2025 Songpan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Huanglong is a national park and World Heritage Site located in northwestern Sichuan Province, China. It's famous for its cascading limestone pools, formed by calcium deposits, resembling golden dragon scales. The park also boasts mountainous terrain, waterfalls, hot springs, and lush forests, home to giant pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys. ✨️ Huanglong Highlights Travertine Pools: The main highlight of Huanglong's fame. These pools, adorned with a variety of colors, ranging from blue, emerald green, and gold, are formed by calcium deposits in the water, creating cascading cascades down the mountainsides. 🌲 Mountains and Forests: Located in a mountainous region, Huanglong boasts high mountains covered with ancient pine forests and diverse vegetation. Ecological Diversity: Home to rare wildlife such as giant pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys. 📌 World Heritage Site: Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992. 🚄 Travel and Seasons Getting there: You can take the high-speed train from Chengdu to Huanglongjiuzhaigou Station, then transfer to the park. Alternatively, you can rent a private car. 🏞 Best Time to Visit: September-October is the most beautiful autumn season, when the leaves turn vibrant shades of orange, red, and green. ❌️Caution❌️ Altitude Sickness: The park is located at an altitude of over 3,000 meters. Elderly visitors, those with heart disease or high blood pressure, should take extra precautions. Winter Closures: The park may close during the winter (approximately November-March) due to snow cover and natural regeneration.

Notes: ① Pre-purchase your scenic area tickets through the official WeChat mini-program before your trip. Crowds are limited at the scenic area, so grabbing tickets is absolutely essential during peak season. ② Transportation: Considering time and cost, we chose the high-speed rail, which takes less than two hours from Chengdu to Huanglong Jiuzhaigou Station or Songpan Station. Both stations offer shuttle buses or public transport to Huanglong Scenic Area. Buses are cheaper than shuttles, but they run less frequently. ③ Free luggage storage is available near the scenic area's visitor center. This is very useful for tourists, as most visitors combine a trip to Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area and stay overnight. The morning of our trip was cloudy, but the weather improved by midday. We were fortunate to be able to experience Huanglong, a paradise on earth, under clear skies, instantly dispelling the year's bad luck. We purchased additional bus tickets to the mountain, but not the sightseeing bus tickets (limited to 5,000 people). Although this meant an extra hour of walking up the mountain, it also allowed us to alleviate altitude sickness and enjoy the scenery along the way. There are pros and cons to both. It's a rare opportunity to visit Huanglong, and it's perfect for a leisurely stroll! Savor the beauty of the limestone (karst) terrain, the majestic mountains, the towering pines, and the waters that refract the sunlight in different ways! Huanglong is truly beautiful everywhere! 😍 We walked down the mountain (you can also buy a bus ticket) and stopped frequently to take photos. Before we knew it, we'd already walked for over 6-7 hours, and we had to hurry up to get down before the scenic area closed. Only after leaving the scenic area did we realize we hadn't even eaten lunch that day! #HuanglongScenicArea

Who understands the pain of crowded holidays! This time I found a truly laid-back way to enjoy Jiuzhaigou, no rushing, no early mornings, only about 700+ per person, easily enjoying the beautiful scenery. No more words, here’s the guide👇 1. Itinerary Day 1: Wake up naturally and set off 🚗 Depart from Chengdu, book a nanny car business seat in advance (the seat can recline flat, super comfortable), the driver will pick you up directly at the hotel. Catch up on sleep and enjoy the scenery on the way. Arrive at the Jiuzhaigou entrance hotel around 4 PM to check in. In the evening, have some local snacks at the nearby snack street, yak meat skewers and butter tea are both very good! Day 2: In-depth tour of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area 🌄 Leisurely enter the scenic area at 8 AM (avoid peak crowds), take the sightseeing bus directly to Changhai Lake. Changhai is truly stunning, the deep blue water looks like a huge gem, with snow-capped mountains faintly visible in the distance, perfect for photos📸 From Changhai, walk down to check in at Five-Color Pond, Nuorilang Waterfall, Five Flower Lake, and Pearl Shoal Waterfall (filming location of "Journey to the West"). If you get