Jiuzhaigou Travel Guide | Essential Attractions Recommendations, Just Read This and You're Set

🎫Tickets: Available for purchase online, the price is 280, which includes a 90 yuan sightseeing bus fee 🏞Attractions: The Jiuzhaigou scenic area is very large, distributed in a Y-shape, with three diverging valleys being Rize Valley, Zechawa Valley, and Shuzheng Valley. To fully explore the entire scenic area, including taking photos, it should take about 10 hours. (The route map is on the last page) Upon entering the park, take the sightseeing bus directly. The bus will distribute visitors evenly according to the day's visitor flow, randomly taking tourists to the uppermost parts of Rize Valley, Shuzheng Valley, and Zechawa Valley. The central transfer point of the entire scenic area is the Nuorilang Transfer Station, located at the very center of the three valleys. At this transfer point, you can switch buses to reach any of the valleys. On the day of our visit, we first reached the Primeval Forest Station at the top of Rize Valley, then played our way down to the Nuorilang Transfer Station, went to the highest point of Zechawa Valley on the left - Long Lake, then to the Five-Color Pond, and back to Nuorilang. Finally, we played our way down Shuzheng Valley and exited the scenic area. 💙Essential Attractions Recommendations: The scenic area is too large, and some of the lakes look similar to each other. Personally, I don't think it's necessary to visit every single attraction. Here are the spots I think are worth seeing. 🌟Rize Valley: Arrow Bamboo Lake➕Panda Lake➕Five Flower Lake. We went to the Primeval Forest and felt it was not very distinctive, so we continued downwards. The most recommended is to walk from Arrow Bamboo Lake to Panda Lake, make sure to walk on the inside plank road, accompanied by the clear stream all the way, it's too comfortable! Panda Lake is really blue and serene! It's great for taking photos📷. Five Flower Lake indeed looks like it has several different shades of blue and green, different from the other purely blue lakes. 🌟Zechawa Valley: Long Lake➕Five-Color Pond Long Lake is the highest in altitude, and it's cooler on the mountain, giving a feeling of the ocean. The Five-Color Pond is the most dreamy blue, clear and transparent, it doesn't seem like it really exists. Shuzheng Valley: By the time we came down, it was already a bit late, so we just glanced at it from the sightseeing bus. It's recommended to sit on the driver's side when going up the mountain, and on the other side (the right-hand side) when coming down. This way, you can enjoy the scenery along the way twice from the bus, both when going up and coming down. 🎒Equipment to Carry: ID card, sunglasses, sun umbrella, sunscreen spray, photography equipment, and lunch food Wearing sunglasses makes it easy to take good photos, no need to manage expressions. Also, it's too hot in the scenic area, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun. It's said that the mountain weather is changeable, and it might rain, but I didn't encounter it The food in the scenic area is 15 yuan for a bowl of instant noodles, 30 yuan for a self-heating pot, 5 yuan for a bottle of mineral water, and 10 yuan for a grilled sausage. You can decide whether to bring your own food or buy a simple meal in the scenic area
