[2025 Jiuzhaigou Attraction] Travel Guide for Shuzheng Waterfall (Updated May)

💦First, let me answer a question: Is Jiuzhaigou worth visiting during the dry season in May? The answer is yes! Except for a small number of lakes with low water levels or even dried up, most are still incredibly beautiful with abundant water. Of course, if you're seeking the best visual experience, I still recommend going after July🐾 ☀️Weather: Jiuzhaigou is in a plateau region where weather changes frequently, and weather forecasts aren't very accurate. If you're hesitant, just go for it! For example, the day I went, it had rained the night before, but the next day was still sunny (although rain, clouds, and sunshine alternated). Remember to bring rain gear🌂!! 🏠Accommodation: I chose a chain hotel near Jiuzhaigou scenic area. Overall, the experience was good - it felt safe and the service was attentive. The hotel provides shuttle buses starting at 7:20 AM every morning, which is very convenient. 🚗Transportation: After taking the high-speed train to Huanglong Jiuzhaigou Station, there are direct buses available (WeChat mini program: Jiuyue Travel) that take about 2 hours. 👚Clothing: It's very cold in the morning and evening. Areas at higher elevations like Long Lake and the Primeval Forest are also quite cold. I recommend bringing a detachable sherpa-lined jacket that you can adjust as needed. Don't just rely on a shawl - you'll still be cold🥶 🌟Sightseeing: Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has a Y-shaped structure. Park buses randomly take tourists to any of the highest points on the left, middle, or bottom routes. Regardless of which point you start from, the touring order is always from top to bottom. Don't get off the bus midway🚗 (1) Left side: Main attractions [Bus] Long Lake ➡️ [Walking] Five-Colored Pond (currently in dry season, lower your expectations) ➡️ [Bus] Nuorilang Visitor Center♥️ (2) Right side: Nuorilang Visitor Center ➡️ [Bus] Primeval Forest (high altitude and low temperature, snow mountains right before your eyes; skip if you're wearing thin clothes or aren't interested in vegetation) ➡️ [Bus] Arrow Bamboo Lake (green water, beautiful) ➡️ [Walking] Panda Waterfall + Panda Lake (blue-green crystal clear water, feels like Sanya, must visit) ➡️ [Bus] Five-Colored Pond (can clearly see the intertwined roots at the bottom, stunningly beautiful) ➡️ [Bus] Pearl Beach Waterfall, Mirror Lake (I was too tired to go by this point) ➡️ [Bus] Nuorilang Visitor Center (nearby is Nuorilang Waterfall, which has very thin water flow during dry season and is quite ordinary - you can see it from the bus, personally I don't think it's worth a special visit, but go if you're interested) (3) Middle: Nuorilang Visitor Center ➡️ [Bus] Rhinoceros Lake (gorgeous lake with deep blue crystal water) ➡️ [Bus/Walking] Tiger Lake, Shuzheng Waterfall, Shuzheng Lakes (attractions are concentrated in this section; I was too tired to go, which was a bit regrettable) ➡️ [Bus] Spark Lake ➡️ [Bus] Bonsai Beach ➡️ [Walking] Reed Lake (not far back, very impressive with emerald green water, I loved it) ➡️ After viewing, walk back to Bonsai Beach and take the bus out of the scenic area🎈 ⚠️Important Notes⚠️ (1) Don't pack too many things in your bag. It's best to organize by category, such as makeup items, photography gear, food, daily necessities, etc. I brought a selfie stick, water, snacks, umbrella, tissues, and a power bank. (2) For solo female travelers, Jiuzhaigou is huge with many attractions. You must be selective, especially if you want time for photos. Walking around for a day is really tough on your legs👣

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.

