3. Travel guide to Jiuzhaigou by car

You can first go to Huanglong to visit Jiuzhaigou, and then go north to Ruoergai Grassland, Huahu, and Zagana, or take a detour to Jiuzhaigou. Branch, where there was the Fairy Lake when Baoyu was there, then go north to Maqu No. 1 Bay of the Yellow River, Langmusi, Zagana, Milareba Pavilion, Labrang Monastery, and then to Lanzhou.

If the food is delicious, Gannan has Tibetan food, Linxia has halal snacks, and Lanzhou is much richer. There are hotels along the way, so don't worry.

I just visited the current location a few days ago. It is recommended to calculate the departure time based on driving time. It is best to leave in the morning or noon, arrive at the hotel in front of the scenic spot in the evening, and let us have a rest after spending the night. Book your tickets for the next day and enter the scenic spot early the next morning. Warm reminder, there is only one restaurant in the scenic area, so it is quite crowded. It’s best to bring your own convenience food. If time is tight, be sure to choose a suitable route to visit first, as the scenery is more beautiful. Of course, if you have enough time, you'd better take a look on the left. It's not bad either!
