My husband and I visited Jiuzhaigou. This hotel left such a lasting impression - highly recommended‼️ Everyone knows that traveling during the May Day holiday means huge crowds, especially at popular attractions. The classic Jiuzhaigou tour is no exception. That's why I chose a less crowded route - the Jiuzhaigou "vacation" tour! Entering Jiuzhaigou in spring is like stepping into a world of spilled paint. Wildflowers bloom everywhere - red, pink, and purple - complementing the lush green trees 🌷 I highly recommend this Chengdu-Jiuzhaigou trip with kids! 🏨 Staying at the Tibetan-style wooden hotel - Jiuzhaigou Yiqiu Secret Resort: After a 30-minute drive along winding mountain roads from the foot of the mountain, you'll reach China's smallest administrative village. At an altitude of 3,000m, surrounded by misty clouds and mountains, it feels like a fairyland. Wild Homestay: A secluded paradise with Chinese-style courtyards, forest coverage, and a yard so large it feels like an estate. It's a rustic mountain retreat built with gray tiles, brick, and wood. The most delightful surprise of this trip was staying at the Tibetan-style wooden hotel - Jiuzhaigou Yiqiu Secret Resort 🏨 About 30 minutes' drive along winding mountain roads from the base (though the road is winding, it's totally worth it!), it's like entering a secluded paradise.

All the pictures were taken at the Yiqiu Resort Hotel. The stay was very good. I personally like it very much, but... I don't recommend it because the hotel address is really desolate. You have to drive a 32-turn mountain road up the mountain😐 (note here⚠️It is a mountain road, not a concrete road). Time: 30 minutes. The road conditions are not good. When I checked in, it was after 8 pm. There were street lights on the mountain, but it was really scary to look down (sisters can go for it if they are stubborn hhh). The temperature difference between morning and night on the mountain is huge. Remember to bring enough clothes🧥 There is hot pot for dinner. You need to contact the hotel in advance to make a reservation. It is still very good. There is wifi. The mobile phone signal📶 is not ideal (except Android). I think if you want to have a quiet time like being isolated from the world, you can come here~ The hotel also has cute free-range pets🐕Wangcai is its name. It is really super close (guardian angel)