I've always heard that once you've seen Jiuzhaigou, no other water compares! This Saturday, I finally made it to Jiuzhaigou! 📍Recommended Accommodation: Stay at the entrance of the valley. 🚗Transportation: Sightseeing bus + walking 🎟️Tickets: Sightseeing bus + entrance ticket: CNY 160 (off-season) 👍️Must-see attractions: ⭐Five Flower Lake (Pictures 1-5) Located on the right route, it offers different scenery in each season. I visited on March 1st, so it was still winter scenery. In winter, the overall color is blue with a hint of light green. The water is crystal clear, as alluring as amber. ⭐Pearl Shoal (Pictures 6-7) Personally, I think all the waterfalls are relatively average this season. I especially like the green on Pearl Shoal; it's full of life. Also, Pearl Shoal Waterfall was a filming location for *Journey to the West*! ⭐Rhinoceros Lake, Tiger Lake (Pictures 8-9) Tiffany blue, a very unique shade! The water sparkles, the wind rustles the trees—it's incredibly relaxing! ⭐Sparkling Lake (Pictures 13-14) The blend of blue-green water and milky white stones creates a unique charm! ⭐Arrow Bamboo Lake (Pictures 15-16) The sun shines on the golden mountain, reflecting in the green lake. Three birds play in the water, enjoying their time. ⭐Shuzheng Village (Pictures 17-18) Experience Tibetan culture. The air-dried yak jerky is delicious, and the barley cake and butter tea are also good! 💗Other tips: 1. If you're short on time, you can choose a few spots to visit. Five Flower Lake is a must-see. The other places have their own unique shades of blue, but you can skip them if you experience aesthetic fatigue. 2. There are many kinds of air-dried meat sold inside. The red one selling for around CNY 120 is pork, while the one selling for around CNY 180 is yak meat!

Jiuzhaigou Free Travel with Nanny-level Guide Day 1 Arrive at the hotel in the afternoon. Accommodation a few kilometers away from the hotel will be more affordable. If you want to watch Jiuzhaigou Eternal Love at night, there is a parking lot near the Eternal Love Theater. It will be cheaper to buy from the security uncle. You can ask You can go shopping in the nearby shops that sell all kinds of shawls, many of which are in the 30s and 40s. I just found out that it is better quality and cheaper than what I bought somewhere else. I was a little upset so I bought two more. Day 2 There are many tour groups entering the park at 7 or 8 o'clock. We chose to enter the park around 9-10 o'clock, so we don't have to queue up to get on the bus. Jiuzhaigou is very big. The whole valley is in a Y shape. It is impossible to visit it all in one day. So we made a trade-off. The highest point on the left is Changhai and the highest point on the right is the primeval forest. It would be tiring to take the kids there. I chose the classic Changhai line. The bus goes directly to Changhai Point and then stops back one stop at a time. Because we needed to do makeup, we got off the bus at Shuzheng Village. After finishing my makeup, I started from Shuzheng Village to visit Shuzheng Waterfall, Tiger Lake, and Rhino Lake. I felt that they were more beautiful than the ditch above, and there were not many people in the opposite direction, so I could take pictures freely. Then we took a bus from Rhino Lake to Changhai Lake at the top to visit Changhai Lake and Wucai Pool. It was already afternoon when we got here, so we continued to take the bus to other valleys on the way back. It turned out that we had a good time. When we got to Rhino Sea, there were more people in the afternoon. If you have the energy, I suggest you check in at Luweihai, but I didn’t continue because I was too tired to take care of the baby. If you have time and energy, you can continue to check in If you don't have time, we have already played most of the classics. Food in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is relatively expensive You can bring your own snacks, instant noodles, etc., and there is boiled water It is not recommended to bring a stroller. Most of the places require stairs, especially the Five Color Pool. About accommodation tips: In fact, you can live in two places: depending on your needs One is Jiuzhaigou County, which is about half an hour's drive from the scenic spot. It is cost-effective to eat and stay there. It is not far from the scenic spot. It is recommended. One is near the scenic spot: food and accommodation are expensive If your accommodation is more than three or four kilometers away from the scenic spot, do not drive to the scenic spot the next day. It is basically impossible to find a parking space. You can ask if the hotel you live in has free shuttle service to the scenic spot. If not, just take a taxi or walk to the parking lot far away from the scenic spot. About makeup, I plan to take the photos myself The shops in the scenic area are more expensive, and those outside the scenic area are 10 to 20 yuan cheaper. If you don't care, just go to the scenic area and look at a few makeup shops to choose the right one. It is recommended to only wear makeup and styling when going out for fun. It will be tiring to walk for a day with clothes on. Mothers with children should carry garbage bags with them Taking the bus is easy to get carsick because of the winding route. I saw a child Son Weather: Jiuzhaigou has been experiencing rainy and sunny weather recently, and the weather forecast is not accurate. It will be cold if it rains, long sleeves and long pants are recommended It's cool in the morning and hot at noon on a sunny day. It's recommended to wear long pants, short sleeves and a jacket. Remember to take sunscreen~

