Jiuzhaigou is located in a high mountain valley area with a large altitude difference. This geographical feature makes the red leaves alternate between high and low altitudes, forming a landscape with distinct layers and patchwork. The viewing period of red leaves in Jiuzhaigou is relatively long, and the ideal viewing time is usually from October to November. Moreover, the red leaves in Jiuzhaigou cover a large area, and the red leaves and colorful forests complement each other, forming a colorful landscape. The red leaves are not a single red, but include purple, pink, orange, golden and other colors, which complement the clear lakes and green mountains and forests of Jiuzhaigou, forming a flowing picture. This rich combination of colors makes the viewing of red leaves in Jiuzhaigou extremely visually impactful. During the viewing process, tourists can feel the changes in the color and density of the red leaves from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and experience a unique visual enjoyment.

Breathtaking Fairyland of China 🇨🇳

#wecreate We've been all around and so far Jiuzhai Valley is one of the best places I have ever visited and seen. The water is serene with majestic mountains that surround the lakes. Whereever you are in China, I suggest that this must be and should be in your list to visit before you leave this country. This place is such a feast in the eyes. So go and experience it yourself. HOW TO GET HERE: 1. Take a long distance bus from Xinnamen Bus Station in Chengdu. It will take you around 8-10 hours travel time and if it is during holiday time then prepare for longer hours on the bus. 2. Take the plane. It will only take you approximately an hour to reach Jiuzhai Huanglong Aiport. Note‼️ 1. If you're weak in dealing with altitude then I suggest you prepare yourself by taking some altitude sickness a week before you explore this fairyland. You have to be in your best health to totally enjoy everything. 2. It is cold there and misty so bring a raincoat and wear comfortable shoes and clothes. #jiuzhaivalley #mytripvlog #tripblazers #nationalpark #explorechina #sichuan

Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, take shelter from the storm! Take shelter!!

Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, take shelter from the storm! Take shelter!!

Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, take shelter from the storm! Take shelter!! Clickbait, random thoughts on Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou, with itinerary and hotel recommendations at the end! Total cost 4000 yuan A child from the plains visiting the plateau for the first time, Jiuzhaigou is really too beautiful~ Any random shot can be used as wallpaper, any filter would be disrespectful to it! Must go again once the high-speed rail is connected From Wuxi to Chengdu Tianfu, actually Tianfu Airport is not as demonized as said online, took the subway Line 18 at 5 pm, arrived at the hotel near Hongxingqiao Subway Station at 6 pm! Great location🉑, right out of the subway station, recommended for budget travelers! Chengdu citywalk is very convenient by subway~ Sanxingdui Museum: Take the high-speed train to Guanghan Station, a 15-minute taxi ride for 20 yuan (seems to be a fixed price) takes about 3 hours to tour, remember to buy tickets in advance for holidays!!!!!! Chengdu Giant Panda Base: Wanted to see the pandas, two hours was too rushed, just followed the crowd to see other pandas, caught a little one sleeping on the job Jiuzhaigou: Took the 10:30 am high-speed train to Zhenjiang Pass, booked a direct bus on Ctrip, arrived at Jiuzhaigou around 4 pm, took a taxi to the hotel (be sure to ask the price in advance, starting price of 15 for 1 kilometer), the hotel is located at the mouth of the valley, within walking distance, there's a McDonald's, Book also, the popular Tomato Yak Pot restaurant is nearby within walking distance, many people recommended it, no queue if you arrive early, but it's not particularly delicious (compared to the restaurant on the second day it's considered good) The next morning, went straight into the scenic area, there are buses inside, followed the route to visit, there are stops to take the bus, walked about 13 kilometers in total, must wear comfortable shoes!! The scenic area has everything it should have (here I want to complain about the Kudi, one cup sold for 35, I have never seen such expensive Kudi, I understand it's expensive in the scenic area~ but this is a bit too much, the neighboring Xuewang is only 1 yuan more expensive hahaha, long live Xuewang! Luckin Coffee is under renovation inside the scenic area, waiting for it to open and outcompete Kudi) For dinner, Himalayan Music Tibetan Restaurant, really avoid this place! Ordered stir-fried wild vegetables, got a pot of stir-fried lettuce leaves... counts as wild vegetables??? On the third day, the return trip was still a direct bus from Ctrip, high-speed train from Zhenjiang Pass to Chengdu East, direct high-speed train from Chengdu East to Tianfu Airport, Chengdu East Station has transfer instructions, follow them for 5 minutes to the next train's ticket gate, Tianfu Airport exit is a 5-minute walk, directly to self-service check-in and baggage drop, go upstairs for security check, very fast! The whole process can be done in 20 minutes!

