Updated: 2020.10.08

so long, I can finally write patiently, and it is also a good choice to travel on non-working days, and this time I successfully avoided the high peak of tourism before the eight-day holiday of the double festival! Lucky!

PS: The introduction of the attractions comes from the Internet

1. Summary

The

reason for choosing Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou is that I want to leave the city and go to nature with few people to breathe fresh air.

2. Travel time

September

18-September 23, 2020

3. Cost

Maybe because the card is before the hot tourist season, air tickets and tour fees are not so expensive, so after the end of all kinds of free spending, the total consumption is 5,000 yuan.

Fourth, equipment

Focus on clothes, the temperature in Chengdu is okay, short-sleeved spare parts and long sleeves to prevent the temperature difference between morning and evening are suitable, Jiuzhaigou is located in a mountainous area, Huanglong is at a high altitude, so you need to prepare a thick coat, there will be no sunshine will be cold and cold, and a jacket with a sandwich can be matched with a long sleeve.

Then there is the altitude, Jiuzhaigou is more than 2,000 is acceptable, Huanglong is more than 3,000 is a little troublesome, don't jump and run, you can't stand it immediately dizzy, headache, of course, there is also stamina after going down to altitude, and there may be high blood pressure, so if you understand your physical condition, it is best to prepare in advance to take some medicine for prevention, reduce strenuous exercise on the day of altitude, and come as much as you can.

5. Itinerary

Considering that the mountain road is not easy to drive and the sightseeing time is uncertain, I chose the local group registration method in Chengdu.

Day02 Chengdu-Huanglong-Songpan 7:00-20:30

Strictly speaking, today is the most tiring day, the driving is basically a day, and the altitude is also high, and the mountain climbing is so tiring that it is exciting.

The straight-line distance from Chengdu to Huanglong is not very far, but the whole road is a winding mountain road, the speed cannot go up, there are many trucks, and accidents that may occur at any time (car accidents, mudslides, road repairs, etc.).

The first thing you see out of Chengdu is Zipingpu Reservoir

Zipingpu Reservoir The misty morning fog surrounds the mountains and

waters Passing by Yingxiu Town and Wenchuan County, which were the hardest hit on May 12, 2008, new buildings have been built and new life has begun, but the pain of history will not be forgotten.

Lunch is settled at Chuanzhu Temple, group meal hot pot, chicken soup pot bottom with various mushrooms and cordyceps flowers, delicious.

Chuanzhusi Town I didn't expect the sky to clear up at noon~

Arrived at Huanglong at 15:30 and started queuing up for the cable car. I didn't expect there to be so many people that I needed to queue, and I thought there were no people at first.

Huanglong Scenic Area There is a queue in a circle. After driving through a tunnel, the sunny day turned cloudy again......

Huanglong Scenic Area is located in Songpan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It covers an area of 700 square kilometers. It is the only well-protected plateau wetland in China, 100 kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou and 1700-5588 meters above sea level.

Huanglong is famous for the "four wonders" of colorful ponds, snow-capped mountains, canyons and forests, plus beach streams, ancient temples, and folk customs called "seven wonders". The scenic spot is composed of Huanglonggou, Danyunxia, Munigou, Xuebaoding, Xueshanliang, Hongxingyan, Xigou and other scenic spots. The main landscape is concentrated in the 3.6-kilometer-long Huanglonggou, which is covered with carbonate travertine deposits. It is arranged in a terraced manner, and is famous for its rich animal and plant resources, enjoying the reputation of "World Wonder" and "Yaochi on Earth". In 1992, it was included in the World Natural Heritage List. In addition to the alpine landscape, you can also find a variety of different forest ecosystems here, as well as limestone formations, waterfalls and hot springs. The area is also home to many endangered animals, including giant pandas and Sichuan mute monkeys.

Huanglong is mainly based on the large-scale, ingenious structure and colorful surface travertine landscape, and is famous at home and abroad for its rare karst landforms, which can be called a wonderland on earth. It is a world natural heritage, a world reserve of people and the biosphere, a "Green Globe 21" certificate, a national AAAAA tourist attraction, and a national key scenic spot.

