From Siguniang Mountain to Chengdu via "Panda Avenue", to Yingxiu is a three-way intersection, and to the north is the Duwen Expressway or the old Lanmo Line to Jiuzhaigou, which takes about 7 hours. Suddenly I was thinking, the first trip to Tibet 11 years ago was Jiuzhaigou, thousands of mountains and rivers came over, and now the road is in front of me, why not go again? It was autumn, what was spring like? So I checked the weather forecast and said that it would snow tomorrow, and I haven't seen Jiuzhaigou after the snow!

Jiuzhaigou is located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the western Sichuan Plateau, the transition zone to the Sichuan Basin, is a ravine valley with a depth of more than 50 kilometers, because there are nine Tibetan villages in the ditch such as Shuzheng Village, Heye Village, Zecha Wa Village and other nine Tibetan villages in this group of mountain lakes, springs, waterfalls, beaches, and lakes, constituting a colorful Yaochi jade basin, which is known as the "fairy tale world" and the "king of water features". After the double blow of the 8.8 earthquake and the epidemic, Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has returned strongly, and tickets for the scenic spot are currently discounted and can be booked directly online.

According to the current planning of the Y-shaped route of the scenic spot, take the scenic drive from the mouth of the ditch to the mountain, first go to the farthest and highest Zechawagou Changhai, and then return, walk over one point by point, to the Nuorilang Visitor Center, in the direction of Rizegou (currently the scenic spots from Nuorilang to Wuhuahai are open, and it is not open inside), and then return to Ruorilang to the direction of Shuzhenggou to the exit. Most of the scenic spots along the way have stops, one ticket, and you can visit the nearby attractions on foot.

Due to a spring snow last night, Jiuzhaigou was half silver and half green, and the Changhai at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters was surrounded by silver, and the Changhai curved along the mountain, hiding its head deep in the valley of mountains, and the ice had not yet melted, and it suddenly returned to winter.

About

1 kilometer down from the long sea, the colorful pond is hidden deep in the deep valley under the highway, and a snow dresses the forest in silver. The colorful pool is hidden in the dense forest like a huge sapphire, it is the smallest and most gorgeous pool in Jiuzhaigou, famous for its beauty, purity and transparency.

There is no water in the next season sea and the sea in the lower season, who called it the season sea!

According to the route of the scenery to deliver the car, return to the center of Nuorilang, and then go to the direction of Rizegou, first to Wuhuahai and then go back, Wuhuahai has the reputation of "Jiuzhaigou a unique", in the same water, Wuhuahai can show goose yellow, dark green, dark blue, navy blue and other colors, the forest on the shore, red, orange, yellow and green reflected in the pool, and the underwater sunken wood, plants are dotted with each other, mottled and confusing, colorful, especially wonderful, is one of the most wonderful attractions in Jiuzhaigou's various attractions.

This place is very different from the ice and snow of Changhai, you can rent a set of ethnic costumes and take some beautiful photos with the beautiful nature under the warm sun.

From the angle of the tiger's mouth, you can overlook the whole sea of flowers, like a peacock with plump feathers.

The downstream of the Wuhua Sea is a pearl beach waterfall surrounded by pine and fir trees, and this section can be reached on foot, down from the road. A wooden plank road passes through the pearl beach, a thin layer of water flows over the beach, and under the sunlight, like thousands of pearls, shining silver, and then falling into the waterfall.

Do you still remember the 86 version of "Journey to the West" that once dominated the screen? There has been debate over whether the Jiuzhaigou Waterfall is Pearl Beach or Nuorilang. I walked down through the pearl beach, and after the waterfall water flowed slowly through a beach with an inclination of about 20 degrees, the water fell into a right angle, the whole process was calcified with scales, and the water was colorful everywhere.

The waterfall is more than 20 meters high, where the Tang monk and his apprentice led their horses to wade through the water.

Further down the Pearl Beach Waterfall is the Mirror Sea, which, as the name suggests, acts like a mirror that replicates the scenery on the ground and in the air to the surface of the water without distortion. If it is the first dew in the morning and the morning glow dyes the eastern sky, the sea water is as flat as a mirror, and the blue sky, white clouds, and snow-capped mountains are all reflected on the sea, which will present the spectacle of "fish swimming in the clouds and birds flying in the water". But according to the time and route of the scenery delivery, you basically can't meet the morning glow.

The location of Nuorilang Waterfall is the intersection of the Y-shaped line Zechawagou and Zhezegou, which is a must-visit attraction for tourists in Jiuzhaigou, "Nuorilang" in Tibetan It means tall and tall, and the waterfall is 270 meters wide, making it the widest waterfall in China.

8.8 earthquake in 17, the Norilang Waterfall collapsed seriously, and there seemed to be no change after repair, the top of the upstream was as flat as a platform, and the water suddenly fell to the edge, and the spring was like a child who had just woken up, cheering and rushing on the verdant cliffs, ethereal and green, and the water flow was like a curtain 。

Legend has it that in the past, there was no waterfall here, only a platform, and the beautiful Tibetan girl Ruoyiguo of the alliance learned to spin thread with a spinning wheel, and she set the spinning wheel on the platform at the junction of the three ditches for the sisters in the past to watch and learn, and people called this place the "textile table". The murderous leader Roza thought she was doing crooked ways, kicked her and the spinning wheel off the cliff, and immediately, a flash flood broke out, washing Roza and her accomplices down the cliff, and the textile table became a waterfall and the water became a spinning yarn.

Coming out of the Nuorilang Waterfall is the direction of the exit, but also the direction of Shuzhenggou, stretching five or six kilometers along the ditch, bonsai sea, reed sea, spark sea, Wolong sea, tiger sea, Shuzheng sea is composed of dozens of seas of large and small, like turquoise jade, embedded in this deep mountain valley, the middle is connected by green trees and silver waterfalls, as if bringing a beautiful jade necklace to Shuzheng Village. This section of the beautiful scenery is connected, suitable for walking tours, and the time is late, and the scenery will be urged, and they will take all the tourists out of the ditch before get off work, so it is recommended to stay here for more time.

The water of the upper sea jumps over the lake embankment, overflows from the trees, stirring up white splashes, jumping and jumping in the verdant, shuttling and rushing, forming a water curtain, distributed to the lake of different sizes, like thousands of troops beating drums and waving flags. Shuzheng Waterfall is located next to the upstream road of Shuzheng Qun Hai, and is the first waterfall seen in the ditch, and it is also the smallest of the four major waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou. But with the scenery handing over the car, this is the last ditch to go.

The peach blossoms in Jiangnan have withered for more than a month, and the pink peaches in Jiuzhaigou are still reflected in the blue sea and green water, adding colorful spring colors, and the earthquake has caused serious damage, but the repaired Jiuzhaigou still does not look at the water when it returns, but there are still a few points in the direction of Rizegou that have not been opened, and it is estimated that it will take a while to savor it carefully, and it is best to arrange two days.
