Jiuzhai Valley was underwhelming. Sisters who plan to go should reconsider because...
✨For those of you still wondering where to go in March, 👫 listen to me, Jiuzhai Valley is a must! Jiuzhai Valley in March has fewer crowds and beautiful scenery, like a fairyland on earth. 🧚♀️ Everywhere is full of vitality, with snow-capped mountains and lakes complementing each other, it's simply too beautiful to be true~
🌸Peach Blossom Viewing Time & Weather
When you come to Jiuzhai Valley in March, you must encounter the peach blossoms all over the mountains.
• March 15 - 25: At this time, the peach blossoms are just beginning to bloom, and the green mountains and forests are dotted with little bits of pink, as if nature has casually overturned a palette. 🎨 The eyes are full of fresh spring air.
• March 25 - April 15: The peach blossoms are in full bloom, covering the mountains and plains in pink, as if you have entered a dreamy fairy tale world, and the photos are amazing!
• After April 15: Although the peach blossoms begin to fall slowly, don't worry, at this time Jiuzhai Valley gradually enters the high water season, the waterfalls and lakes have more water, and the scenery is still beautiful. 👀
The temperature in Jiuzhai Valley in March is between 0° - 15°, the weather is relatively stable, and there are not many rainy days, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is a bit large, so remember to bring more warm clothes. 🧥
📸Photo Spots
📍The huge peach blossom tree by the Spark Sea is definitely a treasure trove for taking pictures! Standing under the tree, with the peach blossoms as the background and the sparkling Spark Sea behind you, the photos you take have their own atmosphere, easily get the same blockbuster as "Mount Fuji cherry blossoms", and get tons of likes when you post them on your Moments.💥
🏨Accommodation Recommendations
• Jiuzhai Valley Entrance: Super close to the scenic area, you can enter the scenic area within a few steps, and the surrounding facilities are also very complete. There are many places to eat, and various grades of hotels and homestays are available for you to choose from. If you want to live comfortably and conveniently, this is the right place!
• Inside Jiuzhai Valley: The biggest advantage of living in the scenic area is that you can enjoy in-depth tours of Jiuzhai Valley, avoid peak crowds, and enjoy your own quiet time. However, it is not very convenient to eat, and the price is also more expensive than outside. If you have a sufficient budget and want to experience a different Jiuzhai Valley, you might as well give it a try.
📑Tips
• Clothing suggestions: As mentioned before, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so a thick coat + warm inner layer is standard. Take off your coat when taking pictures, and you can take beautiful pictures~ If you want to make your photos more colorful, you can also prepare some brightly colored scarves and hats as photo props. 🎩
• Transportation: If you are departing from Chengdu, it is recommended to take the high-speed train first, and then charter a car to Jiuzhai Valley. The scenery along the high-speed train is also good. After arriving at the local area, you can charter a car and go wherever you want. It's super free, and you can stop to take pictures when you see beautiful scenery along the way. 📷
• Accommodation booking: If you plan to stay at the entrance of Jiuzhai Valley, it is recommended to check the reviews on major platforms in advance and book cost-effective hotels. March is the off-season, and the prices will be very friendly, and you may even be able to snag a good deal~

Beautiful parks worth going and spending a day or two to soak in the view and wait for the crowd to disperse for good crowd-free photos!
The scenery and routes are both good, but sometimes the shuttle buses are slow and the waiting time is long. I suggest reinstating the 2-day ticket; Jiuzhaigou is worth visiting for 2 days. I bought a 2-day single-day ticket and explored both the shuttle bus routes and the hiking trails within the scenic area.
ซื้อตั๋วสะดวกมาก ระบบจัดการดีมาก ซื้อตั๋วแล้วใช้แค่พาสปอร์ตเข้าได้เลย รถบัสเวียนก้อมาตลอด สถานที่สวยมากค่ะ
It is worth going. It is worthy of being an "old internet celebrity" who has been popular for so many years. The only bad thing is that the ticket is only valid for one day. In fact, you can learn from many scenic spots in Xinjiang and make it valid for 48 hours. After all, the scenic area is too big and one day is really tight. It is best to stay at the entrance of Jiuzhaigou in advance, go early in the morning, and play in it until the park closes. It is really not recommended to depart from Chengdu on the same day. It is a pity to only take a quick look at such a beautiful place. You have to walk a lot to Jiuzhaigou, so you must wear comfortable shoes. The management of the scenic area in Jiuzhaigou is very good. No matter how many people there are, it is managed in an orderly manner, and there will be no long queues. Specific tour routes for your reference: ❤️Sightseeing bus It is recommended to sit on the left side of the main trunk, the left side of the left line, and the right side of the right line, the scenery is better ❤️Rizegou on the right line There are many attractions on the right line. It is recommended to give up the primitive forest and Swan Sea (very far and the scenery is average), get off at Jianzhuhai and start the tour (walk nearly 1 kilometer from the get-off point to the pick-up point), and take a bus to Panda Sea after the tour (don’t walk there, the scenery is average and it’s very tiring, don’t ask me why I know), Panda Sea is far from Wuhua Sea and you must take a bus. Wuhua Sea is the most beautiful attraction, you can tour around the lake and take more photos. Continue to take a bus to Pearl Beach Waterfall, which is the filming location of the ending song of Journey to the West. You must check in, then take a bus back to Nuorilang, and you can also go to Nuorilang Waterfall. ❤️Zhechawagou on the left line There are fewer attractions on the left line. You can check in and take photos on the viewing platform when you arrive at Changhai, and then take a bus to Wucai Pool. Although Wucai Pool is small, it is very blue and beautiful. It is also a must-check in attraction, and it is very photogenic. Other scenic spots on the left line can be ignored, just drive around. ❤️Main trunk Shuzhenggou Shuzhenggou also has many highlights. You must control your time in front and don't delay the visit of Shuzhenggou. The most essential is the hiking tour from Laohuhai to Shuzhengqunhai. The scenery is very beautiful. The journey is only about 900m, which is suitable for lazy people. If you have more time, you can start from Rhinoceroshai. There are fewer people here at 4 or 5 pm, which is good for taking pictures. If you still have time when you arrive at Shuzhengqunhai, you can take a car to visit Huohuahai, and then take a car to Bonsai Beach. Walk back 800 meters to Reed Sea (Reed Sea has no station. If you get off at the previous station, you have to walk 2km). It is very photogenic and completely different from the previous scenery.