Huanglong Scenic Area Guide map taken when leaving at night

Take the cable car and go up the mountain in 4 minutes. From the cable car station to the scenic spot, you still need to walk a mountain and forest plank road, walk slowly forward, breathe the humid air of the forest, comfortable, for us should be regarded as walking in the fog, there are small water droplets suspended around, and for the people under the mountain, it should be regarded as walking in the clouds.

Huanglong Scenic Area The ultra-fast cable car didn't take long to enter the clouds

The colorful pool is 3,576 meters above sea level, with an area of 21,000 square meters and 693 color pools, which is the largest group of color pools in Huanglonggou, and it is also the largest and highest open-air travertine pool group in the world today. The colorful pond embankment is low, staggered, the pool water is overflowing, and from a distance, the colorful pond looks like pieces of green jade plates, under the sunlight, white, purple, blue, green, different shades, colorful, extremely beautiful and delicate. In the middle of winter, under the reflection of jade trees and jade flowers, the color pool is still blue and jade, treacherous and fantastic. The pond and dam have different shapes, including arc-shaped, fan-shaped, skirt-shaped, etc., arranged in a staggered manner, layered on top of each other, just like a three-dimensional oil painting of "Yaochi in the world", born with a "holy land wonderland" without romance. The pool water becomes colorful with the sediment of the water, the color of the dam, the refraction of light, and the depth of the pool. Due to various changes in light irradiation, a colorful "colorful scene" with the same origin of the pool water is formed, which has become a beautiful landscape in Huanglong Scenic Area.

Follow the plank road up the mountain to the colorful pond on the top of the mountain, which is white.

Huanglong Scenic Area It seems that this is the golden sand paving? It should look good when it clears. On the right is the currently open plank road up the mountain.

Huanglong Scenic Area Colorful Pool

Referring to the travelogue on the Internet, both sides of the colorful pool should be walkable, maybe because of the weather, only one side is open, the two roads here, you can first watch from the near observation deck close to the colorful pool, and then go up the mountain, from the higher observation deck to see the panoramic view of the colorful pool, of course, there is fog and it is white.

Huanglong Scenic Area Colorful pool, some plank roads are not fenced, pay attention to safety

Along the plank road all the way down the mountain, you will pass by other scenic spots in the main scenic spot of Huanglong Because I was in a hurry to go down the mountain, I took pictures all the way, and the effect became worse and worse.

Huanglong Scenic Area One of the patterns on the commemorative coin, the waterfall is glowing

At 19:30, when the sky is completely dark, Everyone in the group finally gathered at the gate of the scenic spot, and the road down the mountain, with rain and mist, strode forward, it was really exciting.

Huanglong Scenic Area The wooden plank road is well repaired, flat and bright, and it does not affect anything even at night

On this day, from an altitude of less than 1,000 meters, he rushed directly up to 3,500 meters and then back to 2,800 meters. The owner trotted a few steps without paying attention to the cable car as soon as he got off the cable car in Huanglong, and the altitude sickness went directly to the head, and the Huanglong panoramic area tour + went back to the hotel at night to eat, resting dizziness and headache throughout the whole process, relying on Baifuning (without painkillers) to temporarily relieve pain and sleep, and it was a good night's rest. So no matter whether there is a high reaction before, you must be prepared in advance for a high reaction, and at the same time, do not exercise vigorously in a place of 3,000 meters, all actions must try to maintain a uniform speed, adjust breathing, it is really uncomfortable to have aerobic in the middle of the plank road, you can take oxygen to replenish your physical strength (not open during the epidemic)!

Day03 Songpan-Jiuzhaigou Day04 Jiuzhaigou

order to prevent the shortening of the tour time due to force majeure factors, the owner deliberately chose a two-day tour in Jiuzhaigou, which is quite correct from the perspective of visiting Jiuzhaigou for the first time.

