This trip a total of 9 days (September 28, 2003 to 10-6 days), the main line some of my arrangements for those who wish to travel self-help.
Preparation
The idea is to produce to Jiuzhaigou in July of this year. As the holidays less, had to plan on the National Day Golden Week, and a few days in advance, staggered heights. Facts have proved that our decision is wise, when we September 29 to walk on Plank Road in Jiuzhaigou, almost do not see other people.
We have done a more adequate preparation. Is mainly the Internet to find relevant information. For example: Ctrip on the many travels gave me a lot of inspiration, let me have a blueprint for the entire trip; in Jiuzhaigou Travel Electronic Commerce Network (http://www.jiuzhaigouvalley.com) see a lot of tourist routes, self-help Tour line, is also available on-line booking Jiuzhaigou tickets (although, in fact to re-Mai Menpiao Jiuzhaigou in general can get).
Our initial plan is to visit Shanghai - Chengdu - miyaluo - Hongyuan - Jiuzhaigou, but considering the timing, put into a destination of Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, itinerary determined as follows:
September 28: Shanghai - Chengdu, while night car ride to Jiuzhaigou, in order to save time on the road one day
September 29: Jiuzhaigou Day
September 30: two into the groove
October 1: Jiuzhaigou - Huanglong - Songpan
October 2: Songpan - Chengdu
October 3: Back to Shanghai followed by booking airline tickets, hotels, tickets.
A relatively easy trip to the set to a five fold on the (720 yuan, rose to 7 folded after two days), but only seven fold return journey tickets (Ctrip on the information), we would like to wait a few days. Who knows suddenly risen to nine discount airline tickets (1290 yen) for the. After some calculations and found that from Mianyang cheaper to get back to Shanghai (9 discount ticket was 1080 yuan, together with Chengdu - Mianyang's bus ticket, less than 1200), we booked a return ticket from Mianyang.
Guesthouses, several hotels on the Internet to find the phone, through the contact set 180 dollars a day at the Chinese University of tong hotel for two days in September 29,30.
Jiuzhaigou's tickets, the second into the ditch, as well as a day ticket voting is set online, direct online payment, it is convenient (Ticket 145 yuan / person, the second into the ditch ticket 40 yuan / person, the first day of ticket 90 yuan / person).
Not sure is from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong Jiuzhaigou to the ticket. But the phone after being told that they should no problem.
Our trip plan to September 20 has changed. Two colleagues in Chengdu from a business trip showed us a few pictures of Siguniangshan, we also had to go Siguniangshan germination of the idea of, so then check the information online and decided to October 3 after the trip adjusted as follows:
October 3: Chengdu - day long, You Shuangqiao Gou
October 4: Yu Chang Ping Gou
October 5: Japanese Long - Chengdu
October 6: Chengdu - Shanghai, if 1 can be arrived at after the swim Huanglong Maoxian, we will be able to from 2 to day-long, you can play more than a day Siguniangshan.
We are back from the Mianyang return air tickets, lost 5% handling fee. The lowest air ticket back to Shanghai, Chengdu, only 9 fold, but the local agents in Chengdu told us that there may be 6-7 fold, let us wait. It was not until before departure, still do not see lower prices, so we decided to take a risk - to Chengdu and then buy a ticket.
The last one is to leave preparations. The exception did not expect a smooth leave, the boss is very refreshing to grant me three days leave in September 28-30.
Prior to departure, evening, online experience Shi Mei. Shi Mei asked me disagreement over where to play, I answered to Jiuzhaigou. She told me that one of her classmates (mm, surnamed Ding) also go there, his itinerary as if with us about. She introduced us know, I asked Ding trip. She is also 28, to Chengdu, then 29, with local travel agents to Jiuzhaigou, 30-day tour Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong 1, go to that evening arrived at Maoxian, 2 returned to Chengdu. And her peers is her colleague, also a mm, surname skin. They want to go half-way from the mission Siguniangshan. I asked if she could take them to travel by car from the Huanglong to Mao County, then we will be able to go Siguniangshan of. She said the time for me to ask to see.
