[China Railway Tour] Sichuan Jiuzhaigou Huanglong High-Speed Bullet Train 2-Day Tour
- [Travertine Pool Clusters]: Huanglong boasts magnificent and fantastically colored high-altitude travertine pool clusters. The water in the pools changes into stunning shades of blue, green, yellow, and white with the shifting light and shadows, earning it the reputation of a "fairyland on earth" and making it a rare natural travertine wonder in the world.
- [Coexistence of Snow Mountains and Colorful Pools]: Huanglong is backed by Xuebaoding, the main peak of the Minshan Mountains. The perennial snow-capped mountains, colorful pools, forests, and travertine shoals complement each other, integrating glaciers, canyons, pristine ecosystems, and ancient humanistic temples. The landscape is rich in layers, offering beautiful scenery in all four seasons.
- [Tibetan Village Charm]: The Jiuzhaigou area is home to the Tibetan and Qiang ethnic groups, where visitors can experience rich Tibetan and Qiang customs. They can attend song and dance evenings of the Tibetan and Qiang people, enjoy their unique dance and music performances, such as the Nuo dance and Nanping folk songs, and also taste specialty foods like highland barley wine and butter tea, experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the Tibetan and Qiang people.
- [Colorful Haizi Lakes]: Jiuzhaigou has numerous colorful Haizi lakes, such as Five-Flower Lake, where the water, under the influence of sunlight, algae, travertine, and other factors, displays a kaleidoscope of colors, as if nature has spilled its palette. Sparking Lake gets its name from the sparkling reflections on the water's surface when sunlight shines on it, resembling flickering sparks. Long Lake is the highest, deepest, largest in area, and largest in capacity among Jiuzhaigou's Haizi lakes, with an "S" shape on its surface, and is a glacial dammed lake.
- [Unique Topography]: Jiuzhaigou is a typical karst landform, featuring calcified shoals, lakes, and waterfalls. Bonsai Shoal is the first shoal landscape encountered when entering Jiuzhaigou. On the shallow beach, willows, cypresses, poplars, pines, azaleas, and other plants grow in clusters. Around the tree trunks, travertine deposits form natural embankments slightly higher than the water's surface, resembling groups of bonsai.

** Highlights of the Day's Attractions**
- ✨ Huanglong Scenic and Historic Interest Area | Fairyland on Earth, a Wonderland of Calcareous Formations Here, relying on millions of years of geological evolution and nourished by melting snow, a series of layered, colorful calcareous pools, winding golden sand shoals, and clear, dynamic waterfalls and streams have formed. These are intertwined with primeval forests, alpine meadows, glacial snow peaks, and Tibetan and Qiang cultures. The pool water changes into thousands of colors such as blue, green, yellow, and white with light, season, and depth. The pool banks are like jade, and the water is like a mirror. Every step is a new scene, and every season is picturesque. It combines grandeur, elegance, magic, and tranquility, making it a world-class geological wonder bestowed by nature and a pure fairyland longed for by countless people.
- ✨ Jiuzhaigou is simply like stepping into a dreamlike fairy tale world. Upon entering the scenic area, the sight unfolds like a scroll. The colorful haizi (lakes) are scattered in an orderly fashion among the mountains, as if nature, the magical painter, had overturned its palette, spilling the world's most brilliant colors here. From the clear as a mirror, deep blue Long Lake, to the Sparkle Lake shimmering with "spark-like" light under the sun, and then to the Five-Flower Lake with its interwoven, dreamlike colors, each haizi has its unique charm. They are either tranquil or dynamic, making one dazzled and unable to help but stop to admire, wanting to deeply imprint every shade and every ripple in their mind.
Reviews
This trip to Jiuzhaigou left a deep impression on me. I would like to thank our tour guide Aqiu for her professionalism and responsibility, as well as her warm and considerate understanding of national policies and her love for Aba Prefecture. Her explanation gave us a deeper understanding of this magical land. The scenery of Jiuzhaigou is very beautiful, and she kindly reminded us to pay attention to safety and altitude sickness. Master Zhang also has good driving skills. It was a good trip. Thanks for the arrangement.
Had an amazing 2D1N trip to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong! The scenery was absolutely stunning, and our tour guide made the experience even better – very knowledgeable, organized, and caring throughout the journey. Everything was well-planned, from timing to avoid crowds to making sure we were comfortable despite the long travel. Highly recommend this tour and guide! 🌟
Highly recommended this tour and package! ✨🤩✨🤩 Everything was very well arranged and efficient, from the HSR ticket, to shuttle services to tickets at the attraction sites. 🚝🚌Totally saves me the trouble and hassle of planning and booking. Very suitable for solo traveler! The attraction spots are truly stunning, the Tibetan hotpot meal was very fulfilling, and also so so blessed to have free photography Tibetan service experience included! Totally a must since I’m there already. The hotel provided was top notch too! Tour guide Li Jing was very helpful. As the only international traveler of the group, she ensured that I’m well taken care of.🥹 Her explanation and communication was very clear and precise, and as a local herself, she frankly told us the tourist traps to avoid. After explaining in detail, she texted us again on WeChat so that we get the written message too. Would definitely recommend them!!!
Pls note there are additional expenses of CNY 240 per person not included in the itinerary. The tour leader will not be accompanying the group inside Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. The 2-day, 1-night itinerary is relatively rushed, and you can expect extensive walking at Huanglong. On the second day, after visiting Jiuzhaigou, we were asked to book Didi ride back to the hotel, collect our luggage, and then walk to a nearby hotel (5mins away) to board another bus to the high-speed train station. We arrived back at Chengdu East Station around 11:10 PM.
what an amazing experience we had! the sights was breathtaking with lots of time to explore. for this experience we have to thank our wonderfull guide! not only did she keep us on time she also went out of her way to ensure we had the experience we wanted! I would highly recommend you take this tour to see the wonderfull sights and meet the awesome people that made it so special for us! thank you
The scenery is super beautiful, the tour guide is very careful and well arranged, and the transportation is convenient
It was really worth the trip! I am very happy to participate in this trip. I would like to thank our team leader Li Jing for her considerate and warm arrangement of the two-day trip. She not only provided professional explanations, but also carefully reminded and helped us on the things we should pay attention to during hiking. She also took photos for us during the trip, leaving us with unforgettable memories.
The tour guide 阿秋 is helpful and gives very clear instructions. The driver is very good as well, steady and careful driving through the hilly road. The accomodations provided is better than our expectations. However, we were shock and disappointed with the Tibetan dinner provided as we are not expecting hotpot especially having to share with a group of strangers. And there were no proper seating arrangement. Our group of 6 were split up. Lastly, as we were the only group staying for 1 night only, we were not informed at all that the transportation back to railway station were public shuttle bus. The 2 hr ride was totally uncomfortable with and the driver were "reckless", not to mention that most of the seatbelts were not working. I do not recommend this tour.
The guide was attentive and considerate of foreigners. However, everyone was dissatisfied with the Tibetan food venue. The commemorative photos turned out great. The 4-star hotel was decent.
I am very grateful for the tour guide's careful arrangements. Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou are really beautiful, but two days may not be enough if you want to complete the entire tour!
