kilometers away from the Zangwang banquet and dance parking lot, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk, or take a local taxi. This greatly affects the travel experience.

but overall it's good. Now the highway to Jiuzhaigou is also being built, and if it is opened to traffic, I will go to see the winter scenery again. I also hope that the restoration of Jiuzhaigou will be completed as soon as possible, and the attitude of welcoming visitors from all over the world will be welcomed in the past.

Day 5: The road from Jiuzhaigou to Guangyuan will pass through Bikou (known as Longshang Xiaojiangnan) in Gansu, and you can taste Bikou's pincer fish, which is a specialty of Bikou that is not found anywhere else.

The scenery of Jianmen Pass is not bad, but the scenic spots are a bit too scattered as a whole. If you want to climb the mountain and see the Guanlou, it is not a good arrangement. The exits of the scenic spot are connected by private buses.

Tickets There are many discounts for online buying in hotels, so you need to do your homework in advance and shop around. Now during the epidemic, tickets cannot be bought on site. Jiuzhaigou also needs to do face recognition collection in advance.

ps1 When I went to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong before, there would be intermittent power outages in the local area, so local hotels and shops would be equipped with generators, so in order not to delay the trip or affect the travel, you still have to bring a power bank, if there are many things that need to be charged, or if you bring a computer, you can bring a portable power strip
