Jiejie,
Thanks for a very detailed trip report to Jiuzhaigou.
I will be visiting Jiuzhaigou the first week of September and have been struggling whether I should also visit HuangLong on this same trip. What is your thought on HuangLong?
Also, is there store or market around the hotel area to buy a sandwhich or something the night before to prepare for lunch in the Jiuzhaigou Park the next day so that we can sort of just having pinic in the park?
