before the journey
In the first half of 2022, there have been epidemics in many places in China, and the epidemic prevention policies in various places are different, which will bring certain risk impacts to tourism.It was not until mid-June that the itinerary to western Sichuan, Chengdu + Aba Prefecture was finally confirmed, and there was a sporadic epidemic in Chengdu more than half a month before this itinerary was set, because of the yearning for Jiuzhaigou, I was still thinking that if I couldn't pass from Chengdu, then I would consider adjusting to the itinerary of Gannan + Jiuzhaigou; Later, Chengdu lifted the ban, considering that entering and exiting Jiuzhaigou from Gannan, the epidemic prevention policy here in Sichuan is more troublesome, and it takes three days and two inspections to enter Sichuan to play attractions relatively freely, and the epidemic prevention troubles in and out of the two provinces will affect a certain amount of play time, and finally confirmed the itinerary of Chengdu + Aba Prefecture, and went to see the regret that was almost lost - Jiuzhaigou.
1. Preparation of destination epidemic prevention policies
Inthis period when the epidemic has not disappeared, the most important thing to consider for any travel is the local epidemic prevention policy, and sufficient preparation will not affect the itinerary. Sichuan requires low-risk green code personnel to scan the Sichuan code for registration, and a pop-up window will appear after scanning the Sichuan code, which needs to be completed within 24 hours, and the pop-up window will disappear after the negative result comes out to see the health green code of Sichuan, so that you can enter some shopping malls, scenic spots and other public places, otherwise you cannot enter, it is recommended to sample at the airport or train station in Sichuan for the first time, the nucleic acid test results take a lot of time, it may take more than ten hours, in order not to affect the itinerary to do the results early; In addition, after entering Sichuan, two tests need to be carried out in three days, after the first nucleic acid sampling, it takes more than 24 hours to carry out the second nucleic acid sampling, and after the two nucleic acid results are negative, it is basically unhindered in the Chengdu area. The first two nucleic acid tests of the Sichuan code are free, after the completion of the two inspections in three days, you need to pay later, you can choose to mix the test of 3.5 yuan/person, in addition, children can not scan the Sichuan code, but because the scenic spot needs a green code and nucleic acid report, it is still safer to need two inspections in three days.
Out of the Chengdu area, it is recommended to conduct a nucleic acid test one day in advance before entering Aba Prefecture, and at the same time, it is recommended to check once a day for the subsequent itinerary in Aba Prefecture, because basically every county in Aba Prefecture will have epidemic prevention inspections, and will look at the nucleic acid test report, the nucleic acid testing points in Aba Prefecture are not as many as in Chengdu, basically for the people's hospitals of each county, as long as it is not a tour group arrival, there are not many people, the sampling speed is quite fast, and the results are generally 8-24 hours.
2. Preparation of items
First of all, Aba Prefecture is a plateau area, it is recommended to eat rhodiola rosea in advance to prevent high reactions, more or less will have a certain effect, and at the same time bring ibuprofen capsules, glucose, convenient oxygen cylinders (can be purchased locally), can cope with the normal high reaction situation, high reaction varies from person to person, pay attention to your physical changes, don't panic, normal about three days have basically adapted, but pay attention to rest, especially beware of colds.
Secondly, during the epidemic period, masks, disinfectant tissues and other epidemic prevention materials are also a must.
Then on the plateau, the temperature difference between day and night in summer is large, so the clothes are mainly summer clothes, with a small amount of spring clothes and long sleeves, one thick and one thin coat, it is better to have a jacket, which can protect against the wind, and girls can bring long skirts to take pictures that look good; The plateau has strong ultraviolet rays, whether it is the prairie or Jiuzhaigou, there are many opportunities to be exposed to the sun outside, and sunscreen, hats, etc. need to be prepared.
Other items: cold medicine, stomach medicine, Zhengqi water, bandage, mosquito repellent, power bank, camera, electronic ear thermometer, electric razor, simple strip, capsule face towel, toiletry kit, mobile phone car holder, car charger, plastic bag, etc.
3. Accommodation preparation
This itinerary is from Chengdu to Aba, and then back to Chengdu, although the itinerary is not as early as the previous trip, most of them are accommodations booked in about a month, but as a diamond member of China-TravelNote, there are still certain discounts in accommodation, and now China-TravelNote can defer payment or pay after leaving the store, and book some accommodations that can be canceled for free, which is very guaranteed for travel during the epidemic period, as a China-TravelNote diamond member, enjoy a certain amount of early check-in and late check-out, It can be adjusted and exchanged according to the itinerary, which is very convenient.
The following are the hotels and B&Bs that stayed in according to the order of the itinerary this time:

4. Transportation Preparation
1) Airplane
Because after entering Sichuan, you need to have a negative nucleic acid test report within 24 hours to play relatively unimpeded, so in order not to waste time waiting for the nucleic acid report, we choose to take a night flight to Chengdu, and check it upon landing, you can use the time you sleep at night to reduce the time you wait for the nucleic acid report, otherwise the first day to Chengdu will be basically gone; Returning to Xiamen, it is still the same old rule, and the evening flight is full of travel time; During the epidemic period, in order to avoid staying at home and increasing the risk of epidemic in places where you may have to stay, direct flights were chosen; Chengdu has two airports, Shuangliu Airport, which is about 30 minutes' drive from the city, and Tianfu Airport, which is about an hour and a half drive from the city. Based on the situation and conditions, we finally Tibet Airlines (Xiamen to Chengdu) and Air China (Chengdu to Xiamen), Shuangliu Airport take-off and landing, as Xiamen people, Xiamen Airlines is the first choice, this time Tibet Airlines and Air China is the first time to fly, it is a new check-in, and the overall service and driving are good.
2) Car rental
Dueto the self-driving in Ningxia last year, the experience of using Borgward BX5 is very good, this time I still chose to rent Borgward BX5, the summer peak season, the total cost of 6 days is 1574 yuan, and now the Borgward car is also equipped with ETC, which is more convenient to pass through the highway.
