Just got back from Jiuzhaigou, and I've already finished exploring it
Before going to Jiuzhaigou, I thought it was similar to other places in Western Sichuan. After arriving, my legs were about to give out from all the walking. Moreover, it's currently peak season, so it's crowded everywhere, and you have to queue for everything. The scenery is beyond words, but you must plan your trip well, or you'll easily miss the highlights and take unnecessary detours.

✨About Jiuzhaigou
Jiuzhaigou has 3 valleys, forming a Y-shape, with the meeting point at Nuorilang Center. The right branch of the Y is Rize Valley, the left is Zechawa Valley, and the entrance is Shuzheng Valley.
🍀Essential Photo Spots
❶Five-Color Pond
It's one of my favorite spots in Jiuzhaigou. Although it's a smaller pond, during the high water period, it looks like a sapphire set in the mountains, sparkling in the sunlight.
❷Five-Flower Lake
The lake is crystal clear, and under the sunlight, it displays five different colors, dreamlike and fantastic.
❸Changhai
Surrounded by mountains, Changhai is located in the middle of them. The water is particularly blue, and on a sunny day, you can see the reflection of the mountains.
❹Pearl Shoal Waterfall
A waterfall under the snow-capped mountains, the scene is spectacular, with water flowing down from hundreds of meters of cliffs, like a painting.
❣️Travel tips
▼During peak season, I really recommend everyone to add 210 yuan for the VIP shuttle bus. Taking the regular sightseeing bus not only requires queuing but also planning for each spot, which is a waste of time.
▼The VIP bus has a dedicated tour guide, and during peak season, they arrange off-peak visits to attractions, so there's no need to squeeze in with others. After finishing one spot, you get on the bus and go, and you can leave your luggage on the bus. It's especially recommended for those with children and the elderly!
▼Nuorilang Restaurant has dining options, which might be a bit pricey, so you can bring some snacks. Physical exertion is significant while playing in the scenic area.
▼For accommodation, staying near the entrance of the valley is convenient for food, lodging, and transportation, with many options available.
▼Five-Flower Lake is beautiful, so be sure to go early. Around 10 am, it starts to get super crowded.
▼The temperature difference between morning and evening is significant, so remember to bring a jacket.
厕所太少,现有的厕所间距太远,且女厕排队等候时间太长,其间我排队入厕所等了20分钟多,膀胱都憋坏了!其余的都很好,景区环境优美管理工作做得很好!您们辛苦了
Very worth going place. Very mature scenic spot, supporting services are very good. The sightseeing car is very convenient, and each car is equipped with a commentator. Although the scenic spot is large, there are many guidelines. Normal play is more than 20,000 steps a day, I walked more, walked more than 30,000 steps.
Tickets for the scenic spot are 190 yuan + sightseeing bus 90 yuan, the scenic road is 49 kilometers, the plank road is 82 kilometers, and ordinary people use the way of car and walking, and the whole scenic spot is Y-shaped. From the gate of the scenic spot, take a sightseeing bus to the Nuorilang Visitor Center. From the dispatch arrangement to the direction of Changhai or the virgin forest, it is generally used to take the bus to the farthest (highest) attractions downstream. The gate of the scenic spot to the left seat of the Nuorilang Center can see the scenery in the car, and the right seat in the direction of the virgin forest.
As a Sichuanese, I wanted to come very early, but I always felt that I could come at any time and delay it. Finally, in September 2023, I came to a trip that said to go. It was very convenient to drive by car. In order not to hurry from Chengdu to stay at Songpan, I came to Jiuzhaigou the next day. I entered the ditch at about ten o'clock in the morning. I didn't have enough time for one day. I visited half of the attractions and continued the next day. It is recommended to use two days. My favorite is the sea of flowers and colorful pools. Other attractions are also amazing. It is really the ceiling of domestic attractions. The visitor center in the ditch can eat box lunch, the price is not expensive, and the villagers can also eat. The language cannot describe the beauty of Jiuzhaigou. You must be in the scene to know his beauty. You must list the attractions that you must go to for this life.
It is worth playing, the natural scenery is beautiful, people will stay and forget.
This group is really good, including the itinerary hotel accommodation, this bus is really good and comfortable, there is also a USB charging interface, do not be afraid of the phone is out of power, can give us enough rest without delaying the trip to the maximum extent, Jiuzhaigou is really beautiful, Each season has a different beauty, and this group will be set next autumn. It is really worth visiting. Our Xiaoyan tour guide is also very good. The explanation service is very good. The master car skills are good. The arranged itinerary is also very good. Overall, I am very satisfied this time.
