Originally thought Jiuzhaigou was beautiful, until I went to Wenxian Tianchi

Tickets: 30 for the ticket + 30 for the round-trip sightseeing bus. Self-driving is not allowed to go up, even if you live on the top of the mountain, you have to change to the sightseeing bus at the gate. Weather: Sunny (25-33 degrees) Altitude: About 1700 meters Play time: 16:35-19:30 Play route: Walked the entire 11km around the lake (not recommended to walk too fast, half of my legs were wasted). Dry goods: Sightseeing bus: There are few sightseeing bus trips in the scenic area, basically one every half hour. Don't throw away the sightseeing bus ticket you get at the ticket window, the "complaint phone number" on it is the vehicle dispatch phone number. If you don't see the bus at the stop or get off, just call the dispatch to ask when the next bus will arrive. The sightseeing bus is 8 kilometers one way, 15 minutes one way, and the altitude rises 500 meters. The fare is worth it. Touring/Hiking: Stroller and pet friendly (facing the lake, go left, return the same way after reaching the pier). Drones can be flown. You can also do light hiking (around the lake). (Facing the lake) The right side is more for climbing, the left side is more for flat roads. It is recommended for those who are not physically fit and want to relax to go to the left, and return the same way after reaching the pier. The right side requires climbing two mountains, going around the mountain and then climbing down. Remember to apply mosquito repellent and sunscreen. Tianchi does not prohibit swimming, and there are some swings on the shore for taking pictures. Children can go to the shore to catch fish and shrimp. It is a good place for leisure. Overall, it is a big lake~ The lake and mountain scenery are very beautiful. But expecting a view at every step is not very realistic, it is suitable for relaxation. Transportation: About 2 hours drive from Wudu one way. The national and provincial roads are slightly complicated, there are many surrounding villages, but the road conditions are good, no washboard roads and very steep uphill and downhill roads.
