It's all good and you are still able to home stay inside the park although not officially so you want to be travelling light. There are plenty of places to stay outside the park. We stayed just outside the entrance, about as close as you could get. The gate price is expensive and if I remember correctly you can get a discount for your second day but it only works if there are two of you!!!! If you like walking you can skip the bus ticket but it is a bit of a hike up to the most interesting part of the park. some people begin walking but jump on the bus later. I don't know if they ever check your tickets. They never checked our. Take the bus out to the Long lake early in the morning and then ride it up to the heard of the other fork. From there you can walk the whole way back to the entrance. Again a long hike but it will be the only way to escape the crowds for some peace and quiet on your own.

The bus trip us is also interesting and a little time spent in Songpan is worth it too. An alternative trip back is via Hongyuan, to Maerkang, (staying in Zhuokeji), then Taoping via Wenchuan back to Chengdu.

Of course this depends on how much time you have.

I am staying for 4 weeks so will travel to Jiuzhaigou or that area for about 3/4 days probably, maybe more. I forgot to ask, what sort of weather can I expect at that time of year?
