With the coming of autumn, the weather cools down and the normal temperature is between 7 ° C (44.6 ° F) and 20 ° C (68 ° F). The soil freezes during the last ten days of the month and the top of some high mountains are covered with snow.
Most of the time, clothing suitable for autumn and an overcoat are sufficient. During the evening or when you climb the mountain, wear another sweater. Down clothing and thick trousers are also indispensable for nights.

We are planning to visit juizhaigou on 1st October. If we take a bus from chengdu, will it be possible to return at night back to chengdu? Is it possible to rent a van for 8 people and what would be the cost?
Dear Waheeda,
It will be a rush according to your itinerary. You won't have enough time for traveling. I suggest you stay a night in Jiuzhaigou at least.
You could take a bus to Jiuzhaigou, it costs about CNY150/US$24 per person and it takes about 7 hours. If you take a flight, it takes about 1 hour and there are many flights every day.
It is too expensive to rent a van, it costs about CNY5000/US$800 at least. Lussie Lu Replied on 2012-09-17