3) Other transportation
Since the attractions arranged in Chengdu are not far away, and the epidemic is outside, there is no choice of public transportation. Most of them are mainly taxis, and there is no need to think about parking, which is convenient and comfortable.
5. Attraction tickets
Affected by the epidemic, each scenic spot has certain flow restrictions and diversions, if you can confirm the itinerary in advance, you can book and make an appointment in advance, and many attractions have certain requirements for nucleic acid testing time, pay attention to understanding the relevant policies of scenic spots before traveling, and arrange relevant nucleic acid testing in advance, otherwise it will affect the entry into the park; Some need to consider the particularity of scenic spots, such as the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, because giant pandas do not like heat, they hide when the weather is hot, if you want to see the eating and lively giant pandas, it is recommended to choose to go in the morning, and you have the best chance to see them before half past 10 in the morning; Basically, you can understand and book relevant tickets on the China-TravelNote platform, and China-TravelNote will have corresponding epidemic prevention reminders, which is very convenient.
6. Catering
Chengdu has more choices to eat, and Aba Prefecture is mainly based on Sichuan cuisine, Tibetan cuisine, halal, the overall taste is relatively heavy and greasy, and the amount is large, pay attention to the portion when ordering, and at the same time properly supplement vegetables will be better, the price is not expensive, our family of three, the average daily meal consumption is about 220 yuan, the cost performance is still good.

Day 1 (Friday, July 1, 2022), can't wait to set off
Onthis day, Brother Qi and Qi Ma just finished the school closure ceremony during the day, and I was going to turn on the airplane mode to go to Chengdu at night, my heart at work couldn't calm down, I originally put the car in the company parking lot, and came back from get off work to do the subway so that I could avoid the traffic jam during the rush hour on Friday, as a result, when I went home and Qi Ma and the others finished eating, I took a taxi to the airport, Suddenly found that I put my ID card on my car, made an emergency adjustment, let Qi Ma and the others check in their luggage and go through the security check first, I took a taxi back to the company to get my ID card, the traffic jam during the peak period, it took more than 1 hour to go back and forth, and it rained heavily, but fortunately, we are always used to arranging to the airport early, and the time is just in time, and there is no danger.
The first time I took Tibet Airlines, although it was late due to the weather, but the overall service and flight stability were good, and finally the plane arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport at more than 1 o'clock in the morning, turned on the mobile phone, and had received the inquiry from the hotel owner, because it was raining in Chengdu, and I was repeatedly worried about whether we landed safely, so I contacted the hotel owner, let the taxi over, the hotel reimbursed the fare, and the hotel owner waited for our family to arrive so late that he could sleep, and he was also very grateful to them.
To enter Sichuan, you need to scan the Sichuan code, and you need to do nucleic acid within 24 hours, otherwise the Sichuan health code will have a pop-up window, and many public places cannot enter, and you will do another nucleic acid at intervals of 24 hours to meet the requirements of 2 tests in 3 days to enter Sichuan, otherwise you will be given a yellow code. At the airport, there are staff to check the entry code for verification, and children can not use it. There is free nucleic acid testing outside the airport, which should be 24 hours a day, we arrive at 1 o'clock, there are few people at this time, and sleeping can waste the time waiting for nucleic acid results. When I arrived at the hotel, I washed and slept, and I waited for the nucleic acid results tomorrow, so I was not in a hurry, so I slept until I woke up naturally.
Day 2 (2022.7.2, Saturday), first impression of the taste of Chengdu - bowl chicken
Because of waiting for the nucleic acid results, today's itinerary is relatively easy, sleep until you wake up naturally, the nucleic acid results have not yet come out, check out of the hotel, take a taxi to the hotel in Chengdu, although there is a pop-up window in the Sichuan code, but you can stay in hotels and restaurants to eat, we have checked in the hotel check-in procedures in Chengdu at about 11 o'clock, and the nucleic acid has not yet come out; Plan to eat Granny Ye Bobo Chicken for lunch, walk from the hotel, pass Chunxi Road, IFS, Taikoo Li, you can only see, there is a pop-up code in addition to Chunxi Road can also enter, the mall is not entered, to Granny Ye Bobo Chicken to eat first, I used to look at the name and thought it was a chicken practice, but I actually understood that it was a skewer, worthy of being a very famous restaurant, there are a lot of people queuing up to eat, but the turnover is also quite fast, delicious, and the cost performance is also good.
From Granny Ye's bowl chicken, the Sichuan health code still has a pop-up window, the weather is a little sultry, so we went back to the hotel to rest, about 17 o'clock in the afternoon, relatively not hot, The negative nucleic acid report also came out, and there was no pop-up window for the Sichuan health code, so we could go out for a walk.Walk to Xiyue City Tan Douhua for dinner, a traditional old store, very special tofu pudding cooking method, ordered tofu pudding noodles, sweet water noodles, ice crushed tofu pudding, only ordered one serving, 30 yuan, cost-effective, as a dessert to taste the taste, and then you can eat some other delicacies.
Xiyue City Tan Douhua came out, wandered all the way, found that there were a lot of mother's hoof flowers on the streets of Chengdu, and found that there were many diners in the Wang mother's hoof flower, which should not taste bad, and ordered a set meal, hoof flowers, tofu flower fat sausage, dry pot cauliflower, fruit and vegetable cold noodles, seasonal vegetables, etc., the portion is very large, only 99 yuan, the taste is very good, and it supports us.
After the meal, stroll all the way to Taikoo Li, there is a very famous naked-eye 3D, we also came to join in the fun, although the time is not long, but the picture is still good, Brother Qi likes it very much. I saw the night view on Chunxi Road, but I didn't choose to enter the mall, I took a taxi to Jiuyanqiao to see the bar street in Chengdu, I really saw it, because we didn't enter the bar at all, haha. Jiuyanqiao Bar Street is located on the banks of the Minjiang River, and at night, it is also good to drink a little wine by the river and listen to songs.