On the first day, the owner drove about two hours from Songpan to Jiuzhaigou on the mountain road, and those who were prone to motion sickness should take precautions, set off at about 8 o'clock and arrived at about 10 o'clock, just avoiding the large army going up the mountain, and did not encounter a crowd at the entrance of the scenic spot. The next day, arriving at about 9 a.m., the group squeezed into the large army and felt the "crowd of people". Later, I heard that there was a crowd pushing and shoving on the first day, and the railings that maintained order were knocked down, so the armed police joined the forces to maintain order on the second day.

Jiuzhaigou is located in Zhangzha Town, Jiuzhaigou County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, in the southern section of the Minshan Mountains in northwestern Sichuan Province, and is located on the northeast side of Gonggan Ridge in the southern section of Minshan. More than 400 kilometers away from Chengdu, it is a large tributary of the source of the Baishui River in the upper reaches of the Jialing River in the Yangtze River system. The terrain of Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve is high in the south and low in the north, with deep valleys and great height differences. The northern edge of Jiuzhaigou is only 2,000 meters above sea level, the central peaks and ridges are more than 4,000 meters, the southern edge is more than 4,500 meters, and the main ditch is more than 30 kilometers long.

The name of Jiuzhaigou comes from the nine Tibetan villages in the scenic area (Shuzheng Village, Zechawa Village, Hejiao Village, Heye Village, Panya Village, Yala Village, Jianpan Village, Rexi Village, and Guodu Village), which are also known as "Nine Villages of Heyao". Because the Tibetans of the nine villages have lived here for generations, it is called "Jiuzhaigou".

Jiuzhaigou - World Natural Heritage, National Key Scenic Area, National AAAAA Tourist Attraction, National Nature Reserve, National Geopark, World Biosphere Reserve Network, is the first nature reserve in China with the main purpose of protecting natural scenery. Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is also famous outside, Orientals call it "Wonderland on Earth", and Westerners call it "Fairy Tale World".

Current situation of the scenic spot:

The Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area tour consists of three ditches: the main tree is the main ditch, the left fork is the Zawa ditch, and the right fork is the ditch. After the 8.8 Jiuzhaigou earthquake (2017), the scenic spot stopped receiving tourists, reopened after September 27, 2019, and temporarily closed the scenic spot due to rain at the end of August this year. At present, all scenic spots of Shuzhenggou and Zezhawagou are open, and Rizegou is only open to Wuhuahai, from the Panda Sea Waterfall to the primeval forest is still closed, and due to geology and rainfall, some scenic spots are also closed due to the plank road.

present, the scenic spot can only be visited through the Ferris bus, 80 yuan/person, and the parking lot for getting on and off the bus is not in one place, friends who travel freely should pay attention to the parking situation (you can walk or take a taxi to and from the two parking lots), friends who travel with a group can follow the tour guide, the tourist bus parking lot is about 1 kilometer away from the parking lot of the Ferris bus, this road is equivalent to a commercial street, the owner goes to this time, the price is very affordable, the look and feel is very good! [Watch the news during the eleventh month, the gate of the scenic spot has been opened, subject to the actual situation]

The

intersection of the three ditches is located near the Nuorilang Waterfall and is a transfer station. If there is a clear viewing direction, be sure to explain to the driver and the tour guide when getting on the bus, if you are not on the same line, you can get off the bus at the Nuorilang Dispatch Center and transfer to the car in the corresponding direction, of course, if you sit in the wrong direction, you can not get off the car, and then take back to Nuorilang.

Owner's Itinerary:

Jiuzhai Day 1: Rizegou, Shuzhenggou

The second day of Jiuzhai: Zezhawagou, Shuzhenggou

Then enter the attraction introduction~

Starting from our first itinerary - Rizegou

Rizegou The current three attractions of Rizegou: Wuhuahai, Pearl Beach, Pearl Beach Waterfall, and Jinghai.

Wuhuahai to Jinghai can theoretically be completed by the plank road, but the plank road from Pearl Beach Waterfall to Jinghai is currently closed. The whole is a downhill road, if you are worried about physical strength, you can choose to take a car between the attractions, and you can walk in the woods if you are energetic, and you will stay away from the crowd if you are not careful. In the end, Jinghai returned to Nuo Rilang and could only take a car.