When a Fujifilm camera meets the palette of Jiuzhaigou ||Jiuzhaigou trip on October 2nd during the National Day holiday~ 1. Entered the scenic area around eight in the morning, queued for less than 10 minutes to get on the scenic bus. The dispatch system of Jiuzhaigou is really impressive, operating at full capacity with 40,000 people, but the queue is basically about 2 minutes to get on the bus, and the scenic area is also quite large, so it doesn't feel crowded even at full capacity. 2. Jiuzhaigou can be divided into three parts, similar to a Y shape, the entrance is Shuzheng Valley, to the right of Shuzheng Valley is Rize Valley, and to the left is Zechawa Valley. Upon entering, the scenic bus will randomly take you to either Rize Valley or Zechawa Valley. You can also get off at the intermediate stops. 3. Rize Valley has more attractions, the top point is the primeval forest at about 3000 meters above sea level, you can walk down from the top, on the 2nd just up the mountain from the primeval forest walk three kilometers to Swan Lake, the water of Swan Lake is not particularly beautiful, but with the green pines, yellow leaves, and sea of clouds on the surrounding mountains, it's exceptionally beautiful. Arrow Bamboo Lake, Panda Lake, and Five Flower Lake are mainly emerald green. Among them, Five Flower Lake is a must-see, characterized by its emerald green, various shades of blue, combined with sunken wood, yellow leaves, green leaves, and reflections of green mountains by the water, it's extraordinarily beautiful. Downwards is Pearl Beach, said to be the filming location of the 84 version of Journey to the West. Mirror Lake is similar. From the primeval forest to Mirror Lake, walking about 7 kilometers plus the scenic bus, it takes about three to four hours. 4. From Nuorilang Center to Zechawa Valley by scenic bus, Zechawa Valley only has Long Lake and Five Color Pond, a total of 18 kilometers. Five Color Pond is basically the most beautiful place in Jiuzhaigou, where I felt the only congestion, the lake is quite small, but it's very beautiful even from a distance. Long Lake is also good, it's the highest altitude in Jiuzhaigou. There is a bend on the plank road from Long Lake down to Five Color Pond that is suitable for taking mountain views, yellow leaves and green mountains combined with the road. Long Lake and Five Color Pond are mainly sapphire blue. The bus + walking + photography in Zechawa Valley takes about 1.5 hours. 5. You can eat at Nuorilang Center, but I didn't have time to eat, nor did I go to see Nuorilang Waterfall. 6. Shuzheng Waterfall is also a must-see, with Rhino Lake and Tiger Lake above, and Spark Lake and Reed Lake below. The lakes in Shuzheng Valley are mainly blue, not as deep as Long Lake and Five Color Pond, but they are exceptionally quiet and beautiful. Shuzheng Waterfall is quite rapid, suitable for long exposure photography, combined with the slightly slower blue part, it's simply amazing. Tiger Lake, Rhino Lake, and Spark Lake are quite similar. Reed Lake is two kilometers long, there is no bus stop, there is a beautiful spot about 200 meters in the middle of Reed Lake, with a sapphire blue water belt, surrounded by brown-yellow reeds, it's a great spot for photography. 7. The whole trip from entering at 8 o'clock to leaving at 4:30, walked about 80% of the area with the scenic bus, the time is quite tight. 8. Fujifilm camera is like a god in Jiuzhaigou~ Perfectly reproducing the colors on site.
