Jiuzhaigou Valley
Recommended Attractions: Five Flower Lake, Nuorilang Waterfall, Long Lake, Primeval Forest
Five Flower Lake shimmers with vivid blues and greens, its submerged ancient trees visible through crystal water. Nuorilang Waterfall, one of China’s broadest travertine falls, thunders across a 270‑meter span. Long Lake, the highest and deepest lake in the valley, mirrors surrounding snow‑capped mountains. The Primeval Forest offers a silent walk among moss‑draped firs and rare birds.
Special Activities: Tibetan home visit, photography walks at Shuzheng Valley, stargazing in the reserve
Join a Tibetan family for butter tea and barley pastry in a traditional village inside the park. Join a guided photography walk along Shuzheng Valley to capture mirror‑like ponds at sunrise. At night, far from city lights, the valley reveals a brilliant Milky Way—perfect for astrophotography.
Huanglong Scenic Area
Recommended Attractions: Huanglong Gully, Five‑Color Pond, Snow Treasure Peak
Huanglong’s travertine pools cascade down a 3.6‑km gully like golden scales. Five‑Color Pond contains over 600 stacked pools with hues from amber to jade. Snow Treasure Peak (5,588 m) dominates the background, offering a dramatic alpine view from the cable car station.
Special Activities: Eco‑trail hiking, praying at the rear‑hill temple
Follow the wooden eco‑trail that winds along the terraces without disturbing the fragile deposits. At the upper temple, spin Tibetan prayer wheels and tie a prayer flag for safe travels.