4D3N Itinerary from Hangzhou!|||Personal Travel Sharing - Easy and Fulfilling! Day 1: ✈️ Fly to Chengdu (Choose Shuangliu Airport, which is closer to the city center) 🏠 Stay near Chunxi Road for convenience (I booked a hotel last minute, not recommended) Itinerary: Chunxi Road - IFS Panda Wall - Taikoo Li - Daci Temple 🍲 Hotpot recommendation: [Houtang Hotpot] Locals also go there, large portions and delicious! (I arrived around noon, adjust according to your arrival time) Day 2: 🌞 Morning: Sleep in and visit Wenshu Monastery, take a photo with "Happiness" (there are photographers on site, you can take Polaroid photos) 🌇 Afternoon: Visit the Giant Panda Base, it's large, wear comfortable shoes (buy tickets in advance!) Bring your ID card 🆔 🌛 Evening: Chengdu East ➡️ Huanglong Jiuzhai [Make sure to book tickets several days in advance, also book return tickets!] (After arriving, I don't recommend taking the bus, the mountain road is dizzying and takes two hours, I recommend carpooling. You can book in advance on your phone or carpool on site. Don't worry, there are many taxi drivers at the station entrance offering carpooling, usually around 60) The hotel I stayed at was nice, good environment, free shuttle bus to Jiuzhaigou entrance in the morning, and shuttle bus back in the afternoon Day 3: Jiuzhaigou (check the weather forecast) Buy tickets in advance on "Aba Tourism Official Account" Bring your ID card to enter the park (Zhejiang residents, most cities can get free tickets, just buy the 80/person shuttle bus ticket, save half the cost!) Travel tips: 🌞 Morning: Arrow Bamboo Lake - Panda Lake - Five Flower Lake - Nuorilang Center Station (there are many food options, you can replenish your energy, a bit expensive) 🌄 Afternoon: Long Lake (highest point) - Colorful Pool - Rhinoceros Lake - Tiger Lake - (Shuzheng Lakes) - (Wolong Lake) - Sparkling Lake - Exit After exiting, carpool to Huanglong Jiuzhai Station/Songpan Station (either is fine: go to whichever you can get tickets for) Usually around 80/person, tell the driver your hotel location, they will take you back to get your luggage, if you're in a hurry for the train, I suggest bringing your luggage in the morning, there are storage lockers at the entrance 🌛 Evening: Huanglong Jiuzhai/Songpan ➡️ Sanxingdui Station Take a taxi to the hotel, the hotel I stayed at was great! Highly recommended! Only 150 for a double bed, very large and upscale! Day 4: 🌞 Morning: Sanxingdui (book tickets in advance) Enter before 12:00 for the morning session There is a QR code for audio guide at the entrance, 20/person, bring headphones 🍚 Noon: Recommended to go to the riverside "Xiangwei Xuan", a local recommended hotpot restaurant (there is a queue during meal times) [You can do it the other way around, buy afternoon session tickets, sleep in and eat first, then visit slowly, there are many taxi drivers at the entrance offering carpooling, if your flight is late, you can carpool to Chunxi Road for a stroll before going to the airport, or pay a bit more to carpool directly to the airport] Last stop: Home❕ ✈️ I still recommend Shuangliu Airport, I suggest carpooling for faster travel (you can book on your phone), public transportation requires transfers and is tiring.

One-Day Trip to Jiuzhaigou Valley

One-Day Trip to Jiuzhaigou Valley

📍Attraction Address: Jiuzhaigou Valley 🏝️Reservation Guide: Book scenic spot tickets + internal transportation in advance on Trip.com. Off-season price: CNY 180/person. 🚗Transportation Guide: Train + scenic spot direct bus 💗Other tips: We went to Jiuzhaigou Valley one day in advance, taking the 3:45 pm train, which was expected to arrive at Huanglong Jiuzhaigou Station in less than 2 hours. The scenic spot direct bus can be booked on the Yuanshan Travel WeChat official account. The departure time of the direct bus is based on the train's arrival time. If the selected train is delayed, the direct bus will also be delayed, so don't worry about missing it. Accommodation: I checked on Trip.com in advance and chose the Millennium Resort Jiuzhaigou from many options. The off-season price is CNY 355 per night, including breakfast, and they also upgraded our room type. It's close to the scenic spot. I recommend taking a ride-hailing service directly, as taxis are expensive. Touring Methods: The scenic spot can be divided into three routes: left, middle, and right. The scenery on each route is different. The left route's Changhai is more beautiful in autumn. In winter, it's frozen with snow, and the scenery is not particularly outstanding. The Five Flower Lake has nice scenery. Every scenic spot on the right route is great, including Arrow Bamboo Lake, Mirror Lake, and Panda Lake. They are very beautiful on sunny days. On the middle route, if you want to see Reed Lake, you need to walk 2.7 km to the next scenic spot's boarding point. Sparkling Lake and Tiger Lake are also very beautiful. It is recommended to finish browsing between 1 pm and 4 pm.

"After visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won't want to see any other water." This is so true. The emerald green of Arrow Bamboo Lake, the sapphire blue of Rhinoceros Lake, the dazzling colors of Five Flower Lake, the calmness of Mirror Lake, the lively Arrow Bamboo Lake Waterfall, and the majestic Nuorilang Waterfall: they all shocked me and also cured my anxiety for mountains and rivers. Plus, the park's dispatching is top-notch. We entered the park in less than 20 minutes with 40,000 people, and we didn't wait for more than 3 minutes at each attraction in the park. Big thumbs up! I will visit Jiuzhaigou again if I have the chance.

Jiuzhaigou— the ultimate dreamland of China ✨

Jiuzhaigou— the ultimate dreamland of China ✨

It’s a fairytale setting. The tranquil nature, the crystal clear turquoise and emerald color lakes, waterfalls and the lush greenery make it an ultimate dreamland landscape.🪽🦄🪽 Perhaps it’s the most beautiful place in China. It’s full of nature, each corner of this valley is a scenic spot. 🤩💕📸 There are 108 lakes in Jiuzhaigou. The beautiful colors of these lakes are due to ferns that grow in the water. It’s an UNESCO site due to its diverse forrest ecosystem, its superb landscape and spectacular waterfalls. Around 140 bird species also inhabit the valley, as well as a number of endangered plant and animals, including the giant panda.🐼 I spent 3 days there. For an in depth exploration it requires one week or so. Getting There - either by bus/car or flight from Chengdu. I took the flight as it’s time efficient. Attractions - Jiuzhaigou national park Hotels - there are many options. I stayed in Hilton garden due to its location. Food & Restaurants - try Tibetan hotpot in the Indigo hotel restaurant Shopping - Not many options. Some small local shops are there.