D1. Go to Jiuzhaigou
September 28, we started a 9-day journey.
10:30 am Eastern Airlines flight to Chengdu, but not until 11:30 the aircraft before take-off delayed for an hour. In Hongqiao airport, I was asking around about there ticket from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou, whether or Air China, Sichuan Airlines said finding out flight information.
1 to Chengdu, immediately called the chadianzi station, was told that the day of night remaining tickets to one of Jiuzhaigou. Tatema rushed to the Air ticket window to ask ticket situation. 7 pm the same day and only one more vote, and 9:50 also. 9:50 helpless we can only buy a ticket, the full price of 410 yuan a. Returned to Shanghai, almost all full price tickets, only the Air China Flight 915 had a 9 fold. It appears that there is no hope of lower prices, and only bought a full price (1430 yuan), a Jiu Zhe's (1290 million).
Sent a package at the airport, take airport bus to the urban area, fight to the Temple of Marquis (tickets 30 yuan / person) looked at. In the taxi on the Columbia and will chat and learned that a number of snacks information. Ding contact us and the Temple of Marquis reading a bit, to their quarters round, went together to the Yongfeng bridge Huangchenglaoma eat hotpot, a good environment and four people spent a total of 338 yuan in Chengdu people seem more expensive , but we feel pretty good.
Fond, we have this difference. They return to shelter, waiting for the next day hair group; we are at the airport, waiting for the day of the last flight to Jiuzhaigou.
The aircraft landed at 10:40 of the Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Airport Chuanzhusi, walked down the ramp, immediately felt cold slightest intention. Because it is the first day of flights, the airport was also inundated with banners, balloons and other items. Out of the terminal, each also gave a bag of gifts, built an Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Airport Construction of an album to commemorate airport has opened a red hat (because it was really no place to install these highly memorable gift, two bags of things that were later We threw in a hotel room).
The airport to Jiuzhaigou, Chuanzhusi, Huanglong and other places of the bus to Jiuzhaigou is 45 yuan a person. Ms. says it will guide the vehicle to take us to the hotel, about to be opened 2 hours. 11:10 or so, buses started. The way of the mountain, bend a lot, plus just the plane down, suddenly has an elevation of 3,000 meters where a lot of people have altitude sickness on board and began vomiting. Just issued by the bag came in handy this time ... ... the car was filled with weird taste. 1 point, and finally to the Jiuzhaigou Valley, but fortunately, we are not set far-tong in the car stopped, the guide told us that the slope is. Because there is no light, the hotel's neon lights were shut, Tang Zhongshan University Hotel is located in more inside, and we spent about 20 minutes to find.
Wait until all of our finishing Ting Dang, faster 2:00 a. Because there is no hot water, only to get up early the next day and then had a bath.
D2. D3. Fugue in Wonderland
September 29, 5:30 got up, wash, eat breakfast. 7:00 Chutou came Mizoguchi, there are already so many people there, and most of all travel agencies.
To produce my documents and orders, quickly got tickets, tickets, and took digital photos, printed on the secondary ticket into the ditch.
Into the ditch, take sightseeing car extended tree is ditch, Japan and the ditch to the virgin forest. Car, tour guides told us about scenery along the way, gave us a preliminary understanding of Jiuzhaigou. Along the way, we have been fascinated by the exotic colors.
Car arrived in virgin forest, around the Plank Road walked in the forest, after the walk down along the Plank Road, a stroll on the ditch. At this time, most people go by car down, so large in others, almost invisible. Passing sword rocks, hanging spring, Caohai, swans sea, took a few photos, car down to the Jian Zhuhai, Xiong Maohai. Followed by Wu Huahai, since this is a relatively well-known attractions, people are more naturally. As the viewing platform at the Plank Road at the top, we are up along the Plank Road successive steps so that we breathe is not in the past years, while the Wu Huahai the whole picture is gradually displayed on the front. Wait a viewing platform, Wu Huahai exotic colors attracted our eye. As many tourists do, at the viewing platform, after lingering for a while, we again walked down the Plank Road, close contact with Wu Huahai. Then it discovered that Wu Huahai much less near the bird's eye view the whole picture. Continue to walk Plank Road, has been passed Pearl Beach, met with a tour group, so with the rub behind their guides.
