Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area 2-days Essence Tour

Two days is the perfect amount of time for touring Jiuzhaigou. For friends visiting the plateau for the first time, it is recommended to avoid strenuous activities on the first day. Therefore, the first day serves as an adaptation period, focusing mainly on visiting the Zechawa Gully and Shuzheng Gully. The second day involves more hiking, with the main attraction being the essence of Jiuzhaigou—the Rize Gully.

Day 1

Entrance → Long Lake → Five-Color Pond → Nuorilang Center Station → Nuorilang Waterfall → Rhinoceros Lake → Shuzheng Waterfall → Shuzheng Lakes → Double Dragon Lake → Reed Lake → Bonsai Beach → Exit

The first day’s tour schedule is quite relaxed, ensuring you won’t feel overly tired. Thus, you can enjoy a variety of entertainment activities. It is recommended to visit a Tibetan family inn outside the scenic area, where you can savor authentic Tibetan and Qiang cuisine, such as roasted whole lamb, highland barley wine, butter tea, milk tea, hand-grabbed meat, lamb chops, and yak meat. The first half of the experience involves dining indoors while watching performances, and the second half is spent outdoors dancing around a bonfire in a Guozhuang dance. The whole process is incredibly fun.

Day 2

Tourist Center → Primeval Forest → Fangcao Lake → Swan Lake → Arrow Bamboo Lake → Panda Lake → Pearl Shoal → Five-Flower Lake → Nuorilang Center Station → Nuorilang Waterfall → Rhinoceros Lake → Shuzheng Waterfall → Shuzheng Lakes → Double Dragon Lake → Reed Lake → Bonsai Beach

After completing the second day’s tour, you can visit Jiuzhaigou Paradise Port. Here, you can enjoy performances featuring distinctive Tibetan and Qiang songs and dances, colored ball throwing, Tibetan Nuo opera, and folk acrobatics. You can also purchase travel souvenirs here. Alternatively, you can arrange to watch the original ecological performance *Tibetan Riddle*, which showcases the authentic culture of Jiuzhaigou’s Tibetan and Qiang ethnic groups. Through a grand and spectacular show, you can experience the millennia-old stories and beautiful legends of Jiuzhaigou.