tired, take the shuttle bus; each stop has supply points, very convenient. Day 3: Stroll around Chuanzhusi Town Sleep in the morning, then go explore Chuanzhusi Town. It’s full of Tibetan culture; you can rent a set of Tibetan clothes for photos (80 RMB/set), have a makeup artist braid your hair with small braids, then take photos in front of the prayer flags for a full atmosphere. For lunch, have a Tibetan-style hot pot, about 60 RMB per person, the yak meat is tender and flavorful, paired with barley cakes, very satisfying. In the afternoon, buy some local specialties like yak jerky and Sichuan pepper sauce. Remember to shop at the supermarket, it’s much cheaper than in the scenic area. Day 4: Return trip Pack up in the morning, check out, and have the driver take you to the airport or train station to end the pleasant trip. 2. Accommodation Recommendations Jiuzhaigou Entrance Hotels: It’s recommended to stay at hotels near the entrance for convenient travel, within walking distance to the scenic area entrance. There are many accommodation options at the entrance, prices range from a few hundred to over a thousand RMB, so you can choose according to your budget. I stayed at [Hotel Name], about 300+ RMB per night, the room was clean and tidy, with free breakfast, great value for money. 3. Food Recommendations - Tibetan-style hot pot: A must-try in Jiuzhaigou, with yak meat, various mushrooms, and vegetables, the broth is fresh and delicious, very warming. - Yak jerky: Firm and chewy meat, the more you chew, the more flavorful it gets. Great as a snack or souvenir. - Barley cakes: Crispy texture with a light barley aroma, very filling. 4. Notes 1. Jiuzhaigou is at a high altitude, so altitude sickness may occur. Prepare oxygen bottles and altitude sickness medicine in advance. 2. UV rays are strong in the scenic area, remember to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. 3. Temperature difference between morning and evening is large, bring a thick jacket to avoid catching a cold. 4. Don’t buy overpriced oxygen bottles at the scenic area entrance; it’s more cost-effective to buy them in Chengdu pharmacies beforehand. This kind of laid-back trip is really perfect for lazy people like me, you can have fun without getting too tired. Everyone, quickly save this, find a time to enjoy a leisurely trip to Jiuzhaigou!

Is Jiuzhaigou in summer a "paradise on earth"? Jiuzhaigou in autumn is simply divine! 🔥 Have you ever seen the colorful forests reflected in the Tiffany blue lakes? Have you seen the layered forests and cascading waterfalls flowing like gold under the sunlight? Jiuzhaigou in autumn is stunning beyond words! Just returned from this painted world and painstakingly put together this nanny-level guide to avoid crowds and enjoy exclusive empty scenes. Miss it and wait a whole year! 📍Why is autumn the peak beauty of Jiuzhaigou? 🔸Color explosion scene: Starting from mid to late October, over 2,000 plant species change their colors! Golden yellow, fiery red, dark green, sapphire blue... intertwined among 108 lakes, saturation maxed out, the visual impact is many times that of summer! 🔸Water quality peak: Crisp autumn air + less rainfall, lake water visibility reaches the highest of the year! The "Jiuzhai Blue" is so pure it’s breathtaking, with submerged deadwood and calcite clearly visible. 🔸Light and shadow magician: Sunlight penetrates the colorful forests, sprinkling golden fragments on the lake surface, morning mist lingers like a fairyland, every shot looks like a National Geographic cover! 🔸Off-peak small happiness: After National Day, tourists sharply decrease (especially in November), securing empty scenes is not a dream! Hotel and flight prices also drop, cost performance soars! 📸Autumn exclusive “Seven Absolutes” check-in spots & unique shooting tips: 🍁Colorful forests + lakes · The ultimate combo! 🔸Five Flower Lake: The king of center stage! Submerged deadwood dances with colorful forests on the shore, best shot in the morning with front light, the lake water shows a dreamy blue-green gradient. Hidden spots: Tiger Mouth Viewing Platform (overhead panoramic shot), boardwalk low angle for reflections. 🔸Shuzheng Group Lakes: 19 lakes linked like an emerald necklace, best shot in the afternoon with side backlight, layered colorful forests perfectly match the sparkling water! Walk along the boardwalk to the opposite side of Shuzheng Village, fewer people and great depth of field. 🔸Rhinoceros Lake: Wide and mirror-like water surface, a must-go on windless mornings! Perfect reflection of colorful forests and snow-capped mountains, a budget version of the "Mirror of the Sky." Fewer people on the northern boardwalk. 💦Golden waterfalls · Dynamic blockbusters! 