Wuhuahai is 2,472 meters above sea level, 5 meters deep, and covers an area of 90,000 square meters, known as "Jiuzhaigou a unique" and "Jiuzhai essence", above the Pearl Beach Waterfall, the lower part of Panda Lake is at the end of the upper reaches of the Rizegou Peacock River.A lake, harmonized by nature into a colorful and beautiful scene, is a spectacular scene that can never be created by man.

The sea of five flowers, as the first attraction to get off the bus, is overcrowded... However, if you have enough time, you can consider walking around, the fewer people you can find a different scenery~

Pearl Beach, Pearl Beach is located at the junction of Rize Gou and Nanrigou, at an altitude of 2433m, is a fan-shaped travertine beach flow, which is one of the spectacular views of Jiuzhaigou. Pearl Beach is a relatively wide stone beach in Jiuzhaigou, the clear lake water rushes down through the spacious beach surface, and the lake water splashes silver beads on the sloping and uneven stone beach surface, shaped like pearls, from which the name Pearl Beach comes from. There were too many people, and the sun came out at that moment, and it became quite dazzling.

Pearl Beach Waterfall, 2,445 meters above sea level, 21 meters high and 162 meters wide, is a typical combined landscape in Jiuzhaigou, and is the place where Tang monks and apprentices wade through the water at the beginning of the TV series "Journey to the West". The Pearl Beach Waterfall, like the Milky Way falling from the sky, is majestic, emitting an earth-shattering roar in the valley, which is extraordinary. The wide waterfall rushed into the bottom of the valley, roaring like thunder, rolling out thousands of waves, surging water mist in the emerald valley, and then rushing eastward, the sound of water thundered, the mountain stream boiled, and the momentum was majestic.

Maybe because it is a big attraction and it is famous (there should be few people who haven't seen the opening credits of "Journey to the West"), so there are a lot of people, so hurry up and take pictures, maybe you can take a single photo

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Pearl Beach Waterfall. The staff dressed as masters and apprentices solicited photo business under the waterfall.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Pearl Beach Waterfall. The amount of water is still very large.

Jinghai is located at the junction of Shuzhenggou and Rizegou, at an altitude of 2390M, and is one of the famous attractions in Jiuzhaigou. It is like a mirror, replicating the scenery on the ground and in the air to the water without distortion. When the morning light first dew, the morning glow dyed the eastern sky red, the sea water was as flat as a mirror, and the blue sky, white clouds, and snow-capped mountains were all reflected on the sea, showing the spectacle of "fish swimming in the clouds and birds flying in the water". Photo tip: The mirror sea is known for its calm water surface (usually no wind before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m.), because the terrain here is relatively open, especially in summer, at 5 p.m., there is also sunshine, when the wind is calm, the water and the sky meet

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Jinghai. Arriving at noon, I saw sparkling.

Norilang Waterfall is 2365m above sea level, 24.5m high, and 320m wide, and is a retreating waterfall with a retreat speed of 0.22m/year. Norirang Waterfall is the widest travertine waterfall found in our country so far. "Nuorilang" means male god in Tibetan, and also means majestic and tall. The torrential water flowed from the sea of Norilang, and from the trees at the top of the waterfall over the embankment, it was like a galaxy rushing down, and the water was so powerful that the sound shook the valley.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Nuorilang Waterfall

The Rhino Sea is a natural lake about 2.2 kilometers long, 17 meters deep, 2,400 meters above sea level, and can reach more than 40 meters at the deepest point. Rhino Sea is the largest sea in Shuzhenggou, and it is also one of the most varied seas in Jiuzhaigou, and the Rhino Sea is the second largest sea in Jiuzhaigou, and its reflection is almost the crown of the sea. The reflection of the clouds and mist when the fog drifts away every morning is both illusory and real, making it difficult to distinguish where the sky is and where the sea is. The colorful leaves around the lake shore are also bright and colorful, crowning the crowd.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Rhino Sea

The Tiger Sea is 2,298 meters above sea level, located on the Shuzheng Waterfall, deep and quiet, with violence in silence and unruliness hidden in tranquility. The Shuzheng Waterfall is its sudden burst of vitality and passion, the sound of the waterfall is deep and thick, and the sound of the water is like thunder, like a tiger's roar. Every late autumn, the upper layers of the lakeshore mountain are dyed, and the purple and red trees are reflected in the clear lake water, mottled, like the colorful tiger stripes on the tiger's body. The Tiger Sea is 310 meters long, 171-194 meters wide, 25 meters deep, and has a storage capacity of about 1.1 million cubic meters, so it has plenty of water even in winter.

