Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Travel Notes: Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Travel Guide

For many people in Jiuzhaigou, it is full of dreams and ethereal. It perfectly retains the original forest style. You can talk about the development law and passion of human civilization for thousands of years here, so that you can experience the same natural and human landscape. Here I would like to share with you the matters needing attention in traveling to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong.

How to travel: travel alone and sign up for a tour group.

Day 1 day Chengdu-Jiuzhaigou

First stop Dujiangyan Panda Base

Take the bus from Chengdu at 8:00 in the morning and arrive at Dujiangyan Panda Base around 10:00.

Tour time: 1 hour

Baby panda is super cute, and the only exercise is eating.

The second stop is lunch in Wenchuan County.

In Wenchuan County, you can see the Minjiang River flowing through, and many buildings were rebuilt after the disaster. However, many mountain people don't want to move down the mountain to live. As the saying goes, "relying on mountains to eat mountains." They had no financial resources when they went down the mountain. Therefore, the government allows local people to set up toll toilets on the roadside. To travel here, you have to pay one yuan to go to the toilet.

Third stop Songpan ancient city

The ancient city of Pan has a long history, but the present city wall was rebuilt after the founding of the People's Republic of China and is not worth visiting.

No.4 station Tibetans eat Tibetan hotpot

Tibetan compatriots are straightforward and give enough hot pot, but they rinse their stomachs instead of meat. In the process of eating, Tibetan hosts will perform songs and dances. They want to interact with the guests, so they will eat and watch, and they are at a loss.

After dinner, Tibetan compatriots will invite everyone to dance in a pot. Although this is a very commercial process, we can really feel their 100% enthusiasm in the process of contacting Tibetan compatriots.

Accommodation: Jimo Theme Hotel in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area

Hotel facilities are four-star (with electric mattress)

Three-star ban restaurant gourmet

Breakfast: steamed bread, pickles, eggs, white rice porridge;

Dinner: rice, mainly vegetables and a fish.

Hotel traffic is half an hour's walk from the entrance of Jiuzhaigou scenic spot, and turn left. A supermarket is estimated to be the largest in the whole scenic spot (things in the supermarket are more expensive than those outside the scenic spot on average 1-2 yuan).

Visit Jiuzhaigou scenic spot the next day.

The best time to visit Jiuzhaigou is from the middle of October to the middle of October. It's the end of May, but Jiuzhaigou still belongs to spring. Many seasonal Haizi have no water.

Tour time: enter the scenic spot at 9:00 a.m. and leave at 4:30 p.m. Personally, I prefer to stop and enjoy the scenery during the trip, so I feel that I can visit Jiuzhaigou in a hurry in one day. If you just want to take a photo here, then one day is enough. )

Note: The plateau weather is changeable. It rained when we were leaving the scenic spot, but it stopped soon. It is recommended to bring a spare raincoat. There is a new raincoat by 5 yuan at the entrance of the scenic spot.

How to visit: As soon as you enter the ticket gate of the scenic spot, there will be a sightseeing bus in the scenic spot (similar to a line car, which can be taken for free in the scenic spot) to divert tourists to various scenic spots. There are sightseeing buses between almost every sightseeing spot. It is suggested to sit down and sightseeing from Changhai, the highest point of the scenic spot.

The highest point in the scenic spot-Changhai

I brought my own dry food and had lunch at the sightseeing platform in Changhai at noon.

Standing in front of the beautiful sea, I can't help but calm down.

When you come down from the far sea, the altitude will suddenly drop, and the sudden rise and fall of altitude is the most likely to cause altitude sickness. My symptoms are earplugs and headache, but it will be fine if I walk for about 20 minutes.

The most famous scenic spot in the scenic spot-Wuhai Sea.

It seems that in autumn, the leaves on the shore will show different colors, which are in harmony with the blue lake. But now I can only see green trees in my eyes, which is also very beautiful ~ I can see a snow-capped mountain in the distance, and the pixels are too low to shoot.

Jiuzhaigou has many waterfalls, large and small, but none of them are particularly large. One of the most spectacular waterfalls is the Panda Sea, but it is in the dry season, so you can't see it.

Walking between the mountains and rivers in Jiuzhaigou will make you feel happy. Travel should not only use eyes and cameras, but also be careful.

At 7: 30, Tibetan mysterious song and dance party, three performances a day, one ticket 120 yuan.

The whole party was still very shocking. The opening of the party tells about a Tibetan grandmother in her 60s. Her greatest wish in her life is to visit Lhasa from her hometown Jiuzhaigou. Taking Grandma's three-year pilgrimage as a clue, the party showed the beliefs and customs of Tibetan people in different Tibetan areas. I couldn't help crying several times at the party. Tibetans really live by faith. Treat them sincerely and respectfully in life. They sing and dance with their souls, without any disguise or hypocrisy.

If you are interested in Tibetan customs, it is worth seeing. My ticket is included in the tour package. If you want to see it, you may need to make a reservation in advance.

Day 3 Huanglong-Chengdu

Depart from Jiuzhaigou scenic spot at 5:30 in the morning and arrive at Huanglong scenic spot at 8:30 in the morning; Take the cableway up the mountain and reach the top at 9:30.

Only the top lottery pool has more water this season. It takes an hour to walk from the top of the mountain to the colorful pool.

Matters needing attention

From Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong Scenic Area, the terrain fluctuates greatly. From 3000 meters to 4000 meters above sea level, it will drop from 4000 meters to 3000 meters. The fluctuation of altitude is the most likely cause of altitude sickness.

