Due to the local geographical environment and climatic conditions, the best time for tourism in Aba is summer and autumn, that is, from June to 10 every year. The comprehensive effects of climate, man-made, history, customs and other factors make some important tourism festivals and ethnic festivals in Aba Prefecture concentrated in summer and autumn, such as the International Panda Festival in September every year, the Jiarong Tibetan Flower Festival from June to September, and so on.
Jiuzhaigou Huanglong, located in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Region, Sichuan Province, is the first batch of national key scenic spots announced by China. In 1990, Jiuzhaigou was listed as one of the top 40 tourist attractions in China; in 199 1 year, it was listed in the United Nations World Scenic List; in 1992, it was approved by UNESCO and officially listed in the World Natural Heritage List. Since then, it has become the throne of world tourism and a Chinese and foreign tourist.
Named after nine Tibetan villages distributed in the ditch, it is 2000 ~ 3000 meters above sea level. It belongs to the carbonate weir landform of high mountains and deep valleys. It is famous at home and abroad for its five wonders: Cuihai (alpine lake), overlapping sea, colorful forest, snow-capped mountain and Tibetan love, and is known as the land of dreams and the world of fairy tales. Changsha, the main scenic spot, covers more than 60,000 hectares, with six landscapes: Changhai, Jianyan, Nuorilang, Shuzheng, Zharu and Black Sea, which are distributed in a Y shape and have the most beautiful waterscape. Springs, waterfalls, rivers and beaches are connected 108 Haizi is blue, clear and colorful, and water flows among trees.
Jiuzhaigou is mainly composed of Rizegou, Zechawa and Shuzheng Valley which are zigzag distributed in Minshan Mountains. The main scenic spots in Jiuzhaigou are located in Shuzheng, Rize and Zechawagou, which can be divided into Shuzheng Scenic Area, Rize Scenic Area, Changhai Scenic Area, Baojing Cliff Scenic Area and Primitive Forest Ecological Scenic Area.
1. Shuzheng Scenic Area: It consists of Huohuahai, Wolong Sea, Shuzheng Qunhai and Rhinoceros Lake in the upper section of Shuzheng Valley.
Shuzheng Group Sea Scenic Area is the gateway to the beautiful scenery of Jiuzhaigou. The trench of Shuzheng Group is 13.8km long, and there are more than 40 lakes (Haizi), accounting for about 40% of all lakes in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. More than 40 lakes, like more than 40 glittering mirrors, extend five or six kilometers along the ditch. The water is beautiful, the blue waves are rippling, the birds are singing and the reeds are swaying. Bonsai Sea, Reed Sea, Flame Sea, Wolong Sea, Shuzheng Waterfall and Tiger Sea are all amazing, with beautiful scenery and clear waters.
The most amazing thing is the Crystal Palace at the bottom of Shuzheng Formation Sea: 1,000 mu of water, with a depth of 40 to 50 meters, overlooking the vast water surface and looking at it closely. About ten meters from the water surface, there is a milky yellow calcium carbonate bank in the middle of the lake, like a long dragon across the bottom of the lake. The mountain wind swept across the lake, rippling water waves and watching Wolong curl and creep; The wind chased the waves, and the dragon seemed to be shaking its head and tail, ready to come out.
Huohuahai
Huohuahai is 2 187 meters above sea level and 9 meters deep. It is located between Shuanglong Sea and Wolong Sea, and the blue sea is as level as a mirror. Haizi is surrounded by forests, and the lake is hidden in thick green, like a glittering and translucent jade.
Whenever the morning mist clears and the morning light appears, the lake seems to have sparks burning, jumping and flashing because of the refraction of sunlight. Therefore, it was named Huohuahai.
Haizi, hidden in the green, is like a glittering jade plate, full of gorgeous gold and silver jewelry. In summer, the seaside wildflowers are in full bloom, clusters of colorful flowers with dewdrops, crystal clear and sparkling, which set each other off with the sparks in the sea and have endless charm.
Wolong Sea
Wolong Sea, which is small and exquisite, is a typical representative of the blue lake, and the extremely thick blue is refreshing. The lake is quiet and peaceful, like a smooth sapphire.
There is a layer of milky calcium carbonate precipitation at the bottom of Wolong, which looks like a dragon lying in the water. According to legend, in ancient times, the black dragon of the nearby Heishui River asked Jiuzhai people to sacrifice for 99 days every year before there was precipitation. Bailongjiang sympathized with the people and wanted to send Bailongjiang water to Jiuzhai, but it was stopped by the Black Dragon. Two dragons fought, the white dragon sank into the lake, and the God of Wanshan came to surrender the black dragon. But Bailong can never return to Bailong River. It will become a Huanglong lying at the bottom of the lake for a long time. People miss it and call this sea Wolong Sea.
