Jiuzhaigou National Park(Jiuzhai Valley)

The various lakes are beautiful, the scenic area is vast, and the shuttle bus service is excellent. Although it was the off-season, it was still very crowded, but the shuttle bus scheduling was very efficient, with short waiting times, allowing for ample time to explore.

Absolutely stunning! The scenic area is huge, and the public transportation system is fantastic. You can enter simply by scanning your ID card with your ticket. Buying tickets through Ctrip is incredibly convenient and user-friendly!

Jiuzhaigou is hailed as a "fairyland on earth" and a "fairytale world," its charm primarily stemming from its unique waterscapes and breathtaking scenery that changes with the seasons. "After seeing Jiuzhaigou, no other waterscape will compare." Water is the soul of Jiuzhaigou; its lakes, waterfalls, springs, and streams each possess their own distinct characteristics, creating a series of flowing, picturesque scenes.

It is worth going. It is worthy of being an "old internet celebrity" who has been popular for so many years. The only bad thing is that the ticket is only valid for one day. In fact, you can learn from many scenic spots in Xinjiang and make it valid for 48 hours. After all, the scenic area is too big and one day is really tight. It is best to stay at the entrance of Jiuzhaigou in advance, go early in the morning, and play in it until the park closes. It is really not recommended to depart from Chengdu on the same day. It is a pity to only take a quick look at such a beautiful place. You have to walk a lot to Jiuzhaigou, so you must wear comfortable shoes. The management of the scenic area in Jiuzhaigou is very good. No matter how many people there are, it is managed in an orderly manner, and there will be no long queues. Specific tour routes for your reference: ❤️Sightseeing bus It is recommended to sit on the left side of the main trunk, the left side of the left line, and the right side of the right line, the scenery is better ❤️Rizegou on the right line There are many attractions on the right line. It is recommended to give up the primitive forest and Swan Sea (very far and the scenery is average), get off at Jianzhuhai and start the tour (walk nearly 1 kilometer from the get-off point to the pick-up point), and take a bus to Panda Sea after the tour (don’t walk there, the scenery is average and it’s very tiring, don’t ask me why I know), Panda Sea is far from Wuhua Sea and you must take a bus. Wuhua Sea is the most beautiful attraction, you can tour around the lake and take more photos. Continue to take a bus to Pearl Beach Waterfall, which is the filming location of the ending song of Journey to the West. You must check in, then take a bus back to Nuorilang, and you can also go to Nuorilang Waterfall. ❤️Zhechawagou on the left line There are fewer attractions on the left line. You can check in and take photos on the viewing platform when you arrive at Changhai, and then take a bus to Wucai Pool. Although Wucai Pool is small, it is very blue and beautiful. It is also a must-check in attraction, and it is very photogenic. Other scenic spots on the left line can be ignored, just drive around. ❤️Main trunk Shuzhenggou Shuzhenggou also has many highlights. You must control your time in front and don't delay the visit of Shuzhenggou. The most essential is the hiking tour from Laohuhai to Shuzhengqunhai. The scenery is very beautiful. The journey is only about 900m, which is suitable for lazy people. If you have more time, you can start from Rhinoceroshai. There are fewer people here at 4 or 5 pm, which is good for taking pictures. If you still have time when you arrive at Shuzhengqunhai, you can take a car to visit Huohuahai, and then take a car to Bonsai Beach. Walk back 800 meters to Reed Sea (Reed Sea has no station. If you get off at the previous station, you have to walk 2km). It is very photogenic and completely different from the previous scenery.

As a Sichuanese, I wanted to come here a long time ago, but I always felt that it was very close and I could come anytime, so I delayed it. Finally, in September 2023, I had a spontaneous trip. It was very convenient to drive by car. In order not to rush, I set out from Chengdu and stayed overnight in Songpan. I came to Jiuzhaigou the next day. I entered the valley at around ten o'clock in the morning. One day was not enough. I visited half of the attractions and continued the next day. It is recommended to spend two days. My favorite is Wuhua Lake and Wucai Pool. The other attractions are also stunningly beautiful. They are really the ceiling of domestic attractions. You can eat boxed lunches at the visitor center in the valley, and the price is not expensive. You can also eat at the villagers' homes. Language cannot describe the beauty of Jiuzhaigou. You must be there to know its beauty. It must be listed as a must-see attraction in this lifetime.

Jiuzhaigou 🏞️-Huanglong 🐉 is really beautiful, it can be called a paradise on earth, a natural ecological scenic spot created by nature. The water is like a mirror, and the scenic spots are more beautiful than one another👀, making you feel like you are walking into a colorful world of fairy tales! Jiuzhaigou-Huanglong must be visited in this life!!!

Now there is a direct train to Jiuzhaigou in Chengdu. You can take the train to play without choosing a tour group. First do a good job in the strategy, book a ticket and stay near the Jiuzhaigou scenic spot. The next morning, the scenic spot opened the park and went in to visit. All day, you can finish it. The evening train returns to Chengdu.

Jiuzhaigou, a place favored by nature, has water as its soul, mountains as its backbone, and the changing colors of the four seasons make people linger. As a "returning customer" who has been there twice, I have compiled a list of must-see attractions that are not bad and not verbose, to help you unlock the essence of Jiuzhaigou! 1. Top 5 must-visit attractions: the "ceiling" of the waterscape world 1. Wuhua Lake Recommendation reason: Jiuzhaigou's "face value", the lake water is blue and green, like an overturned palette. Standing on the Tiger Stone and overlooking the panoramic view, you can see the red leaves, snow-capped mountains, and reflections. A casual shot is a blockbuster! Hidden gameplay: Go half a circle around the lake to the entrance of the "Reed Sea", where there are few people and beautiful scenery. The reeds in the morning mist are more suitable for the lake~ 2. Nuorilang Waterfall Recommendation reason: China's widest travertine waterfall, 300 meters wide, magnificent! When the water volume is large in the rainy season, the water mist is diffused, and you can see a rainbow when the sun shines. Little-known fact: This is the filming location of the ending of "Journey to the West". Look for the shadows of Tang Monk and his disciples~ 3. Pearl Beach Waterfall Recommendation: The prototype of the waterfall in the opening of "Journey to the West"! The water falls from the beach layer by layer, like a handful of broken silver, and the sound is like thunder. It is especially cool to go there in summer. Photo Tips: Stand on the side of the waterfall, avoid the water mist in front, and take pictures of the artistic conception of "flying down three thousand feet"~ 4. Changhai & Wucai Pool Recommendation: Changhai is the highest altitude lake in Jiuzhaigou. The lake water in autumn is like sapphire; Wucai Pool is the "essence of Jiuzhaigou". The water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the snow-capped mountains and forests. Hiking route: Walk 20 minutes from Changhai to Wucai Pool. The scenery along the way is breathtaking! 5. Mirror Sea Recommendation: The lake surface is as calm as a mirror, and the reflection is clearer than the real scene. In the early morning mist, you can't tell whether the mountain is in the lake or the lake is in the mountain. Best time: 7:00-8:30, avoid the crowds and enjoy the fairyland alone~
