3-Day Jiuzhaigou & Huanglong High-Speed Rail Tour from Chengdu: UNESCO Scenery, Tibetan Culture & Gradual Altitude Acclimatization

In the morning, a private shuttle from your downtown hotel will take you to Chengdu East Station, where you’ll board a high-speed train to Huanglong-Jiuzhaigou Station or Songpan Station. Head to Songpan Ancient Town for some free time to explore, visit the millennium-old Songzhou City Wall on the plateau, and stroll through the streets and alleys showcasing Tibetan and Qiang cultures, while acclimating to the high-altitude environment. Afterward, take a bus to Zhangzha Town in Jiuzhaigou and check in at your hotel.

Take the scenic shuttle bus to explore the three main valleys of Jiuzhaigou—shaped like the letter “Y”—and visit iconic lakes and waterfalls such as Wuhua Lake, Wucai Pool, Pearl Beach, Changhai Lake, and Nuorilang Waterfall, enjoying ever-changing views of high-altitude lakes, mountains, forests, and water scenery with every step

Depart from Jiuzhaigou early in the morning by bus for the Huanglong Scenic Area (approximately a 2-hour drive). Explore Huanglong, known as the “Paradise on Earth,” and admire its remarkable calcified formations, such as the Five-Color Pools, the Competing Beauty Pools, and the Golden Sand Pavement. After the tour, head to the nearby high-speed rail station and take the high-speed train back to Chengdu East Station.
