点评:I have seen Huanglong valley online and immediately decide that I have to visit. I am captivated by the colors of the Terraced ponds. Since I visited during the summer, the water is turquoise, green, yellow, and blue against the green forest. I bet the forest will look stunning during the autumn.
It is best to visit to visit once the park open to avoid the crowd and we were lucky to have stayed in the hotel adjacent to the ticketing office to make that happen. Upon collecting the ticket, we have to take a cable car followed by minibus to reach the entrance to the valley.
I see people using portable oxygen can while they are hiking at the park. The rule is to go slow and easy, and I did not need oxygen bottle, but I did prepare. It is around 9 degrees when we first arrived at the valley entrance so dress in layers, but it gets warmer as we hike towards the terraced pond.
The walkway in the park consists of wooden staircase, metal staircase and levelled boardwalk. A pair of good walking shoes is sufficient. We spent around 4 hours touring the valley including taking cable cars and minibus.
Points to note when I am touring high altitude:
1) Avoid taking shower 1 -2 days prior ascending (not showering while at high altitude)
2) Go slow and easy when walking
3) Avoid carrying too much stuff on the hike to reduce stress to the body while ascending
4) Standby portable oxygen can (I brought along one)
5) Dress in layers
This national park is 5A accredited and the park delivered the quality I expected.
翻译:我在网上看到了黄龙谷的照片,立刻决定一定要去看看。那些层叠的彩池色彩斑斓,令我着迷不已。由于我是在夏天去的,碧绿的森林映衬下,池水呈现出绿松石色、绿色、黄色和蓝色。我敢肯定,秋天时的森林景色一定会更加迷人。
为了避开人群,最好在公园开放时立刻前往。我们很幸运,就下榻在售票处旁边的酒店,得以实现这一愿望。拿到门票后……我们必须先乘坐缆车,再转乘小巴才能到达山谷入口。
我看到很多人在公园里徒步时使用便携式氧气瓶。规则就是慢慢走、轻松走,我虽然不需要氧气瓶,但也事先准备了。我们刚到山谷入口时,气温约为9度,所以建议穿多层衣物;不过当我们朝梯田池塘方向徒步时,天气就变暖和了。
公园里的步道由木制楼梯、金属楼梯以及平坦的木板路组成。一双好的步行鞋就足够了。我们花了大约4个小时来游览山谷,期间还乘坐了缆车和小巴。在高海拔地区旅行时需注意的要点:
1) 攀登前1-2天避免洗澡(抵达高海拔地区后也切勿洗澡)
2) 行走时要缓慢且轻松
3) 徒步时尽量少带物品,以减轻身体负担
4) 随身携带便携式氧气罐(我带了一个)
5) 采用分层穿衣法
这座国家公园获得了5A级认证,实际体验也符合我的预期。