On the 3rd day (Sunday, July 3, 2022), Jinsha visited historical sites, Wuhou Three Kingdoms, Shu style ancient rhyme opera, and night visit to Kuanzhai Alley
Today's itinerary is full, but it is also a scenic spot in Chengdu, because it takes 3 days and 2 inspections, in the morning to the nearest Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital testing point of the hotel, the good guy has a lot of thieves, queuing for an hour to finally get it, in fact, there will be testing points near some scenic spots, for example, we arrived at the Jinsha Site Museum to find that there are also testing points here, and there are still very few people, so we can flexibly choose points to reduce time waste.
The first stop is the Jinsha Site Museum, which was built and opened on the original site of the Jinsha site in 2007, showing the mysterious ancient Shu culture and the unique bronze civilization, which culturally belongs to the continuation of the Sanxingdui culture, there are many similarities, the most famous in the Jinsha site is the sun god bird gold leaf, which is used as the main pattern of the image of Chengdu city, if the time itinerary cannot go to Sanxingdui, it is also a good choice to come to the Jinsha site.
Lunch I found a nearby Todd casserole, a very good restaurant, garlic shrimp is amazing, a set meal is 110 yuan, Affordable and delicious, highly recommended.
The second stop is Wuhou Temple, Wuhou Temple is an ancestral hall commemorating Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China, Wuhou Temple is named because Zhuge Liang was named Marquis of Wuxiang during his lifetime, Wuhou Temple is adjacent to Han Zhaolie Temple, Liu Bei's tomb (Huiling), there are many statues of generals and scribes in the Three Kingdoms period, if you are a fan of the Three Kingdoms, you can come and see, in general, this is a historical ancient building complex, don't expect much from the statues of generals and scribes, otherwise there will be a gap; I prefer some quiet corners outside the main halls of the Wuhou Temple, which have a deeper artistic conception; There is also a red Internet celebrity wall here, the red wall is matched with green bamboo, the photo is very blockbuster, there are many people who come to admire it, want to take a picture of no one, need time, it is recommended to come over 30 minutes before the park closes in the afternoon, there are very few people, easy to take pictures.
third stop is Shu Feng Yayun, Shu Feng Yayun Sichuan Theater is located in the Municipal Cultural Park, there is a large pond of lotus flowers in the park, come early, you can take pictures of the lotus flowers, watch the square dance, Drink some tea again, and it's quite good.Shu style elegant rhyme, traditional pear garden stage, semi-open, bamboo chairs, cattail fans, eating melon seeds, gaiwan tea, listening to Sichuan opera, erhu suona, looking at the puppet hand shadow play, the classic clown drama is amazing, the finale changes faces to ignite the audience, the audience laughs, applause, the interaction is very good, very worthwhile.
The fourth stop is Kuanzhai Alley, Shu Feng Yayun has come out at more than 21:30, arrived at Kuanzhai Alley, the merchants have slowly closed the store, we took a few photos of this trip by light, and went home, and found Wallace to quickly solve dinner near the hotel, and after walking for a day, I did a pedicure on the Shangle Foot Road upstairs in Wallace, more than 150 for two people, affordable, and the technique is quite passable, so that the fatigue of the body has been relieved, and the day's walking has come to an end.
On the 4th day (Monday, July 4, 2022), the eastern suburbs remembered to watch the time, and tasted the fragrance of tea in the Wenshu Monastery
In the morning, it is arranged for the memory of the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, a niche attraction, the former Chengdu state-owned red light electron tube factory, known as "Shougang in the north, red light in the south", now the original factory has been relocated, the original factory building as a whole is preserved, designed as today's cultural and creative park, the future and the past are intertwined, there are not many tourists, you can slowly explore. Due to today's loose itinerary, sleep until you wake up naturally, check out and leave your luggage in the hotel, when you take a taxi to the eastern suburbs of memory, it is almost noon, then solve the lunch problem first, walk around the eastern suburbs memory to take a look, walk into the restaurant called Dongjiao canteen, the restaurant space is very large, using some old objects in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, illustrations and some old equipment of the former Chengdu state-owned red light tube factory for decoration, quite interesting, the amount of dishes is sufficient, cost-effective, we have fish and meat, eat to eat, the cost is 155 yuan, it is worth recommending.
the afternoon memories of the eastern suburbs, there are very few tourists, and the park seems to be very empty, but it is also convenient to play and shoot, walking through various pipelines, old equipment and large chimneys, looking at the old factory, It seems to have returned to the busy period of the red light tube factory at that time, when the workers were working hard and lamenting the passage of time.
In the afternoon, I came out of the memory of the eastern suburbs and went to Wenshu Monastery; Wenshu Monastery, the first of the four major Zen forests in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, is full of incense and is said to be super effective; Wenshu Monastery is an excellent place for blockbusters on the red wall, and basically major travel bloggers and experts will come here to show off their shooting skills; After visiting Wenshu Monastery, you can have a pint of Zen tea in the Wenshu Monastery Xiangyuan next door, if you are interested, you can copy the scriptures, spend the sultry afternoon leisurely, and you can also eat vegetarian food in the fragrant garden at night, the vegetarian hot pot is really good, self-service, a variety of different soups, and a variety of vegetarian products, will make you feast, our three small hot pots are only 168 yuan.
After dinner, leave Wenshu Monastery, pick up the car at the car rental point, this time Borgward BX5 is a big white, the car condition is good, Chengdu limited number, the car rental company will arrange vehicles that can pass the license plate according to the date you pick it up, you don't have to worry; Drive back to Huayue Qingju Hotel, pick up the stored luggage, and drive to the Panda B&B, because the area is close to the giant panda breeding research base, the primary school is called Panda Primary School, the middle school is called Panda Middle School, and the living communities are more or less decorated with giant panda-related decorations, such as the giant panda elements of our panda homestay full of houses, which is very warm.
