After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, embark on a full-day adventure in Jiuzhaigou National Park. Accompanied by your guide, you will take a sightseeing bus into the park to explore its enchanting landscape.
Renowned for its stunning and inspiring scenery, Jiuzhaigou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of China's most captivating attractions. The name Jiuzhaigou, meaning "Nine Settlement Valley," comes from the nine Tibetan villages along its length. The park is famous for its brilliantly blue lakes, rushing waterfalls, colorful forests, and dense woodlands set against snowy mountain ranges.
The park features a Y-shaped valley with three main sections: Zechawa, Rize and Shuzheng valleys. The best way to explore is by taking the sightseeing buses that run from the entrance to the three valleys. Visitors can hop off the bus, walk along wooden plank roads to enjoy the sights, and then hop on another bus to the next attraction. Your tour guide will create a smart itinerary based on your time, energy, and the crowd level, allowing you to experience the best of Jiuzhaigou at a comfortable pace.
A classic visiting route involves taking a sightseeing bus to Nuorilang Waterfall. Afterward, take a bus to Zechawa Valley and enjoy a short hike to Five-Flower Lake and Pearl Beach. Next, head to Rize Valley to visit Panda Lake, Five-Flower Lake, Pearl Shoal, Mirror Lake, and more. Finally, return to Nuorilang. Rest at the Nuorilang Tourist Center at the junction of the "Y." After a good rest, spend time exploring Shuzheng Valley. Then descend along Shuzheng Valley to the park entrance, enjoying the magnificent natural scenery interspersed with traditional Tibetan villages along the way.
