✨Jiuzhai Valley in March and April is truly stunning! Half blooming peach blossoms, half unmelted snow, I highly recommend you come and visit! ✨1. Trip Preparation 1. Clothing: The temperature difference between day and night in Jiuzhai Valley in March-April is quite large. Remember to bring warm clothes such as thick coats and jackets. The temperature is comfortable during sunny days, so you can also bring light jackets or hoodies. Choose non-slip and comfortable sports shoes for long walks. 2. Skincare & Sun Protection: The plateau area has strong ultraviolet rays, so sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, lip balm, and hand cream are essential to avoid sunburn and dry skin. 3. Other Items: A thermos, rain gear (umbrella or raincoat), a power bank, and some snacks to replenish energy. Jiuzhai Valley is at an altitude of over 2,000 meters. Altitude sickness is generally not a problem, and each station has free oxygen available. If you are still worried, you can prepare anti-altitude sickness medication in advance. 🚗2. Transportation Guide 1. High-speed Rail: From Chengdu East, it takes about 1.5 hours to Huanglong Jiuzhai Station. Then, you can purchase a direct shuttle bus ticket to the scenic area in advance on the [Jiuyue Travel] mini-program for 51 yuan/person. The bus ride takes about 3 hours and will take you directly to Jiuzhai Valley.🚅 2. Airplane: Fly directly to Huanglong Airport, which is about 2 hours' drive from the entrance of Jiuzhai Valley. However, the airport is at a high altitude, and altitude sickness can occur, so take precautions. 3. Self-driving: Chengdu to Jiuzhai Valley is about 400 kilometers, and it takes about 8 hours to drive. There are many winding roads along the way, which is a test of driving skills. Be careful when driving. ✨3. Scenic Spot Tickets You can search for "Aba Tourism Network" on WeChat, enter your ID card to book tickets. The combined ticket + sightseeing bus ticket is 280 yuan. After purchasing, you can directly swipe your ID card to enter the park. Tickets are not sold on-site, so do not trust strangers at the entrance who say they can get you discounted tickets. Beware of scams! ✨4. Tour Route Jiuzhai Valley National Park is distributed in a Y shape, with Norilang Center Station as the midpoint of the Y. It is mainly divided into Shuzheng Valley, Zechawa Valley, and Rize Valley. 1. Morning: ◦ Take the sightseeing bus from the entrance of the scenic area. The first stop is the primeval forest in Rize Valley (although the scenery is average, you can check in first). ◦ Then visit Fangcao Lake, Swan Lake (these two lakes can be skipped if time is tight), Arrow Bamboo Lake, Panda Lake/Waterfall, and Five Flower Lake (the essence of Jiuzhai Valley, be sure to stay longer and take photos. After 10 am, the sunlight directly hits the lake surface, and the colors are the most vivid). ◦ Finally, arrive at Pearl Shoal/Waterfall (the filming location of *Journey to the West*, very picturesque), and then go to Norilang Center Station for lunch and rest. 2. Afternoon: ◦ Starting from Norilang Center Station, go to Zechawa Valley first, and visit Long Lake (the largest lake in Jiuzhai Valley, although parts of the lake may still be frozen in March-April, it is still very beautiful), and Five Color Pool (the smallest but most colorful lake in Jiuzhai Valley, a must-see!). ◦ Then return to Norilang Waterfall (one of the widest waterfalls in China, very spectacular). ◦ Afterwards, go down Shuzheng Valley and visit Rhinoceros Lake (you can take beautiful pictures of peach blossoms, snow-capped mountains, and the lake in the same frame), Tiger Lake, Shuzheng Waterfall/Shuzheng Lakes (the lakes here are layered and very beautiful), Sleeping Dragon Lake/Sparkling Lake, Bonsai Shoal, and finally exit the valley. 🌸5. Peach Blossom Photo Spots 1. Rhinoceros Lake: Distant snow-capped mountains + sparkling lake surface + brilliant peach blossoms, the three scenes combined make for super beautiful photos. 2. Reed Lake: Walking is recommended so you can slowly appreciate the peach blossoms along the way. Every shot is a spring blockbuster. 3. The intersection of Shuzheng Waterfall and Shuzheng Lakes: You can take beautiful photos of peach blossoms and the lake in the same frame. Standing on the boardwalk, with the peach blossoms and the lake as the background, the atmosphere is perfect. ⚠️6. Precautions 1. Drones are prohibited in the scenic area, and smoking is only allowed in designated smoking areas, otherwise you will be fined. 2. Jiuzhai Valley is very large, and one day is quite tight. If you want to explore in depth, it is recommended to arrange a two-day trip. 3. There are restaurants in the scenic area, but the prices are high. If you are not used to the food, you can bring some snacks, but don't bring too much, otherwise it will be tiring to carry. 4. The specific flowering period is greatly affected by the weather. It is best to check the latest weather forecast before departure to avoid missing the beautiful scenery of the peach blossoms in full bloom.