On the 5th day (Tuesday, July 5, 2022), the giant panda base is looking for cuteness, and Pingtou Qiangzhai sees the Qiang soul
Getup early this morning, and when I arrived at the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, it was only about 7 o'clock, half an hour before the park opened, but there was already a long queue, and the big guy was too hard, fortunately, it was not too late, looking at the continuous stream of follow-up people, we were in the front. The Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base is located on the shallow hill on the side of Axe Mountain in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, and has built scientific research buildings, open research laboratories, veterinary hospitals, animal houses and panda activity grounds, Swan Lake, Giant Panda Museum, Giant Panda Hospital, Giant Panda Kitchen, etc., forming a green bamboo and tree, birds and flowers, integrating natural mountain scenery and beautiful artificial landscapes, and is suitable for the ecological environment of giant pandas and a variety of rare wild animals to live and reproduce. The giant panda breeding research base simulates the wild ecological environment of giant pandas by landscaping, with a green coverage rate of 96%, and builds an ecological environment suitable for the habitat and reproduction of giant pandas and a variety of rare wild animals. The Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base has more than 230 giant pandas from the initial 6 sick giant pandas, which is the hard work of breeding research and protection workers, so that our national treasure giant pandas can continue, and we can see the cute giant pandas so closely.
The Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base now has the original old area, as well as the expanded new area, the old area is close to the south gate, the new area is close to the west gate, the new and old areas can be connected on foot, or you can take a sightseeing bus, the cost is 10 yuan/person; The old area mainly has sub-adult giant panda villas, juvenile giant panda villas, giant panda sun delivery rooms, giant panda moon delivery rooms, giant panda No. 2 villas, red panda delivery rooms, red panda No. 2 activity fields, giant panda No. 14 animal houses, giant panda museums, etc., generally everyone mainly plays the old area, you can walk from the south gate to climb the hill from the bottom to the top to play, this is suitable for young people with physical strength, you can also take a sightseeing bus at the south gate, the cost is 10 yuan / person, directly to the giant panda sun delivery room, top to bottom play, save time and effort, Even in the summer peak season, it takes nearly half an hour to queue up for sightseeing buses in the morning; The new area is mainly composed of Shanyue Pavilion, Yunyue Pavilion, Mingyue Pavilion, Jiangyue Pavilion, Lanyue Pavilion, Panda Pedestrian Street, Panda Tower, etc., using more modern venues, and the area is also larger, but if you have finished visiting the old area, it is not particularly time and physical strength, it is not recommended to run to the new area, because you see the giant pandas in the old area and then come to the new area, most of the giant pandas here have come back from outdoor activities, and the weather has also begun to heat up, basically they have begun to sleep, and the new area has to take a sightseeing bus back to the old area, you can only ride at the west gate, Otherwise, it is basically impossible to do it, if you have walked to the Panda Tower, you can only bite the bullet and walk back to the old area, so it is not recommended to play together in the old and new areas without physical strength and time.
chooses herself After playing in the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base for most of the day, I left at more than 14 o'clock, drove to Pingtou Qiangzhai in Maoxian County, and passed through the Dujiangyan Scenic Area on the way, considering the time problem (I spent a lot of time in the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base), I originally wanted to walk the river dam to overlook Dujiangyan, but I couldn't find the way around for a long time, so I gave up, and Dujiangyan stayed for next time.After getting off the highway from Wenchuan, there began to be epidemic prevention personnel checking the health code and nucleic acid report, and they were reminded that the nucleic acid report had passed 48 hours, and they needed to be tested as soon as possible, and arrived at the nearest Wenchuan County Personnel Hospital for nucleic acid testing, 3,5 yuan/person, mixed testing, no one queued up for testing, and it was over quickly. Starting from Wenchuan County, we will conduct a nucleic acid test at the local county people's hospital every day in Aba Prefecture, because there will be epidemic prevention personnel between basically every county in Aba Prefecture, and we are prepared.
Maoxian is the largest gathering place of Qiang people in the country, originally Aba Prefecture was called Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, and then changed its name to Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in 1987 due to the consideration of the Qiang problems in Wenchuan and Mao County, Aba Prefecture. Our foothold in Maoxian this time is Pingtou Qiang Village in Maoxian County, which is one of the wealthier villages in Maoxian County, with strong Qiang style, beautiful scenery and harmonious ecology, a characteristic tourist Qiang village integrating sightseeing, leisure, vacation and entertainment, and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.
Check in at the Pingtou Country Hotel in Maoxian County, and then go to the village to stroll around, the sheep is the most primitive totem of the Qiang people, and the sheep totem can be seen everywhere, Pingtou Qiang Village was rebuilt after the "5.12" earthquake, basically retaining the original style, but improving the earthquake resistance, the characteristic house and decoration, very interesting; There are viewing platforms and trails on the back mountain of the village, climbing to the top, overlooking the entire Mao County, we arrived a little late, did not go up to the highest point; It was found that every household in the village was planted with fruit trees, which were fruitful. For dinner, we all ate to the taste of the farmhouse Qiang characteristic hot pot in Maoxian County, an authentic local restaurant, and a Qiang specialty bacon hot pot set meal for 138 yuan.
Day 6 (Wednesday, July 6, 2022), beautiful black water, vast red plains
In the morning, I drove to the next destination, Hongyuan, drove from Maoxian to Heishui County, first went to Heishui County People's Hospital to complete the nucleic acid, and met the staff who had worked in Xiamen Jimei for several years before meeting the hospital.Enter Heishui County, start to enter the Tibetan gathering place, if you come in winter, you must go to the Dagu Glacier in Heishui County, this is the youngest glacier in the world, you can take the ropeway up, there is an Internet celebrity glacier café, very big, but unfortunately in summer, the glacier does not have much snow, so it is not in our itinerary.