As a Sichuanese, I wanted to come here a long time ago, but I always felt that it was very close and I could come anytime, so I delayed it. Finally, in September 2023, I had a spontaneous trip. It was very convenient to drive by car. In order not to rush, I set out from Chengdu and stayed overnight in Songpan. I came to Jiuzhaigou the next day. I entered the valley at around ten o'clock in the morning. One day was not enough. I visited half of the attractions and continued the next day. It is recommended to spend two days. My favorite is Wuhua Lake and Wucai Pool. The other attractions are also stunningly beautiful. They are really the ceiling of domestic attractions. You can eat boxed lunches at the visitor center in the valley, and the price is not expensive. You can also eat at the villagers' homes. Language cannot describe the beauty of Jiuzhaigou. You must be there to know its beauty. It must be listed as a must-see attraction in this lifetime.
Jiuzhaigou 🏞️-Huanglong 🐉 is really beautiful, it can be called a paradise on earth, a natural ecological scenic spot created by nature. The water is like a mirror, and the scenic spots are more beautiful than one another👀, making you feel like you are walking into a colorful world of fairy tales! Jiuzhaigou-Huanglong must be visited in this life!!!
Now there is a direct train to Jiuzhaigou in Chengdu. You can take the train to play without choosing a tour group. First do a good job in the strategy, book a ticket and stay near the Jiuzhaigou scenic spot. The next morning, the scenic spot opened the park and went in to visit. All day, you can finish it. The evening train returns to Chengdu.
Jiuzhaigou, a place favored by nature, has water as its soul, mountains as its backbone, and the changing colors of the four seasons make people linger. As a "returning customer" who has been there twice, I have compiled a list of must-see attractions that are not bad and not verbose, to help you unlock the essence of Jiuzhaigou! 1. Top 5 must-visit attractions: the "ceiling" of the waterscape world 1. Wuhua Lake Recommendation reason: Jiuzhaigou's "face value", the lake water is blue and green, like an overturned palette. Standing on the Tiger Stone and overlooking the panoramic view, you can see the red leaves, snow-capped mountains, and reflections. A casual shot is a blockbuster! Hidden gameplay: Go half a circle around the lake to the entrance of the "Reed Sea", where there are few people and beautiful scenery. The reeds in the morning mist are more suitable for the lake~ 2. Nuorilang Waterfall Recommendation reason: China's widest travertine waterfall, 300 meters wide, magnificent! When the water volume is large in the rainy season, the water mist is diffused, and you can see a rainbow when the sun shines. Little-known fact: This is the filming location of the ending of "Journey to the West". Look for the shadows of Tang Monk and his disciples~ 3. Pearl Beach Waterfall Recommendation: The prototype of the waterfall in the opening of "Journey to the West"! The water falls from the beach layer by layer, like a handful of broken silver, and the sound is like thunder. It is especially cool to go there in summer. Photo Tips: Stand on the side of the waterfall, avoid the water mist in front, and take pictures of the artistic conception of "flying down three thousand feet"~ 4. Changhai & Wucai Pool Recommendation: Changhai is the highest altitude lake in Jiuzhaigou. The lake water in autumn is like sapphire; Wucai Pool is the "essence of Jiuzhaigou". The water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the snow-capped mountains and forests. Hiking route: Walk 20 minutes from Changhai to Wucai Pool. The scenery along the way is breathtaking! 5. Mirror Sea Recommendation: The lake surface is as calm as a mirror, and the reflection is clearer than the real scene. In the early morning mist, you can't tell whether the mountain is in the lake or the lake is in the mountain. Best time: 7:00-8:30, avoid the crowds and enjoy the fairyland alone~
