Weather forecast of Bashang Tianlu
On May 2, 2020, individual bicycle self-driving Jiuzhai officially began. Two days before departure, I booked tickets and accommodation for Jiuzhaigou scenic spot online. On may 1, I went to Carrefour to buy a lot of snacks to deal with traffic jams. The weather forecast also found that the weather in Jiuzhaigou scenic spot will be fine in the next three days. I got up at 8: 40 a.m. on the 2nd. It was an early morning. I'm a little worried about the traffic jam on Baidu map. Whatever it is, just go.
Not surprisingly, the traffic jam began to slow down as soon as we got on the Chengdu Ring Expressway.
The journey was smooth, except that the expressway around the city was blocked for 10 minute, and the section from Pixian to Dujiangyan of Du Wen Expressway was blocked for nearly 1 hour, and the subsequent roads were smooth. After lunch in Wenchuan near noon, I continued on my way and arrived at Songpan County at 3: 30 in the afternoon.
Through the Chuanzhusi Tunnel, Chuanzhusi Town, a transportation hub in western Sichuan, is in sight. From Chuanzhusi, you can go to Heishui, Zoige and Lanzhou. Turn right from the town and you can reach Huanglong Scenic Area and Jiuzhaigou County. Not far from the town is Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport, which is an ultra-high altitude airport for receiving tourists from all over the world.
The commemorative card at the top of the mountain in the distance is the Red Army Long March commemorative card.
Tibetan pagodas appear, with blue sky and strong sunshine. At this time, the temperature in Chuanzhusi is only 18 degrees, while the noon temperature in Chengdu is close to 35 degrees.
Through town.
Snow-capped mountains are faintly visible in the distance.
Drive against the snow-capped mountains
To officially enter Jiuzhaigou, due to well-known reasons, you need to fill in your personal information here.
There are a lot of vehicles in the back, in fact, there are many tourist troops.
At this time, the altitude is close to 3500 meters, and a little snow can be seen on the roadside.
Have a rest in the service area.
There is a lot of snow in the shade on the hillside.
Do you feel like a road?
The service area is just below the snow mountain.
There is snow on the hillside, and it is thick to step on. Our 4-year-old had a great time here, but unfortunately he didn't jump a few times and was a little taller. Ha ha.
There's another traffic jam near Jiuzhaigou. There's a card point in front to pass the meter to check the temperature. We were stuck here for several kilometers and wasted 1 hours to get through smoothly.
There are cars in front and back. After passing the card point, continue driving for 20 kilometers and reach Zhangzha Town, where Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is located. Calculate the time to leave at 8: 40 in the morning and arrive at the hotel at 9: 20 in the evening, and play all the way through Songpan at any time. I'm still a little tired all the way. Forget going to bed early and go to Jiuzhai Scenic Area tomorrow. It's just that there is something wrong with the scenic spot tickets bought by Ctrip before going to bed. I made several phone calls with their customer service, and finally got the online audit information, which is enough.
Thus, the mode of looking at pictures began. In the morning 10, we took the scenic bus across the ditch and went all the way up.
You can also see the mountains destroyed by the earthquake two years ago along the way.
During this period, Jiuzhaigou belongs to the dry season, with little water and a lot of dried Haizi.
Shuzhenggu is the first place to see it.
The scenic bus pulls directly to the Wuhuahai Sea, and then starts the tour from top to bottom. Before the earthquake, you can go one step further and start visiting the Panda Sea. Now the Panda Sea is still gradually recovering, and only a few scenic spots can be lost at present.
Look at the number of tourists. I always think there are more than 10 thousand people, so I already think there are too many people. It's hard to imagine that Jiuzhaigou received 80 thousand tourists during the previous big holiday. I don't know what it's like inside.
Haizi water in Jiuzhaigou is really too blue, which is far less than looking at photos on the spot.
Look at the lake carefully. There are fish swimming in it.
Visit Pearl Beach, the second scenic spot.
Does this waterfall look familiar? This is Pearl Beach Waterfall, the location of Journey to the West.
It was already noon 1 when I came out of Pearl Beach Waterfall, and I needed to replenish my energy urgently. So I took a bus to eat at Nuorilang Restaurant, and started the afternoon tour after lunch.
Take the scenic bus from Nuorilang to the end of another line in Jiuzhaigou, "Changhai", which is about 3 100 meters above sea level.
Changhai is indeed the most beautiful Haizi in Jiuzhaigou. Blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and lakes complement each other and are shocking. Many young ladies of online celebrities take photos here as souvenirs, and there are live webcasts.
This is Wuhai, the second scenic spot coming down from Changhai, because there is really nothing to see. The scenic bus will go all the way south at any time, passing through Nuorilang Waterfall, Shuzheng Valley Waterfall and several small Haizi. Because the long sea is so beautiful, we don't feel anything when we look at the small Haizi that passed by in the morning. We decided not to get off the bus and went straight back to the gate of the scenic spot. At 5 pm, the magical trip to Jiuzhaigou in the fairy tale world officially ended.
Starting from Jiuzhaigou, we drove to Songpan to stay. According to my previous travel plan, the next day we visited the ancient city of Songzhou and visited Songpinggou or Munigou or Huanglong Scenic Area. As the team brothers invited us to be there the next night, we had to revise the original plan and return to Chengdu directly from Songpan the next morning. Unfortunately, this regret can only be made up next autumn.

Simple and simple prayer wheel
Stop and take a group of photos of the little one. Thank you for your hard work.
After a relaxing 2-hour drive, I arrived in Songpan smoothly, stayed in the ancient city tonight, and visited Songzhou ancient city again with my family after dinner. The scenery in front of us remains the same. Last time, my wife and I came to play, and now I bring my 4-year-old son to punch in the footprints of his parents who played in those years. hahaha.
Take a group photo in front of Ma Chao's portrait.
For dinner in this street, the Hui beef soup pot tastes good, especially when the temperature is only 5 or 6 degrees.
After a short rest in Diexi, I patted it.
Diexi panorama
Uncle Yak on the roadside has a good business, and many tourists ride cows to take pictures. Going out from Diexi is Songpinggou Scenic Area. If you have enough time, you can also play for a while. Then there is Maoxian County. In winter, you can go to the ancient city of Qiang nationality and ski at Jiuding Mountain Ski Resort in Maoxian County. We passed Maoxian and Wenchuan and returned to Chengdu smoothly. At this point, the three-day trip to Jiuzhai came to a successful conclusion.
