Jiuzhaigou Valley’s Primeval Forest: A World Apart

At the end of Rize Gully in Jiuzhaigou Valley, there lies a pristine forest. Upon arrival, you are surrounded by lush trees, with thick, soft moss and fallen leaves underfoot. The fragrant air passes through your nostrils, and the sounds of birds and pine waves fill your ears, making it feel like an entirely different world.
The forest is so dense that the trees block out the sunlight, and the aroma of resin pervades the air. The ground is covered with the tracks of wild animals. Entering the forest gives one a sense of returning to nature.


Within the forest, you can find oil pines, oaks, firs, and hemlocks, as well as birch, larch, and other tree species. The opening hours are from November 1st to March 31st, 07:30-17:00; and from May 1st to October 31st, 08:00-17:00. For detailed information, please refer to the public notices at the scenic area.


Essential Tips: Each year, the primeval forest is closed during the winter and reopens after the May Day holiday of the following year.
