爱耍的周大爷:“Don't come to visit Nianbao Yuze in person on May 1, 2022. It's closed and you can't get in! But Omucuo, 50 kilometers away, is no worse than it. The scenery along the way is very good. The key is that there is no one! There are two lakes in total. The end of the road is very close to the first lake. You can reach the second lake by hiking 3 to 4 kilometers one way. The scenery here is the best and most suitable for camping. There are grasslands, beaches by the lake, and many fish [color] The weather on May 1 was still too cold at night. I'm afraid it was minus 10 degrees. Forget it, I didn't dare to camp [tears turned into laughter]”

liyuzeng60:“Nian Baoyuzhe Peak, also known as Golog Mountain, belongs to the Bayankala Mountains. It is a sacred mountain in the Golog area. It is very beautiful and spectacular. There are also very moving historical legends here. It is the birthplace of local tribes.”

行者华子:“It's a pity about the weather, but the Lotus Leaf also presents different worlds depending on the weather. When the weather is clear, it is definitely a paradise, and when it is rainy and foggy, it is also known as the Demon World!”

M28***76:“Jiuzhaigou is definitely worth a good review from an average tourist, but I'll give it a thumbs-up anyway. It's undoubtedly a paradise on earth. The staff were well-organized. Also, I want to emphasize that many people online say you have to get up early to queue for the first wave of visitors to Jiuzhaigou. Personally, I don't think that's necessary. We visited Changhai Lake and Wucai Pool, also taking the right route. We saw Jianzhu Lake, Panda Lake, Wuhua Lake, and Pearl Beach Waterfall. We had lunch and rested at Nuorilang Center at noon, and also visited Shuzheng Group Lake. We entered the valley at 8:30, which felt like we had plenty of time, but we walked 25,000 steps.”

GrandLine:“It is a very beautiful place. Midsummer is the best time to visit it. It is completely pristine. Many huge rocks on the hillside seem to be about to roll down, but in fact, they were formed in that shape tens of millions of years ago.”
Open today at 07:30-18:00 (admission ends at 16:00)
喜欢川西自驾游:“Having been to Jiuzhaigou, I was very satisfied with my visit to Huanglong this time. The scenic area is not large, and it takes about four or five hours to easily complete the tour by cable car and walking trail. The calcification pool is very beautiful, and there are many attractions. The scenic area is well planned, and you won't waste energy by detours. Just pay attention to the weather. We went there on August 20th, wearing long pants and thin jackets. We booked tickets on Ctrip and entered the park with our ID card, which was very convenient.”
Open today at 08:00-17:30(Tickets available until 15:00; admission ends at 15:00)
M22***56:“The scenic area shuttle bus goes directly to the top, and it's quite relaxing to play at each stop. The weather is good and it's very photogenic. There are food for sale in the scenic area, and the smoked ribs are delicious. You must go and experience the rafting, it's very beautiful!”

muchmi:“This is the best scenic spot along the way in western Sichuan. It's not crowded, the scenery is beautiful, and it's a very pleasant journey. Electric vehicles are available everywhere in the plateau area, which saves a lot of trouble. There are also charging stations in the parking lot, which is very convenient.”

滇国剑客:“Among the eight major cuisines in China, only Sichuan cuisine has soared to the sky and has an irreplaceable position in taste enjoyment. Sichuan Tianhe Restaurant makes Sichuan cuisine very well, thus winning the trust of consumers.”
滇国剑客:“Tianshen Garden Ecological Tea Restaurant combines tea drinking and leisure very well. The environment is very natural, which makes it very popular. Many people come here to consume during their breaks.”
_We***27:“It's close to the hotel, the environment is good, the store owner is very friendly, the food is generous, and it's very authentic Sichuan cuisine. I didn't eat any delicious food along the way, but I finally had a full meal at their place.”
恐龙911:“I chose to have dinner at "Ma Zhong Catering" just because it was closer to the "Xingyue Hotel" where I was staying, so I took a group of aunties to "Ma Zhong Catering".
When I first entered, the lights were bright and the kitchen was busy. I also went to the cashier to order dishes...
Who knew that after two dishes were served, there was a sudden power outage... We still sat calmly waiting for the dishes to be served... This wait lasted for more than an hour! [Facepalm]
"Earth Hot Pot" ¥148 We ordered a large portion, with rich ingredients, beef, wool, potato flour, cabbage🥬, potato chips, quail eggs... The beef and mutton were delicious. I remember asking the cashier what kind of meat was in it, and the reply was beef. We also had mutton, which tasted great!
"Bakery" ¥3/piece It had no taste and was not baked. I dipped it in chili sauce, otherwise it would be a bit difficult to eat it dry. I was waiting to eat it with the earth hot pot, which would have been more perfect.
"Yogurt" ¥6/bowl is more authentic and not too sour. The girl in the store said it was the yogurt that the restaurant gave out.
"Sweet mash" ¥6/cup I have eaten "sweet mash" in a northwest restaurant in Guangzhou. I just like the wheat kernels in it, and there are so many ingredients.
Stir-fried lettuce ¥28 The green color that the old ladies like the most is well fried and the dish is delicious.
💁Service:
In fact, the staff are very enthusiastic and diligent, and tea is self-service. When dealing with sudden power outages, no one explained it. And in the past few days of Gannan, I found that the catering here will be particularly slow in serving dishes. Maybe we are used to the fast pace!
🌿Environment:
There are four-person booths and round six-person booths. There is even a children's activity area, which is really considerate!
Overall: the product is good, the process is also normal, and the emergency handling is weaker.
🏠: "Ma Zhong Catering"
📍: Opposite China Mobile, Nanhuan Road, Jiuzhi County
⌚️: 09:00-21:30

渝泾先生:“This small shop has three large round tables and four four-person tables. It's a bit crowded, but it's warm in the cold climate. The coal stove in the house boils water and is used as a heater. The green pepper and pork shreds are fried well, but they are hard and astringent, similar to the roots of the sharp peppers. The mapo tofu is delicious, the best. The seaweed egg drop soup, the egg drops are beaten into boiling water, and it becomes egg soup. If you change to a low heat, when the water is not boiling, the egg liquid will gradually flow in along the pot in small mouthfuls, and it will become a flower.
The boss is too busy on holidays, so he can hire a temporary worker”
滇国剑客:“Lelong Tibetan Restaurant and Bar, actually the name is a bit unconventional, but the focus is still on food. As the food in this restaurant is good, many consumers come here to drink beer and eat.”
M49***98:“It's very delicious, I ate so much that I couldn't stop.
It's more suitable than I thought.
The environment is very good, the decoration is very beautiful, there are many interesting details, very Tibetan characteristics.
The boss and the waiter are also very enthusiastic. The grilled lamb chops are delicious😋!”
M42***74:“Very delicious. The environment is very nice and clean. The Sichuan cuisine is very authentic and worth trying. The portion is large and the price is very fair and affordable. The service is very warm.”