Shuzheng Waterfall is located in Shuzhenggou, Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, Sichuan, and he is the first waterfall seen in the ditch and the smallest of the four major waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou. Shuzheng Waterfall is composed of many waterfalls connected end to end, and the water is fierce, like thousands of troops waving flags and roaring like thunder. On the embankment stands the unique shrubs of the plateau, rooted in the bottom of the water, standing proudly in the torrent, withstanding the impact of flowing water for many years without falling or rotting, forming a special plant community and a rare natural wonder in the world. Shuzheng Waterfall is next to the road in front of Shuzheng Village, the first waterfall seen in the ditch, and it is also the smallest of the four major waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou. Although it is the smallest, it can also make people who visit Jiuzhaigou for the first time thrilling. Shuzheng Waterfall is 2,295 meters above sea level, 25 meters high, and 72 meters wide.

The water of the upper sea crosses the lake embankment and overflows from the trees, stirring up white splashes, jumping and rushing in the greenery. The water flows down the embankment, forming a curtain of water, graceful and graceful. The entire sea is layered, and the blue color in green is innocent and natural like a fairy tale.

Qunhai Shuanglong Sea is above the sea of reeds, under the waterfalls of the Shuzheng Sea, through the crystal lake, you can see that there are two ribbons of biological travertine reef embankments in the sea faintly lurking on the seabed, like two dragons hiding in the sea, wriggling and looking forward to the wind, ready to take off and fly into the sky at any time.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Shuanglong Sea

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area On the rotten wood, it is full of

vitality The Reed Sea is a semi-swampy lake with an altitude of 2,140 meters and a total length of 2.2 kilometers. The sea is full of reeds, waterfowl fly, clear streams and blue streams, rippling green and green, winding and empty, what a beautiful scenery of the marsh country. In the "Sea of Reeds", the reeds are swaying, a green patch, the breeze is blowing, and the green waves are undulating. The rustling sound is euphemistic and lyrical, making people feel refreshed.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Reed Sea

Bonsai Beach. At the end of the sea of reeds, the river gradually widens, and the reeds are gone, replaced by clusters of trees scattered on the shallows, which is the first scenery of Jiuzhaigou - bonsai beach. Bonsai Beach, also known as "Bonsai Sea" and "Jiazhucuo" in Tibetan, is the first beach flow landscape to enter Jiuzhaigou.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Bonsai Beach

Zha Ru Temple is located in the middle of Zharuma Road, in a large apple orchard, which is the largest and most famous lama temple near Jiuzhaigou, and it is also a holy place for Bon believers. Known as "Ranwu Gompa" in Tibetan, it was built at the end of the Ming Dynasty and has undergone two renovations, with a strong Tibetan temple color. Zharu Monastery belongs to the "Yongzhong Main Religion", which is the Tathagata Dharma taught by the Buddha Xin Rao Miwo, and is also known as the oldest Xiangxiong Buddhism in Tibet.

The Zaru Temple is backed by a vein of Cangshan, facing the treasure mirror cliff, with a golden top and red eaves, and five-colored prayer flags praying earnestly in the wind. It has both a solemn Zen flavor and the legacy of primitive Benbo religion. The temple covers a total area of more than 100 acres and a construction area of more than 20,000 square meters, of which the landmark building of the temple is the "Yongzhong Laze Pagoda".

Our third itinerary - Zezhawagou

Zezhawagou attractions: Changhai, Colorful Pond, Shangji Sea, The

visit route of Zawagou is relatively simple: get off the bus at Changhai and walk along the plank road to Wucaichi, and continue walking to Wucaichi Station to take the Ferris car back to the Nuorilang Dispatch Center. A small note is that you can take some time to walk a little further down from the colorful pond station to the viewing platform of the last seasonal sea. There is a plank road from the sea in the last season to the sea in the next season, but the distance is too far, and it is still sealed, so let's take a car.