From the Plank Road out of the car down to Connaught Nichiro Central Station for lunch, this time around 2 pm. 25 yuan per person buffet, there is no features, only be regarded as a more formal meal lunch.
After lunch, ride to the extension of the Java trench long hollow sea, road trying to fix gray great. Despite the long-Sea is one of the biggest Haizi Jiuzhaigou, but it is not great viewing areas. A car were all flocked to the sea after a long, also feel a bit crowded. Took a few long sea panorama, the crowd will immediately walk to Wucaiche. Similarly, the Wucaiche Colorful, but not be as a commanding Wu Huahai viewing platform. We had to follow the crowd, they must attack first color photo is like a pool of images.
Then the low-lying ditch attractions of this residue is not more after the car back to finish Wucaiche Snow Day Long and watch Novo Nichiro Falls - the biggest one Jiuzhaigou, also believed to span the largest waterfall in China.
Snow Day Long Falls After reading the report, and time is almost, select Zuoche Hui Mizoguchi. Cars are increasingly crowded, everyone rush out the ditch at this time. Once again, we saw tree is along the groove of the scenery, thinking, kept trained on the road a few spots to watch, then have to go at large in number.
Out of ditch after Mizoguchi asked about the line to go after the Dragon, would perhaps a car to take us to the town. Haggis dinner ate hot pot, roasted a leg of mutton, spent 96.
Heat blisters on their feet at night in preparation for the next day walking groove.
Secondary Progressive groove
September 30, or get up early, straight after breakfast Jiuzhaigou passenger transportation center, bought two tickets to the Huanglong, 40 yuan each, and selling of votes to say the next day we can live in places and so on, do not arrive at the terminal early in the morning , so that we can rest 8 yuan for taxi fares. Because the selection of the aircraft to Jiuzhaigou, over budget, cash not enough, on the way in Mizoguchi took some money.
Because it did not buy the next day tourist ticket, into the ditch, the only walk down the Plank Road. First went to turn full circle bundle such as the Temple, and then walked nearly 5 kilometers to the Bonsai Beach. According to the previous day's observation, from the beaches to the bonsai tree is a waterfall should be walking, so the basic is to go at large in the day and enjoy a lot of car can not see the scenery. For example, after the sea came a period of at large in Ssangyong repair the surface of the water in the waterfall, from this high point you can see the sea Ssangyong picture, while at the same horizontal plane to see a spark of the sea; in highway terms spark reflection of the sea, watching reed sea blue inlaid with jade belt to see if tree is base ... the sea ...
Noon in the tree is Walled bought some souvenirs, and, like thieves in the Tibetan restaurants like eating lunch (according to the provisions of the trench can not open restaurants and hotels). The afternoon peak in order to avoid a ditch, we are out early in the groove of.
At night in the town to eat dinner. Because it felt a little bit cold at the same time it began to rain, and we bought two pieces of clothing in case the next day Huanglong low temperatures, another to the Siguniangshan can also be used.
D4. Crowded Huang
October 1 National Day. Down the one night of rain, cold a lot. After breakfast, watching the rain outside, the decision will fight to the passenger transportation center, or stand on a certain road vehicles upper cold, but will also be wet.
On the bus to go to Huanglong and found Driving Status poor. Many passengers on board trains and leakage problem is to negotiate with management. Fortunately, we compare front seats, and the top there is no sign of leakage. Scheduled for 7:10 start, until it slowly starts at 7:30, we had to feel more in the rain waiting for a train.
Sat in the car, I have come up with "Chinese National Geography" Send studied the maps of Sichuan. Aisle side of a passenger asked me to lend her to see whether the map. She looked very familiar, right, as for a while, actually is my primary school classmates. She is also the night of 28 up to Jiuzhaigou, two days later, exhausted to swim Huanglong Songpan horse riding. Sadly, the Earth small.