Xiniuhu
Rhino Lake is about 2km long, with a water depth of18m and an altitude of 2,400m. It is the largest Haizi in Shuzheng Valley. At the southern end of Rhinoceros Lake, there is a trestle across the other side.
Rhino Lake is one of the most changed Haizi in Jiuzhaigou, and its reflection is almost the highest in all the seas. Every morning, when the fog disappears, the reflection of the cloud is illusory and real, which makes people unable to tell where the sky is and where the sea is. The colorful leaves around the lakeshore are also bright and colorful.
Rhino Lake has a vast water area. At the end of the north shore, reeds are flourishing and business is booming. At the south bank exit, there are both Woods and silver waterfalls. In the middle, there is a big blue lake. This landscape of rhinoceros lake can make tourists linger.
Legend has it that in ancient times, an old Tibetan Lama who was seriously ill and dying came here on a rhinoceros. When he drank the lake here, his illness miraculously recovered. At that time, the old Lama drank in this lake day and night, reluctant to go, and finally rode a rhinoceros into the sea and settled here permanently. This Haizi is called Rhinoceros Lake.
ssangyong sea
Shuanglong Sea is above the Reed Sea and below the Flame Sea Waterfall. Through the crystal-clear sea water, we can see two banded biological reefs lurking on the seabed, just like two dragons hiding in the sea, crawling, waiting for the wind, ready to fly into the sky at any time.
Perhaps because of the conversion of Xiaolong and the tranquility in the sea, there are many beautiful swans and affectionate mandarin ducks staying here. If you are lucky, you can enjoy the sight of wild ducks swimming and swans flying here, which will make you more interested.
Shu Zheng qun hai
Shuzheng Group Sea is a terrace group composed of twenty or thirty large and small Haizi, with a height difference of nearly 100 meters. Green trees such as cypress, pine and fir are densely distributed around the lake. The lake crossed the bank from the upstream, flowed through the trees, and fell into the next layer of the sea to form a cascade waterfall, which stirred up silver waves and went straight to the downstream noisily. This series of waterfalls and rapids string together all the Haizi in the sea, moving and static. The sea is not only high and low, but also bright colors. The trees are green, the blue sea is thick, and the waterfall is light, especially the green with blue is the most touching.
Shuzheng waterfall
Shuzheng Waterfall consists of many stepped lake waterfalls connected end to end. The water is fierce and the waterfalls are connected. The waterfall fell into a deep ditch, like a thousand troops beating drums and roaring like thunder. By the terraced lake, there stand various shrubs unique to the plateau, which take root at the bottom of the water and stand proudly in the rapids. They bear the impact of running water all the year round without lodging or rotting their roots, forming a special plant community and a rare natural wonder in the world: clear water passes through the jungle, overflows the embankment and falls into layers of waterfalls, like broken jade and flying flowers! There are clusters of seabuckthorn on the beach, and their main roots are deeply rooted in the cracks of carbonate rocks, but there are many red fibrous roots more than one meter long, which are combed together by running water, just like a red ponytail; Red fibrous roots sway with the waves, floating up and down, looking like red agate flowing in transparent jasper, looking up at the sky, clouds and wind, and there are large areas of buckwheat flowers on the shore, scattered Tibetan houses, cattle and sheep who leave early and return late, curling smoke, barking trees and waterfalls, which seem deep, quiet and idyllic, but full of vitality.
2. Rize Scenic Area: It is composed of Nuorilang Waterfall, Nuorilang Group Sea, Jinghai, Pearl Beach, Wuhai Sea, Panda Waterfall, Panda Sea and Arrow Bamboo Sea at the lower part of Rize Valley, and is the essence of Jiuzhaigou scenery.
Jinghai
Leaving Pearl Beach and descending along the highway around the mountain is a vast valley. The valley is empty and overgrown with vegetation, and a wisp of clear spring slips through the middle, filling the mirror sea downstream. There are several houses by the river, such as Xanadu. On both sides of the valley are majestic and tall peaks. Autumn has come, and the autumn colors are dyed in the forest, as if there is a brush in the shrine, which is randomly painted with crimson, pink, deep purple, dark green, emerald green and goose yellow on the mountain.
