Live Your Best Lives
Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area was closed on August 8, 2017 due to damage caused by a magnitude 7 earthquake, which has always touched my heart. After renovation, the original Rize Gully from Wuhuahai to the innermost primeval forest is still prohibited from entering due to protection needs, and the rest have been opened. Some attractions have undergone some changes and even new ones have appeared. Overall, it still maintains the original tone and style, and is still extremely beautiful. This revisit of Jiuzhai Huanglong starts with Huanglong Scenic Area, then Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, and finally Shenxian Pond Scenic Area, all on the same line. The purpose of revisiting is to review the Jiuzhai Huanglong that I visited more than ten years ago, or to take a deep trip, such a famous scenic spot, it is worth revisiting it again. The second is to focus on the recovery after the Jiuzhaigou earthquake, and also set foot on the praised and foreign-renowned Shenxian Pond Scenic Area. Third, this season is the golden season, not only the scenery is beautiful, but also the weather is cool. Walking out of Chengdu, traveling lightly, is not a pleasure. Fourth, of course, it is a physical need, people should move around frequently when they are old, and I am healthy and spirited, able to climb mountains and walk, and should achieve the unity of nature and man in my lifetime, and enjoy the joy of family.
After redrawing the tour guide, I chose the ropeway up and down on foot, which was the most time-saving way. 
To go to the ropeway station of Huanglong Scenic Area, you can get on the bus from the visitor center to the ropeway station after applying for a ticket, and see that there are almost no people queuing up in the corridor and there are very few tourists. 
It takes a long way to get to the destination after standing on the ropeway, and now a cable car is being built next to it, which will help tourists save walking time when completed. However, you can enjoy the primeval forest while walking on a high place. 
See some of the attractions below from a high place, and here you can see the yellow dragon "Competition Pool". 
Going down from here, you will see a large calcified landscape in front of you. 
In the distance (the direction is to look south, not north) is the north side of the "Snow Treasure Peak" of Minshan 
Go to the opposite landscape avenue 
to "Huanglong Ancient Temple" 
Go around from the right to see the colorful pool, which is a passage up and down. 
There are two plank roads up and down, first go up from the upper plank road, and the colorful pool is presented in front of you, so spectacular! 
Go to the innermost end and look back at the "Huanglong Ancient Temple" and the ditch below. 
Go down to the boardwalk below to watch 
Return to the position of the ditch and take a closer look, multiple layers are superimposed, different colors, suitable for near and far, which is refreshing. 
After descending past the "Huanglong Middle Temple" and "Jiexian Bridge", you will come to the "Competition Pool" of the second largest color pool group in Huanglong. 
Come to attractions such as the "Spiegel Reflection Pool" 
ripple in the plank road in the forest, slowly descending.

"Golden Sand Paving" 
Look down from the "Washing Cave" 
"Lotus Terrace Waterfall" 
"Weiyan Lake"

Cute little squirrel, I'll watch with you. 
After leaving Huanglong Scenic Area, we stayed outside Jiuzhaigou 
I came to Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area early in the morning, and the gate of the scenic spot was much more luxurious than what I had seen in the past. 
It's like stepping into a super luxurious hall 
The three ditches of Jiuzhaigou are Y-shaped, and the above is facing south rather than north, which was often wrong in the past.The mouth of the ditch is 14 kilometers into Shuzhenggou, and after arriving at the Nuorilang Visitor Center, it is divided into left and right forks, the left fork is "Zecha Wagou", the farthest is 18 kilometers to Changhai, the right fork is "Rizegou", and the farthest is 17 kilometers to the "primeval forest". At present, "Rizegou" is only open to the "Five Flowers Sea", because the Jiuzhaigou magnitude 7 earthquake on August 8, 2017 caused damage to the scenic spot, and the "primeval forest" line was seriously damaged and has not yet fully recovered. 
Scenic spot tickets and sightseeing tickets are mainly booked, and the sightseeing ticket I booked with my mobile phone is 90 yuan. From the entrance, take the bus from "Shuzhenggou" and "Zechawagou" to "Changhai". Start the tour from the farthest point of "Changhai", and the return tour can be taken by car or on foot. 
We were the first to arrive at "Changhai", which is the highest, deepest and largest sea in Jiuzhaigou. "Changhai" has no water outlet, but it never overflows and dries up, and relies on underground gaps to regulate the water in the pool below. The weather was good today, and I took a lot of photos on the observation deck and spent a lot of time in the "Long Sea". 
