Traveling to Jiuzhaigou Alone

From someone who used to be against traveling to China due to the complicated visa process, concerns about restrooms, transportation, and language barriers, my perspective has completely changed. Now that China offers visa-free entry for Thai tourists, and after hearing recommendations from close friends who have visited, I finally decided to give it a try. My journey began in Chengdu, and this trip to China has completely erased my old misconceptions. The people here are incredibly kind. Even though many don't speak English, they are very helpful and go out of their way to explain and translate until you understand. The restrooms, which used to be a concern, have improved significantly—especially in the national parks, where they are very clean (just remember to bring tissues). Transportation has also become much more convenient, making solo travel a breeze. Most importantly, the natural beauty is absolutely breathtaking and worth every moment. Jiuzhaigou truly lives up to its reputation. As they say, "Once you've seen the rivers here, you'll never look at other rivers the same way again." ❤️ I will definitely visit again.