Opened not far, the rain would smaller. Hill side of the road under the leaves in the night rain, red a lot, truly beautiful. The sun came out, the air is also filled with water vapor, so that lai rainbow appeared in the roadside scene.
Another disc mountain. Growing on the mountain mist, can break through this layer of fog, the sun also pierce straight into the eyes. Finally 12:30 to Huanglong.
Already know the basic situation of Huanglong, according to other people's travels around 3:00 to Wucaiche. Along the way were very many frail and older people there are also many sit Pole's. The way, we have once again joined the Ding. She told us that already have discussed the tour guide, it may allow us to ride.
4:00 Dragon around the end of the run-length, I am going to ding to their car before, and tour guides to discuss, that lady is pretty good, agreed to let us ride by. Of course, in order to show their appreciation, we are prepared to give them some car money, but the tour guide said no do not say to the driver to buy two packs of cigarettes on the list. Then this tour, "visiting Yak wine and meat processing plants," the opportunity, we sent some Yak wine and meat to the driver and tour guides.
10 more years to Maoxian, tour guides and Miss also help us to consult with the guest houses, who gave us a cheaper price (120 million).
D5. Chushi 4 Girls
October 2. At 5 am we got up, and get on to Chengdu, car, less than a 8:00 to Yingxiu. Because it is Golden Week, to Xiao Jin's passing cars all over, and can only be chartered. The four of us plus one to Wolong, and a total of 260 yuan, we have a 240.
When the car rolled into Balang Shan, the was again enveloped in fog. Driver said, basically the side of Ba Langshan perennial fog, etc. to go around just fine. Sure enough, when we are piercing the clouds, bathing in the sun, the beauty in front of us had to ask the driver to stop so that we take pictures.
Did not come before they are heard Balang Shan's insurance, everywhere along the mountain falling rubble. Is more severe deformation of a car roof, it is estimated is a large rock fell to the; there by half a car on the road, the general vacated the driver said the car did not turn down be lucky.
Quickly to the Yakou, elevation 4,500, many people in the photographs. After a Yakou is Xiaojin County, away from the Siguniangshan nearer. Open to a place called the cat nose, the driver told us in front of the opposite is the Siguniangshan. There is a platform, passers-by stop taking pictures one after another. Unfortunately, we can only see the Beautiful Lady peak and two girls-feng, youngest, the fourth of hiding in the clouds to do.
And then going forward a little, they entered the Japanese Long Zhen. Unlike many hotels here, as Jiuzhaigou, a few good to be a little more than 400. Prepared to stay here three nights We obviously can not afford. A local driver (Chinese name is Xu) is willing to help us find a place to live, I also know he intended to let us take a few days later in his car.
With great difficulty to find a small hotel, a Tibetan, 150 a night, pretty makeshift bar. Of course, then we naturally do Zhang master car. To any one attraction, is 10 yuan per person.
Casual eat something, we went to Shuangqiao Gou. 40 yuan plus 60 yuan tickets for the sightseeing tickets. As many sites are in the car to see, while the walk is obviously far too small a place can get on and off, so what Shuangqiao Gou did not leave a good feeling. Shuang Qiaogou whole car because of the emergence of tourism is also a run-length is much shorter, one afternoon, is sufficient.
Shuang Qiaogou come back, we figured the back of a two-day trip. One day to Chang Ping Gou, after introduction, the other day ready to go folder Jinshan - Red Army's first snow came. And Zhang master to discuss his asking price 350 yuan, to say what is the price of gold weeks. We naturally do not believe the side asked around and found about 250 or so. During this period also approached us, are willing to pull us to 250 yuan. After a counter-offer or choose to master Chang, 240 yuan win.
Dinner that day in the place we live to eat dinner. Kaoquan Yang wanted to, but because only four of us, uneconomical.
D6. Walking Chang Ping Gou
October 3. 5 yuan per person at breakfast, feeling very much worth, and then traveled to Chang Ping Gou had.
