Who hasn't experienced Jiuzhai Valley in the snow?

Before setting off, I read online that roads in western Sichuan can easily freeze in winter, so I was a little worried. We prepared snow chains, but the road conditions were good and smooth. There were just a lot of trucks, so be careful! If you're driving from Chengdu, you won't be able to visit Jiuzhai Valley in one day. I recommend stopping along the way to make the journey less tiring. Jiuzhai Valley is Y-shaped, with three valleys: Rize Valley, Zechawa Valley, and Shuzheng Valley. The sightseeing buses in the scenic area are like regular buses. You can get on and off at each stop, and most attractions can be accessed from the same stop. ✅ Itinerary: 🌳 Morning: Take a bus from the entrance to the Primeval Forest, then visit Grass Lake, Swan Lake, Arrow Bamboo Lake, Panda Lake, Five Flower Lake, and Mirror Lake. 🌳 Noon: Have lunch and rest at Nuorilang Center. 🌳 Afternoon: Depart from Nuorilang Center to Long Lake and Five-Color Pond, then to Rhinoceros Lake, Shuzheng Waterfall, Shuzheng Lakes, Sparkling Lake, and Bonsai Shoal. ✔️ Must-see lakes: 📍 Five Flower Lake: This is a great photo spot. Around noon or 1 pm, the sunlight and yellow leaves are beautiful. 🍂 📍 Long Lake: The source of all the small lakes, with stunning scenery and the bluest water. 📍 Five-Color Pond: The blue is refreshing and bright. 📍 Panda Lake: A milky blue-green, as if milk has been added. 📍 Rhinoceros Lake, Tiger Lake, and Sparkling Lake: The scenery here is similar, but still clear and blue. You can take photos with snow-capped mountains in the background. From a high vantage point, you can capture the beautiful blend of red leaves and blue lakes. 📍 Pearl Shoal Waterfall: Filming location for the original "Journey to the West." ⚠️⚠️ Be sure to enter the scenic area early. Jiuzhai Valley is huge, and you might not have enough time to see everything.