🔸Nuorilang Waterfall: The widest waterfall in China! Moderate water flow in autumn, after 3 PM sunlight slants, golden maple leaves decorate both sides of the waterfall, water flows like golden silk. Use wide-angle + slow shutter (bring a tripod!) for grandeur. 🔸Pearl Shoal Waterfall: Filming location of "Journey to the West"! Water leaps over calcite shoals, best shot in the morning with front light, water droplets fall like pearls among colorful forests. Shoot from below the waterfall looking up for explosive layering. ❄️Blue ice first appearance · Niche surprise! (Mid to late November only) 🔸Changhai Lake: The highest lake in Jiuzhaigou! Be the first to enter early morning, thin frost on the shore, first snow on distant mountains + dark blue lake water + golden pine shoreline, the cold and sophisticated vibe maxed out. (High altitude, dress warmly!) 🔸Five Color Pond: The smallest but most vibrant! Deep autumn waters still bright blue, surrounded by colorful forests, like a sapphire set in gold. Use telephoto to compress space and highlight color contrast. 🌅Secret hiking · Exclusive autumn colors! 🔸Primeval Forest - Fangcao Lake Boardwalk: Avoid tourist bus crowds! About 1.5 hours hiking through tall original colorful forests, sunlight filters through leaves, full of tranquility, occasional squirrel sightings! (Best for morning visit to Rize Valley) 🔸Zharu Valley (extra ticket required): Truly a niche secret spot! Tibetan villages, streams, colorful forests, temples, a blend of culture and nature, shoot a different Jiuzhaigou. Unique horseback trail hiking experience. 🍂Best autumn viewing time & off-peak guide (2025 forecast): 🔸Early autumn (mid to late October): Colorful forests just appearing, yellow, green, and red intertwined, more tourists (especially weekends). 🔸Peak autumn (late October to early November): Golden period! Colors most intense, lake water clearest. Strongly recommend visiting on weekdays, rush in at 7:30 when the park opens! 🔸Late autumn (mid to late November): Falling leaves, first snow on mountains, blue ice appears, very few tourists, maximum chance to enjoy empty scenes! (But some boardwalks may close due to frost) ‼️Super hardcore tips: 🚥Transportation: 🔸Plane: Direct flight to Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport (JZH), fast and convenient, about 1.5 hours from airport to park entrance. 🔸Self-drive: About 8 hours from Chengdu, good road conditions but many curves, recommend 2 days 1 night, stay in Songpan or Chuanzhusi. 🔸Inside the park: Sightseeing buses are essential! Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley, and Zechawa Valley form a Y shape, plan your route reasonably (suggest Rize Valley in the morning, Zechawa/Shuzheng Valley in the afternoon). 🏘️Accommodation: 🔸Park entrance hotels: Many options, convenient walking to the park gate, book 1-2 months in advance during peak season! 🔸Inside the park (only some residential areas): Can play for 2 days, deeply experience dawn and dusk beauty (need 2-day ticket), but limited and few, must comply with regulations. 🎫Tickets: Buy real-name tickets in advance on Aba Tourism website! Enter with ID card. Peak season limits visitors, book at least 3 days ahead! 👗Clothing: After late October it’s like winter! Gore-Tex jacket + fleece/thin down + thermal underwear is standard! Waterproof and slip-resistant hiking shoes are a must. Bright scarves/hats (red, white) add a finishing touch. 🏔️Altitude sickness prevention: The highest lake Changhai is 3100m, move slowly, bring glucose and ibuprofen. Don’t wash your hair the first night. 🌟Others: 🔸Bring your own snacks and water, few and expensive restaurants inside the park. 🔸Protect the environment! Don’t step on calcite shoals or litter! 🔸Download offline maps, some areas have weak signal. 📌Conclusion: Jiuzhaigou in autumn is the ultimate romance of color and light. This guide helps you avoid crowds, enjoy picture-perfect empty scenes, and witness China’s top autumn feast! Quickly save this, and let Jiuzhaigou’s brilliance heal you this autumn! ✨

🏞️ We have summarized 5 main points we learned from visiting Huanglong and posted them below. ✨✨ . . .🌳 1. Choose to go early in the morning because the later it is, the more people there will be. 🌳 2. Huanglong allows people to enter the park until 4 pm, but the bus at HuanglongJiuzhai Train Station that will take you to the park only runs until 2 pm. If you arrive after that, you have to arrange a taxi yourself. 🌳 3. The queue to get on the Cable Car is very long, like waiting in line for a ride at an amusement park, about 1.30-2 hours. 🌳 4. When going up the park, it is recommended that you buy the Cable Car when you go up and then walk down. Do not try to walk up yourself. Even though it is a hiking with stairs to make it easier to walk, walking up 4 kilometers of stairs is not easy. You will have less time to walk around and take pictures because the park closes at 6 pm. 🌳 5. There are shops selling drinks or hotdogs along the way as rest stops, but there will be a lot of people. It is recommended to buy food outside and take it in your bag. Bring water with you. Because when the weather is cold, even if you don't sweat, your throat will be very dry. —- #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #TravelChina #ChengduReview #ChengduTravel #TravelAbroad #TravelAbroadByYourself #TravelAbroadByYourself #Huanglong #HuanglongGeopark