The sea of tranquility is near the lower reaches of the empty valley. The lake is long and narrow, about one kilometer long and surrounded by trees. On the other side, the mountain wall looks like a huge stone screen, and on the right is the lower reaches of Jinghai. Adjacent to the Nuorilang Group Sea; On the left is the upper reaches of Jinghai, which is connected with Jinghai Valley. The reflection of Jinghai dominates Jiuzhai. It is like a mirror, copying the scenery on the water surface to the water surface without distortion. Visitors to Jiuzhaigou are surprised by the vivid reflection of the mirror sea.
Jinlinghai
Jinling Sea is 2435 meters above sea level, with one big and one small adjacent, so it is named after the shape of two bells. Overlooking the golden bell sea, the lake is indigo blue, which is particularly eye-catching on you. The lake shore is densely shaded, and the scenery is particularly beautiful, which sets off a pair of lakes like two bells more exquisitely, making people not bump or crisp.
Wuhai sea
Wuhuahai, with the reputation of Jiuzhaigou as a must and the essence of Jiuzhai, is located at the upstream end of Peacock River in Rizegou.
Along the plank road of the secluded forest, all the way downhill, through the secluded forest, you will soon reach the sea of flowers. Bypassing the west side of Wuhuahai Sea, there is a plank road which is an excellent place to enjoy autumn scenery. Visitors can stay here. Continue northbound along the plank road and reach the north bank of Wuhua Sea. Go out of the secluded forest, turn right along the plank road, go east along the north bank of Wuhuahai, cross an empty and gentle hillside, and soon reach the end of the plank road. This is the intersection of the Wuhuahai exit and Peacock River, with trestle bridge built on it. The lake on the south side of the trestle looks like peacock wings; On the north side of the trestle, the river bend is like a peacock's head and neck, and three ancient trees are like flowers. So it's called Peacock River from here. Go north along the left bank of Peacock River 100 meters, cross the river and get on the highway around the mountain. Overlooking the Five Flowers Sea from this section of the road, the scenery is even more amazing. Walking southeast along the highway around the mountain, I called the highest point on the southeast side of Wuhuahai. There is a huge stone called Tiger Stone here. Looking down from the tiger stone, you can observe the whole picture of the five seas of flowers.
Jianzhuhu
Jianzhuhai is 2618m above sea level and 6m deep, covering an area of 654,380+0.7 million square meters. By the lake, the arrow bamboo is green and the Chinese fir stands upright. The mountain is facing the water, and the bamboo shadow is swaying. Despite the severe winter, a lake is still sparkling and full of vitality.
Arrow bamboo is the favorite food of giant pandas, and it grows widely along the coast of arrow bamboo sea, which is the biggest feature of arrow bamboo sea, hence its name. The lake in the Arrow Bamboo Sea is open and long, and the water is blue. The reflection is so vivid that people can't tell whether the mountain is in the water or flooded.
panda sea
The Panda Sea is 2587 meters above sea level and 14 meters deep, not far from the downhill of the Arrow Bamboo Sea. Giant pandas are regarded as auspicious things and are deeply loved by Tibetans in Jiuzhaigou. It is said that the giant pandas in Jiuzhaigou like to wander here, drink water and feed, so this sea is called the Cat Sea.
Panda Sea has clear water and clear reflection, similar to Arrow Bamboo Sea. Especially on sunny days, the blue sky and white clouds on the lake, the layered forests on the shore are intertwined, and the peaks on the lake stand still and are reflected in the water, which is a confusing scene.
The rock wall near the lake has a strange texture, which is reflected in the lake. Naturally, there are several circles of round white stones shaped like pandas, and there are black patterns under the water beside the lake, which set each other off.
Pearl beach
Pearl Beach Waterfall is 200 meters wide with a maximum drop of 40 meters, which is extraordinary and magnificent. The waterfall rushed into the bottom of the valley, roared like thunder, rolled up thousands of waves and ran eastward. The water color of this torrent is crimson white, which is the most beautiful, fierce and loud section of all rapids in Jiuzhaigou. The plank road on the left side of the torrent is the best place to watch this jasper torrent.
Step on the plank road, with the rapids, continue eastward and reach the east side of Pearl Beach. The slope of the inclined beach here is bigger, the beach surface is more uneven, the rapids jump and the scene is more spectacular.
If you come to Nuorilang Waterfall, you will be close to the center of Jiuzhaigou's beautiful scenery.
