This altitude variation not only gives Jiuzhaigou a rich natural landscape but also allows visitors to experience different climates and ecological environments during their visit. Since the altitude of Jiuzhaigou is not particularly high, with the highest point only around 3200 meters, most people walking in the scenic area will not exceed this altitude. Therefore, tourists visiting Jiuzhaigou do not need to worry about altitude sickness, as it is unlikely to occur.

🎈August Jiuzhaigou trip This trip to Jiuzhaigou is a double feast for the eyes and the soul. Jiuzhaigou in August is in the middle of summer, but it is pleasantly cool due to the high altitude. The rippling Wuhua Lake and Changhai Lake are like emeralds inlaid in the valley. The water is crystal clear and colorful, showing breathtaking fantasy colors as the sunlight and angle change. Walking along the lakeside, every breath is fresh air, which seems to wash away the dust of the city and allow the soul to be completely liberated. 🏃😁 🎈Weather Tips Daytime: Sunny around 10-25C At night: Be sure to keep warm, dress at around -5-6℃ at night: the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so bring a jacket/thick coat😄 🎈 Tickets: 190 Sightseeing bus: 90 Free admission for seniors over 60 years old Free admission for children under 6 years old/under 1.2 meters tall !

Although there are many people in the peak season, Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has strong diversion capabilities, so there is no need to worry about crowds or queues. 2. When you arrive at a scenic spot in the morning, don’t spend too much time in one scenic spot just because it’s new. Arrange your time reasonably and don’t walk if you can take a car. 3. The weather in the plateau is changeable. The weather forecast said it would rain, but it was sunny when we arrived. The weather forecast is for reference only. You still need to bring rain gear. 👍 4. Be sure to wear sun protection, especially the back of your neck, as this area is particularly prone to sunburn. Be sure to wear a sun hat with a top, as your scalp can easily get sunburned. 5. It’s normal for Jiuzhaigou to rain from time to time, but it’s sunny most of the time, and the scenery is really beautiful now😊 6. If you want to take a photo with the scenery but don’t find a good angle, you can bring a reflector, and the face will be softer and brighter😄 7. There are stalls renting Tibetan costumes for photo shooting in Wuhua Lake and Shuzheng Qunhai. Remember to bargain boldly, or ask more questions. Compare prices from three different stores so as not to spend too much. 8. Be careful when buying jade and medicinal materials in the Tibetan villages in Jiuzhaigou. Remember this!

A fairyland on earth, Jiuzhaigou's picturesque scenery awaits your exploration! However, make sure to plan your trip carefully before you set off to avoid any pitfalls. Please save this super practical travel guide! I. Transportation Guide - Airplane: Direct flights to Huanglong Airport are available, approximately a 2-hour drive from the entrance of Jiuzhaigou. However, be aware of altitude sickness as the elevation is quite high. - Self-driving: About 400 kilometers from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou, it takes around 8 hours, with many curves on the road, requiring good driving skills. - High-speed train: Depart from Chengdu East to Zhengjiangguan Station, where shuttle buses to Jiuzhaigou scenic area are available, or you can choose to join a tour group, with a guide to pick you up after disembarking. II. Accommodation and Dining Suggestions - At the entrance: Close to the 'Eternal Love of Jiuzhaigou' performance, which you can enjoy in the evening. Nearby is a food street with lots of delicious and fun options, and it's quite lively and relatively safe. It's also close to the scenic area and convenient for transportation. - Inside the scenic area: There are restaurants and buffets at the Nuorilang Transfer Station, as well as a supermarket, but the prices are a bit high, so it's recommended to bring your own snacks and instant noodles. III. Important Tips - It is advised to enter the scenic area around 7:20 AM to avoid crowds. From April to May, you can wear lighter clothes, such as fleece, softshell jackets, and quick-drying garments; at the same time, remember to bring spare clothes for warmth. - Fireworks are prohibited inside the scenic area, with designated smoking areas available. Smoking outside these areas will result in a fine. - It's suggested to carry cash in case of emergencies, as there may be no signal in the scenic area, making payments inconvenient. - Jiuzhaigou is at a high altitude, but altitude sickness is generally not a problem. However, if you experience mild symptoms, keep warm to avoid catching a cold, slow down your pace, and avoid strenuous exercise. - At the entrance of the scenic area, gloves, hats, knee pads, raincoats, and shoe covers are sold at reasonable prices. - Jiuzhaigou is close to Huanglong scenic area, which is also worth visiting. - When taking the sightseeing bus, it is recommended to sit on the left side for Shuzheng Valley and Zechawa Valley, and on the right side for Rize Valley. - The usual tour sequence is: take the sightseeing bus directly to the highest point of Rize Valley, Wuhuahai, then visit Zechawa Valley, and finally Shuzheng Valley. - Wuhuahai is one of the most famous and beautiful spots in Jiuzhaigou, with its rich variety and myriad of postures, truly the essence of the Jiuzhaigou scenic area. - The scenic area is quite large, so it's recommended to take the sightseeing bus to reduce walking, which can be physically demanding. IV. Other Suggestions - Jiuzhaigou implements a same-day ticket reservation system, and if you wish to enter the valley a second time, you need to purchase another ticket. - Be cautious when buying jade at Jiuzhaigou Tibetan villages and visitor centers, it's recommended to buy from regular large supermarkets. - Prices are higher in the mountains, and toilets may not have paper; some are squat toilets, others are seated, but the sanitary conditions are generally good.