Jiuzhaigou May Day Travel Guide: A Poetic Encounter of Nature and Culture —A Seasoned Traveler's Secret Itinerary and Warm-Hearted Tips I. Pre-Trip Preparations: Ensuring a Smooth Journey 1. New Transportation Options: High-Speed Rail for Time-Saving and Convenience The Sichuan-Qinghai High-Speed Railway opened in 2025. Departing from Chengdu East Station, the fastest train takes only 3 hours to reach Jiuzhaigou Station, eliminating the previous 8-hour bumpy ride. The high-speed rail station also offers a "three-ticket-in-one" service (high-speed rail ticket + shuttle bus ticket + scenic spot ticket), providing seamless transfers for an effortless start to your journey. Tip: High-speed rail tickets need to be booked 15 days in advance. It is recommended to choose an early train to avoid peak crowds and start your Jiuzhaigou tour in the afternoon. 2. Tickets and Accommodation: Book Early for Peace of Mind Jiuzhaigou implements a real-name reservation system with a daily limit of 30,000 visitors. It is recommended to book tickets 7 days in advance through the official website or platforms like Trip.com (tickets are CNY 220/person, half price for ages 60-64). Accommodation Recommendations: Near the Scenic Area: Hotels at the entrance (such as Shuzheng Qunhai Hotel, approx. CNY 300/night) are convenient for entering the park early the next day. Tibetan Experience: Tibetan homestays (such as Tibetan guesthouses in Zhangzha Town) offer an authentic experience with yak butter tea and stories by the fire pit. 3. Packing List: Pack Light, but Be Prepared Essential Items: Windbreaker (large temperature difference between day and night), sunscreen (strong UV rays on the plateau), portable oxygen bottle (to prevent altitude sickness), and rain gear (frequent showers in spring). II. Itinerary: Balancing Exploration and Relaxation Day 1: Chengdu—Jiuzhaigou (3 hours by high-speed rail) Afternoon Arrival: Check in to a hotel at the entrance. In the evening, stroll to the "Jiuzhaigou Eternal Love" scenic area and watch Tibetan and Qiang song and dance performances (tickets approx. CNY 260) for an immersive experience of ethnic culture. Dinner Recommendation: Tibetan Yak Hot Pot (recommended "Zha Tibet Restaurant"), paired with highland barley wine, is both warming and satisfying. Day 2: Full-Day Exploration of Jiuzhaigou's Core Scenic Area Enter the park at 6:30 am: Avoid the crowds and head straight to Mirror Lake to capture the "reflection of snow-capped mountains." At this time, the lake surface is like a mirror, with stunning light and shadow effects. Highlights: 1. Shuzheng Lakes: Stroll along the boardwalk and admire the emerald-green lakes, strung together like a necklace. 2. Nuorilang Waterfall: The water volume is abundant during May Day, creating a magnificent spectacle. 3. Five Flower Lake: The lake water shimmers with interwoven blue and green hues under the afternoon sun, resembling a painter's palette. 4. Long Lake: Sit by the lake and enjoy the tranquility at an altitude of 3,100 meters. Lunch: Buffet restaurant inside the scenic area (approx. CNY 60/person). Tibetan yogurt and highland barley cakes are recommended. Day 3: Day Trip to Huanglong Scenic Area (Optional) Transportation: Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong is about a 2-hour drive. Charter a car or join a group tour (local day trips are approx. CNY 400/person). Must-See Attractions: Five-Color Pool (calcified pool group) and Huanglong Temple. Taking the cable car uphill and walking downhill is recommended. Dinner: Return to Jiuzhaigou County and try the "Wild Mushroom Feast." The matsutake stewed chicken is exceptionally delicious. Day 4: Exploring Tibetan Villages and Cultural Experiences Morning: Visit Zhongcha Tibetan Village, participate in making tsampa, learn Tibetan songs, and chat with locals around the fire pit. Afternoon: Free time. Cycling or hiking along less-traveled routes outside Jiuzhaigou (such as Jiawuhai Panda Park) is recommended, offering a chance to encounter pandas leisurely munching on bamboo. Day 5: Return Trip and Chengdu Food