Between Heishui County and Hongyuan Prairie, it is to pass through a mountain, all the way along the Heishui River, and also pass through the Maoerge Hydropower Station Dam, which blocks this section of the Heishui River into a beautiful Heishui Lake; Continue to open, the valley is continuous, the two sides of the river are colorful in autumn, with the blue sky and green water must be very beautiful, we passed by the colorful Jiazu Village, attracted by the colorful houses in the village and stopped, inadvertently found that the red maple in the village is very beautiful, and the blue sky echoes each other, beautiful stunned.
Arrive at noon in the valley - Yangronghad, which means "place to start to happiness" in Tibetan, a quiet little village in the mountains, In the afternoon, rest quietly by the river, blowing the wind and take a lunch break, there are no tourists at this time, you can enjoy a peace.
reading At more than 17 o'clock in the evening, we continued to set off, drove out of the Heishui River Canyon area, and began to slowly enter the area of the plateau prairie - the red plain steppe, the yaks along the way gradually increased, the yellow, red, and purple flowers on the prairie opened to their heart's content, the sky was blue, and the picture felt super clear, which was a familiar plateau grass landscape, and it felt like it had returned to Qinghai and Shangri-La.
It should be all the way from a low altitude of 3,500 meters to Hongyuan County, arrived at the Hongyuan Home Hotel, and climbed the 4th floor of the mountain with luggage, the high reaction was particularly serious, it seems that the past few plateau trips, let yourself be a little underestimated, now it is uncomfortable, you can't eat dinner and just want to sleep, and you don't even bother to look at the Hongyuan Music Fountain outside the hotel.
the hotel On the 7th day (Thursday, July 7, 2022), Hongyuan Ruoerge, the unchanging yak and Tibetan sheep, just gallop all the way
Last night, a family of three had varying degrees of high reaction, after getting up today, everyone's mental state was obviously not as good as a few days ago, I slept one night, compared with last night, the situation was a little better, slowly walked to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, along the way needed to pass by a very clear river, under the blue sky, Hongyuan County in the early morning and last night were surging, the noisy situation was completely different, the empty streets, the people were sparse, such Hongyuan made people more comfortable; After eating breakfast and feeling the peace and beauty of Hongyuan, I felt that my spirit had recovered, so I went to Hongyuan County People's Hospital to test nucleic acid, and then continued to drive to my next destination, Ruoerge.
In order to replenish and recover more physical strength, after lunch in Tangke Town at noon, I studied a little, abandoned the first bay of the Yellow River and Ruoerge Flower Lake, and went directly to Ruoerge County, leaving time to rest, and running away without tossing, and later found that Qi Ma's high anti-rebellion was larger than yesterday, proving that it was right not to toss various scenic spots, otherwise maybe everyone would be tired, come out to play, first of all, physical health is the most important, to have fun , instead of playing for the sake of playing, the house should be abandoned.
I slept in the Ruoerge Hotel all afternoon, we also tried oxygen inhalation for the first time, I went there, it turned out that high reverse oxygen intake is so comfortable, effectively relieving all kinds of discomfort, I told Qi's mother, if I had known that it was so cool, I went to take oxygen last night, hold on, and feel uncomfortable, so I reminded myself, if it is indeed high and uncomfortable, proper oxygen inhalation is really necessary, don't listen to the saying that oxygen inhalation will depend, personal physique is different, mainly depends on yourself.
On the 8th day (Friday, July 8, 2022), 3000 A magical boundary, smooth sailing after Chuanjuji
Temple Due to oxygen inhalation, although there is still some high reaction today, but it is still in an acceptable atmosphere, after the nucleic acid test in Ruoerge County People's Hospital, continue the trip, the next stop is Chuanzhusi Town; Speaking of magic, we drove to Chuanzhusi Town at noon, here it is obvious that the high reaction is gone, the head does not hurt, it is relaxed all of a sudden, the whole family is not high rebellion, check the altitude, more than 2900 meters, down the boundary of 3000 meters, and the magical high reaction is all good.
Chuanzhusi Town is named after the Chuanzhusi Temple founded in 1270 in the original town, the town is located in Jiuzhaigou, Ruoerge, Songpan, Huanglong traffic arteries, very suitable for transit rest, there is also a monument to the Red Army's Long March, if you have time, you can stop by to see; After lunch in Chuanzhusi Town, wandering by the river in the town, it was supposed to be a lively traffic artery, but it has been a bit depressed due to the epidemic in recent years, but the quiet town also has a unique style.
Chuanzhu Temple, referred to as "Zhuolun Gongpa", the temple at the beginning of liberation covers an area of 27 acres, various halls and more than 80 houses, very majestic, but unfortunately it was later damaged due to special reasons, only the treasure of the town temple, some cultural relics and scriptures have been preserved, the existing Chuanzhu Temple is a large hall rebuilt in situ, compared with the past Stretching Buddha Hall, people can't help but sigh, lamenting the vicissitudes of the past.
From Chuanzhusi Town to Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, you will pass by several lavender manors along the way, or you can pay to enter them, watch them up close, or watch them from a distance outside the manor. It is also very beautiful and spectacular.
At about 18 o'clock, we arrived at Pengfeng Village next to the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, there have been a lot of cars parked here, fortunately we came relatively early, near the door of the homestay, the parking space reserved by the boss can be parked, and the boss has no parking space to park, so we have to drive to the back mountain to find a parking space. Pengfeng Village is the largest distribution center recently entering the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, which is very convenient for eating, drinking, living and traveling, as a popular scenic spot in Jiuzhaigou, bringing together people from all over the world, which is very lively.
Check in, walk around, buy some dry food for tomorrow's Jiuzhaigou day trip, dinner Jiuzhaigou Himalayan Tibetan meal bar, a cost-effective Tibetan meal, a set meal 187 yuan, yak beef cover, highland barley nest head, Tibetan bibimbap, fried wild vegetables, butter tea, sufficient portion, good taste, good environment, worth recommending.
