Live Your Best Lives
It has been a week since I returned from Jiuzhai, but the fairytale world still often comes to mind, looking forward to the next meeting. There are many travelogues on the Internet, but I still can't help but share our travel experience with all travelers.
The introduction of Jiuzhaigou Travelers have said a lot, so I will not repeat it here. First of all, I would like to share with you our tour itinerary, because we think it is the most satisfactory choice. During the tour, we saw the very quiet and beautiful reflections of the Mirror Sea and the Arrow Bamboo Sea, and saw the beautiful pearl beach and panda sea when the sun rose. My lover and I can enjoy the essence of Jiuzhaigou alone during the tour, because the successful route can easily avoid other tourists.
Jiuzhaigou The currently developed scenic spot is divided into three ditches, forming a Y-shape, the bottom is Shuzheng ditch, the left above is Zechawa ditch, and the right side is Rizegou, The central point is Norilang Central Station.
We have two days, and this is how it is arranged:
D1. At 7:00 Mizoguchi, take the car to Hizego, and at 7:30 to the mirror sea to watch the calm mirror sea. From Jinghai Station along the highway, after about ten minutes, there will be a downward fork on the right side of the road, and if you go down along the fork road, there will be an empty cement floor in about 3 or 4 minutes, which is the Jinghai parking lot, and there is a plank road at the end of the site. Going up the clean plank road is Pearl Beach. (As some travelers said, it is better to go up from the bottom, because if you go up to the primeval forest and then go down, you will always be dealing with the crowd, whether it is the attraction or the station, you have to queue, and if you go the other way around, from bottom to top, then, at least for the first 2 hours, you are quiet, and that is the essence of Jiuzhaigou !)
8:10 to Pearl Beach, around Pearl Beach is a circular plank road, at the bottom is Pearl Beach Waterfall, above is Pearl Beach, the rising sun shines obliquely on Pearl Beach and the waterfall, extremely beautiful, like crystal clear pearls. Be sure to walk around Pearl Beach here, as you can't miss any angle.
At 9:00, we started to move along the plank road towards Wuhua Sea, passing through the big and small Jinling Sea on the way, and the sea of different sizes reflected different shades of color in the sun, quiet and beautiful. After about 15 minutes, we arrived at the Five Flowers Sea, and the sea under the rising sun was really colorful. At this time, the number of tourists coming down from the road gradually increased, and it was considered to go up, one is that the distance is longer, and the other is more laborious to go up, so take a bus from Wuhuahai to the highest point.
After about 20 minutes of driving, we arrived at the primeval forest at the top of the ditch at 10:10, all the way through the grass sea and the swan sea, and went down the steps along the stream, breathing the unusually fresh air, enjoying the world of two people alone, which was really wonderful. After arriving at Swan Sea, take the sightseeing bus down one stop to Jianzhu Sea (the distance between the two seas is 5 kilometers).
Arrive at Yanzhukai at about 12:00. There are two plank roads along the Arrow Bamboo Sea, and the reflection on the side of the road is better, so we decided to take the side of the road early the next morning. After getting off the car this day, turn around and walk back 200m, taking another plank road of Jianzhu Sea, which is located on the side of Jianzhu Sea away from the road. This avoids crowds and avoids sun exposure. Pass through the Arrow Bamboo Sea, Arrow Bamboo Sea Waterfall, Panda Sea, Panda Sea Waterfall.It's a pleasure to walk and eat and watch all the way. There are also two plank roads from Jianzhu Sea Waterfall to Panda Sea, with different scenery, because you still have to visit the next morning, so you can swim separately.
Continuing down the plank road from Panda Sea Waterfall, I originally wanted to take the tiger's mouth to see the panoramic view of the Five Flowers Sea, but perhaps for safety reasons, the fork in the road was closed. At about 2:00, we arrived at Wuhuahai again, at this time there were already many tourists, but it should be said that the plank road side was okay, basically did not affect the viewing and photography, and the Wuhuahai under the bright sun was another scenery at this time.
Take a bus from Wuhuahai to Norilang Center Station and transfer to Chawagou. 3:00 Arrive at the top of Changhai , browse the panorama, and walk to the colorful pond on the extension plank road, where there are many tourists, but it is enough to see the scenery. I returned to Norilang at 4:00, feeling that my physical strength was okay, so I walked less than ten minutes to Nuorilang Waterfall, and then got off the car and returned to the ditch.
D2. At 7:20, take the car to the arrow bamboo sea and get off at the arrow bamboo sea, along the plank road on the side of the road, enjoy the arrow bamboo sea that belongs only to us, the reflection in the morning is also very beautiful, maybe better than the mirror sea. From Jianzhu Sea Waterfall to Panda Sea, from Jianzhu Sea Waterfall to Panda Sea, I walked a different plank road yesterday and felt a different scenery. At this time, the Arrow Bamboo Sea Waterfall is even more exclusive, small and exquisite. At 9:00, we arrived at the Panda Sea, and under the illumination of the rising sun, the Panda Sea presented a completely different scenery from yesterday, quiet and colorful. It is particularly worth mentioning that at this time, the sun in the east shines through the trees next to the plank road, the leaves are green, the lake is blue, and the lake surface is full of starlight, and the combination of light and scenery is really beautiful. (So, if you can pass by the Panda Sea when the sun rises at 9 or 10 a.m., don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery from the plank road inside the lake.) After enjoying the panda sea, we took the car directly to Nuorilang.
