2-Day Peak Season Tour for Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong

Jiuzhaigou has always been a love-and-hate place for many people. You love the breathtaking views of the deep blue lakes, yet hate the exorbitant price for a Jiuzhaigou tour. We here at China Highlights utilize all the resources to concentrate on a 2-day tour in the peak season (May to October) for you.

DAY 1  Jiuzhaigou Arrival and Huanglong Scenic Area Tour (flight not included)
Meals: breakfast, lunch & dinner

Recommended Hotel in Jiuzhaigou: Sheraton Jiuzhaigou Resort (5-star)/Jiuzhaigou Mingren Hotel (4-star)

Take an early flight to arrive at Jiuhuang Airport in the morning. Your guide will wait for you at the exit of the luggage claim lobby and will be ready to transfer you to have lunch. After lunch, you will start your trip to Huanglong Scenic Area.

Huanglong Scenic Area, the best-preserved plateau wetland in China, is neighbored with Jiuzhaigou. Colorful pools, snowcapped mountains, verdant forests, and a peaceful valley are its four highlights. A chairlift is not included. The cost is CNY 80 for going up and CNY 40 for going down. It is recommended you take the chairlift up and walk down to save you time and strength.

After the tour, your guide and driver will escort you to a hotel near Jiuzhaigou (about two hours’ drive) and you can enjoy a local dinner.

DAY 2  The Jiuzhaigou Tour and Departure (flight not included)
Meals: breakfast & lunch

After breakfast at the hotel, you will start early to discover the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, a wonderland named for its nine Tibetan villages. The valley winds its way for some 80 kilometers and covers an area of 720 square kilometers, and you will visit its main three gullies according to the schedule: Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley, and Zechawa Valley. Private vehicles are not allowed inside, so your guide will accompany you to take a public bus in the scenic area and tour around.

There you will appreciate the picturesque natural scenery with clear alpine lakes, overlapping waterfalls, colorful forests, snowcapped mountains, Tibetan customs, and blue ice. Get your camera prepared. A buffet lunch is arranged in the Nuorilang Restaurant which is the only restaurant in the Jiuzhaigou area. If you like, we can also arrange a picnic lunch for you.

At the end of the tour, your guide will escort you to Jiuhuang Airport to catch an evening flight to the next destination. To allow enough time for Jiuzhaigou, a flight departing after 6pm is suggested.
