I recently traveled to Jiuzhaigou and compiled some practical tips to share with those planning a trip. Save this guide now! 💡Best Time to Visit Jiuzhaigou offers unique scenery in every season. April–May sees wildflowers blooming across the mountains, while September–November boasts crisp air and colorful forests reflected in the lakes, making it the ideal time to visit for breathtaking views. 🎫Ticket Guide Purchase tickets in advance through the Trip.com app for convenience and to check availability. Peak season (April 1–November 15) tickets (including sightseeing bus) cost CNY 259, while off-season (November 16–March 31) tickets cost CNY 160. Booking ahead saves you time waiting in line. 🚗Transportation 1. Airplane: Fly to Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport, the closest airport to Jiuzhaigou. However, flights may be affected by weather conditions, so check the forecast before your trip. 2. Bus: Depart from Chengdu Xinnanmen Bus Station or Chadianzi Bus Station. The journey takes about 8 hours, but you can enjoy the scenery along the way. 🗺️Recommended Route Jiuzhaigou is Y-shaped. It's recommended to take the sightseeing bus to the highest point and then work your way down: 1. Rize Valley: Start at the primeval forest, a natural oxygen bar. Then, visit the Five Flower Lake, known for its vibrant colors and stunning photo opportunities. Next, see the Pearl Shoal Waterfall, a magnificent waterfall featured in *Journey to the West*. 2. Zechawa Valley: Experience the profound depths of Long Lake, followed by the small but exquisite Five Color Pool, boasting a rich array of colors. 3. Shuzheng Valley: Begin at Nuorilang Waterfall, the widest waterfall in Jiuzhaigou. Descend to admire the Shuzheng Lakes and Shuzheng Waterfall, both offering picturesque scenery. 🍜Food Recommendations 1. Jiuzhaigou Yak Meat: Firm and chewy, yak meat is more affordable outside the scenic area. Yak jerky makes a great souvenir. 2. Tibetan Butter Tea: A cup of this rich and fragrant tea warms you up and helps with altitude sickness. 👩‍🦰Personal Experience Jiuzhaigou's beauty is truly soul-stirring. Seeing it firsthand explains the saying, "Once you've seen Jiuzhaigou, you'll never need to see another body of water." The altitude is high, so take your time and enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace. Remember to protect the environment and avoid littering in this wonderland! Feel free to leave comments if you have any questions. I wish you all a pleasant journey in Jiuzhaigou!
