Jiuzhaigou is located in a high mountain valley area with a large altitude difference. This geographical feature makes the red leaves alternate between high and low altitudes, forming a landscape with distinct layers and patchwork. The viewing period of red leaves in Jiuzhaigou is relatively long, and the ideal viewing time is usually from October to November.

This rich combination of colors makes the viewing of red leaves in Jiuzhaigou extremely visually impactful.

Traveled from Chengdu East Station to Huanglong Juizhai station which took us abt 1 hour. Upon arrival we are greeted by snow falling on us . We skipped the normal bus wait and go directly to Juizhaigou on a chartered cab. The cabbie charged us 65 rmb per pax and he already had 2 customer. It's 4 to go. I think this is faster and not much difference in price as the driver will drop us off at our hotel or the scenic area entrance. Entered the park the next day and I must say that it's so beautiful and relaxing. Was a bit unlucky as the autumn colour's are not fully developed yet. Still it was a wonderful trip

Jiuzhai Valley travel tips.

Jiuzhai Valley travel tips.

Some subjective suggestions for those planning to visit soon I arrived in Jiuzhai Valley on the 19th and checked in, then entered the scenic area on the 20th and 21st 10/20: Cloudy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon 10/21: Sunny in the morning, rain started at 1 pm Jiuzhai Valley is a weather-dependent scenic area The weather forecast before departure was rain on the 20th and 21st In fact, it only rained for a while on the afternoon of the 21st The weather was very good the rest of the time So keep a positive attitude Jiuzhai Valley is beautiful in all seasons Enjoy it 👔 Top: Quick-dry short-sleeve top + fleece jacket + windbreaker Pants: Quick-dry shorts + summer hiking pants Shoes: Thick socks + two pairs of Salomon shoes This outfit should be suitable until it snows The sun is strong in Jiuzhai Valley, so it can be hot on sunny days But it can be a bit cool in the shade, so this is for reference I felt very comfortable PS: Those taking the high-speed train, note that the station is much colder than Jiuzhai Valley! Itinerary I planned a two-day itinerary I wanted to take my time at each spot But I ran out of time and missed three or four spots (Definitely need a second visit) If time, weather, and energy allow, three days is best You can explore all of Jiuzhai Valley The core attraction is the 70+ km scenic boardwalk See the last picture I entered the valley at 8:30 on the first day and 10:00 on the second day. I walked non-stop except for meals, covering over 30 km in two days Some views are only visible from the boardwalk, and it may close in bad weather, so choose based on your own conditions I highly recommend going up to the primeval forest and walking down This boardwalk is amazing If you only have one day, plan ahead and decide which spots to visit Even if you rush, you can't see everything in one day (Avoid getting on at the central station, it wastes time and is crowded) 🍜 Have breakfast at the hotel before heading out Prices in the scenic area are reasonable, with restaurants and food streets, so travel light Opinions on Jiuzhai Valley vary, often compared to other places. To me, it's simply beautiful. Its beauty can't be captured by a camera. I'll definitely visit again. I hope you like Jiuzhai Valley too, and that this content helps you.

Jiuzhaigou 2-day tour.

Jiuzhaigou 2-day tour.

📍Attraction address: Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area 🚗Attraction transportation: Bus, homestay owner pick-up and drop-off 👍️Must-see attractions: Panda Lake, Wuhua Lake, Pearl Shoal Waterfall, Long Lake, Five-Color Pond, Tiger Lake, Shuanglong Lake, Reed Lake 🎟️Ticket information: Tickets were half price on the first day. There were a lot of people in the morning. We arrived at 9:00 and queued until 10:00 to get in. There were so many people that we were dropped off at the middle line, so we had to queue early. 💗Other tips: I went for two days in a row. On the first day, I went to the middle line and the right side. On the second day, I went to the left line and the middle line. On the first day, we were dropped off at the Shuzheng Lakes on the middle line, and we had to walk to Tiger Lake to take the bus, so we walked and looked around. After taking the bus, we were dropped off on the right side and started playing. We went back after seeing the Luorilang Waterfall at around 4:00 pm. We were a little tired. On the second day, we went directly to the right line. We got off at the next stop after the transfer station and Luorilang Restaurant, and then walked to the opposite side to take the bus back to the transfer station and then to Long Lake. We played all the way down to the transfer station and had lunch. Then we took the bus to Rhino Lake and walked to Reed Lake. The must-see attractions are Panda Lake, Wuhua Lake, Long Lake, Five-Color Pond, and Reed Lake. If you don't want to walk to Reed Lake, get off at the last stop before the exit, and walk back 600 meters to a viewing platform. The scenery is similar to that on the road. After seeing it, walk back to the bus stop. Wear comfortable shoes, as there is a lot of walking. My feet hurt for a few days after I got back.

Winter beaty of Juizhaigou❄️😍❄️

It was the best and the most beautiful Park I've ever seen 😍 Some people would say, that it's not good going there in winter, but I think it's the best time to go! There are less people and the scenery with snowy mountains and party frozen lakes are just unbelievable! It's easy to go around, cause from one spot to another you can always use a hop on bus, so you won't get so tired. Also in the middle on the trail, you can have some rest and eat, or even buy some souvenirs you need around 5h to explore all of the places but honestly you don't need to see every spot, some of the places you can see just through the window 😁 We came to park at 10:00 and left around 16:00 The Park shape is like letter "Y" so first you take a bus to the end of right side, and walk down (or use bus) till the middle then take a bus to the end of left side and do the same Overall it was amazing experience, the best scenery I've seen in my life! #winterwonderland #mountains #china

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area's Star Hotel: Jiuzhai Luneng Hilton Resort Hotel

The best choice for an overnight stay in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is the Jiuzhai Luneng Hilton Resort Hotel. As always, Hilton's service experience is warm and friendly. The hotel's hardware and interior decoration are quite high-end, understated and elegant with a lot of character. Since it is located in the Sichuan-Chongqing scenic area, there are many elements of local ethnic minorities in the decorations, which is quite distinctive. The room type we stayed in had a king-size bed, and the indoor space was 46 square meters, which was quite spacious and elegant. The king-size bed was very comfortable! The price for a double room with breakfast for one night is about 4750 TWD. The price of star hotels in the scenic area is slightly higher. However, since the hotel is relatively new, the stay was very comfortable and quite nice.

A Winter Letter from Jiuzhaigou | Not Every Ritz-Carlton is Called ||| Hidden World!

A Winter Letter from Jiuzhaigou | Not Every Ritz-Carlton is Called ||| Hidden World!

||| Hidden World! The off-season in Jiuzhaigou has a naturally cool temperament, and staying at Hidden World gives you a sense of seclusion in the city. You can watch my Vlog for a room tour of the hotel (already updated). I just want to share my real feelings in this post. 🫰 First of all, I was really impressed by the service: Every employee knows the local culture around the hotel like the back of their hand. The exclusive butler is always online, arranging all the itineraries and helping to pack luggage. An An at the spa saw that I didn't have gloves and immediately handed me two bottles of warm water to warm my hands. They also took the initiative to help take photos and blow-dry hair. The girl in the meditation room gave us a handmade pine cone when we left. She saw that my best friend had a mouse and quietly put a Tibetan-style mouse pad on it. ▪️ About whether Jiuzhaigou is cold or not It's not cold in the hotel, there is underfloor heating, and you can call a car for travel. Dress according to the temperature outdoors, and you won't be cold if you wear a hat, scarf, and gloves. Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area
