This is a must-visit place if you travel to sichuan or China. Such a beautiful national park with all different kinds of lakes and waterfalls. The colour of the lakes look unrealistically beautiful. Suggest to visit two days if you want to see all the lakes and be prepared to walk >10km a day
The water in Jiuzhaigou is beautiful, and the bus ride is convenient. The transfer station is large and convenient for dining. The air and water quality are good. Tickets are available for those over 60 years old.

The cable car is very necessary, and the sightseeing car is also indispensable. I just don't understand the meaning of the daily limit of 5,000 tickets. Many cars are not full. Not everyone who goes to play will make a strategy, and will make a very complete strategy. It is difficult to buy tickets. The elderly and children are too tired. I hope the scenic spot will improve. The scenery is naturally impeccable and deserves the title of the fairyland on earth.
Huanglong is not bad either, but it is at a higher altitude than Jiuzhaigou, so it is more likely to cause altitude sickness. Also, it was late autumn when we went there, and the water in the shallows at the entrance had dried up.

We went for the 618-meter painted art exhibition, which was very impressive. We carefully and attentively viewed it and admired the artists! The Tibetan costumes and architectural fabrics exhibition were also exquisite and carefully arranged, and the viewing effect was very good.
It is really shocking. What I saw on my phone is really different from what I saw in real life. It is the first time I have in-depth contact with these erudite and historical things. It is very rare.

The birthplace of Tsongkhapa, the great master of Tibetan Buddhism, the temple boasts three sacred and three unique treasures, including the largest and most exquisite butter sculptures in China. Visiting early in the morning or after 3 p.m. is recommended for a more pleasant experience when there are fewer people.
I was very lucky on this trip and encountered a debate. Although I didn't know what they were talking about, it was very interesting. The tour guide I hired at the ticket office was great. He explained for 2.5 hours and his language was humorous. You can't take pictures inside the Ta'er Temple. The butter sculptures inside are so beautiful, it's an eye-opener.

Experience the charm of the Huanghe by rafting on a sheepskin raft

The scenic area has a rich and interesting program, with a well-planned itinerary. We didn't have to backtrack, and with a well-planned itinerary, we weren't tired. The sheepskin raft ride back was fun, leisurely, and a great way to relax. The three boatmen singing folk songs together on 33, 36, and 37 was a truly wonderful experience! I felt like this was a fantastic trip!
Yellow River Courtyard is the perfect choice for a stay in Shapotou Scenic Area! It includes two tickets, breakfast and dinner for two, one afternoon tea, and round-trip transportation by the courtyard's own shuttle bus. It's a fantastic deal! Highly recommended for friends and family!

It’s such a wonderful trip. Easy communication. This place is so beautiful and is a must visit when you’re in Lanzhou.
The VIP ticket was incredibly emotionally rewarding! The 3.5-kilometer hike from Nuwa Relics to Danxia Scenic Area took half an hour, and I was saved by the Three Forts in the rest area (the mountaintop prices were even cheaper than in downtown Lanzhou, which really made me cry! 😭)
It rained lightly this morning, so I started my tour at noon. The colors were perfectly dampened by the rain, and the cloudy day gave it an ink painting-like feel. This truly is Lanzhou's most famous attraction, and the ticket price is incredibly worth it! 😍

Magical mountain! The altitude is a bit high, more than 3900 meters, the scenery is beautiful, it is well worth going. No matter which homestay you stay in, you can dance Tibetan dance together in the evening. Remember not to get tired or you will run out of oxygen.
Travel with your dog to Zhagana. The scenic area is pet-friendly. You can climb along the wooden plank road with your dog. There is a large lawn at Fairy Beach where you can overlook Zhagana. Many restaurants are located on the mountainside. The air is very fresh and it is very comfortable to stroll slowly.

Traveling with a dog, the Sun and Moon Mountain Scenic Area is pet-friendly. There are beautiful prayer flags, prayer wheels, and the story of Princess Wencheng. There is an open grassland where little sheep are grazing leisurely.
Sun and Moon Mountain, a plateau landmark interwoven with history and culture, bears witness to the millennia-long fusion of Han and Tibetan cultures. Once a key point on the ancient Tang-Tibet Road, the legend of Princess Wencheng throwing a precious mirror here to transform the mountain imbues every rock with a rich history. Today, excessive commercialization is impacting this crucial point in the Qilian Mountains.

emmmm The scenic area planning is not very reasonable, the paid shuttle bus is only available once. If you miss it now, you can only walk. Snow leopards, lynxes and caracals are not necessarily seen. It's very random.
Xining has a large wildlife area. To see large animals such as tigers, lions, and brown bears, you need to walk into a specially repaired corridor. At noon, the sun was scorching and the beasts hid in the shade for a nap. I didn’t see the snow leopard, the most characteristic animal of the plateau. What a pity.

My boyfriend and I had a truly culturally enriching date at Jiuzhaigou Qianguqing! We hung prayer plaques and learned Tibetan dance together. His clumsy movements made the whole audience laugh. This shared cultural experience was even more memorable than just a simple meal or movie. Afterward, he said, "I didn't realize cultural performances could be this fun! I'll bring my parents back next time!"
As a photography enthusiast, the dark scene design of Jiuzhaigou Eternal Love is so friendly! The lighting technicians know how to use soft light when shooting close-ups of actors to avoid overexposure. The photos taken are so popular that they can be shared on social media without any retouching. In particular, the silver jewelry worn by the actors reflects light in the dark, and every shot is a highlight. It is a dream location for photographers.
