Is it convenient to charter a car for Jiuzhaigou Tour?

The six-day trip to Jiuzhaigou in Chengdu is from March 13th to March 18th. Before the trip, I read a lot of travel notes about Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou on Ctrip, which was very helpful. The weather in March is suddenly warm but then cold, so you can wear a thin sweater, fleece and a jacket in the ditch. It's hot at noon but gets cold after 4pm. If it snows, gloves are still very useful. If the road is slippery, you need to hold on to the railings on the side of the road, and your shoes need to be non-slip. There are many snack bars in Mizokou, Jiuzhaigou, offering rice, porridge, pasta, and snacks. The previous travel notes mentioned that the hot and sour noodles in "Chengdu Snacks" opposite Mizokou Taxation Bureau are very delicious. I also tried it and it was indeed very good. It felt even more delicious than the one I had at Zhang Laoer's outside Wenshu Monastery in Chengdu. There are many snacks in Chengdu, but they are quite spicy and spicy. We saw some sweet noodles and thought it was a bit strange. We ordered one. We were served a red bowl with a lot of oil. The noodles were thick and long and they were cold noodles. The sweet noodles were also sweet and spicy. But it’s quite delicious from QQ. As for where to stay, we chose "Chengdu Traffic Youth Hostel" based on other people's previous recommendations. The main reason is that the location is very good. Take 303 from the airport and get off at the Minshan Hotel at the end. Just ask Linjiang Middle Road. Walk slowly for 20 minutes. It's enough. The Xinnanmen Station going to Jiuzhaigou is only about 150 meters away from the courtyard next door to this youth hostel, which is very convenient. The disadvantage is that the room is relatively small and the sound insulation is not very good. The sound of closing the door is very loud all night long. In addition, the bed is a bit soft. After returning from Jiuzhaigou, we stayed at the "Jiaotong Hotel", which is in the same building as the Jiaotong Youth Hostel. Because there was a food and wine festival in Chengdu, the price suddenly went up a lot. The standard room originally cost 140 yuan, and it rose to 268 yuan. The rooms are relatively small, but the bathrooms are large, and the windows can be opened very large (the security here is very good, so the windows can be opened so large). There are small balconies at the end of the corridors of these two hostels where you can hang clothes. I stayed at "Jiuzhai Self-Travel Youth Hostel" for three nights in Jiuzhaigou. The house is relatively new and has hot water all day long. The air conditioner is not equipped with electric blankets. Very good and worth staying. It takes about 5 minutes to walk from the hostel to the entrance of the scenic spot. It’s about 400 kilometers from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou, and the ticket costs 145 yuan. Passing through Dujiangyan City, (the seats in front of our car were all given to Dujiangyan City) Wenchuan, and Songfan. The massive landslides caused by the May 12th earthquake were on both sides of the road. In many places on the mountains on the roadside, iron mesh was used to hold back the debris. It was quite hard to ride the old bus for 10 hours.

Relics of the Great Earthquake

The public transportation in Chengdu feels very expensive. It costs RMB 2 without air conditioning. We live on Linjiang Road, across the river from Binjiang Road, in Binjiang. Take bus No. 35 to get to the museum, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Qingyang Palace, Cultural Park and Qintai Road. After walking out of Qintai Road, turn right and you will find Kuanzhai Alley not far away. Take bus 82 on Binjiang Road to get to Wuhou Temple and Jinli. In addition, less than 100 meters to the north from Minshan Hotel, that is, towards Tianfu Square, is the Jinjiang Hotel Station. You can take the subway to Wenshu Monastery, Tianfu Square, and North Railway Station (to go to Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan, you can take the train at North Station) ). When I arrived in Chengdu at noon on March 13, I first went to Xinnanmen Station to buy a ticket for the next day, and then took a taxi to the Sichuan Museum. I had lunch at Chen Mapo Tofu Shop for 20 yuan (there was a traffic jam at noon). You can get your tickets to the museum with your ID card, and then go to Qingyang Palace (10 yuan/person), Cultural Park, and Qintai Road. (The cafe in the Cultural Park is so lively)

Eat hot pot in the evening (not used to it, too oily) and take the No. 35 bus back to the hotel.