Jiuzhaigou is a place that can only be walked in one day. You have to take your time to see the scenery and check in. If you want to take photos, you probably can't finish the walk. It was off-season when I went there, but it felt different. I want to go to Jiuzhaigou in October. 3 days and 2 nights in Jiuzhaigou is more than enough time.

It turns out that the title "Fairy Tale World" in the Chinese textbook was written by Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area itself.📖 💎【20,000 Steps for the Ultimate Decisive Guide】 ⚠The left branch line is completely frozen❌ The right branch line is the winter beauty! 🚫Routes to avoid: Panda Lake× | Pearl Shoal Beach× (You'll get tired of the icefalls later) 🔥Recommended route: Sword Bamboo Sea→Five Flower Lake (sapphire dropped into a palette)→Mirror Lake (snow mountain reflection in mirror mode)→Nuorilang Waterfall (giant crystal chandelier)→Rhinoceros Lake (golden light in the afternoon)→Shuzheng Lakes (emerald box overturned by God)→Spark Sea (watch out for otters!) 📸 Three Legendary Photo Spots 1⃣ Jiuzhaigou - Five Flower Lake (11:00-12:00) Crouch at the corner of the boardwalk, let the sunlight split the lake water into peacock blue and emerald green, throw your down jacket to your companion, wear a white sweater and kneel on the viewing platform for a top-down shot! 2⃣ Shuzheng Lakes (before 14:30) Use a telephoto lens to frame the azure lakes and prayer wheels together, and take continuous shots the moment the prayer flags are blown by the wind. 3⃣ Spark Sea (15:00-16:00) Shoot the Tibetan villages reflected in the shimmering water, otters often forage near the small waterfall on the right. 👗Tips for Taking Photos in Tibetan Clothing ✔ Choose royal blue/bright red!

Arrive at the entrance before 8:00 am to avoid tour groups. Choose Cantonese-style cured meat for self-heating hot pot, it goes perfectly with the snowy scenery. ⚠Hard-Learned Lessons ▫ Wear a furry hat! The plateau wind will blow your mind. ▫ Wear non-slip shoes with V-shaped soles! The Mirror Lake boardwalk is icy and dangerous. ▫ Bring two sets of hand warmers! They're more important for your phone than for you. ▫ Prepare 1 yuan bills! The restroom attendant at Tiger Lake only accepts cash.

