【Jiuzhaigou Transportation🚗 & Accommodation🏨】
Compared to self-driving, high-speed train + bus is a more economical and efficient mode of transportation, though it requires strict time control.
High-speed train: Chengdu East Station - Zhenjiangguan
Bus tickets from Zhenjiangguan Station to the scenic area can be purchased in advance on the platform, and the journey takes about 3 hours (night road). The bus ride is a bit tiring, but the beautiful scenery makes it all worthwhile!
Hotel: My friend and I stayed at a hotel close to the scenic area, about a 10min walk to the scenic area, with lots of delicious food nearby!
【Exploring Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area🏞️】
Due to the high-speed train schedule, we only had about 5 hours to explore the scenic area. If you have more time, it's definitely worth spending an extra day for a deeper experience in Jiuzhaigou!
Exploration route: Arrow Bamboo Lake - Panda Lake - Five Flower Lake - Pearl Shoal Waterfall - Long Lake - Five-Colored Pond - Sparkling Lake - Shuanglong Lake
Due to the tight schedule, we had to skip some spots, but you can still get a glimpse of them by taking the scenic area bus. It's a pity we couldn't explore Shuzheng Lakes and Reed Lake in depth, but there will be a next time!
Suggestion: Bring glucose drinks or snacks to replenish energy. You'll need to walk a lot in the scenic area, and only the Nuorilang Service Station offers food. If you're short on time, you might not have time for a meal.
【Exploring Chengdu📝】
The most recommended spot is Heming Teahouse, where the 'Bitan Snow' tea is delicious! You can really experience the slow life of Chengdu there, it's super healing! If you want a riverside seat, it's best to go early.
The Panda Base Visitor Center offers free luggage storage, and where there are crowds, there will be pandas🐼. It's recommended to visit in the morning.
Since the main purpose of going to Chengdu was to meet long-unseen friends, I didn't go to many places, just casually eating, drinking, and taking photos was very satisfying!

It's not New Zealand, it's Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan, West China.
Beautiful crying photos were all taken today on 2024.2.13 with a mobile phone
The winter Jiuzhaigou is still so beautiful, it's heart-stirring
The first trip of the New Year, I took the photos of my life here
The ticket is a group purchase, only $85 for one person
The transportation is by high-speed rail to Zhenjiang Pass, directly buy a bus on a certain journey to reach the hotel at the mouth of the ditch
Key Tips
①This year's Spring Festival tourism is crowded all over the country, so don't be too entangled, leave a good mood when you set off, enjoy the journey
②We arrived at the scenic spot at 9 o'clock, indeed a crowd of people, waited for about 15 minutes to start getting on the sightseeing car
③It is recommended to sit on the left side of the sightseeing car, really the scenery all the way is wow
④The winter route sightseeing car does not go directly to Changhai, all have to stop at Shuzheng Village for transfer
⑤After getting off the car at Shuzheng Village, you can first look and take pictures along the plank road, then take the sightseeing car to Arrow Bamboo Sea, and then play in reverse
⑥The winter Panda Sea and Changhai are all frozen, it is not recommended to reserve too much time here, it is recommended to abandon the Changhai line and go directly to Spark Sea and walk slowly
⑦Recommended tour route: Arrow Bamboo Sea-Panda Sea-Five Flower Sea-Pearl Beach Waterfall-Nuorilang Waterfall
⑧Be sure to leave time for the Five Flower Sea, it's really amazing! The lake water of different colors is blue and green, it's so good to take pictures at random