Before entering the scenic spot, there were many plateau service stations on both sides of the road, which provided oxygen bottles, rhodiola oral liquid (80 boxes), hyperbaric oxygen mineral water (80 bottles) and oxygen-supplementing effervescent tablets (80 tablets, which were drunk in water).

A man bought a bottle of mineral water and effervescent tablets to prevent altitude sickness. I drank a third before entering the scenic spot and a third when I was in the scenic spot. I brought some earplugs when I first entered the scenic spot, and the rest of the trip was ok. However, when I first entered the scenic spot, I walked slowly, and the physical consumption in the plateau area was relatively large. When I am out of breath, I must stop to have a rest, otherwise it will easily cause a high reaction. That's why I walked from the top of the mountain to the colorful pool for an hour. Actually, it's not far on the road.

According to my situation, it is impossible to verify whether the water is useful or not. Some people in the same car didn't drink, which has nothing to do with this. Mainly depends on personal physique.

In addition, a large part is also a psychological factor. Because I looked up a lot of highly negative information on the internet before, it had a shadow on this, so when I first arrived at the scenic spot, I was very scared and my body was not very comfortable. Later, when I saw such beautiful scenery in the colorful pool, I left Van Gogh behind. Just busy taking pictures, in good health. Therefore, high rebellion should not be careless and should not be too nervous. Just take precautions in advance.

The journey to Huanglong scenic spot is very difficult, so it is necessary to prevent high reaction and temperature fluctuation. When we were at the service station, it was about 8 o'clock in the morning, and the temperature might not be 10. Many people choose to rent a coat (a cotton-padded jacket, 60 yuan). I bought a velvet coat and a pair of velvet leggings (a pair of 200 yuan, maybe 100 yuan outside the scenic spot). On the mountain, the sun is shining, but the temperature is very high. We found that there was no need to rent clothes at all. The weather on the plateau is changeable, so it is best to bring your own thick clothes to Huanglong.

In addition, the road conditions are not very good. Although they are all asphalt roads, buses have to turn up and down in the mountains. I didn't know what the eighteen bends of the mountain road here were until I went there.

Wang Anshi once said, "The wonder of the world often lies in people who are far away from danger, so they don't want to be there." Due to the development of modern transportation, we have the opportunity to enjoy these extraordinary scenery. However, physical and psychological preparations should be made during the journey. There will be fatigue and adventure, so the beauty of the world is so precious.

Two ways of downhill slope of color pool

Take the cableway (highly recommended, it takes about the same time as walking down the mountain, and it's a long way from Caichi to the cableway. )

Walk 7 kilometers down the mountain (you can choose emergency passage and sightseeing passage. The emergency passage is close to a relatively flat dirt road; The viewing passage is a plank road, and you can enjoy some pools along the way, but there is no water this season.

I choose to take the emergency passage. And azaleas.

It was not until 23:30 that I returned to jinniu district Jinke North Road. The tour guide said it was normal to go back to Chengdu during the summer vacation 12. Therefore, to visit Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, it is recommended to choose a plane, otherwise you will be on the road for nearly a day and a half.

However, it is also beneficial to spend time on the road. Gu Shuai, the tour guide, told us a lot about earthquakes and geological changes. You can also look at Wenchuan and Dujiangyan rebuilt after the disaster.

Two things that impressed me the most.

Gu Shuai is from Dujiangyan. He was at school when the earthquake happened. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with his school. However, another school one kilometer away from him completely collapsed and there were not so many tools to dig. My parents didn't give up, so they dug a little by hand. Bury all the materials of the seismologist underground. When he came home, his family dug up a bag of rice from under the collapsed house. This bag of rice was eaten by more than 20 people, old and young. He can only drink one bowl of rice soup every day. Some young and middle-aged families have to go out to work to help those seriously damaged families dig for food. The whole family put up tents in the fields and slept back to back at night. He said there was no other way but to wait for help.

300,000 people are missing in Wenchuan earthquake. These 300,000 people, cars and houses are buried at the foot of the mountain. How to dig a mountain? Can't dig.

Another thing, we passed by a place called Diexi Ancient Town, which used to be a transit point of the ancient tea-horse road, where merchants exchanged goods and once prospered. In an earthquake in 193 1, the mountain peaks split in the middle and the whole town completely fell. Now the place where the town is located has formed a dammed lake. If you dive, you can still see the historical sites of this town. There is only one survivor in the town, a cowherd aged 1 1, who was herding cattle on the other side of the mountain. He experienced three major earthquakes in his life, including Wenchuan earthquake. After the Wenchuan earthquake, he was transferred to a resettlement site by the government, and CCTV reporter Wang went to interview him. The old man only said four words: it's good to be alive.

On the road, looking at the majestic peaks and magnificent rivers on both sides of the strait, I can't help feeling the vicissitudes of life and deeply understand what life is like a passing cloud. No matter what you experience in this life, it is like a drop in the ocean, and even the changes in nature are hard to leave traces. Just then, I remembered what the old man said. I am still alive. I can still feel it. It's good.

There are many ways to travel, some for relaxation and enjoyment, so it is suggested to fly to Jiuzhai and stay for a few more days. Jiuzhai should walk slowly and don't rush to take pictures. In order to experience a different life and enjoy a different scenery, it doesn't matter if you suffer a little. It's also good to go to Jiuzhai by car. Because the time spent will always bring different surprises.
