I'm in Chengdu and I was in Jiuzhaigou a few weeks ago. It's cooler than Chengdu. Mid Oct is the prettiest time to visit Jiuzhaigou, and it's not very cold. It don't usually start to snow there until November. You probably should bring a light jacket, long pants and maybe a sweater when you visit in mid Oct. It's not the snow you should be worry about, it's the crowd. It's the peak time in Jiuzhaigou during that time. I would also bring some rain gear if I were you. Hope this helps.

October is a good time of year to pack some long johns underwear for any high altitude location. Sweaters and jackets sometimes are not enough. With long johns on you can shed your jacket and sweater if you are too warm. BTW - I was camping at 8000 feet in the heat of mid-August and did not bring my long johns. I was cold.

Sept/Oct are good months to visit. It would be a disappointment to go towards later Oct to find that the water is beginning to turn into ice.
