We have recently swim party 4 Jiuzhai Huanglong Songpan. OK so ago on the Internet to find information. But the overall feel that the information is too scattered, and for some answer to that question was too vague.
Based on our experience here, and get detailed information as possible to answer some frequently asked questions. Hope that such information will be helpful to everyone.
1. Self-tour security, inconvenient?
It should be said in this line of self-service tour is very easy. Facilities along the tourist traffic was reasonably healthy. Pre-done their homework, setting a good hotel. Bought tickets. In addition to the toilet and eat the rest do not have to deal with people of the Department. Of course, I assume that you are not Golden Week trips. Is not very picky or always depressed. Not old like to take advantage.
! Experience: Self-tour of the joy and simply can not be compared with the group.
2. How do the booking of hotel?
We had the Ctrip has found a tour guide in Chengdu (Sichuan Province, Shilin International Travel imdidadi@sina.com). Upon contact, she was very enthusiastic. Answers to our many problems. Way through her booked accommodation. Required to execute the contract on behalf of the booking. Money to one day in advance through travel agencies set out calls to hotels.
Lived in Jiuzhaigou Grand Hotel (0837-773-4163,773-4084). 200 yuan / room. 3 stars. Imports on the left in the park is characterized by 50 meters. The hotel belongs to Jiuzhaigou Valley Authority. Well placed. The strange thing is I have not seen in the Chinese website description. LONELY PLANET seen in the introduction. Attendants said it only 48 rooms. Mission based mainly reception work. No wonder did not see what the FIT and group tours.
Lived in the Huanglong Huanglong International Hotel (0837-723-3353,723-3366). 200 yuan / room. 3 stars. Yes Shilin introduction. Is characterized by the new. Conditions are good. Subject to take three (5 yuan / vehicle) or rental (10 Yuan / car) into the city. We are satisfied these two hotels. Clean, good service, hot water will do. Of course, I stayed in the hotel much. The view is not necessarily accurate.
3. Where is the Jiuzhaigou mouth? Should live where?
This answer is the most vague. I think that Mizoguchi is the park entrance to the road this paragraph. About 150 meters. Authority and the visitors service center here. LONELY PLANET introduced the more accurate. Here only the Grand Hotel and Jiuzhaigou Valley huts. Huts only 22 rooms. Near the road side in the Mizoguchi. Is also a Board-owned. 3 stars. Mizoguchi close to the way sheep Cave Hotel. Is a cheap hotel. But it looks good. I think the best live Grand Hotel. Kiya is required. Of course, going out to dinner. Mizoguchi only a few shops. Have to travel by rental (5 yuan / person) can find something great restaurants. The famous Jiuzhaigou Hotels in fact there are 5 kilometers away from Mizoguchi. International Hotel to go in another direction to go 2.5 kilometers. Common major online hotel were not in walking range.
4. The distance from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong?
Is about 450 kilometers from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou. It takes 10-11 hours. Via Songpan, Chuanzhusi. Chengdu - Songpan about 350 km. Songpan - Chuanzhusi 17 km. Chuanzhusi - Jiuzhaigou 88 kilometers. Huanglong by Chuanzhusi fork out. Chuanzhusi - Huanglong 42 km.
5. Our trip
2002.5. 27 aircraft to Chengdu.
The first impression is regulated taxi. Queuing outside to find car. The car hit the table. To +10 Xinancaitai 50 million high-speed toll fare. Very convenient.
! Experience: Ai Zai is often because you want to get petty. Honestly looking for the car's right front line children.
Sumitomo Court hostel living Xinancaitai foreign guests. 200 yuan / Standard Room. Environmental safety is also very good. (I only remember that inside the barber shop phone 028-8735-5505.)
Simon the station and then to buy tickets. 7:20 am a bus 77 yuan / person 8:40 a bus 92 yuan / person. Aba team are nine ring company. We chose the 8:40 class.
2002. 5.28 Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou car is sung. Capacity: 30 people. Basic filled. Most of the tourists. Driving Status in general. The road was also broken one back. Two drivers. Technology is also OK. Driving through the Dujiangyan Irrigation System will be on the mountain. Up and down along the Minjiang River, winding. Scenery very well. Bad road conditions. The average speed of 40-50 km. Night bus is not recommended.
At noon on a "designated" restaurant for dinner. Vegetables 6-8 yuan. Meat dish 10-15 yuan. I feel good. Only rudimentary toilet. Cold kick into gear look inside irrigation. Daoshi to taste.
Jiuzhaigou in approaching. Emergence of a Tibetan Camp. We are "Introduction" to this "King Gesar Camp" free "visit." 2 Tibetan young men and women a front and rear escort. Into the Sai Ying Pun would feel deliberately creating a "sacred" atmosphere. Nerves fragile facial skin is too thin, or Buddhism, would not help, people with dubious drilling trap.
! Note:
. Highland barley wine tasting glass is used in common. Clean and those who love the best escape.
. If you are fortunate to be selected to meet "living Buddha", "living Buddha" will ask you if you are willing to bring home a happy and well-being. Should answer a lot of homes have been happy and happy.
. If you are stingy, probably will see the shopping guide Miss / Mr ashen face. Had to pretend not to notice.
Fortunately, this is the only one along the way to visit. In fact, the Camp can be seen a lot of Tibetan handicrafts and production process. Down is also fresh. But do not like the convergence of money means.