Finale High-speed rail back to Chengdu: In the afternoon, explore Kuanzhai Alley and buy Zhang Fei Beef and Shu embroidery as souvenirs. Ultimate Hot Pot Feast: "Piaoxiang Hot Pot," a local favorite, is a must-try. Don't miss the tripe and duck blood for a spicy and satisfying experience. III. Travel Experience: Adding Warmth to Your Journey Making Friends with Locals: When visiting a Tibetan home, offer to help make yak butter tea, and the host may gift you a handmade Tibetan silver ornament as a souvenir. If you encounter a festival, you might be invited to join in a Guozhuang dance. Don't be shy; participation is the best form of respect. IV. Pitfalls to Avoid: Lessons Learned from a Seasoned Traveler Avoiding Crowds: The first scenic area bus departs at 8:30 am. It is recommended to tour against the flow: visit Long Lake first, then gradually descend to Shuzheng Lakes. Shopping with Caution: The authenticity of yak jerky sold outside the scenic area varies. "Aba Air-Dried Yak Jerky," a time-honored brand from Songpan, is recommended, and they offer delivery service. Environmental Responsibility: Drones are prohibited in Jiuzhaigou, and trash cans are sparsely distributed. Carry a trash bag with you to protect this wonderland. V. Budget Estimate (5 days, 4 nights) Independent Travel: Approx. CNY 2,500 per person (including high-speed rail, accommodation, tickets, and meals). Group Tour: Pure play group tours cost CNY 1,000-1,500 per person, offering good value and no shopping traps. 🌸The beauty of Jiuzhaigou lies half in its landscapes and half in its people. Although May Day is a peak season, as long as you travel off-peak and experience it with an open heart, you can still find your own poetic corner in this "Earthly Paradise." May your camera capture not only the crystal-clear lakes but also the smiles of Tibetan grandmothers and the warm encounters along the way.🌼

#NewYearNewTrip #Chengdu #TravelChina #TravelChinaByYourself #SichuanProvince #TravelSichuan #NationalPark 🎉The new station HuanglongJiuzhai Railway Station just opened at the end of 2024. The place and station are still new and are important landmarks for tourists who want to travel to Huanglong National Park and Jiuzhaigou National Park, which are ranked as 5A-level beautiful and magnificent. Because there are many High Speed ​​Trains from the city of "Chengdu", which is the main city for traveling to "Sichuan" 🚝 Because this station is far from... 🎄 Huanglong National Park 30 kilometers 🏞️ Jiuzhaigou 90 kilometers 🎉 Therefore, traveling to "Jiuzhaigou" and "Huanglong" is convenient, comfortable and faster than before, an hour and no need to get dizzy from taking a bus from Chengdu through the curves for a long time. And this is also the main point of transportation, whether it is a "hotel", "bus stop", "taxi call point" to pick up and drop off to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong Park throughout the train running time (Time Schedule) 👉 Things to know: 1. High-speed train... from Chengdu to Huanglongjiuzhai Station takes 2 hours, costs about 2,000 baht. 2. Car from Huanglongjiuzhai Station to Huanglong (distance 30 kilometers) about 45-60 minutes 3. Car from Huanglongjiuzhai Station to Jiuzhaigou (distance 90 kilometers) about 90-120 minutes 🚝 For more convenience, we can book the train in advance from the Trip.com app 👍

#NewYearNewTrip #TravelChina #TravelChinaByYourself #Chengdu #VisitNationalPark 🧩 Visit “Huanglong Park” or “Yellow Dragon Valley”, a natural resource rich in the Minshan Mountains. It is complete with waterfalls, hot springs, and the highlight of this place, “Limestone Pools”, a travertine lake with more than 3,400 small pools cascading down the mountain ridge amidst natural vegetation and wildlife. 🍂 But this time, it was in winter, which was slow and quite difficult to walk. The entire walking path was surrounded by snow. The water in the pools/waterfalls was pure white ice all over the area, leaving only the hot springs…but it can still be confirmed that it is “beautiful” in another way, just like the rumor that it is “heavenly land”. 🎈Huanglong Park was therefore registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1992 and is a 5A-level tourist attraction in the Sichuan region. Famous 🚝 Travel: Take the high-speed train from Chengdu Station to Huanglong Jiuzhaigou Station (90 minutes, first-class train price 2,500 baht), then take a bus or taxi to Huanglong Park (60 minutes). 👉 Tips: 1. Since it is a high-altitude area (3,500 meters), you should walk slowly and carry/use canned oxygen. 2. From the front of the park, you can choose to walk up the mountain (about 7 kilometers) or choose to take a bus and then a cable car to the upper zone (costs about 2,000 baht).

