Winter in Jiuzhai Valley

Jan 15: Huanglong Jan 16: Jiuzhai Valley: We took the hotel shuttle bus at around 8 am and arrived at the scenic area in about 10 minutes. There weren't many people at the entrance, and we got on the shuttle bus in the scenic area after waiting for about 10 minutes. The shuttle bus randomly goes to the end of the left or right line. We took the right line, and the terminal was Arrow Bamboo Lake (p1-p3). It was only around 9 am, and the mist on the lake had not yet dissipated. It was blown by the wind and drifted slowly, which was very beautiful. Then we took the bus along the scenic spots and arrived at Panda Lake, which was completely frozen, with snow remaining on the lake. Next was Five Flower Lake (p4-p8), with blue and green water, clear and bright, super beautiful. It was almost noon, and the sun shone on the lake, creating colorful ripples. Then we went to Mirror Lake (p9), which was very wide, with mountains on both sides reflected on the lake, and the view was great. At around 1 pm, we went to the Nuorilang Center for lunch. We bought a lunch box coupon at the center, which was enough to fill us up. After lunch, we took the shuttle bus on the left line to the long-awaited Five-Color Pond, which was indeed the most beautiful pond in Jiuzhai Valley. The Five-Color Pond was surrounded by snowflakes, and the shadows of the trees fell on the pond under the sunlight, forming mottled shadows. Different viewing angles presented different color changes. Afterward, we took the bus to Shuzhen Village and then walked to Reed Lake. There were many streams and ponds along the way. Since there were many twists and turns at Reed Lake and no stops were set, we could only walk there. It was like silk lying quietly among the reeds. We left at around 4 or 5 pm. Although we went in winter, Jiuzhai Valley did not disappoint us. Instead, it looked more delicate with the embellishment of snowflakes, like a limited edition of the four seasons.
