Falls In the blink of an eye, another year has passed, and I still remember driving to Bipenggou in late autumn last year to see the snow-capped mountains and colorful forests, and the unique beauty of the western Sichuan Plateau is still vivid in my mind, and sometimes I think of it is evocative. Therefore, as soon as autumn comes, this heart that is greedy for "beauty" begins to move, Jiuzhaigou, Daocheng Yaden, Xinduqiao, Lixiaolu...... The beautiful scenery of western Sichuan is really countless, waiting for me to unlock it.

Shuzhengzhai

I'm ashamed to say that as a native of Sichuan, I have never been to Jiuzhaigou (it is said that my grandmother brought me here when I was 3 years old, but I have no impression at all). In the past, I felt that the boat was tiring, and I had to take the bus for at least seven or eight hours one way, but if there was a traffic jam on holidays, it was normal for more than ten hours, so I never planned to come to Jiuzhai. This year, the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway, which has been built for more than ten years, was finally opened to traffic! From Chengdu, it takes 3 and a half hours by bullet train + bus, and a weekend is enough to visit Jiuzhai and Huanglong. This big news aroused my desire to go to Jiuzhai! After the National Day, I began to plan this "just go" trip.

Traveling seems to be "just go" is not easy. First, the work of the unit has always made me uneasy, worried that I will not be able to get out of the situation at the last minute. In addition, with the opening of the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway, Jiuzhai tourism is super popular this year, and the number of tourists in the first ten months has set a new record for the whole year. The train ticket from Chengdu to Jiuzhai is even more difficult to find, but fortunately, we grabbed the ticket as we wished, and everything went smoothly at work. So, in the most beautiful late autumn, we finally realized our wish to visit Jiuzhai. Early in the morning of November 2, 2024, we embarked on the ...... of the Jiuzhai Yellow Dragon Tour

Let's talk about the itinerary of these two days first, at 5:40 a.m. on November 2, we set off for the East Railway Station, and the bullet train at 6:45 arrived at Jiuzhai Huanglong Station in an hour and a half. Although the station name is called this, it is still 40 minutes and 2 hours away from Huanglong Jiuzhai respectively, which is to protect the ecological environment and deliberately adjust the railway line. Our itinerary is to visit Huanglong during the day on the first day, stay overnight in Jiuzhaigou, visit Jiuzhaigou on the second day, and return to Chengdu in the evening. The itinerary is full, a bit like a special forces tour. The weather is still beautiful this weekend, and the first day is a sunny day, perfect for taking pictures. The weather forecast for the next day is for light rain throughout the day. In fact, it was a light rain for more than ten minutes after 8 o'clock in the morning, and then the sky was gloomy, and the sun did not come out until 11 o'clock, and the cloudy weather lasted until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, which can be regarded as giving enough face and allowing us to go home happily!

Huanglong Colorful Pool

Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou are both 5A-level attractions, but Huanglong is still inferior to Jiuzhai, Jiuzhai scenic spots are larger, the scenery is richer and more diverse, and the scenery is more beautiful. So, let's start with Jiuzhaigou!

The sea of flowers

Panda Sea

Jiuzhaigou is famous for its unique landscape scenery on the western Sichuan Plateau, with large and small plateau lakes dotted with pure lakes, majestic snow-capped mountains, and blue skies, and a gorgeous and vivid picture as far as the eye can see. In spring and summer, it is surrounded by green trees and is green. In late autumn, the forests are dyed and colorful. After the heavy snow, the silver is wrapped in white, quiet and deep. Jiuzhaigou changes different scenery throughout the year, showing a different kind of beauty.

Colorful Pool

Jiuzhaigou is composed of nine Tibetan villages and three ditches, so it is called Jiuzhaigou. The main attractions are concentrated in the three ditches. The three ditches are Shuzheng Ditch, Rize Ditch and Zecha Wa Ditch, which are distributed in a Y-shape. In order to avoid the flow of people, we started the tour from a vertical tree ditch in the shape of Y, and then visited the left and right ditches respectively.

