Travel notes of Jiuzhaigou scenic spot in Sichuan

Jiuzhaigou is a high altitude area, which is not suitable for strenuous exercise. It is advisable to drink less and eat more fruits and vegetables to prevent mountain reaction. To prepare commonly used drugs, it is best to equip with small oxygen cylinders (this can be purchased in Chengdu); Old and infirm people, patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease and heart disease should not go, or go to the hospital for a general examination before going to this area, and consult a doctor if you can go; ◇ Weather in the scenic spot: The temperature difference between day and night in the scenic spot is large, and the weather is generally good in September and1October, with less rain at ordinary times; The temperature difference between morning and evening is large. If you need to go out in the morning and evening, you need to wear a sweater and a thick coat, and the outer pants need to be slightly thicker. Female tourists are especially reminded to bring sunscreen with high SPF. No matter what season, the ultraviolet rays of the plateau sunshine are very strong, which is more harmful to the skin.

◇ Transportation: The road from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou is perfect, with first-class asphalt pavement. Although some Panshan roads look dangerous, the road conditions are not what they used to be; A few road sections will collapse in the rainy season, but the relevant local departments will repair them in a short time; The tourist buses on the Ninth Ring Road are all equipped with GPS, and the management department controls the speed limit of all tour operators, so there is no problem in traffic safety to Jiuzhaigou now.

◇ Catering: The catering of most tour groups in Sichuan Province is not ideal, mainly because the travel companies outside the province cut prices indefinitely, which makes local travel companies in Sichuan have to try their best to reduce costs in all aspects of travel arrangements, resulting in poor catering of regular individual groups; If you are participating in an individual group, whether it is a three-star or a four-star group, you can eat at the same time regardless of the team level (that is, the guests of the standard group dine with three or four-star guests, but stay in different hotels). If you want to eat better when traveling, I suggest that you cut down the meals in the tour fare and take care of yourself, although it is a bit cumbersome and it will be more expensive to eat alone.

Shopping arrangement: tourists will arrange shopping spots when they participate in regular tour groups of travel agencies. At present, a large number of guests resent this, but in the market economy, price is often the decisive factor, and only by arranging tourism and shopping will the cost be reduced. Although Jiuzhaigou has arranged many shopping spots, they are all outside the time of visiting scenic spots, which has no influence on the time of visiting; If you don't want to join a shopping tour group at all, you can also take a self-help tour all the time, but you need to have rich experience in self-help tour, and the cost is definitely much more expensive than joining a tour group; Another way is to take a group tour alone, and arrange a car and a tour guide separately throughout the journey. You can decide hotel accommodation, dining standards, shopping, etc. This kind of individual package tour will be much more expensive than the regular shopping package tour, but it will also be much more free.

Shopping arrangement: in the conventional individual package tour, tourism shopping is an essential factor to reduce costs. Although many tourists are disgusted on the surface, the goods in shopping stores are ridiculously expensive, but this is the crux of the whole industry, not a strange phenomenon that any travel company can reverse. Therefore, when you take part in the regular individual package tour, please treat it calmly with reason and understanding, because this is not forced shopping, but these links will exist in the itinerary! Because only in this way can you visit more scenic spots at the best price, and being tolerant of shopping arrangements during your trip will make your trip even more unexpected.

Shopping arrangement: some explanations about shopping arrangement: 1. Jiuzhaigou line: the shopping time is arranged on the way to Huanglong scenic spot (because it takes about four hours to visit Huanglong scenic spot, there is time to arrange shopping that morning); In addition, it was arranged on the way back to Chengdu in Maoxian, because there was no tour arrangement on that day; Shopping commodities mainly include: beef, horn comb, tea, jewelry, jade and medicinal materials; Second, the first line of Emei Leshan: the shopping time is arranged to go to Leshan Expressway on the first day, and there is a tea shop in Leshan Scenic Area; Main products: tea, jewelry, medicinal materials; Third, the first line of Hailuogou: arrange horn comb crafts or beef or medicinal materials when returning to Chengdu on the third day without scenic spots; Fourth, the first line of Daocheng Aden: no shopping arrangements; 5. Siguniang Mountain Line: No shopping arrangement;

