Now it is convenient and fast to go to Jiuzhaigou, and there is also an airport. But from a sightseeing point of view, my favorite is Jiuzhaigou in 1987, which was also the first time I entered Jiuzhaigou.

It was a day in mid-March 1987, a day that could not be accurately accurate.

may take 17 hours to take a Toyota van from Chengdu to Nanping before dawn. At that time, there was no Jiuzhaigou County, and I don't know whether Nanping is a county or a town.

The next morning, when you enter the ditch, you have to pay for the ticket, which is 3 yuan, which is not necessarily more expensive than it is now. On that day and in the days that followed, there were only 7 tourists in Jiuzhaigou, including me, two of whom were from the Kunming Hotel, because before that, I happened to be staying at the Kunming Hotel in Kunming.

Today's fashionable hiking in the donkey circle was the only way to visit Jiuzhaigou at that time, and there was no public transportation in the ditch.

There are nine Tibetan villages in the ditch, so it is named Jiuzhaigou, which is different from the later one, Jiuzhaigou in 1987 is not like a tourist attraction at all, if you don't charge tickets, it is no different from any ordinary village.

Unfortunately, at that time, when I first started playing DSLR, I couldn't take pictures, let alone other characters, mainly taking pictures of myself, of course, I also had some ideas to show off.

At that time, there was only one guest house for tourists in the entire Jiuzhaigou, and of course there were nine Tibetan villages, which was also the origin of the name of Jiuzhaigou, and there was nothing else, including today's hiking plank roads.

There was no strategy at that time, and I wouldn't look for a viewing spot. So I didn't keep or take my favorite photos. By today's standards, even if all the remaining photos are scraps, just recording their past.

Because hiking was the only option at the time, it was unrealistic to take a day trip. I remember that I stayed for 3 days, and I definitely didn't see all the attractions, including the later Nuorilang Waterfall and Shuzheng Waterfall, etc., maybe I lost the photo, anyway, I can't remember it. The only thing that I think is beautiful is the color of the sea.

Although I didn't leave behind my masterpiece, these photos are still very precious to me as a record of my life milestone.

The old photos are all remakes, and the actual photo clarity is better than the remake effect.

The second time I went to Jiuzhaigou was on January 26, 2006.

went to Jiuzhaigou a total of five times before and after, and my favorite was the original state of the first time, but unfortunately I could never go back.