Changhai, at an altitude of 3,060 meters, about five kilometers long, more than 600 meters wide, and covers an area of 930,000 square meters, is located at the end of Zecha Wagou. The peaks next to Changhai are covered with snow all year round, surrounded by forests and emeralds, standing on the Changhai Observation Deck, the blue sky and white clouds, the snow on the peaks are in full view, and it feels that the mountains and the sky are connected to each other, there is no distance, which is also a major landscape of Changhai. Changhai is the highest altitude and the widest lake in Jiuzhaigou, the water surface of the lake is dark blue, the water source comes from the melting snow in the mountains, it is strange that there is no water outlet around Changhai, but the water does not overflow the embankment in the summer and autumn rainy seasons, and the long drought in winter and spring does not dry up, so the locals of Jiuzhaigou call it a treasure gourd that is dissatisfied and leaks dry. The lake is more than 100 meters deep, in an S-row spread, the lake is surrounded by green forests, and the peaks are covered with snow all year round. In the middle of winter, the long sea ice is up to 60 centimeters thick, making it an ideal place for ice sports.

the side of the road leading to the colorful pool, the fog drifts in the mountains, so there is always a feeling of walking in the clouds.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area

Colorful pool. 1 kilometer down from Changhai is the Wucai Pond, which is 2,995 meters above sea level and 6.6 meters deep, hidden in the deep valley under the highway. Although the colorful pond is the least exquisite among the seas of Jiuzhaigou, its colors are the most colorful, comparable to the sea of five flowers. The colorful pond is extremely clear, through the pool water, you can see the stone patterns on the rock surface at the bottom of the pool, due to the color difference of the sediment at the bottom of the pool and the different colors of the plants on the poolside, the originally blue lake surface becomes colorful. It is the essence of Jiuzhaigou Lake and the most exquisite sea, known as the Eye of Jiuzhai.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Colorful Pond.The general theory is blue, but if you look closely, it is also divided into dark blue and light blue~

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Colorful Pond, autumn has been dyed on the branches

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Colorful Pond, this year the water is so big that it floods the lower plank road, if the water flow activity is opened, I am happy to step on it.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Colorful Pond

The plank road here is narrow and crowded, so be sure to pay attention to safety and be courteous to each other.

Upper and lower seasons of the sea. Go down from the colorful pond and soon reach the sea of the seasons. The lower season sea is located below the upper season sea, and the two are far apart, but each has its own characteristics. The water volume of the sea changes with the seasons, all of which are the rise of the lake in autumn, and at other times due to the change of seasons, most of the time it is embedded in the mountain hollow and sleeps soundly, reflecting the exquisite years and the harmony of heaven and earth.

In the last season, the sea is adjacent to the colorful pond, and the lake water changes with the seasons, sometimes full and sometimes dry. In the autumn rainy season, the lake water rises, the lake is blue, the water is shallow emerald green in summer, and after early winter, the lake water dries up, the lake bed is covered with grass, and the lake becomes a grazing grass beach, and the grass beach grows with a United Nations first-class protected plant - Ruoshivich.

In the next season, the sea is embedded in the flowery mountain hollow, the amount of water changes with the seasons, and in autumn, the rainfall is abundant, the lake is full, and the water color of the sea in the next season is the most blue and transparent, and it looks like bright blue ink from a distance. In winter and spring, the water level gradually decreases, and until early summer, the lake water even dries up, and the lake bed is covered with grass, becoming a blessed land for grazing cattle and horses. Next to the road by the lake, there are several tall trees, and when it comes to autumn, the leaves turn yellow, and the trees are full of golden light from a distance.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Lower Seasonal Sea.

The owner was lucky to encounter a sunny day on the first day and a cloudy day on the second day, and the scenery of both weather was seen, and each attraction did not need to be in a hurry, just walk around slowly. The water on sunny days is clear and transparent, which will be very prominent, and the water on cloudy days is milky white, and the contrast with the mountains will be reduced, the overall effect is very good, and the fog in the mountains has a fairyland feeling.

