Munigou is known as Xiaojiuzhai, with fewer tourists and a good tourism experience, but due to the dry season, Some lakes and scenic spots in the Erdaohai are showing signs of drying up.

Night accommodation: Jiuzhaigou Lotus Leaf Guest House, the biggest advantage is that it is close to the scenic spot, 5 minutes walk. Dinner is in the hotel restaurant, 3 home-cooked dishes (greens, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fish-flavored eggplant) for 68 yuan.

7-25 Day 3: Jiuzhaigou

The

scenic spot opens at 7:30, so rush to the gate of the scenic spot before 7:30 to stagger the peak of traffic as much as possible. Jiuzhaigou is a national attraction, even on weekdays, it is still crowded. We entered the park at 7:30 in the morning and left the park at 5:30 in the afternoon, and we just played for a while, and we didn't go to every attraction.

The

scenery of the three ditches has its own characteristics, the first ditch depends on the centralized scheduling of the bus into the park, and the tour order of the next two ditches can be freely decided.

The order of our visit this time is Rize Ditch - Zecha Wa Ditch - Shuzheng Ditch.

Accommodation: Jorge Tonk Holy Land Hotel, the local accommodation conditions are really poor, the hotel I stayed in had a serious smell, the walls were moldy, and I only fell asleep with the windows open at night.
