7 DAYS / 6 NIGHTS · MOUNTAINS & RIVERS

Pandas, city life and a full Jiuzhaigou park day

Over 7 days, 7-Day Chengdu & Jiuzhaigou Nature Tour links Arrival in Chengdu with Chengdu Departure, taking in Giant panda in Chengdu, Clear lake water and forest in Jiuzhaigou, Toward Chengdu by the confirmed transport arrangement, Wenshu Monastery along the way. Transfer from the airport or station to your hotel. Jiuzhaigou lies mostly between about 2,000 and 3,100 metres; scenic buses link the main valleys, but the boardwalks beside Five Flower Lake, Nuorilang Waterfall and the forest still add several kilometres on foot. Transfer to the airport or railway station with the agreed check-in margin. Eat a warm bowl of yak-beef noodles or Tibetan-style potatoes after the valley walk, and look for the blue-green lake colour against pale travertine rather than trying to count every bus stop. The route is best suited to travelers who prefer a private guide, a named set of sights and time for a proper meal in each place, with the daily emphasis on landscape, village context and unhurried outdoor time. Opening hours, traffic and local access are checked during the trip, allowing the guide to reorder visits when needed.