✅Pre-trip Preparations 1️⃣Tickets: Jiuzhaigou uses a real-name ticketing system. There are no on-site ticket windows, so you must book in advance on official platforms such as the Aba Tourism Network. Ticket prices vary between the low season (generally Nov 16 - Mar 31⏰ of the following year) and the high season. Check the official website for details. 2️⃣Transportation: Driving is not recommended. Some sections have many curves, narrow roads, and speed limits. During the rainy season🌧️, there may also be mudslides. To avoid long bus rides, which can be tiring and time-consuming, take the high-speed train🚄 from Chengdu East Station to Huanglong Jiuzhai Station, then transfer to a shuttle bus. 3️⃣What to bring: Pack comfortable, non-slip shoes👟 as there's a lot of walking in the valley. Bring warm clothing, such as down jackets and windbreakers, as the temperature difference between day and night on the plateau is significant. Sunscreen (sunscreen🧴, sunglasses🕶️, sun hat👒) and rain gear are also essential. ✅Visiting the Valley 1️⃣Entry time: The valley is generally open from 7:30 am - 2:00 pm⏰. Make sure to enter before 2:00 pm. Plan your trip in advance to avoid disappointment. 2️⃣Route planning: The valley is "Y" shaped. It is recommended to take the sightseeing bus to the Primeval Forest at the top of Rize Valley, then visit the Five Flower Lake, Pearl Shoal Waterfall, and other attractions. Next, head to the Long Lake and Five Color Pond in Zechawa Valley. Finally, visit Shuzheng Valley, including attractions such as Shuzheng Lakes and Rhinoceros Lake. 3️⃣Sightseeing bus: The valley is large, and the attractions are far apart. The main mode of transportation is the sightseeing bus. Buses are frequent, so don't worry about not getting a seat. Get on and off at designated stops; do not flag down the bus. 4️⃣Altitude sickness: The overall altitude is not extremely high, but some areas are above 3,000 meters.

You can prepare anti-altitude sickness medication💊 and oxygen tanks in advance. ✅Accommodation and Dining 1️⃣Accommodation: Avoid staying in the county town, as it is far from the valley (over an hour's drive). It is recommended to stay at the entrance of Jiuzhaigou Valley. The core scenic spots are within walking🚶 distance, making it convenient for sightseeing. 2️⃣Dining: There are restaurants and snack streets at the Nuorilang Service Center in the valley, but prices are high. You can bring your own light snacks and water, but do not eat in restricted areas. Keep the environment clean🚮. When dining outside the valley, choose reputable restaurants and pay attention to the price and quality of the dishes to avoid being overcharged. ✅Other Tips 1️⃣Respect local customs: The local population is mainly Tibetan and Qiang.

Do not touch other people's heads. Do not step on the threshold when entering a Tibetan tent. 2️⃣Shopping: When buying souvenirs and local products, do not believe exaggerated claims by vendors. Avoid buying overpriced, low-quality, or counterfeit goods. Choose reputable merchants and ask for receipts. 3️⃣Valley regulations: Smoking🚭 and using drones for aerial photography are prohibited.

Visiting the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area in Sichuan, besides enjoying the natural beauty, the unique culture of local ethnic minorities such as the Tibetan and Qiang is also a major highlight! Group tours usually include a visit to the 'Jiuzhai Tibetan and Qiang Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum.' This museum, located in Langzhai Village of Jiuzhaigou and established in 2022, houses many fascinating items! The entire scenic area is divided into three parts: the museum exhibition hall, the intangible cultural heritage studio, and the cultural and creative store. The museum features exhibits such as Tibetan and Qiang weaving, sheepskin drum dance, Tibetan medicine, scroll thangka, and Tibetan incense. The woven clothing is particularly eye-catching, with vibrant colors that look stunning on Tibetan and Qiang girls, making them stand out beautifully. For those of us who are not familiar with this culture, visiting the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum is quite an eye-opener. It is recommended to purchase a ticket with a guided tour for 99 RMB to gain a deeper understanding of the exhibits, rather than just skimming through them and forgetting everything afterward.

