Highly recommended. There weren't many people during the National Day holiday, probably because of the epidemic. The scenery is beautiful and the lake is clear. The management is also more humane. Most of the merchants in the scenic area are nearby villagers, with simple folk customs and inexpensive things. Next time I'll consider staying in a farmhouse in the scenic area. The experience is better in spring.

第二次来花桥，河水突然干了有点不适应，不过景色很美，空气好。住宿菩提庄园性价比很高。早餐质量一般。菩提庄园餐馆，就是停车场的那个的餐馆还不错，不算便宜也不算贵吧，量很大，有一张快吃完了才拍的。两个人三个菜太撑了，味道不错。强烈推荐鲜竹笋烧牛腩，很嫩很好吃。农家小炒肉也不错，农家炒腊肉就太肥了。香椿炒鸡蛋也好吃，一盘起码五六个鸡蛋，差点吃不完。酸汤水饺也味道不错。就是节假日高峰可能要等。米线很一般像方便米线似的。包子馅比较少。建议能点菜还是点菜别吃包子米线。拍了菜单，以后来的游客可以提前参考一下，之前的评论太少了。

Saw some really cool stuff, worth a side quest in our opinion. As with any chinese tourist attraction it can be busy/at times but if you arent in a rush there are ebbs and flows of people and tour groups.

This place is beautiful. Come on a sunny day so the pools look more green from the reflection of the sunlight. It can be done in around 4.5 hours (we were up at 12:30pm, and down by 5pm - we took the cable car up and walked all the way down). Make sure you buy both the cable car ticket AND the park entrance fee. They are listed separately on trip.com. Also, buy some oxygen if you are not used to being in high altitudes. I originally thought it was a tourist trap but I saw a lot of people with them and my partner and I did in fact feel some altitude sickness. The only qualm we had about it was how crowded it was. We had lovely weather but the wait for the cable car was 1 hour, and locals have no concept of personal space and WILL budge/push to get what they want (a bit of culture shock for us!). Overall it was still enjoyable though!

Because of the rain that day, the ape trail was closed, so we could only choose the bird trail. It was still a worthwhile trip. If you don't choose one of the trails when you arrive at Jianmen Pass, you won't be able to feel how dangerous it is.

Zhagana is unbelievably beautiful! Surrounded by rocky mountains, the Tibetan village is shrouded in mist in the mornings, like a thin veil draped over it. Standing on the viewing platform, you can see terraced fields stretching out, with yellow rapeseed flowers and green barley, set against the backdrop of shimmering snow-capped peaks in the distance—every snapshot is wallpaper-worthy. The air is filled with the scent of grass and cooking smoke, and yaks graze leisurely. It's so relaxing, you won't want to leave!