Regarding eating, the Nuorilang Service Center has a place to eat, I heard that the price is reasonable, but people may gather, the owner brought his own lunch and snacks for two days, and he felt more comfortable listening to the sound of water and eating in a place where there were few people on the plank road.

Regarding shopping, the Ferris car will pull everyone to the highest attraction, so Changhai and Wuhuahai will be particularly crowded, and the more people will be dispersed down, it will be more comfortable. There may be no one at the scenic spots when entering Shuzhenggou before one o'clock in the afternoon, so you can take pictures casually (they are still concentrated in the other two ditches or Nuorilang Service Center). In short, by avoiding crowds through time and distance, it is easy to discover the beautiful scenery and start a comfortable viewing process.

Songpan is also an important historical memorial site of the revolution. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held five important meetings during the Long March, two of which (Shawo Conference and Maoergai Conference) were held in Songpan. In order to commemorate the great feat of the Red Army's Long March and carry forward the spirit of the Long March, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission decided to build the Red Army Long March Monument Park in Songpan Chuanzhusi Town. The main monument of the Red Army Long March has risen high on the top of Yuanbao Mountain in Chuanzhusi Town, backed by snow-capped mountains and forests, facing the grassland, the main monument is 41.3 meters high, and the bronze statue of the Red Army soldiers at the top is 14.8 meters, holding flowers in one hand and a gun in the other, and raising both arms in a "V" shape, symbolizing the great victory of the Long March. The monument is veneered with 450 copper alloys and is triangular in shape, symbolizing the invincible victory of the three main forces of the Red Army's 1st, 2nd and 4th Fronts going north to resist Japan. The stele is veneer with white jade ring lines, and the stele is paved with green lawn, which means "Snow Mountain Grass Tree Monument". The largest modern art group sculpture in China has been established in the park, showing the arduous course of the Red Army's Long March by depicting artistic images. The group sculpture is 72 meters long, 8 meters wide, and the highest point is 12.5 meters, made of 1,160 cubic meters and 1,440 pieces of red granite carved and combined, which combines the glorious revolutionary history and the charm of modern art, with a majestic scale, majestic and shocking.

After experiencing crazy traffic jams, I finally arrived in Chengdu at 8 p.m. to check into the hotel. I took the car for 11 hours, but fortunately it was the return trip, not the more delayed trip to visit.

Day06 Chengdu-Beijing

Today's itinerary has temporary points: the closed U.S. Consulate General in Chengdu, Chunxi Road, and Wuhou Temple.

Riding to the Consulate General early in the morning, I felt that the subway was being repaired everywhere, which made the feeling of riding not very good, and what was even funnier was that the door was also surrounded by the baffle of the subway.

subway goes to Chunxi Road, there is a price and feeling of attractions, there are many people, high prices, and liveliness. It is a good choice to find a supermarket to buy souvenirs (hot pot base, beef jerky, peppercorns, chili peppers, tartary buckwheat tea, etc.).

Chunxi Road Prosperous and lively commercial street

Today's core goal: husband and wife lung tablets (main store), after eating, I feel that it is really a good place to solve meals and desserts, husband and wife lung tablets must be ordered!

6. Summary

Not being able to see the sunny scenery in Huanglong is the biggest regret of this trip, but this situation that needs to look at fate and luck is also helpless, but it gives a reason to do it again. I heard that the railway from Chengdu to Lanzhou is being built, and it may be possible to reach a train to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong in many years.

It's a pity that my time in Chengdu is too short, and I haven't eaten enough hahaha. If you plan a trip to Sichuan, it is worth spending more time in Chengdu to eat, and the surrounding attractions that need to be checked in can also be included. Chengdu's subway coverage is very wide, many attractions can be reached by subway, and commuter buses between scenic spots are also a good choice.

Jiuzhaigou is really a great place! Very, very, very worth it! The photo can only show a little bit, and you can feel the creativity of nature and the wonder of Jiuzhaigou when you are in it!

Only with regrets can we pave the way for the next time, and the trip to Jiuzhai Huanglong is worth the trip!
