When is the best time to go there?
Like the scenery, the climate at Jiuzhaigou is alpine. Autumn begins in early October and is the best time to visit because the scenery is at its most colorful.
-
Prepare your own food and drink
Food and drink are not readily available in the park. Every bus stop has a toilet. There are only some snacks and water in the village at the transfer station.
-
Do bargain hard
The listed prices are usually no true, so don't pay according to the price written on the price card, or you will get ripped off. Do bargain hard.
-
Time is too short? Then these are some must-see places and others you can skip.
If you only have one day, see the main valley, starting at the'virgin forests' and working your way down. There are more colored pools on this side of the park, and more places to walk.
-
Sorry, no camping.
It is not allowed to camp inside the Jiuzhaigou scene area, so it's wise not to prepare anything for camping, or you will carry all your camping stuff inside only to find it is not allowed.
-
Any festivals there?
The Ice-waterfall Tourism Festival of Large Jiuzhai, Aba and the Southern Ice and Snow Festival of Sichuan, have been successfully held here simultaneously. They are usually held when winter comes to Jiuzhaigou, lasting about two months.
During this time, a series of activities related to the beautiful Jiuzhaigou Valley are held successively, such as a photographic competition, ice sports, concerts and the Tibetan celebrations for Spring Festival.
The local Tibetans hold some celebrations during Chinese Spring Festival. The most important and largest one is the Mazi Fair held in Zharusi Temple, which is located in Shuzheng Valley. Held annually on May 15th of the Chinese lunar calendar, it is a vital religious event for Tibetans living in Jiuzhaigou.
-
Stay tight
The services in the park are designed to work around the tour groups. If you want to do things apart from the crowd, it is more difficult. You might go to the wrong place or at wrong time and end up getting nothing. So it's better to stay with you group.
-
Take something fun with you in case the plane will be late.
The airplanes out of Jiuzhaigou are always late. You need to transfer, so that means you will have more time to wait in the airport. Due to some reason, the planes tend to be late a lot. So it is wise if you take a PSP, or gameboy or whatever to help you kill time.
-
A useful book for you to buy
A tourist sketch map (3-5 Yuan), and the small book called 'A Complete Tour Guide of Jiuzhaigou, A world of Fairy Tales' (29.80 Yuan). It is the most informative book to make your trip easier.
-
Stay on the wooden plant roads if you plan to see everything in Jiuzhaigou.
Follow the wooden plank roads. When you follow the plank roads, you will see more of everything, and everything in this park is worth seeing.
Stay safe and Keep warm
The highest tourist destinations reach heights above 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) and altitude sickness is a possibility.
In the winter months the park is extremely cold and it is necessary to dress warmly to prevent frostbite.