At 8-9 points, vehicles are to Mizoguchi. If you do not have the booking of hotel, the driver will take you to their company's designated hotels. Alleged to be cheap. Morning, a car sent to Mizoguchi.
Mizoguchi, we get off, stay at Grand Hotel. Found a rental to take us to a nearby town for dinner. Mizoguchi distance is about 2.5 kilometers. Feeling quite expensive. Chibaohezu like.
2002.5. 29 - 30 trenches play two days. Evening out the ditch are still living Grand Hotel.
* How to Mai Menpiao?
Visitors Center at 8:30 am They began selling tickets. Early is better to go. Tickets for the first day of RMB 145 yuan +90 ticket. The next day +90 yuan 40 yuan tickets have also bought tickets.
In another counter Jiaoqian photo printed on the tickets. Day tickets are also about 40 yuan +90 yuan strike.
* Why should we swim for two days?
I hope we can try to go Plank Road. Walk station, stop-look. Through careful study, recognizing that such a run-one days is not enough. Facts prove that my arrangement is very scientific. With the primary mission of the unit to avoid the tourists and enjoy the beauty of nature alone. The first day on the morning drive straight to the end of the ditch. Jian Zhuhai immediately after alighting into the Plank Road. At this time, less tourists, Plank Road, only our own, really is extraordinary to enjoy. Full appreciation of limbs, facial features starting water lake breeze. Walked all the way down. Noon to Kongquehe. People began to be filed by. Should also eat. Then ride back to eating tree is chai (later mention). After dinner back to the Plank Road Kongquehe continue our tour. 15:00 more in Long Falls on the way to the Novo, was cut down. That is to clear the Plank Road. Tree is being rushed to the ditch line. Anyway cruelly tired. Little fun, we had a ditch.
! Experience: Park the day of admission according to the number of 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon, the top two ditch-ching. Tourists rushed to the tree is the groove. Determined according to the number last bus time.
The next morning drive straight to Chang-hai. Alighted from the vehicle along a path can be left down to the lake. Landscape Bel stick. Overlooking the snow-capped mountains, very characteristic. Where they sat for more than an hour. Fortunately, no one down. We all rented clothing riding a buffalo in the above photo. Robust. Of course, I have inevitably cliche, was a Tibetan elder sister wearing a back Quanzhe hat, riding on a back to cattle (5 million). Also stop there to help her cry for a while. I quite like them. Though all trying to persuade business, but still be able to feel their straightforward and honest.
Can walk from a long sea Wucaiche. And then ride back to the search wa Walled Novo Nichiro restaurant. Afternoon, return to the previous day, a place to stop and start a new tour of the Plank Road. Stop-go, nearly 6 points to finally reach the vicinity of lotus leaf chai. To catch up with the end of the 6:10 PM train.
Two days down, should walk nearly 20 kilometers of strike. Legs are painful in. In my heart I feel worth it. Thank God, every day, blue sky, white clouds, the sun was bright.
* This is a good season do?
I think in addition to a recognized late autumn, this time is the best season of the. Green is out. Water began to fullness of. Days are sunny, Ye Hao way to go. Students have not yet holiday visitors is relatively small. I estimate that 3-4 thousand people a day, 90% were with the group. 10% of the FIT in, probably with only 1 / 3 to go Plank Road. Therefore, also 1-2 on the Plank Road 100 person / day. This is the stage of socialist primary tourism situation. Quite a lot like a publicly funded tours.
* How not as the primary tourists? (My view)
Not with the group. Do not wear shirt and tie. Do not wear leather shoes / high heels. Not Eurya Shuo Liao Dai or sandwiched bags. Is not an umbrella. Not always playing mobile phone. Not always line up and stand in various spots, a photo brands.
* Where to eat at noon?
Walled tree is the first day went. Do not see decent restaurant. To inquire about a Tibetan young man, was diverted to the far left a small grocery store Tibetans eat a bowl of wonton (5 million). Is illegal. Poor condition.
The next day to the search wa Walled Novo Nichiro cafeteria. 25 yuan / person buffet. Less the same level and the general university canteen. But enough to eat.
* Ditch in the end be able to do to live?
This is one of the most confusing issue. I ran tree is dedicated VIP floor, inquire about Tibetan Village. My hosts young man said he could live. Took me to read the room. Asking price of 120 / room. Of course, look good. Later learned that the official will no longer allow Tibetans to open hotels and restaurants. Should be the bar for environmental considerations. Someone to check twice a month. Caught will be subject to heavy penalties. Groove of the Tibetans, large or small can receive compensation for 3,000 yuan / year. Rent clothes and at the designated locations Bai Taner is permitted.
* Looking for the car to the Huanglong Songpan Walled tree is the way the first day went to inquire whether there are cars to Huanglong Songpan. Was introduced into the stockade go the middle of a compound. Lobby layout is very luxurious. There are pictures of Li's visit.
Scala and beautiful hostess can say. Only later did I know that it is Zhaizhu home. Changhe home side with a small surface. Quite a new car. Just be able to pull 4 people + luggage. The owner's brother to drive. His name is Meng (MONGJI). Were very high spirit, is also very sincere readily. Talk given 350 yuan. On the third day early in the morning to hotel to meet us. MONGJI very good. To chartered hope that we can look for him. His cell phone is 13,618,146,357. He said that you can also ask him to send out the ditch in the ditch, if you want to stay late. Of course, you should pay. This disadvantage is horsepower car is too small, climbing is very difficult. However, if there is only such a vehicle.
* The evening performances are there to see?
