Itinerary

In the morning, head to Chengdu Eastern Train Station on your own to board the high-speed train from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou (about 2 hours ride). Upon arrival at Huanglong Jiuzhai train station, you will be picked up and transferred to Huanglong, which is about 40 minutes drive. This World Natural Heritage Site Huanglong National Park, situated at an elevation of approximately 3,000 meters (9,840 ft), is renowned for its vibrant lakes, stunning landscapes, and serene Buddhist monasteries. The park features a plethora of colorful ponds in shades of yellow, blue, green, and brown, scattered amidst lush forests. You have the option to explore the park either on foot or via cable car, allowing for a 3 to 5-hour experience. Afterward, you’ll be transferred to your hotel just outside Jiuzhaigou Park, rest and prepare for the next day. 

Please note that the cable car at Huanglong Park is not operational from December 16th to the end of March during the winter season. If you wish to visit Huanglong during this period, be prepared for a walk up and down, which may be challenging for some individuals. Alternatively, you can choose to visit Munigou scenic park for easier access.

Hi Jacqui,

This is Delia from WindhorseTour.

Thank you for your inquiry! We’d be happy to assist with arranging round-trip high-speed train tickets between Chengdu and Huanglongjiuzhaigou.

First-class seats are limited and cannot be guaranteed, but we will prioritize booking them for you. If first class is unavailable, we will arrange second-class seats instead and refund the fare difference.

We can also include the uphill cable car ticket at Huanglong Scenic Area. If you wish to take the cable car downhill as well, the ticket can be purchased on site. Hotel accommodation can either be booked independently or arranged by us upon request. Once you arrive, private vehicle transfers will be provided throughout the trip for greater comfort and convenience.

If your schedule allows, we recommend the following order:

  • Day 1: Travel from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou

  • Day 2: Explore Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area

  • Day 3: Visit Huanglong Scenic Area, then return to Chengdu

This itinerary allows for a more gradual adjustment to the higher altitude before visiting Huanglong.

I’ve sent three itinerary options with detailed quotations to your email for your review. Please take a look at your convenience, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to make any adjustments.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your message!

At the moment, Jiuzhaigou does not offer group tours, but since there are three of you, we can arrange a comfortable private tour instead. We provide both Chinese- and English-speaking guides. Since your group can speak Chinese, choosing a Chinese-speaking guide would make communication smoother and be more economical.

We can include round-trip high-speed train tickets between Chengdu and Huanglong-Jiuzhaigou Station, entrance tickets to all listed scenic spots (with discounted admission for travelers aged 60 and above), and flexible hotel accommodation arrangements according to your preferences.

The detailed itinerary and quotation have been sent to your email—please kindly check. If you have any questions, we’ll be happy to assist at any time.

Kind regards,
Delia