Go down to the plank road and walk on both sides, but the plank road is very short, and you can't walk more. 
This is looking back at the observation deck on the boardwalk on the right 
This tree only sticks out branches towards the side of the "long sea", which is a bit magical. 
Walk from "Changhai" to "Colorful Pond", one of the most beautiful attractions in Jiuzhaigou. 
Not far from it is the "upper seasonal sea", because the water level changes significantly with the seasons, so it is called the seasonal sea, divided into upper and lower seasonal seas. 
Return to the location of "Rize Ditch" and take a sightseeing bus, which currently only passes to the "Sea of Five Flowers", and goes further to the "primeval forest", because the earthquake damage has not yet been fully restored, and it is temporarily closed. 
The sightseeing bus stopped at the "Five Flowers Sea", and when I got off the bus, I saw that the "Five Flowers Sea" was very large and particularly colorful. 
I saw new trees growing at the roots of the trees in the sea 
The next attractions after passing the "Golden Bell Sea" are "Pearl Beach" and "Pearl Falls". The surface of "Pearl Beach" is 112.3 meters wide, 189 meters long, and the average slope is 20 degrees. 
"Pearl Beach" is "Pearl Falls" 
"Pearl Falls" is 21 meters high and 270 meters wide, and is a moraine platform left of Quaternary glaciers that has been calcified. 
The main dubbing of "Journey to the West" is filmed here 
On August 8, 2017, during the Jiuzhaigou magnitude 7 earthquake, a boulder weighing 522 tons fell from an altitude of 2,564 meters above sea level into the river valley, with a vertical drop of 272 meters. The roll down destroyed all the vegetation along the way, forming a huge trench. 
"Jinghai" is the third largest lake in Jiuzhaigou 
Return to the "Norilang Visitor Center" to visit the third ditch "Shuzheng Ditch", and start watching at the "Norilang Waterfall". 
After that, continue to hike in "Shuzheng Ditch", pass the calm "Rhino Sea" and "Tiger Sea" and arrive at the "Shuzheng Waterfall" attraction. 
"tree mill" 
From the "Shuzheng Mill", walk along the plank road to the opposite side of the ditch, and then return to the ditch after seeing the "Sea of Sparks". 
This is the "Shuzheng Group" seeing the opposite "Shuzheng Village", one of the nine villages. 
in "Wolong Sea" 
It's time for the "Sea of Sparks", which burst its embankment during the 2017 earthquake, forming a breach of 40 meters long, 12 meters wide and 15 meters high, and the lake landscape disappeared. There are also more than 100 cracks. After repairing the dam body and cracks, secondary disasters were prevented and the lake landscape was restored. 
Several gaps between the "Sea of Sparks" and the "Sea of Ssangyong" below drain water 
New landscape after the earthquake 
The "Sea of Sparks" earthquake repair restored the original landscape 
"Shuanglonghai Waterfall", hidden in the dense forest before the earthquake, the hydrological changes occurred during the earthquake, and the waterfall was revealed, and the whole "Shuanglonghai Waterfall" was integrated, forming a beautiful landscape. It's like a realistic landscape painting, if people love it. 
After seeing the "Ssangyong Waterfall", get on the bus and go out of the ditch after passing the "Reed Sea" and "Bonsai Sea". 
End the journey of recovery and reconstruction after the Jiulonggou disaster 
Back at the hotel, prepare to go to the "Immortal Pool" on the third day. The 
Early on the third day, I left the Jiuzhaigou Residence and headed to the Immortal Pool 
There are twenty-eight turns to go through, and each turn has a mark, which is the 28th turn I have driven. 
There is an observation deck on it 
Take a picture of the twenty-eight turns that have passed 
to the highest point, the pass, is 3688 meters above sea level. 
The Shenxian Pond Scenic Area is also called Nensancuo Scenic Area 
From the visitor center into the scenic spot, it is the first batch of tourists, you can take a tour bus to the "Fairy Bridge", but it is only 400 meters away, I would rather walk the "Bamboo Forest Path" to watch. 
"Fairy Bridge" crosses the river 
"Water Curtain Cave" and "Jinyin Beach", calcified landforms, are the same as those seen in Huanglong Scenic Area the day before yesterday. 