I arrived at Huanglong on a cloudy and snowy day. I didn't expect much but I was overwhelmed with emotion when I saw this beautiful scenic area. The most unique and beautiful highlight is the walking path from the end of the cable car to the bus stop. People shouldn't take the bus and should take the time to walk this path because it's completely worth it. From the bus stop area, it starts to get unusually crowded and there's not much left to experience.

Wow, I was so lucky! It was sunny every day during my two days in Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. The scenery was so beautiful it made me want to cry 😭! But I always get altitude sickness when I come here. The altitude is only 3,500 meters, but I just can't get over it 😫! Be careful when you travel, everyone! Here are some practical tips I learned from my trip to Huanglong Scenic Area. Be sure to read them! ✅ How to buy tickets for Huanglong? 🎫 There are several types of tickets: Full-price ticket (including admission and cable car up) ✅ This is a must-buy! Cable car down ticket (optional) Sightseeing bus ticket ✅ (must-buy! Limited to 5,000 tickets per day, so be sure to book in advance) ❷ Order of visiting the scenic area Queue at the entrance to take the bus to the cable car station ⚠️ Some people say there are long lines in the morning. I suggest entering the park around 12 pm. The sunlight is just right, and there are no lines! ⚠️ The cable car ride takes about 10 minutes. After getting off the cable car, take the sightseeing bus if you have a ticket, then walk 800 meters to the Five-Color Pond. After visiting the Five-Color Pond, if you don't have a cable car down ticket, walk 4 km to the exit, stopping to enjoy the scenery along the way. This takes about 2 hours. ⚠️ If you don't get a sightseeing bus ticket after getting off the cable car, walk along the boardwalk for about 3 km (there is an uphill section). Be sure to visit the Five-Color Pond first! There is a fork in the road to the Competing Colors Pond, which is downhill. Don't take the wrong path 😭, or you'll have to walk an extra 2 km. 🗓 Order of visiting: 🚌 Sightseeing bus version Cable car up ➟ sightseeing bus ➟ walk to Five-Color Pond ➟ walk down ➟ Competing Colors Pond ➟ walk down past other ponds ➟ park entrance 🚶 Walking version Cable car up ➟ walk to Five-Color Pond ➟ walk down ➟ Competing Colors Pond ➟ walk down past other ponds ➟ park entrance ❸ How to take the high-speed train from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong? [Chengdu East - Songpan Station] [Chengdu East - Huanglong Jiuzhai Station] [Chengdu East - Huangshengguan Station] You can take any of these three stations, then transfer to a bus/business car/taxi to Jiuzhaigou or Huanglong. There are also many trains between Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. I personally recommend going to Jiuzhaigou first, then Huanglong, because Huanglong is more tiring and you are more likely to get altitude sickness, which could affect the rest of your trip! ❹ Other notes ⚠️ It takes about 4-5 hours to visit Huanglong. The Five-Color Pond and Competing Colors Pond are must-sees ✅ Even on sunny days, the sun starts to set at 3 pm, so 12 pm to 3 pm is the best time to visit Altitude sickness varies from person to person. If you feel unwell, go to an oxygen station in the park and get a nasal cannula.
