The road through Aba

Katherine's Journey to the East heads into the Aba Tibetan region of Sichuan on a long, winding road to Jiuzhaigou. Along the route she notices distinctive wooden architecture. Some buildings initially look to her like Buddhist temples, but she realizes they are mosques, an unexpected discovery that points to the region's cultural mix. The drive brings changing views, fog and clouds, with the road itself becoming a major part of the trip.

The mountain route can be challenging, and Katherine describes other travelers becoming carsick. She advises people prone to motion sickness to avoid looking at their phones on winding roads and to consider medication if needed. Keeping eyes on the horizon can help. Weather changes quickly at higher elevations, so she recommends checking the forecast and preparing for fog and sudden conditions. Even in late September, she encounters snow.

Reaching Jiuzhaigou's pools

After the drive, Katherine reaches Jiuzhaigou and sees its blue pools, dead trees and mountain scenery. The water shifts in color depending on the camera angle, and she is struck by the contrast between the turquoise pools and the snow. The area requires walking and stairs, so comfortable shoes are useful. The scenery makes the long road worthwhile for her, but she also says she would like to return for a deeper exploration of Aba.

The visit is a brief introduction rather than a full regional itinerary. Katherine’s route takes her from Aba’s wooden buildings and mosques through a difficult mountain drive to Jiuzhaigou’s pools. Fog, possible car sickness, stairs and changing high-altitude weather shape the trip, while late-September snow surprises her. The cultural discoveries and scenery along the road leave Katherine interested in returning to explore more of Aba.