"Shenquan", the staff who came up first were picking up water. 
"Yaochi", layer by layer. 
It is really like a similar landscape in Huanglong Scenic Area 
"Qinglong Sea", the landscape of Haizi is like Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, and the sea water is very clear, and the seabed sediment is clearly visible. 
Haizi water blue-greenblue-green 
See the algae in the sea from the observation deck 
"lotus pool", which is the area with the highest concentration of calcified pools. 
Push from near to near 
Leave a footprint 
Further up, I went up to the "Fairy Pool" and saw a tree lying in the water with thick calcifications, and I guessed that it had been many years and had some history. 
The trees and vegetation in the water are clear. 
After passing the "Sea of Divine Frogs" to the "Mofu Cave", there are three forks in the road, which can go up and down. 
It turns out that the "Mofu Cave" is a larger hole 
I didn't expect that it was just such a narrow crack in the stone, and it was difficult for my fist to reach in, so I could only touch the hole with my palm to get some blessings. 
Continue up the hill 
Come to the "Wanfeu Beach", the right half of this lying tree trunk has been covered with calcium precipitated in the running water for a long time, which is completely different from the left half, and the creation of nature is really powerful! 
There is another three-way intersection, the two on the right are circular roads, one in and one out, and the road on the left leads to a rest platform. This place is called "Fairy Ping". 
Enter from the right side road, a place called "Yonglian Spring", the spring is not big, and there is a small scene. 
Go up to "Lotus Terrace", which is the highest point of the scenic spot, with an altitude of 3070 meters. When the water is big, you can see the waterfall landscape, but now the water is small, and it means that you are standing at the highest point of the scenic spot. 
Circle back to "Fairy Ping" 
"Fairy Pond" and "Lotus Pond" from the downhill trail 
"Fairy Pavilion" 
"Yaochi" 
"Gold and Silver Beach" 
Turn into the lower road to the "Fairy Bridge" bus point, and go down to the exit of the scenic spot for a few minutes to end the tour of the fairy pool. The fairy pool is not big, and after two or three hours of walking, it does integrate the characteristics of Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou. The innkeeper once told me that there are not many domestic tourists who come to the fairy pool, mainly foreign, especially Korean and Japanese, and the scenic spots are small and exquisite. 
On the way back, we came to the "Twenty-Eight Turns" observation deck 
The sun shines on the "twenty-eight turns" 
Stepping on the road, it takes 8 hours to drive from here to Chengdu, and I arrive home at 7 o'clock in the evening. 
After leaving the twenty-eight turns, there are many small scenery along the road back to Chengdu, which is the "Sea of Love" scenic spot. 
Flowers in the wild 
The "Minjiangyuan" next to the "Gongganling", the river flows down from the "Gongganling" at 4,300 meters, and the "Minjiangyuan Wetland Park" is currently being built, which is said to be rich in celestial landscapes. 
Continue south to Diexi Town in Mao County. This "Silkworm Ling Town" is a large earthen city, indicating a long history and representing the origin of the Shu Kingdom.In ancient times, the Ran Yu tribe that emerged in the upper reaches of the Min River and the Qiang tribe who migrated from the northwest merged into the ancient Shu people, and later generations called these people living in the Minshan River Valley the Shushan clan. The Yellow Emperor married a woman from the Shushan clan as a concubine and gave birth to a son Silkworm Cong, who was a sericulture expert and was known as the Silkworm Cong clan. The silkworm congs established the ancient Shu Kingdom, and built the capital in the silkworm tomb of Diexi Town, called the silkworm congdu. After the death of the Yellow Emperor's concubine, she was buried under the Silkworm Mountain, and Shu Mountain was renamed Silkworm Ridge Mountain, and the Silkworm Ridge was renamed the Silkworm Tomb Capital. In the Han Dynasty, Canling County was established, and during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Two Song Dynasties, it was renamed Canling County, and in the early Ming Dynasty, Canling set up a thousand households, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Canling Town. 
The three-day trip to the Nine Yellow Line is over, in addition to these three famous scenic spots, there are many scenery on the Nine Yellow Line, because of the time relationship is not all seen, such as the "Danyun Gorge" scenic spot in the Huanglong Scenic Area listed below, the "Jiuzhai Eternal Love" in Jiuzhaigou County, etc., I hope to be able to go there again in the future.
