I felt that going on November 2nd this year was a bit late. The leaves in the Natural Gallery had already mostly fallen, and there were hardly any red leaves to see in Xianglu Mountain. Only Black Bear Valley and Da Xiao Lan Valley were worth seeing.
The scenery is inferior to Black Bear Valley, and the management of the scenic area is even more chaotic! The shuttle bus costs 20 yuan per person round trip, but there are far more people than available buses. Parking is charged separately, and there's an additional 20 yuan charge for a one-way trip back to the parking lot! This is unreasonable!
You must sit by the window. There are performances at night, which is very suitable for children. You can eat and drink in the ancient town and take the cruise ship at 20:40. It's just right to go back to the hotel and sleep after playing.
To be honest, for those of us who frequently visit various caves, the caves themselves were rather ordinary; they were worth seeing, but not particularly amazing. The rafting experience, however, was quite commendable.
Although Black Bear Valley has an unappealing name, the scenery is absolutely stunning and incredibly photogenic! Especially the drive from the Natural Gallery to Black Bear Valley itself; the scenery inside is just as beautiful as Jiuzhaigou! The key is that it's much better value for money than Jiuzhaigou.
Let's get close to nature together! Let's forget about class committee members! This is definitely a place you won't regret visiting!
Recommendation: Go to the Natural Gallery first, then take the bus to Black Bear Valley!