Water in Jiuzhai

Jiuzhai came back without looking at the water! The water of Jiuzhaigou is the most exquisite picture of nature, and every drop contains endless poetry and dreams. There are hundreds of lakes in Jiuzhaigou, which show different colors with the changes of seasons, weather and light, and the lake is rippling and layered, as crystal clear as jade, and every encounter is a new surprise. The quiet and deep sea of rhinos, lying calmly between the mountains, seems to wash away the troubles of the world, which makes people feel refreshed. The crystal clear sea of five flowers reflects the lake and mountains, like paint on a palette, showing the beauty of nature to the fullest. The colorful pond is like a bright blue gem, and the water in the pool is crystal clear, as if you can see through the long river of time at a glance and feel the purity and mystery of nature. The trees are integrated with the surrounding colorful forests, colorful and wonderful. The vast and vast sea sparkles in the sun, and the years are quiet and .......

The water in Jiuzhaigou is so beautiful, so beautiful that it is indescribable, and any gorgeous words seem so pale and superfluous in front of her. Without further ado, let's go straight to the picture.

The waterfall of Jiuzhai

The waterfall of Jiuzhaigou jumps and frolics in the valley like elves, adding endless vitality and vitality to this magical land.Some waterfalls are like the Milky Way pouring down, majestic and breathtaking. Some streams gurgled gently, gently bypassing the rocks, making a pleasant sound, like the sound of nature.

Jiuzhai's food, accommodation and transportation

It took a whole day to visit Jiuzhaigou this time, entering the park at half past 8 in the morning and leaving the park at 5:15 in the afternoon, a full 9 hours, but it was still unfinished. The Jiuzhai Scenic Area is very large, with many attractions and is relatively scattered. So the day is still very tight, it is recommended to live in the ditch and spend two days playing slowly.

It's a little regrettable that the weather was a little gloomy this morning, and it didn't clear up until 11 o'clock, and some attractions were not as beautiful as the mountains and rivers in the pictures on the Internet, but there was also a melancholic beauty in Jiuzhai on a cloudy day! In addition, because of time constraints, the sea of reeds in Shuzhenggou did not go, and the blue ribbons scattered in the reeds could only be saved for next time.

Sea of Reeds

This time I stayed at the Qianhe Licheng Hotel outside the ditch, in order to meet Cuihua's small requirements for the hotel, I specially booked a parent-child suite, Cuihua also has a separate room, but the timid Cuihua is actually a little afraid of sleeping alone!

The management of Jiuzhaigou is not bad, the number of people entering the park that day is 25,000, and the scenic spot is in order, except for the colorful pond, it is not particularly crowded. The sightseeing buses in the scenic area are uninterrupted, basically every about 3 minutes, transporting tourists to shuttle between various scenic spots, and each car is also equipped with a docent, and the service is very good. The park is also clean and tidy, although it is a little tiring to shuttle through various attractions non-stop, but the overall experience is very good!

Huanglong

, let's talk about Huanglong. Huanglong is located in Songpan County, about 100 kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou, is a well-protected plateau wetland in our country, and the Huanglong Scenic Area is full of carbonate travertine deposits, arranged in terraces, enjoying the reputation of "World Wonder". The color pool group in Huanglonggou is the world's largest and highest open-air travertine pool group, known as the "Yao Pool on Earth".

Colorful Pool

Compared with Jiuzhaigou, the scenery of Huanglong is slightly monotonous, mainly with a large area of calcified pools and stream waterfalls. The color pool is layered like terraced fields, and the pool water is green and clear, like a mirror reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, like a color palette left by heaven in the world.

Before coming, I made a strategy, chose to hike up, and then take the cable car down the mountain, so that the retrograde way avoided the flow of people, or it took 2 hours to queue up the cable car up the mountain. The whole mountain road is paved with antiseptic wood, except for the last section of the colorful pond, the altitude is a bit high (3500 meters), the drop is a bit big, the whole process is very platform, as long as you walk slower, there is no too obvious altitude sickness.

Sleeping Beauty

The two-day and one-night trip to the Yellow Dragon in Jiuzhai is over, Although I am a little tired, the scenery is indeed beautiful, and it really makes people linger and don't want to leave.The scenery of Jiuzhai Huanglong throughout the year has its own characteristics, and the leaves in autumn are yellow, adding autumn charm to Jiuzhai Huanglong, but I think summer may be the most beautiful season, because the rain in summer is more abundant, and it should be the brightest moment of Jiuzhai Huanglong, which is famous for its water. I heard that after the opening of the Mianjiu Expressway, it only takes 4 hours to drive from Chengdu to Jiuzhai, so I am also thinking in my heart that I will definitely come again in the summer to appreciate the different beauty again.