On the 9th day (Saturday, July 9, 2022), Jiuzhai returned without looking at the water, and the paradise on earth was in Jiuzhai
The Jiuzhaigou earthquake in 2017 made us think that this beautiful paradise was about to disappear while thinking about the trapped people, fortunately, God blesses China, the gift of nature is still there, this trip to Sichuan, the most important destination is Jiuzhaigou, the beauty of Jiuzhaigou, not to mention, Jiuzhai returns without looking at the water, the paradise on earth is in Jiuzhai.
Jiuzhaigou will be basically open to the whole territory on National Day in 2021, Rizegou can extend from the Panda Sea to the primeval forest, the entire Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is composed of three major parts: Shuzhenggou, Rizegou, and Zechawagou, with Nuorilang Central Station as the crossover point, forming a Y-shape, of which Shuzhenggou and Rizegou have more and compact points, these two places require some walking, and the main two scenic spots of Chawagou are Changhai and Wucai Pond, after seeing these two points, if it is not very abundant time and physical strength and its abundance , basically take the sightseeing bus directly back to Nuorilang Center Station.
Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is very large, the scenic spot adopts the form of sightseeing bus + walking plank road for tourists to choose from, can be arranged according to their own travel time, physical condition to make arrangements that is, adjustments, if there is time, Jiuzhaigou is best to have two full days to enjoy the view, so that you can better enjoy the beautiful scenery and not be too tired, but because Jiuzhaigou only sells one-day tickets, and cannot stay in the scenic spot, the two-day tour needs to buy two tickets, which will be relatively high in terms of time and money costs; It is also possible to enter the park early after a day trip, and use sightseeing buses to save physical strength in some areas where the scenery of the pedestrian road is more general, and some non-essential attractions can be selected according to the actual situation.
According to our own actual situation, we planned a one-day trip to Jiuzhaigou, the route is roughly from the entrance of the scenic spot to the last stop of Rizegou primeval forest, and then go back to Nuorilang Central Station, turn to the Changhai and Wucai Pond in Zechawagou, and then return to Nuorilang Central Station, from here to visit Shuzhenggou scenic spots to Goukou out of the scenic spot. Go to the entrance of the scenic spot early in the morning to queue up, in order to reach the entrance as soon as possible, choose to take a taxi to go, cross the road of people walking, the peak time is less than 3 kilometers away 20 yuan, not too expensive, but at least there are hundreds of people in line; The park opens at half past seven, there are many people queuing up at about seven o'clock, a lot of tour groups, we are okay, the front is still close to the entrance, the beginning of entering the park, about 10 minutes through the temperature measurement, code checking to the entrance of the sightseeing bus to queue, there are many cars, about 10 minutes to line up the sightseeing bus, officially enter the scenic spot, about 30 minutes of driving, detour to the primeval forest station.
primeval forest station sea wave is more than 3000 meters, the primeval forest in the early morning, it is still quite cold, you need to bring a coat, although the altitude is high, But the forest coverage rate is very high, as long as it is not strenuous exercise, there is generally no high reaction, and the clean air in the forest is very comfortable to walk in.
The primeval forest descends through the sword cliff spring and comes to the sea of grass, at an altitude of 2910 meters, this is an alpine wetland, growing a variety of exotic flowers and plants, all kinds of flowers and plants and flowing water, Walking on the quiet forest plank road, the beautiful scenery here is so natural and beautiful.
1 km away from the Fangcao Sea is the Swan Sea, with an altitude of more than 2900 meters, which is more special in the Jiuzhai group of seas, it is a semi-swamp lake, and the water and grass in this area are fertile. It attracts swans to inhabit and breed, so it is called the Swan Sea, and summer is not the season for swans to come here, and there are no swans playing in it.
Continue down to the Arrow Bamboo Sea, one of the essence attractions in the Rize Gully, generally the travel time is limited, will get off here, do not go up to the primeval forest, here is more than 2,600 meters above sea level, because of the wide growth of arrow bamboo around, there are some calcified dead wood in the Arrow Bamboo Sea, the dead wood that emerges from the water will grow new small trees, called dead wood in spring, is a spectacle.
The Arrow Bamboo Sea Waterfall located below the Arrow Bamboo Sea is the first waterfall seen today, the waterfall is 150m wide and the waterfall is 2-5m high, the water of the Arrow Bamboo Sea flows into the forest, and there is a dam formed by the collapse of the forest, and the flowing water is divided into many bundles by the embankment, and falls along the embankment, forming the Arrow Bamboo Sea Waterfall. The span of the Arrow Bamboo Sea Waterfall is very large, and the drop is small, which is an arc waterfall.
The next stop is another essence attraction in Rizegou - Panda Sea, which is 2587 meters above sea level and 14 meters deep, and it is said that giant pandas are often active here, so it is named Panda Sea. The water in Panda Sea is a bit blue-green, not very dark, but it looks particularly beautiful in the sun.
Coming down from the Panda Sea, reaching the most famous Wuhua Sea in Jiuzhaigou, with an altitude of 2,472 meters and a depth of 5 meters, it is the most wonderful attraction among all the attractions in Jiuzhaigou, known as the "essence of Jiuzhai"; The Five Flowers Sea is colorful due to the travertine deposits on the seabed, various colors of algae and the reflection of colorful trees on the shore, which is beautiful at any shot, but it is also a place where tourists gather.
Located about 0.5 kilometers downstream of Wuhuahai, reaching Pearl Beach Waterfall, 2,443 meters above sea level, 21 meters high and 162 meters wide, is a typical combined landscape in Jiuzhaigou, and the scene of the opening of the large-scale TV series "Journey to the West" "You carry the burden, I lead the horse" was filmed. This is also a tourist attraction, and there will be some group photo items of Journey to the West master and apprentice.