Planning to visit Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou during the Lunar New Year? Here are some tips to help you plan your trip. 1. Itinerary (2 days should be enough for young people) Day 1: Take a high-speed train from Chengdu to Huanglong & Jiuzhaigou Station, visit Huanglong, and stay overnight at the entrance to Jiuzhaigou. Day 2: Visit Jiuzhaigou, return to the high-speed train station in the evening, and return to Chengdu at night. 2. Be prepared: Winter clothes, medicine (altitude sickness medicine, cold medicine), power bank, hiking boots (I didn't buy an oxygen tank, so I'm not sure how to buy one) Altitude: Highest point is 3,500 m (Lhasa is 3,600 m for reference) 3. Book tickets in advance: (1) Round-trip high-speed train tickets from Chengdu to Huanglong & Jiuzhaigou Station (as hard to get as a hospital specialist appointment) (2) Huanglong: Bus tickets from the high-speed train station to Huanglong (40 mins), scenic area tickets, cable car tickets, sightseeing bus tickets (if you don't have a sightseeing bus ticket, you'll need to walk for 30 mins after taking the cable car up) (3) Bus tickets from Huanglong to Jiuzhaigou (2 hrs) (4) Hotel accommodation at the entrance to Jiuzhaigou (breakfast included recommended) (5) Jiuzhaigou tickets (including scenic area shuttle bus) (6) Bus tickets from Jiuzhaigou to the high-speed train station (2 hrs) 4. Huanglong: Be careful at high-altitude attractions. (1) Store your luggage at the visitor center, not the cable car station. The exit is at the visitor center. (2) Take the cable car up, don't walk. The lower cable car station is at 3,100 m. The upper cable car station is at 3,400 m (don't run, take some time to acclimatize before moving around) (3) It takes 2 hrs to get from Huanglong to Jiuzhaigou. We recommend leaving the scenic area by 4:30 pm to catch the bus. (4) Stay near the entrance to Jiuzhaigou. 5. Jiuzhaigou: Tickets are only valid for one day. (1) Enter the scenic area as soon as it opens. There are fewer people and shorter lines. (2) It's relatively easy to get around. The shuttle buses are very smart and user-friendly. Jiuzhaigou is a very mature attraction. (3) Take the shuttle bus between attractions (between each lake), don't walk, to save energy. (4) It takes 2 hrs to get from Jiuzhaigou to the high-speed train station. Plan your visit accordingly. Allow at least 3 hrs (traffic jams are common in the mountains).

Jiuzhaigou is a large nature reserve located in the northern part of Sichuan Province, about 500 kilometers from Chengdu.

Five Flower Lake is located in the middle of Rize Valley, upstream of Peacock River, at an altitude of 2,462 meters. It is 450 meters long, 313 meters wide, and 9 meters deep. It is a barrier lake formed by landslides and mudslides blocking the original glacial valley.  Five Flower Lake is known as "Jiuzhai Valley's one and only" because of the calcium deposits on the lakebed, various colors of algae, and the colorful reflections of the trees on the shore. In the same body of water, you can see colors such as goose yellow, dark green, deep blue, and navy blue, creating a mottled and colorful scene. From the mountain, Five Flower Lake looks like a peacock with its feathers spread.

【Introduction】: Jiuzhaigou, located in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, is a paradise on earth known for its natural landscapes such as alpine lakes, waterfalls, and colorful forests.

I went there before the ticket price changed during the peak season, and thus caught the tail end of the color palette. The tour of the scenic area is very straightforward, and the guide on board explains very clearly. You don’t have to get up early in winter. Just go to the gate of the scenic area at 9 o’clock after breakfast to queue up for the shuttle bus. Take the Y-shaped route and first go to the vertex Changhai on one side (the direction is random and depends on the arrangement of the scenic spot). Follow the crowd and play backwards. Transfer to the primeval forest at the top of the other side of the Y-shape, and continue the tour by car in reverse after hiking. It is recommended to start the hiking route from Wuhua Lake, and then go back to visit most of the attractions in Shuzheng Valley until you reach Luwei Lake. You can decide whether to skip a station based on your physical strength. Apart from the fact that the human body feels a little worse due to the crowded environment, you will still be deeply shocked by nature. November or earlier is fine. If you don’t want to eat in the scenic area, remember to bring your own meals.
