Travel Itinerary

Meals included: None
To have more time to enjoy the park and avoid the crowds, you will need to set off early to explore Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, a wonderland named after the nine Tibetan villages.
You will visit the three major valleys of Jiuzhaigou: Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley, and Zechawa Valley, where clear alpine lakes, cascading waterfalls, colorful forests, white snow, and blue ice and snow await you.
Private cars are not allowed, so your guide will expertly guide you to take the shuttle bus within the scenic area and visit the surrounding areas. There are various restaurants in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, and your guide will recommend suitable places for you to eat. If you wish, we can arrange a picnic lunch.
Meals included: Breakfast
Note: If the activity attraction is closed on the day, the itinerary may be adjusted.
After breakfast, take a 2-hour bus ride from Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong Scenic Area. Huanglong Valley has one of the three largest travertine lake terraces in the world. Five-color pools, snow-capped peaks, verdant forests, and tranquil valleys are the four highlights of Huanglong.
In order to save your energy and time, we will arrange a cable car to the top of the valley, and then walk down the valley to enjoy the surrounding beauty. After about 3-4 hours of sightseeing in the valley, we will leave the park and enjoy a local lunch outdoors.
After the tour, the tour guide will accompany you to Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport or Railway Station to the next destination. In order to leave enough time to visit Huanglong, it is recommended to take a flight departing after 5 pm.
