I plan to travel to Jiuzhai Huanglong Emeishan Leshan in July-August. Will the heavy rain affect it?
Jiuzhai Huanglong should have no problem in August. So far, the resumption date of the Jiuzhaigou car tour is yet to be determined.
Jiuzhaigou Car Group has a notice prohibiting group tours: It is now prohibited to organize tours to the Longmen Mountain and Longquan Mountain areas, and it is not allowed to organize car groups to travel within Aba Prefecture. Pay close attention to the recent weather and exercise caution when ensuring safety. Traveling to other areas within the province or city, and forming a group without authorization will result in maximum penalties.
On the 10th, Sichuan will experience heavy rainfall again after the 11th. The Leshan Tourism Bureau has announced that from 0:00 on July 17, 2013 to 0:00 on July 19, 2013, all tourist attractions in Leshan City will stop receiving tourists.
The latest news on July 18th is that Emeishan will resume operations on the 20th. In addition, heavy rains that seriously affected flights at Shuangliu Airport occurred on the 10th, 11th, and the 17th. There was basically no rain in Chengdu. During the heavy rain, flights to Jiuzhaigou were always normal (only the flight from Chengdu was delayed), because there was no heavy rainfall at Jiuhuang Airport, Songpan County, Jiuzhaigou County, and Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area.
It is recommended that you set off in August. By then the car group should be almost recovered. Even if it’s a Jiuzhaigou flight group, there won’t be any big problems. Traffic in Chengdu has been little affected by heavy rains, and traffic in Leshan has also been basically unaffected.