Today the weather was particularly good, but it was really cold outside, the sea and the snow-covered forest, the scenery was absolutely beautiful!! · 🏠Accommodation: The small group arranged for us to stay in a homestay in the scenic area, 29° inside and -9° outside. It was warm all night, and we didn't have to get up early to queue every day. Staying in the valley avoids the peak period of people, and it's not too late to sleep in and then set off. Friends who want to come recently can follow me, and I will share real-time updates. · ❄Recent weather can be saved: Dec 25 ☁ -9~0° Dec 26 ☁ -8~2° Dec 27 🌞 -8~-1° Dec 28 🌞 -10~-4° 👚Outfit: Thick down jacket + sweater + fleece pants (very cold hands! Bring gloves, lip balm is a must, otherwise your lips will be dry and peeling) · !!Travel experience: ❄If you want to see the beautiful snow scene, go directly to the left line in the morning, you can't go wrong~ ❄Smoking is only allowed at Nuorilang Center in the scenic area ❄Remember to wear light-colored clothes, the large area will be directly pinched! ❄If you want to see the snow scene all the way, chartered car or small group travel is the best choice. Along the way, Siguniang Mountain, Bipenggou, Dagu Glacier, each is a treasure place, with a variety of ways to play and the snow scene is amazing. . 🚩Route sharing Day 1: Chengdu—Huanglong—Jiuzhaigou [Goukou or Gounei optional] Day 2: Jiuzhaigou one-day tour Day 3: Jiuzhaigou—Chuanzhusi—Songzhou Ancient City—Gonggangling—Chengdu

Some experiences may only come once in a lifetime, so when considering accommodation in Jiuzhaigou, although I hesitated for a while, I finally chose this hotel hidden in the valley. Hidden in the Zhongchagou Valley of Jiuzhaigou County, The Ritz-Carlton, Risai Valley, as the sixth Ritz-Carlton hidden gem hotel in the world, attracts travelers with its unique natural scenery and Tibetan cultural atmosphere. The price per night makes this experience more like a luxurious attempt. Whether it is really worth the money is left for each person to think about. 🎉Hotel Highlights 🎉 1. Environment and Design🏔️✨ The hotel is located high in the valley, surrounded by magnificent mountains. Whether it is the lobby or the room balcony, the view is amazing natural scenery. Especially the stars at night are impressive. The lobby design incorporates Tibetan palace style and mortise and tenon wooden structure, which is distinctive. The villas are scattered on the hillside, with high privacy, and the maple tree trails along the way also add a bit of romance🍂. 2. Room experience 🛏️🛁 The room design continues the Tibetan style, with high privacy and comfort. The minibar is free and the bathroom is equipped with a walk-in bathtub where you can enjoy the valley view while taking a bath🌄. The floor-to-ceiling windows and private balcony in the bedroom allow people to fully integrate into nature. However, the stay experience was compromised by the details. Fingerprints on the windows, towels not dry enough, towels have a slight odor that doesn't seem disinfected (maybe it's related to the climate). Although the butler's service was enthusiastic, the arrangements seemed chaotic. For example, they repeatedly asked about our willingness to book activities, did not arrange shuttle buses for pick-up according to the scheduled itinerary, and missed items in the room. As soon as we checked in, the housekeeping staff came to provide turndown service, which might have been done half an hour later when we went out for dinner (which we had booked), which affected the overall experience. 3. Activities and cultural experience🎨🧘♀️🌌 The hotel has arranged some cultural and health activities, such as DIY everlasting flower fan making, Tibetan village tour, morning meditation and yoga, etc. The content is relaxing and cultural. The stargazing activity on the terrace at night is a rare highlight. While admiring the starry sky through the astronomical telescope, you can feel the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Pros❤️ - Excellent views🏞️: The mountains during the day and the stars at night form an unparalleled visual feast. - High privacy: Single-family villa design, suitable for travelers who want to get away from the hustle and bustle. - Strong Tibetan cultural atmosphere🎭: Architecture and activities are integrated into local culture, allowing travelers to experience something completely different from city life. Disadvantages 🥹 - Service details need to be improved 🤔: The housekeeper arrangement is chaotic and fails to reflect the professional level that a super five-star hotel should have. - Inadequate cleaning and maintenance: Problems such as damp towels and fingerprints on windows affect the stay experience. - Not cost-effective💸: The activities are limited, and the facilities and services do not fully match the high prices. The Ritz-Carlton, Risai Valley has a superior natural environment and a strong Tibetan cultural atmosphere. If you're craving a luxurious experience, this is indeed a unique stay that's perfect for a once-in-a-lifetime special experience.