At about 10:00, we met Noriro again, when the waterfall was just facing the sun, there were few tourists, and everything was so perfect. After that, we took the car to the Rhino Sea, where the Rhino Sea was slightly breezy and the reflection was okay, but after watching the perfect reflection of the Mirror Sea and the Arrow Bamboo Sea, it felt less attractive. Walk all the way along the boardwalk through Tiger Sea, Shuzheng Waterfall, Mill, Spark Sea, Shuanglong Sea , Wolong Sea , Reed Sea, Bonsai Beach, get on the car and go out of the ditch. The scenery of Shuzhenggou I personally think that the scenery of the plank road along the road is more beautiful, especially the Shuzheng Waterfall, and the plank road behind the mountain cannot see the waterfall. The trees should also be seen from the side of the road, and you can see the panoramic view of the sea from a high place, although it is worth basking in the sun. The scenery of the reed sea and bonsai beach is average, and after two days, I may be a little aesthetically tired, so if you are too tired, you can not take the plank road in this section. At this time, it was less than 2:00 out of the ditch, and I wanted to go back to Pearl Beach to see what the scenery was like under the sun, but considering that D3 would also go to Huanglong , I left the ditch early to retain my physical strength.
D3, after checking out early in the morning, the chartered car rushed to Huanglong , and the car arrived in about 3 hours. Entering the scenic spot at 10:00, I began to feel that the scenery of Huanglong was average and there was not much water. 4200 meters one way, walking and shooting, less than two hours to reach the colorful pool, at this time to feel the yellow dragon , it is really a very different scenery from the style of Jiuzhai, the hard work of climbing to the top of the mountain is worth it, although the scenery is not much, but it is a spectacle that you will never see anywhere else. Although it is far from Jiuzhai in terms of cost performance, it is recommended not to miss Huanglong if you have time. Because I had to catch the 3:40 flight, I spent half an hour taking pictures and hurriedly went down the mountain, arrived at the gate of the scenic spot at 1:30, and took a taxi to the airport. The tour of Huanglong is very simple, and other travelers have described it, so I will not repeat it here. It should be added that it is more convenient to contact the taxi in advance, and it can stop halfway (such as Chuanzhu Temple, Jiuzhai Paradise). Luggage can be stored in the car, and the driver is also very responsible, so you can leave your mobile phone number for emergency use. In addition, when I went down the mountain at noon, I felt that the number of tourists going up the mountain began to really increase, and the people were okay when I climbed the mountain at 10:00, so I moved a little faster and could take pictures calmly when there were few people.
Like a running water tent, listing our itinerary as above, the proudest thing is naturally that we visited the essence of Jiuzhai in the first two hours of each day in Jiuzhaigou , which is definitely the essence. I only hate that my photography skills are too poor, and after returning, I made up my mind to practice well.
The traffic in the ditch is also as other travelers said, and you can easily get on the sightseeing bus at the greeting station. It should be noted that the minibus is chartered by tour groups, so it generally does not stop, so it is mainly waiting for the bus. The train departed at about seven o'clock in the morning, and indeed some bus staff did not know which ditch to drive to, and they mainly listened to the dispatch arrangement. If you are going to Changhai , you must transfer to Norilang and go in the direction of Rizegou, because it is really unnecessary to go to Changhai and Wucai Pond early in the morning. My experience is that the reflection of the mirror sea and the arrow bamboo sea in the morning is very beautiful, and the pearl beach waterfall should be appreciated when the sun rises, under the oblique rays of the sun, it really feels like the beach is full of pearls, and the waterfall is even more misty. The Five Flowers Sea and the Panda Sea are very beautiful to watch at nine or ten o'clock. As other travelers have said, from 7:00 to 10:00 every day, you must take advantage of it and arrange your ideal itinerary. There are very few tourists who get off at Jinghai and Jianzhu Sea in the early morning, so the next two hours or so are very good time to enjoy the scenery.
As for some travelers who suggest buying tickets online, from their own experience, it does not reflect much advantage. On the first day, I arrived at Mizoguchi at 6:40, and as a result, one or two windows started selling tickets in cash after a while. The service staff who purchased tickets online and most of the tickets in cash held a small meeting first, and the ticket sales started at almost seven o'clock, so I was a little disappointed. Just go straight into the ditch.
Clothing, food, housing and transportation:
Clothing: wear a coat in the morning, short sleeves at noon, and cover yourself with a quilt at night. The temperature difference is relatively large, the morning and evening are cooler, and the sun is also very sunny at noon. The sunshine hours are similar to those in Beijing , and the climate is drier than expected.
Food: To be honest, I didn't plan to eat well when I went to Jiuzhai. In Chengdu I bought a lot of convenience food to bring to Jiuzhai, and the breakfast and lunch for three days were solved during the tour. Dinner was eaten once at Dexter, and two more meals were eaten at Bianbianjie. The consumption level of small restaurants is similar to that of mid-range restaurants in Beijing , so it can only be said that it is okay. Bianbianjie is much quieter than expected, most of the stores are closed, but there are many restaurants at the end of Bibianjie, which are estimated to be about the same.
Zhu: This is what we are more concerned about. I originally wanted to live in Jiuzhai Paradise, but considering that it was inconvenient to move, and of course, more importantly, the cost was too high, so I canceled it, which was a little regrettable. By comparing the opinions of netizens and the recommendation of the chartered car master, I finally chose the Kangbalin card. It is built to a four-star standard, and it feels okay. The hotel is relatively new, the facilities are also very new, and the hygiene is relatively hygienic. Bathing and sleeping can basically meet the requirements in all aspects, and the service is also good. The location is very good, 2 km from the ditch.
Line: Chengdu to Jiuzhai is a double flight, and luckily there is no delay. The price from the airport to Jiuzhai can refer to other travelers, but the bus does not imagine that it is more convenient for the Chinese side, and it is better to contact the chartered car in advance. Because I live very close to the ditch, there is no problem of fighting.
Finally finished this in-depth tour in the ditch, tired + happy, and went back to the hotel restaurant to reward myself ........