March 14th. From Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou. On March 15th, a large number of people entering the ditch walked past the window early in the morning. It turned out that Jiuzhaigou’s tickets were buy one, get one free. Although the environmentally friendly vehicles in the scenic area come one after another, there are too many people, which is called a squeeze. There are also some problems with the arrangement of the scenic spot. Most of the cars will let everyone off when they arrive at Shuzheng Village, and then return to the ditch mouth to pick up people. This makes the section of the wooden plank road from Shuzheng Village to Laohuhai overcrowded, and it will be pushed up by the crowd again at Laohuhai. Got the car. Jiuzhaigou is indeed beautiful, although many of the boardwalks are blocked in the off-season. The environmentally friendly vehicle took us directly to Changhai. The altitude of Changhai is relatively high and it is still covered with ice. If you walk fast, you will get a little out of breath. Not far away is Wucai Pond. , there are snowy mountains behind Hao Xiao.

At noon, most people ate at Nuorilang Center. If you want to add some hot water, you have to buy instant noodles or ham sausage. After lunch, we took a bus to Arrow Bamboo Sea, Panda Sea, from Wuhua Sea to Pearl Beach to Mirror Sea, and finally walked the section from Tiger Sea to Shuzheng Village that we walked in the morning again. There were so few people there so we left the ditch at around five o'clock. . On March 16, when I opened the curtains in the morning, the mountains outside were white and snowing. I wonder if there will be snow in the ditch? Because the second time we entered the ditch was an hour later than yesterday, there were obviously a lot less tourists. This was like the off-season. I asked the tour guide who was following the car that our car was going directly to Jianzhuhai, so we got on the car immediately. Why did I forget to sit on the left again? We are really old. We entered the silver world before driving very far. The children sitting in the back row kept shouting, look, it’s so beautiful. Yesterday we were sitting here basking in the sun in the Arrow Bamboo Sea. Now the snow can cover our feet. Everyone is so happy and busy taking pictures, having snowball fights, and building snowmen.

After the snow, we walked through the Arrow Bamboo Sea, Panda Sea, and Wuhua Sea again, and walked along the wooden plank road to the Pearl Sea. The snow on the trees along the way fell in large chunks due to the sun. It was like raining, the road was slippery and some people fell down. At 2:30 in the afternoon, we set out for several lakes below Shuzheng Village. I thought it was very far, but it only took us an hour and a half to walk to Bonsai Beach. This section has the least number of passers-by, and the lakes are small but very beautiful.

After two days of Jiuzhaigou tour, we left the ditch at around 4 o'clock.

On March 17, I got in the car at 7 a.m., and when I left home at 6:30, it was still dark and cold. It cost 10 yuan to take a taxi to the station (it took about half an hour to walk, but I didn’t walk through it). As the car drove away, there was more snow on the roadside. It turned out that it also snowed outside the ditch last night, and the snow on the winding road was crushed into ice and occupied both sides. In the lane, cars can only drive slowly in the middle of the road. Two guests came to Songfan. They planned to go to Huanglong and stayed one night in Songfan. As soon as it snowed, the road to Huanglong was closed and they had to go back to Chengdu. It was almost 6pm when we arrived at Xinnanmen. It was very hot. On March 18, the willow trees by the Funan River sprouted new buds. I took the subway to Wenshu Monastery. There used to be a teahouse in Wenshu Monastery. I really wanted to go to the teahouse and make a cup of tea and sit there like the Chengdu people. But why is it gone and torn down? Are you building a house again? After leaving Wenshu Monastery, there is a snack street. I ordered a few snacks to try. We visited Wuhou Temple and Jinli in the afternoon, and took Xiamen Airlines home in the evening.
