Huohuahai to Shuanglonghai [Must-visit places in Jiuzhai Valley National Park]

In Jiuzhaigou National Park, there are several places to see water cascades gushing down the slopes, and one of the places is Huohuahai. To see this, I walked in on the walk board (maybe more than 100 m in length) from Huohuahai bus stop beside the main road to the opposite side of the foothill. The highlight of Huohuahai scenic area was: (1) The spectacular upstream view of the valley from beside the main road (Huohuahai bus stop). (2) Water gushing towards me from the valley, flowing to the under of the walkboard beneath me. (3) View of the colorful lake downstream of Huohuahai from the walkboard. (4) Small water cascades among vegetation right beside the walkboard. The walkboard itself is above the Huohuahai waterfall. I only realise this when I walked further downstream from Huohuahai scenic area, in the Shuanglonghai scenic area, where the said waterfall could be seen from a distance. The lakes in Shuanglonghai scenic area is unique because of the various depth of these lakes, with variety of waterscapes in different colors and shades. The walkway which brought me through the scenic area, were beside the shallows, where interesting lake bottom features could be seen and appreciated. The autumn scenery from the hills around here was seen to boast a variety of autumn foliage colors. The surprise of this scenic area was the beautiful Shuanglonghai waterfall found at the end of the scenic area. This waterfall is unique, with water falling from the irregular fault line, and it felt like a masterpiece design of Nature. I would say that the Shuanglonghai scenic area offered me very diverse waterscape views, which satisfied my sightseeing palette. To get here, it is recommended to get down from the sightseeing bus at Huohuahai bus stop, visit the Huohuahai scenic area, walk back out to the Huohuahai bus stop, then from there walk downstream into Shuanglonghai scenic area. To get out, it is recommended to get on a sightseeing bus downstream at Shuanglonghai bus stop (has toilets), which is beside (a distance from) the Shuanglonghai waterfall. One can also choose to walk further downstream from Shuanglonghai waterfall to the next scenic area (more than 2 km) to continue the sightseeing, and get on to a sightseeing bus from the next bus stop there. #china#travel#naturalwonders#thingstodo There are so many "must-visits", so which one to choose? I recommend to not miss any of them! Make plans to visit the park for more than one day, perhaps 2-3 days. Make plans to return again, during the same season or other seasons. There is so much to explore here, and most importantly, top notch sightseeing can be experienced in Jiuzhaigou.
