It's the best time to visit the places, neither too hot nor cold. But the scenery in Jiuzhaigou will not be the most beautiful till late September.

It will shower then, and the temperature will range from 55F to 65F. You are advised to take jackets, light sweaters, shirts, pants, sneakers, and raincoats.

The buses reach Lugu Lake Passenger Transport Station in Zuosuo Town, Yanyuan County. ;)