The driver drove us to the lamasery near the way, saw the sun peaks in the two girls and three girls beautiful peaks, then asked to stop took a few photos. There could have been opened directly, but because the Zhou people are more gold in there is about 50 meters away from the lamasery was stopped by. Lamasery is just a relic, leaving only a Duanqiangcanyuan has been completely without the shadow of the monastery. After a lamasery is the Plank Road entrance, at the same time, there are many where the recruitment of groom guests. Along the Plank Road, we started more than nine hours of walking, looked at my watch, 7:45 or so.
Plank Road where much worse than the Jiuzhaigou, no scenery along the way also. Plank Road about 5 km, went No. 1 scenic spots - withered beach. Then there would be no large in, and with the horses to go the same way. How did not rain before then, so Ma Road is not very muddy, so it is easier to go. There are also some chaos gravel roads, creeks or something, a little more difficult to walk. In addition to the arduous journey, easily sprained foot outside, no more than what to say. Personally feel that the scenery along the way is also a general. Daoshi encountered a lot of returns, and estimated the day before into the ditch, camping inside. There are also many riding horses and pack a lot of things, not ready to go camping, that is ready to cross the Chang Ping Gou's.
12 points or so, we have come to the wooden mule, Chong said the best landscape in the office. However, we see how good I can not see past. Have been hungry, and they sat down in situ, supplementary food, and rest. Here, they told us to go back, and then drive a 10-minute walk is the scenery nice place. After listening to their words, we have some depth, suddenly suddenly see the light. Have before us is a small prairie, far from the snow-capped mountains on the left is the river, the right is the four girls peak. Girl standing four peaks at the foot of admiration Dunsheng. The original landscape is not the best place to place brand lengthwise wooden mule, if Kishi is not a firm will be impossible to come here any more.
Rest for a moment, about 1:30, we got up to go back. Although people have been very tired along the way, many grooms came up asking if we would ride, but we have been rejected. Is still walking and rest along the way without words, 5 o'clock we returned to the lamasery. Have been a lot of people waiting here, ready to shoot the sunset when the peak of the four girls. We also scrape together fun, but not happy to wait, they took a few casual.
Dinner, I took the test a rabbit, plus some other vegetables, 120. Then think about it, and uneconomical. In addition, the owner helped us make accommodation booked a ticket back to Chengdu, 60 yuan / person.
D7. Re-take Red Road
October 4. According to the original plan, which go to clip Jinshan days. Clip Jinshan tickets 10 yuan, cars can go all the way open. Gimhae neutrons passing through folders, calm lake silhouetted the mountain, tree, cloud, very beautiful. Beyond that, there is the Red Army and other attractions floor. Cars along the mountain road up, with the increase in altitude, variable heavy fog, until the summit, visibility is only a few meters. The Peak has several wooden huts, with the Tibetans inside business. Peak is due to cold water mist formed on the eaves of huts to form ice. Tibetan people's business is pretty good, but we are anger in recent days to eat heavy food, right there, pretty good taste of the roast mutton.
It is said that scattered fog, etc., and have a good landscape. But our bad luck, and so on for a very long time never see fog retreated, and only gave up.
Folder Jinshan is in fact not snow-capped mountains, but when the Red Army, the mountains of snow just yet.
All the way down the mountain, once again saw the mist of the rainbow. And other folders again to Gimhae neutrons has been sparkling calm lake is also very charming. We get off, walk along the lake for a while. In addition to folders, etc. Jinshan area, we request the driver to drive to Red Armies bridge. It was here that the Red Army - David Township joined forces to.
Afternoon, returned it to rest a back away from the town killing time, a colleague bought some gifts, ate dinner. Back to the residence, the owner told us the next day start time, the car received the money. 21:00 and more it began to rain, and then became snow.
So far, the trip also ended Siguniangshan our pocket money running low. There Siguniangshan a bank, but there is no ATM machines, very inconvenient.
D8, D9. Crossing the snow-capped mountains, home
October 5. Get up early and found out one had been white.
