Huanglong is so much bigger than I expected—even after I entered! Just when we thought we’d reached the end, the next stop revealed there was more to explore. It’s as beautiful as it is vast. On one side, there’s a stunning blue lake; on the other, a calcium lagoon. Look ahead, and it’s the golden autumn. Look up, and you’ll see a snow-capped mountain against a bright blue sky. I can’t imagine any nature lover not falling in love with this place~
Huanglong, who accompanied my parents to go to Huanglong, decided to buy a ticket temporarily. The cable car is very convenient and it takes eight minutes to go up the mountain. The shuttle bus is also very good, Huanglong's supporting facilities are also very good, someone fractured in the rain, quickly helped, there are many rest stops along the way, praise
There is a cable car in Huanglong Scenic Area now, which is more magnificent than the scenery seen more than 20 years ago. This time I went in late November. There was already snow on the top, and the water in the pool was still calm and beautiful. It's just that there will be high anti-symptoms of headaches after going down the mountain.
After getting off the train, we arrived at Huanglong smoothly in 2 hours without any traffic jam. This time we chose the labor-saving route: cable car plus sightseeing bus directly to Wucai Pool (Tip: the sightseeing bus needs to be purchased in advance on the Aba Tourism Network official account. There are 5,000 tickets limited per day, and it is basically impossible to buy it on the day). We walked along the plank road from top to bottom. It rained heavily in the first half 🌧️ and it was cloudy in the second half 🌥️. We experienced different beautiful scenery in one journey.
The scenery is very good. It takes about two hours to hike up, and then one and a half hours to hike down. The scenery is beautiful along the way, but there is little water in this season. If you go in July, June or July, I think it will be more beautiful in autumn. There is altitude sickness.
Many people said that they should not go to Huanglong when they go to Jiuzhaigou, but they do not think that Huanglong's colorful Tianchi is worth a visit. Remember to buy tickets for cable cars and sightseeing tickets from the Internet in advance. You must do a good job of sun protection.
The scenery of the scenic spot is beautiful and the fare is slightly more expensive. The sightseeing car is limited every day and needs to be booked in advance. The scenic spot is not perfect, there is no boiling water supply, and the service area is small. It feels not too convenient, but it is still worth going.
We are more casual, high-speed rail to Zhenjiangguan Station, down to take the direct train to the guokou of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, the next day Jiuzhai one day, the evening is Jiuzhai, set to Huanglong through train, 10:30 to Huanglong, take the cable car, visit Huanglong for 3 hours, take a taxi back to Songpan accommodation in the afternoon, and then return to Chengdu by high-speed rail