Hotel facilities: Jiuzhaigou tourist area has matured after so many years of construction. Whether it is hardware facilities or software facilities, the opening of super five-star hotels is a good illustration; There has always been a misunderstanding in domestic tourism products, that is, tourists often pay attention to the star rating of hotels. For domestic tourism, hotels need to operate for a certain number of years to reach a certain star rating, but most hotels in Jiuzhaigou are newly built, and many hotels can't reach the fixed number of years; The description of hotel star rating by tourism companies in the publicity and external sales of guests is a star rating standard recognized by the same industry;

◇ Tickets for scenic spots: Many tourists think that there are discounts on tickets for Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, which is wrong! Tickets for Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong are not discounted at all by the travel company. In addition, travel companies must book and pay for air tickets online. Otherwise, the tour guide will have to buy tickets to take the group into the scenic spot. Tickets for scenic spots have appropriate discounts for students, teachers, soldiers and the elderly; In addition to the Golden Week, Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area implements the preferential policy of buy one get one free. When entering the ditch for the second time, you need to go through the formalities when purchasing the first ticket.

◇ Scenic Area Regulations: Jiuzhaigou Administration stipulates that tour groups should stay "in the ditch and live outside the ditch", but a large number of guests think that Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is so big, can you play enough scenic spots in one day? Although I took a tour of sightseeing bus in the scenic spot, I still couldn't help but have a quick look. Is there any other way to savor it? There's only one way. Now, outside the Golden Week, tourists can choose to go into the ditch again the next day, free of entrance fees and sightseeing fees (but they need to be photographed by the staff at the gate of the scenic spot on the first day and then scanned into your tickets).

Travel reminder: the starting point of Jiuzhaigou personal package organized by travel agency is Chengdu, and some guests can also book in advance and get on the bus in Mianyang. The travel company departing from Chengdu will arrange a car to pick people up at the hotel, and the guests of individual packages will stay in different places, and the tour group will pick up the cars in turn before departure (so sometimes they will arrive at the hotel later than the time notified by the tour guide at night, and may encounter more traffic lights, so I hope tourists will understand more). I usually pick it up around six in the morning. ◇ Pay attention to the scenic spot: take care of every grass and tree in the scenic spot, pay attention to the environmental protection of the scenic spot, obey the arrangement of the management personnel, and contact the management personnel in time if there are difficulties; Smoking is prohibited in the scenic spot, and smokers are fined 500 yuan once, which is quite severe, so please pay attention to tourists who smoke, and don't go to the tour guide theory because of being fined for smoking, which is a common sense problem;

◇ Attractions Note: There are hidden toilets and trash cans in the main attractions in the ditch. Please actively cooperate during the tour to strengthen your awareness of environmental protection; The toilets in Jiuzhaigou are all star-rated toilets, so please remember to wash them after use.

Never have the bad habit of not flushing the toilet;

Attention to scenic spots: it is forbidden to feed fish. To ensure safety, it is best to take a tour guide to avoid accidents. Because the main feature of Jiuzhaigou is to look at the water, please keep a certain distance from the water when taking pictures, and don't get too close to the water to prevent it from slipping into the water. You should know that the temperature of the water in Jiuzhaigou is very low, and you won't feel it soon after sliding down. Seemingly shallow water may be bottomless;

◇ Bank: If you need to withdraw money in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, you can go to Jiuzhaigou Branch of Jiuzhaigou County Branch of Agricultural Bank of China next to Jiuzhaigou Goukou Tourist Center, and there is an ATM at the door. Or deposit or withdraw money at Jiuzhaigou Branch of Yin Xin Hotel, Jiuzhaigou County Branch of China Construction Bank, and there is an ATM at the door.

Ethnic customs: Please respect the living habits and beliefs of local ethnic minorities and avoid conflicts with local residents. When shopping, you can listen to the advice of the tour guide (so that you can bargain when you are sure of the goods, otherwise you won't buy them when the price comes down, which will easily cause unhappiness) to avoid unnecessary disputes.
