Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou had their own unique sceneries, and it was necessary to visit them. Huanglong was the only well-preserved plateau marsh in China. It was famous for its colorful pools, snowy mountains, canyons, and forests, as well as its beach streams, ancient temples, and folk customs. There were thousands of corroded pools of different sizes. Its colorful pools had a completely different feeling from the colorful pools in Jiuzhai. Here, one could experience the beauty of the "Jade Pool in the World". Jiuzhaigou had a primeval ecological environment, a rich variety of organisms, a unique Tibetan and Qiang culture, and a quiet and profound beauty. Its lakes were green and clear, like jade inlaid in the valley. The Changhai Lake, the Five Flowers Sea, the Pearl Beach Waterfall and other scenic spots had their own unique charms. The Five Flowers Sea had many colors because the bottom of the lake contained different minerals, just like nature's color palettes. Therefore, if he only went to one of the places, he would have regrets. The novel " Flood Dragon " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou were both famous scenic spots in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province. ** 1. Location and Distance ** The distance between the two was about 100 kilometers. ** II. Scenic Area Style and Landscape Characteristics ** 1. ** Yellow Dragon ** - It was located in Songpan County, at the foot of a snowy mountain. The surface layer was made of dissolved carbonate-like rocks. Under the effect of the snow mountain melt water, calcium dioxide was deposited due to oversaturation. The water flow formed colorful pools, beach flows, waterfalls, karst caves and other landscapes according to the terrain. There were thousands of limestone platforms and ponds of different depths on the four-kilometer-long hillside, which were colorful under the sunlight. Among them, the Five-Colored Pool was the role model of the Yellow Dragon. Huanglong was famous for its colorful pools, snowy mountains, canyons, and forests. Together with the beach, ancient temples, and folk customs, it was known as the Seven Wonders. - The tour route was generally to take a cable car or walk to the top of the scenic spot, and then travel from top to bottom. The journey was about three to four kilometers. Along the way, there were basically platforms and ponds with stagnant water or running water. These caverns were interlaced layer by layer, according to the mountain, and the sizes were interconnected, forming a unique waterscape. 2. ** Jiuzhaigou ** - It had a primitive ecological environment, rich biological variety, and a unique Tibetan and Qiang culture. The beauty of this place was quiet and deep. It was featured by green lakes (such as Changhai, Wuhua Sea, Pearl Beach Waterfall, etc.). The lakes were like jade inlaid in the valley. They were crystal clear and could reflect the blue sky, white clouds, and green mountains and trees. - Because the bottom of the lake contained different minerals, the Five Flowers Sea was blue, green, yellow, and other colors, like nature's color palettes. Jiuzhaigou was a beautiful landscape and was known as a "fairytale world". ** 3. Tour sequence and altitude sickness ** 1. ** Tour Order ** - We can go to Jiuzhaigou first, then go to Huanglong. Because Jiuzhaigou sightseeing tour was mostly in the valley, it was relatively easy, and Huanglong scenic area was relatively high in altitude. Many people would have altitude sickness such as ringing in their ears during the tour, so it was more appropriate to follow the order of easy first and then difficult. However, they could also flexibly choose the order of the tour according to their hobbies, physical conditions, and itinerary. 2. ** Altitude sickness ** - Some tour guides had made up false statements such as 20 deaths per year in Huanglong because of the rebellion. In fact, this statement was to promote goods. However, Huanglong's altitude was higher, so it might cause altitude sickness. Jiuzhaigou was relatively easy to visit. ** IV. Emergency traffic and tourism situations ** 1. ** Transportation ** - After the construction of Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport, it was more convenient to go to Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou. The journey from Jiuzhaigou scenic area to Huanglong Jiuzhai high-speed rail station was about two hours. However, if the vehicle does not have snow chains when it snows, it may cause an accident and lead to traffic jam. For example, on the evening of November 23,2024, the road from Jiuzhaigou scenic spot to Huanglong Jiuzhai High-speed Rail Station was blocked. The original two-hour journey was blocked for 4 - 6 hours. A large number of tourists failed to catch the last train back to Chengdu that night and stayed in Songpan. The subsequent hotel, air ticket and other trips were affected. The local transportation department dispatched buses to send the stranded tourists to the high-speed rail station. 2. ** Emergency Protection ** - In Huanglong Jiuzhaigou scenic area, if you feel unwell, you can call the scenic area emergency number 7249120. The staff of the scenic spot would make corresponding arrangements and deal with emergencies (such as tourists staying, etc.). The novel "Flood Dragon" is equally exciting.

From the perspective of adapting to the high-altitude environment, it was recommended to go to Jiuzhaigou first and then to Huanglong.

Traveling in Jiuzhaigou first would allow his body to adapt to the highland environment. It would be easier to travel to Huanglong later. However, after the construction of Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport, it was very convenient to go to Huanglong or Jiuzhai. They could also choose the order of the tour according to their hobbies, physical condition, and itinerary. However, it was important to note that Jiuzhai and Huanglong both had unique beautiful scenery.

Some people thought that it was unnecessary to go to Xuan Kong Temple. A tourist said that the ticket price of Xuankong Temple was higher and the sightseeing time was shorter, so it might not be worth the time and money. In addition, some people mentioned that the wooden plank road and stairs of Xuankong Temple were steep, which might not be suitable for people with acrophobia and high blood pressure. However, there were also people who thought that the spectacular scenery of Xuankong Temple was worth a look. Xuankong Temple had experienced 1500 years and relied on structures such as standing trees and beams to maintain stability. In general, it was a personal choice whether or not to ascend the Xuankong Temple. If one was uneasy about the height and steep terrain, or thought that the ticket price was not worth it, one could choose to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Xuankong Temple from below.
Xuan Kong Temple was a very spectacular scenic spot. It was built on a cliff, giving people a sense of danger. Although there was an additional entrance fee to Xuankong Temple, one could experience the precipitousness and magnificent scenery. The entrance fee to Xuan Kong Temple was 24 yuan.

Therefore, whether or not to visit Xuankong Temple depended on one's personal interest and budget.
