Magnificent view on the peak. The tour guide is kind and helpful. Love the details she gave about the natives and repeated reminders on possible high altitude sickness. The driver is careful while driving throughout the journey.

The scenery in Jiuzhaigou is truly magnificent, with both snow and green forests. It feels like experiencing two seasons in one day, which is an amazing feeling! The water in Jiuzhaigou is crystal clear, almost transparent. The boardwalks, snowscapes, and 'haizi' (lakes) are all beautiful. Before I signed up, I saw a comment saying it wasn't very good, but after chatting with customer service, I decided to give it a try myself. It turned out to be quite good, and the travel agency's arrangements were very clear.

I brought my parents here. Traveling by high-speed rail is much less strenuous for seniors! In the past, it took a whole day just to get to Jiuzhaigou, but now we can leave Chengdu in the morning and arrive at the scenic area by noon. At Huanglong Scenic Area, we took the ropeway up the mountain (80 yuan/person for the ascent) and then slowly walked down to see the Five-Color Ponds. Four hours was plenty of time for the visit. On the second day, the sightseeing bus in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area went directly to the core attractions, covering Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley, and Zechawa Valley. We walked about seven to eight thousand steps daily, and my parents weren't tired. Jiuzhaigou in July is lush green, the waterfalls are spectacularly full, and the air is fresh with the scent of plants and streams. Staying two nights at a hotel at the gully entrance meant we didn't have to move our luggage, which was very convenient. My parents enjoyed the Tibetan dinner and even watched a Guozhuang dance. The tour guide didn't enter the scenic area with us, but they explained all the important tips for visiting beforehand, which made the trip quite hassle-free.

We are a group of five senior friends who traveled to Chengdu and Chongqing. Klook travel designer Charley meticulously customized our itinerary, arranging everything according to our interests and abilities, making the overall trip rich in content and comfortable. The local tour teams in both cities were also very professional. Each day, they provided advance weather reminders, allowing us to prepare appropriate attire. Both drivers had excellent driving attitudes, ensuring safety and attentiveness, providing us with several comfortable long-distance travel experiences. Thank you all! The tour guides were also professional and attentive. Nancy in Chengdu and Xiao K in Chongqing gave us in-depth introductions to the local culture, history, customs, and unique attractions of each scenic spot, giving us a vivid sense of both cities and their human history. Thank you again for your care! Overall, the Klook team was very thoughtful in all aspects. Their professional service and enthusiastic attitude brought us unforgettable and joyful experiences during our 9-day trip.

Our Dujiangyan trip was very satisfying, and we especially want to thank our tour guide, Xiao Yong! 😊 Xiao Yong was very meticulous and patient throughout the entire journey. His explanations were also very engaging; he didn't just simply introduce the attractions but also shared many historical facts and local stories, making the whole trip much more interesting. The itinerary was well-planned, and the timing was perfect. He also consistently looked after everyone's needs. We were traveling with children, and Xiao Yong was particularly patient, proactively checking if we were tired or needed a break. Most importantly, the entire process felt relaxed and enjoyable, without any rush or pressure. ❤️ We were very lucky to have met Xiao Yong this time; he is professional and friendly, and his service was truly excellent! If we have the chance to visit Chengdu again in the future, we will definitely recommend Xiao Yong to our friends, and we hope to meet him again next time! 👍🏻 Thank you very much, Xiao Yong, for giving us such a pleasant Dujiangyan trip! 🌿

I have to give a special shout-out to our Chinese tour guide, A Jia! We were scheduled to depart at 5 AM, and she was already waiting at the meeting point more than ten minutes early. On the bus, she had prepared oxygen, and the "travel essentials" (neck pillow, eye mask, earplugs), and she went around asking if anyone suffered from motion sickness. During the three-hour drive, she didn't stop talking, sharing legends about the four peaks of Mount Siguniang, the Jiarong Tibetan culture, the geological formation of Shuangqiao Valley, and even the principles behind the Dujiangyan irrigation system. It was ten times more engaging than anything I could have found researching online myself. The most thoughtful gesture was that she helped everyone pre-purchase their sightseeing bus tickets (70 RMB, self-paid), saving us from waiting in line. Before entering the scenic area, she even drew a tour route map, marking the best photo spots at each stop and suggesting time allocations. Although group tour guides don't enter the scenic area with us, her pre-trip explanation was more than enough for us to fully enjoy our visit.

My friends and I took this route on August 7th, and the entire experience was fantastic. First, let's talk about the pace of the trip. On the first day, we gradually ascended from Chengdu to Mount Siguniang, and I didn't experience any discomfort. Shuangqiao Valley is truly beautiful, with snow-capped mountains reflecting in the lake. The sightseeing bus meant we didn't have to walk much, which was great for our energy levels. On the second day, the prayer flag ceremony at the Yala Snow Mountain observation deck was very ceremonial. Drinking coffee in Gulong Village with the snow-capped mountains as a backdrop created an incredible atmosphere. In the evening at Yuzi West, we were incredibly lucky to see the 'Golden Mountain bathed in sunlight.' The wind was strong at that moment, but everyone held up their phones, unwilling to put them down. On the third day, we enjoyed horseback riding and nomadic experiences on Tagong Grassland. Our driver and guide accompanied us throughout, taking photos without rushing us at all. Three days in heaven for my eyes, and hell for my body? Not at all! The altitude progression was quite scientific, and even though I don't exercise much, I felt fine. The small group made for a comfortable ride, and it was a bonus that no one was seated in the middle of the back row.

What to know before visiting Chengdu

Chengdu City at a glance

Chengdu City draws strong interest for wildlife and cultural experiences, with Zoos & aquariums, Tours and Attraction passes topping bookings on Klook. Demand rises and falls through the year, with a pronounced peak in April and a deep trough in September.

Best times to visit and what to expect

Klook booking data shows April is the busiest month while September sees the lightest demand. Prices drift through the year and — looking at months present in both series — they peak around September and fall to their lowest in May, so price and demand diverge: September is quiet but relatively pricey, while spring months (April–June) combine high demand with more moderate prices. If you want smaller crowds and better value, aim for May; if you want peak-season atmosphere and events, pick April.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States typically book about a week in advance, with flexibility to book as late as one day before for many experiences. For trips in peak months like April, consider securing tours and popular activities a few weeks early to lock in choices; for short-notice or spontaneous plans, many attractions and zoo experiences remain available close to travel dates. Use Klook to compare options and reserve tickets ahead when you need certainty.
