Talk about this trip

I have

been thinking about it for a long time, and finally caught the opportunity, the National Day set off two days in advance, the main attractions avoided the large army, the autumn temperature is comfortable, and overall I am satisfied.

The lake water in Jiuzhaigou became clearer and clearer after the rain, like a huge treasure mirror, reflecting the sky, mountains and green trees. The colorful colors make people feel like they are in a fairy tale.

Yellow dragon, that colorful calcification pool, is like a palette overturned by God. The cascading pools shimmer with charming brilliance in the sunlight. Blue, green, and yellow are intertwined, and they are breathtakingly beautiful.

Chengdu, an ancient and modern city, is full of fireworks. In the wide and narrow alleys, the antique buildings complement the stylish shops. People stroll leisurely here, taste various delicacies, and feel the slow life of Chengdu. Jinli Ancient Street is very lively, with red lanterns hanging high and a dazzling array of traditional handicrafts.

Sichuan's food is even more addictive. The spicy and fragrant aroma of hot pot, the richness and diversity of Sichuan cuisine, and the deliciousness of snacks make every bite endlessly memorable.