Go on the road and found that abnormal traffic congestion, and Shanghai during the peak period road congestion situation is no different, since almost the time to return, people are leaving at this time, combined with last night's rain and snow, traffic has been declining. Came to an appointment in place of cars stood in the cold in, but our car will not come immediately.
Finally, our car came, and the above have been sitting a lot of people, leaving only the last row of seats. Fortunately, not to make us stand all the way back to Chengdu.
Car climbed Balang Shan, the original green hillsides, has become white. The passengers are all surprised, have taken out the camera take pictures, did not ask the driver to stop. In our repeated requests, the driver stopped the two vehicles, let us take pictures of the snow had really addicted. The first snow, magnificent scenery left a deep image.
Etc. After a Yakou, the whole landscape changed, there is no snow, this is a mountain scene. Although there is no snow on the road, but last night certainly did some more on-street branches have been a lot of snow to the discount.
Along the way are the gloomy days, until the afternoon before to Chengdu.
Found on the set in advance Ctrip Hotel, Babao Grand Hotel, newly renovated, and quite good.
Twisted my night to the city center, but also took some money, otherwise, have no money to fight the next car to the airport.
Early morning of October 6, grooming has been completed, we will leave the hotel Ganben the airport. The 915 Air China flights are international flights, the ending point is in Fukuoka, Japan, through Shanghai Pudong. Quasi-point aircraft took off, and finally returned to Shanghai.
In this connection, 9-day trip will end.
Tips:
1, the preparatory work is still full of some, to look at other people's travels, or useful.
2, air tickets booking, or early as possible, in the Golden Week this time to see that there are six fold seven fold, and on the start with it, do not greedy.
3, I sat N times the aircraft, and the event of delays and not because of force majeure, are China Eastern, and Eastern Airlines meals is bad, and if possible, or not to vote for China Eastern's flights.
4, if it is low season, fly to Jiuzhaigou is still a good choice, tickets can be discounted, saving time, the road has not so hard. However, best solo, because the scenery along the way can still take a look, especially Jiuzhaigou - Chuanzhusi - Huanglong section.
5, Jiuzhaigou is best self-tours, most visitors are with the group, and in the trench only one day, thereby allowing more choice of car and can not appreciate the essence of groove. The next day into the groove also do not have to buy a ticket, physical, and time is allowed to walk. As long as a reasonable stagger the height of the Golden Week, the trench does not seem crowded. Two days we have only encountered in some hot spots more people. A large number of tourists during the evening focused on the tree is ready to ditch the return of more crowded tourist vehicles, so if there are two days, but also a ditch to avoid the peak passenger flow.
6, Jiuzhaigou travel tickets available online e-commerce statistics that, according to I have to incomplete statistics, in September 28,29,30 and October 1 on a less visited a few days, for example, I entered groove 29,30 2 days, visitors only 4,000 or so, to be little more than a few days before and after.
7, Jiuzhaigou accommodation need not worry too much demand is not very high, then he might be able to find a place to live. Trench should still be able to live people, and I have contacted one, but did not go because the trip is finally live, telephone number is 13,990,421,356.
8, the first trip to Jiuzhaigou, I suggest to spend two days in the ditch, or a day can only be cursory.
9, Japan and the groove from the forests to the sea section of the Swan, Jian Zhuhai section of the Pearl Beach is worth a walk, if there is time, can continue to go down to the sea mirror.
10 Bonsai tree is from the beach to the tree is ditch Walled must go again, otherwise they will miss a lot of scenery.
11, groove part of the Tibetans more bad, where to buy things they do Bieji Zhao pay for things that will make double-check again that there are no quality problems and then to pay, otherwise they will not give you return to.
12, personally feel should be in Jiuzhaigou Huanglong in front. Itinerary is as follows: early morning flight from Chengdu Chuanzhusi, then go to Huanglong, about 4 points can come from the Yellow Dragon, and then went to Jiuzhaigou, the next day into the ditch.
13, the Tibetans will be chaos Siguniangshan asking price, we must counter-offer. Inquire about the price of a good or less in advance is essential.
14, Siguniangshan there is no place to collect the money must be ready enough cash.