After the Pearl Beach Waterfall, come to the Mirror Sea, at an altitude of 2390 meters, the average water depth is 11 meters, the deepest is about 24 meters, the Mirror Sea is like a mirror, the reflection dominates Jiuzhai, if the sky is clear, before 9:00 a.m. and after 17:00 p.m. is the best time to photograph the Mirror Sea, and the scenery at this time is the most beautiful. Due to the problem of travel time, there is no arrangement to Jinghai before 9 a.m., the first time to Jinghai has been more than 13 o'clock, the wind is strong and the lake is not quiet, and it is not possible to form a good mirror effect, but at this time there are very few tourists in Jinghai, there are many shades, and it is also a good choice to rest and eat something again and replenish energy.
Jinghai takes a sightseeing bus to Nuorilang Central Station, transfers to the sightseeing bus in Zechawa, and takes about 30 minutes to reach Changhai, which is located at the end of Zechawa Gully, with an altitude of 3,101 meters, a total length of about 4,350 meters, a width of 300 meters, a depth of 90 meters, and a storage capacity of 45 million cubic meters.The plane is "S" shaped, belonging to glacial dammed lakes and freshwater lakes, and is the highest altitude, the deepest lake, and the largest area and storage capacity in Jiuzhaigou. Changhai can also be regarded as the mother of all the seas in Jiuzhaigou. Because the Changhai has no water outlet, it can only rely on evaporation and underground rivers to discharge water, and these underground channels are important supplies for other Haizi water sources.
Coming down from the long sea, we arrived at another essence attraction in Jiuzhaigou - Colorful Pool, at an altitude of 2,995 meters, which is the essence of Jiuzhaigou Lake, and is the smallest and most colorful pool in Jiuzhaigou. According to legend, the colorful pool is the place where the goddess Se Yan groomed, and the male god came from the long sea to fetch water for her every day, and over time,'s feet stepped on 198 steps on the cliff, and the rouge washed off Se Yan on her face also became this amazing colorful pool.
Under the kind arrangement of the staff of the scenic spot, we took an empty car from the Noorilang Center at about 17 o'clock to the scenic spot to reach the Mirror Sea, but at this time the wind was still strong, unable to form a complete mirror surface, or unfortunately could not see the perfect reflection of the mirror sea, in order not to affect the subsequent itinerary of Shuzhenggou, we could only regret leaving.
Return to Norilang Central Station, walk past Nozhilang Waterfall, 2365 meters above sea level, 270 meters wide, At 24.5 meters high, it is the widest travertine waterfall found in our country so far. In Tibetan, Nuorilang means majestic and tall, so Nuorilang Waterfall means majestic waterfall.
Coming out of the Nuorilang Waterfall, we began to enter Shuzhenggou, all the way to the mouth of the ditch, first to reach the Rhino Sea, which is 2315 meters above sea level, and the water is open, which is the second largest sea after Changhai in Jiuzhaigou. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a seriously ill and dying Tibetan lama who rode a rhinoceros here. When he drank the lake water here, his illness miraculously recovered.So the old lama drank the lake water here day and night, was reluctant to leave, and finally rode a rhinoceros into the sea and settled here permanently, which was called the Rhino Sea. The reflection we didn't see in the Mirror Sea was fortunate to meet in the Rhino Sea, and the reflection in the lake and mountains was beautiful.
The next one arrives at Shuzheng Waterfall, which is 2295 meters above sea level, 25 meters high, and the top of the waterfall is 72 meters wide, located in the upper reaches of Shuzheng Group. Before the formation of Shuanglonghai Waterfall, it was the first waterfall in Jiuzhaigou.
On the sightseeing bus from Shuzheng Waterfall to Goukou on the way back, I accidentally saw a beautiful sea, and then got off the bus, which is the sea of sparks restored after the earthquake, with an algement of 2,187 meters and a depth of 9 meters, located between the Shuanglong Sea and the Wolong Sea. In the 2017 Jiuzhaigou earthquake, the most affected was the sea of sparks, and after three years of unremitting efforts and scientific repair, the sea of sparks is now back. Due to the discharge of spark seawater after the earthquake, the water area of the downstream Shuanglong Sea area expanded, forming a new attraction - Shuanglong Sea Waterfall.
When I arrived at Shuanglonghai, I took a sightseeing bus back to Goukou, which lasted 12 hours, ending this trip to Jiuzhaigou, although the two feet basically did not belong to me, But seeing the peerless beauty with your own eyes, being in it, it's all worth it.
At the entrance of the scenic spot, we took a car for 15 yuan back to the inn, we were hungry and didn't want to go anymore, to the cherry creative kitchen next to the inn, the boss is the chef, very talkative, the grilled fish is very fragrant, very flavorful, the slightly spicy taste is very in line with us, the simple stir-fried cabbage is the best green dish for our trip to Sichuan, in general, the taste is very good, the cost is not cheap, but it is worth tasting; While eating and chatting with the boss, I learned that our breakfast tomorrow may be the last day's breakfast he undertakes, he is really too busy, the boss's cooking skills are really good, and it can be regarded as fate, although I didn't eat their breakfast this morning because I was in a hurry to enter the scenic spot, I can't miss it tomorrow.
10 (Sunday, July 10, 2022), the fairy pool is ennoble, and the ancient tea horse road is visiting Songzhou
In the morning, I went to the Cherry Creative Kitchen next door for breakfast, and the boss's breakfast was not bad, with rice porridge and cakes, just right. Due to the weather being a bit cloudy today, the weather forecast may be rainy, considering the weather and high reaction problems, we temporarily decided to adjust the itinerary, abandon the itinerary of the Huanglong Scenic Area, and turn to the Nenensang Cuo, also known as the Little Huanglong Xiaojiuzhai, also known as the Immortal Pool, which means the place where the fairy bathes, this is a niche attraction, although it is only 55 kilometers away from the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, but the mountain road is N turned. It takes 1.5 hours to drive, high mountain cliffs, fog, and relatively troublesome to reach, so there are very few tourists, especially group tourists, almost none; There is a calcification pool of the same style as Huanglong, the altitude is much lower than that of Huanglong, there will be no high reaction, the scenic spot is not large, there are few people and quiet, there is a feeling of being in a paradise; here basically have to rely on walking, about 2-3 hours, a little physically exhausting, the lotus terrace color pool is the best attraction in the entire scenic spot, like a fairyland.