Nuorilang Group Hai
Nuorilang Waterfall welcomes guests in the most spectacular and warm way. When you are still looking around and lingering on the winding mountain road, Nuorilang in front is already beating the sound of the waves, scattering water mist, setting up a rainbow and warmly welcoming guests from afar. Oh! The rolling waterfall, which is more than 20 meters high and 300 meters wide, jumps over the calcified bank at an altitude of 2365 meters and flies down. Thousands of water droplets are woven into a wide screen, and no matter where you come from, they are presented to you.
Looking at it from another angle, Nori Jean is equally touching!
In spring, the snow melts, the hard ice erodes, the clear snow melts and the ice hangs down, and the spring lyre is played first.
In summer, the spring is full, the streams are soaring, and the rivers in Tao Tao are rushing. They rush out from crevices, trees, ditches and forest boards, accumulate the vitality of the whole body and beat the drums of life.
In the autumn, the mountains are clear and the water is clear, the light frost begins to fall, the layers of forests are completely dyed, and the colorful running water stretches the body and swims freely, so that the fallen leaves of red maple leaves, linden leaves, deep orange cotton leaves and deep red Sophora leaves floating in the water vortex do not flow away.
In the severe winter, when everything is silent, Nuorilang solidifies into strings of ice hangings, strings of ice waterfalls and clusters of snow mushrooms, and nature lets it rest. However, the melting snow is still an endless heartbeat!
The water in Norilang Falls comes from Mirror Lake.
3. Changhai Scenic Area: It consists of the colorful pool, Changhai and the sea in the upper part of Zechawa in the upper, middle and lower seasons.
The largest and deepest lake in Jiuzhaigou is Changhai. It is about 8 kilometers long, 4.4 kilometers at its widest point, with an area of about 2 million square meters and an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. It is also the highest lake in Jiuzhaigou.
The long sea has a wide water surface and no outlet on the surface, but it is not flooded by heavy rain in summer and autumn, and it does not dry up after a long drought in winter and spring. What a mystery!
At the end of the long sea, the continuous peaks are covered with snow all year round, wrapped in silver, close to the main peak of Minshan Mountain range, with an altitude of four or five kilometers. The mountains around Haizi are quiet, and the green water is deep, which makes the lake very clear. There are often long-necked water ducks perching on the water surface, flying freely and flying up and down, as if to amuse tourists. In spring and autumn, the scenery of Changhai is even more charming: the world of glass in water reflects the snow-capped mountains surrounded by spring flowers, and the colorful golden autumn sets off the mountains with yellow and red maple leaves; When winter comes, it is amazing to see beautiful flowers and trees around. At this time, the long sea has become an ice lake, and the ice layer on the lake is 60 cm thick, so even heavy vehicles can drive on the ice.
Caiwuchi
The lottery pool goes down from Changhai 1 km. This mountain road is 3000 meters above sea level, and colorful pools are hidden in deep valleys below the road.
The color pool is 2995 meters above sea level and 6.6 meters deep. Although the colorful pool is the smallest and most exquisite in Jiuzhaigou, its color is the most vivid, comparable to the five seas. Colorful ponds are unusually clear. Through the water, you can see the stone lines at the bottom of the pool. Due to the color difference of sediments at the bottom of the pond and the different colors of plants in Chi Pan, the original blue lake water becomes colorful.
Baojing Cliff Scenic Area: namely, the lower section of Shuzheng Valley. The main scenic spots are Zharu Temple (Bonism) bonsai sea and reed sea.
Bao Jingya
Zharugou has a huge stone cliff, which stands tall and has a flat surface. Seen from a distance, it looks like a big screen. This is Baojing Cliff, also known as Devil Cliff.
According to legend, this cliff is a precious mirror erected by Zhayi Zhaga, the Lord of Wanshan Mountain in Jiuzhaigou, which suppresses a harmful devil below and makes him never turn over.
Reed sea
Reed Sea is a semi-swamp lake with an altitude of 2140m and a total length of 2.2km.. There are many reeds in the sea, water birds flying, clear streams gurgling, green swaying and winding, which is a beautiful scenery of Zeguo. In the sea of reeds, reeds are swaying, lush, cool and Xu Lai, and blue waves fluctuate. The whispering voice is euphemistic and lyrical, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
In spring and summer, clean reeds are the same color and full of green eyes; In autumn and winter, reeds are golden, like a piece of green on a golden plate, which is amazing. I can't even believe that the colors of nature can have such a strong contrast.
