九寨沟景区
Jiuzhaigou Valley is a surreal landscape of turquoise lakes, waterfalls, and Tibetan culture in Sichuan, China—best visited in autumn for peak fall colors.
Take the first shuttle bus to Long Lake at 8:00 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy the mirror-like water in peace.\nSkip the Elephant Trunk Lake and instead walk the boardwalk from Pearl Shoal to Five Flower Lake for the most vivid colors and fewer people.\nBring your own picnic lunch—park food is overpriced and mediocre, and there are quiet spots near the shuttle stops to eat.
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (peak season: April 1 - November 15); 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (off-season: November 16 - March 31). Open daily.
CNY 169 entrance + CNY 90 shuttle = CNY 259 (about $37 USD)