In the afternoon, the Nenensang Cuo Scenic Area came out, drove about 130 kilometers, and drove about 3 hours to the ancient city of Songzhou, the ancient town of the original tea horse road, which is now the ancient city of Songpan, which is the humanistic responsibility of Songpan County, this ancient city that has gone through thousands of years with amazing inclusiveness, accommodating people of Tibet, Qiang, Hui, Han and other ethnic groups to live here, here is the gateway to western Sichuan, the ancient city is 2850 meters above sea level, known as the "ancient city of the plateau", when we arrived, it was late, in the night tour of the ancient city with a little coolness, the night view of the ancient city is still good.For dinner, we chose the famous dairy beef restaurant in the ancient city, the dairy beef hot pot here is very good, the tomato pot base we ordered is a must, the soup is very good, a meal of 137 yuan, cost-effective, the grilled yak skewers in front of their house are very good, you must try it.
the 11th day (Monday, July 11, 2022), the dust left Aba and found a good place in the downtown
areaToday we are leaving the beautiful Aba Prefecture, which is a mysterious and beautiful place, and there will be a time to meet again; 82 kilometers by car, about 1.5 hours passing by Diexi Haizi, this is a beautiful place, there will be herders by the sea to provide white yaks symbolizing "auspiciousness, peace, kindness, and beauty" for tourists to take pictures, the impression is 10-20 yuan a time.On August 25, 1933, a strong earthquake of magnitude 7.5 occurred in Diexi Town, between Songpan and Mao County, Sichuan, located in the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Diexi Qiang City in northwestern Sichuan, which has been located in the center of Diexi since ancient times, disappeared after falling 500 meters, it was erased from the map with a moment of huge tremor, and the strong earthquake caused landslides on both sides of the Min River, blocking the river channel and forming an earthquake lake. The collapsed mountain built three dams on the Min River: Yinping Cliff, the Bridge, and the Diexi River, cutting off the Min River and cutting off the Min River with a flow of thousands of cubic meters per second. The cut off river immediately flowed backwards, sweeping away pastoral farmhouses, cattle, horses, and livestock. According to statistics, more than 6,800 people died in the earthquake area. This is the most tragic earthquake in Sichuan in modern times, which has left an extremely terrifying page in human history, which reminds us to revere nature, love nature, and finally realize the harmony between man and nature.
After passing Diexi Haizi, driving about 60 kilometers, driving for more than 1 hour to Mao County, passing by the ancient Qiang City scenic spot in China, considering that it is still necessary to rush back to Chengdu and most of the ancient Qiang City scenic spots in China are newly built antique man-made scenery after the earthquake, so I took a photo and left; At noon, we had lunch at Maoxian County's stone-ground tofu pudding home-cooked food, this store has a large portion, don't order too much, we ordered three dishes to support and not finish eating, the price is not expensive, a total cost of 106 yuan.
rises Leaving Mao County, driving past Wenchuan People's Hospital to do a nucleic acid test first, continue to drive to Chengdu, arrive at the car rental point at about 18 o'clock, and after a few days of self-driving, take a taxi to the Chengdu Edge Time Hotel to check in. For dinner, under the recommendation of the homestay owner Taiban, we went to Chengdu Yuzong Laozao Hot Pot not far from the homestay; Since we have come to Chengdu, we must try the authentic Sichuan hot pot, but with our ability to resist spiciness, we still ordered the mandarin duck pot weakly, and as a result, most of our ingredients were put into the non-spicy pot.The ingredients of Chengdu Yuzong old stove hot pot are still good, I like the blood the most, a four-person set meal is 188 yuan, and the price is moderate.
There are many restaurants here, and there are cultural and creative markets in the evening, many people on the road are drinking and chatting by the river, and they will meet a lot of street photographers, from time to time some photographers with long guns and short cannons press the shutter to the handsome men and beauties in the past, and the handsome men and beauties are also naturally photographed, this is a young and fashionable neighborhood, that is, Chengdu is too hot, sitting by the river really admire their heat resistance, let's go back to the homestay to blow the air conditioner.
the 12th day (Tuesday, July 12, 2022), check in the geometry of the square, and a song Chengdu temporarily farewell
After waking up naturally after sleeping today, after depositing the luggage in the B&B, Qi's mother never forgot Granny Ye's bowl of chicken, anyway, not far from the B&B, then lunch, this time I came early, I didn't encounter the peak of queuing, it's good. After the meal, I walked to Taikoo Li's Fangsuo Bookstore, haha, I feel that every time we wait for the flight on the last day, we will choose to go to the bookstore, and this time we have more than one check-in, after reading books in Fangsuo for an afternoon, we returned to Chase Bay, and checked in again to another Internet celebrity bookstore - Geometry Bookstore, the two bookstores are compared, and the real choice of Fangsuo to read and buy books is a certain choice, geometric bookstore is more suitable for taking pictures, and the book is not as full and many.
I had dinner casually near Chase Bay, returned to the B&B before 18 o'clock to pick up my luggage, took a taxi for about 30 minutes to Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, the cost was 56 yuan, and the Air China plane took off on time at 20:30 in the evening, and the beautiful Sichuan trip came to an end, Sichuan still has too many beautiful places to explore and discover, or that sentence, we will come back.
end of a journey, that is not the end, that is the beginning of the next journey, looking forward to the beginning of the next stop, I hope that this epidemic will end soon and let everyone return to the normal track.