Zharu temple
Zharu Temple, located in the middle of Zharu Road, is the largest and most famous Lama Temple near Jiuzhaigou. Founded in the late Ming Dynasty, it was renovated twice in 1860 and 1892. Zharu Temple consists of six parts: Daxiong Hall, Buddhist Sutra Building, Music Station, Tea Room and Guest House. This is a building with a strong color of Tibetan temples. There are five-color prayer flags hanging in front of the temple, fluttering in the wind.
March 15 of the lunar calendar is the Ma Zhi Festival of the sophisticated people in Jiuzhaigou, and the biggest temple fair is held here the next year. People here imitate, recite scriptures and worship Buddha, drink tea and drink, and enjoy singing and dancing.
Zhaluma avenue
Zharu Bridge spans one-sixth of the bend stream and is surrounded by two peaks of pines, which is the dividing line between Huanshan Road at the mouth of the ditch and Zharu Road in the ditch. The architectural features of Zharu Bridge are Tibetan temple style, all made of logs, and it is a small wooden bridge with a bridge pavilion. The bridge body, columns and fences on the bridge are all primary color wood, and even the top cover is primary color sawdust, which is simple and natural.
This is the starting point of the road. Zharu road is wide and flat, which is a good place for tourists to ride horses and sightseeing. Rent a horse path from here, and the Tibetan pastoral scenery and wild scenery on both sides are picturesque.
On the fifteenth day of every month in the lunar calendar, nearby Tibetans will go to Zhayi Zhaga Mountain in Jiuzhaigou to worship. This road is the only way, very lively.
Zhayi Zhaga Shenshan
Zhayi Zhaga Mountain is 4400 meters above sea level and stands at the end of Zharuma Road. It is said that this holy mountain is the master of thousands of mountains, and the pilgrimage to the mountain on the fifteenth day of each month of the lunar calendar and the Ma Zhi Festival on the fifteenth day of March are held here. Believers in groups, some riding horses, some walking, counterclockwise around the mountain, praying for the blessing of God and Buddha.
There are many scenic spots near Zhayi Zhaga Mountain, and the nearest place is Zharu Waterfall into the Red Pool.
Zharu waterfall is in the dense forest halfway up the mountain. The waterfall went through the forest, fell off the cliff and was intercepted by four steps into four waterfalls. Jiuzhai Tibetans regard it as divine water.
Hongchi is named after the surrounding mountain soil is red. It is located under a ridge of the highway from Shenshan to Huanshan, and is regarded as a holy pool by Tibetans.
Zharulin Road is located on the side of the expressway around Zharu Bridge, with a total length of about 500 meters. The road is densely covered with pine needles and misty rosin, and the winding path is secluded, which is a wonderful place for walking in the forest.
5. Primitive forest ecological scenic spots: namely, the upper section of Rizegou, Swan Sea, Caohai, Cliff Hanging Spring, Primitive Forest and other landscapes.
Jiuzhaigou has a vast primeval forest, one of which is the primeval forest at the top and end of Rizegou. Being in the forest, stepping on the deep and soft moss and fresh leaves, smelling the fragrant and moist air with the nose, listening to the song of pines and birds with the ears, and blowing wild forests and lush trees with the eyes, tourists seem to have come to another world and suddenly feel different.
Caohai
Caohai is 29 10 meters above sea level, and it is named after the lush grass on Hain Slender Lake. It's quiet here, the grass and the reflection match each other, and there are waterfowl swimming around in it.
Spring is green, summer is full of flowers, late autumn is golden, and winter is white and glittering. If it is in the rainy season, it is more interesting to visit in the rain.
Swan sea
Swan Sea is a wonderful flower in the sea of Jiuzhai Group. Connected with the downstream of Fangcaohai, most of the vast lake has been silted into shoals, which is a semi-swamp lake. The shallows are covered with green grass, and a clear stream flows through the green grass, nourishing this side of the water plants.
Swan Sea lies quietly in the valley, and the lake is crystal clear. Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, flowers and trees are lush, ethereal and silent. The water plants in this area are rich and beautiful, which attracts the love of lonely swans and often inhabits and breeds here. When swans come, they often swim leisurely on the lake, so this Haizi is called Swan Sea. Swan is a migratory bird, which goes and stays with the change of seasons, so it is not easy for tourists to see the trace of swan.
Jian Yan Xuan quan
Jianyan is a lonely peak at an altitude of more than 500 meters, which looks like a sword piercing the blue sky. You can see it when you walk down from the virgin forest. On the side of the sword rock facing Fangcaohai, there is a spring water falling vertically from the mountainside, such as hanging in the air and floating down from the rock, with a height exceeding130m. It's called Diaochun, which is said to be the lovesick tears of a woman looking for the male god Dage.
