Day 2: Jiuzhaigou Full-Day Tour | Enjoy the Fairyland Landscapes
Start early to discover Jiuzhaigou ('Nine Village Valley') Scenic Area, a wonderland named for its nine Tibetan villages. Visit Jiuzhaigou's three main valleys: Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley, and Zechawa Valley.
There, waiting for your appreciation, is the picturesque natural scenery of clear alpine lakes, overlapping waterfalls, colourful forests, snowcapped mountains, and blue ice. Private vehicles are not allowed inside, so your guide will expertly direct you in taking the shuttle buses in the scenic area and touring around.
A buffet lunch can be arranged in Nuorilang Restaurant, which is the only restaurant in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. If you like, a picnic lunch can be arranged instead.
Day 3: Huanglong Scenic Area Tour and Departure
After breakfast, take a 2-hour drive from Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong Scenic Area. Huanglong Valley has one of three most outstanding travertine lake terraces in the world. Colourful pools, snowcapped mountains, verdant forests, and a peaceful valley are Huanglong's four highlights.
To save your energy and time, a cable car will be arranged to the valley top, and then walk down the valley to enjoy the fantastic scenery all around you. After about 3–4 hours sightseeing in the valley, leave the park and enjoy a local lunch outside.
At the end of the tour, your guide will escort you to Jiuzhai Huanglong Station to catch a late afternoon or evening bullet train to your next destination. To allow enough time for Huanglong, a flight departing after 5pm is suggested.
