Train station to jiuzhaigou

Do the entrance/bus combo offered on trip.com include the bus transfer from the train station or is that a separate bus ? If so, where can I buy the tkt for this transfer train station/park?

When traveling to Jiuzhaigou by train, it’s important to understand how the transfers from the train station to the national park work. The park is located about 88 kilometers from Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Airport and roughly 90 kilometers from the nearest train station (Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong Train Station), so a bus or shuttle is needed to reach the park entrance.

Regarding the entrance/bus combo tickets offered on platforms like Trip.com:

  • These tickets often include both the park entrance fee and a scheduled shuttle bus from a central pick-up point, but they usually do not include transfer from the train station. The included bus is typically from major hotels in Jiuzhaigou County or from nearby bus stations, not directly from the train station.
  • Transfer from the train station to the park is generally considered a separate service. You will need to arrange a taxi, private transfer, or a local shuttle bus from the train station to the park’s official bus station or your hotel.
  • You can buy tickets for the train station to park transfer in several ways:
    • Through local travel agencies in Jiuzhaigou County or online through platforms that offer shuttle services from the train station.
    • Directly at the train station upon arrival, where there are usually ticket counters or information desks offering shuttle services to hotels or the park.
    • Some hotels in Jiuzhaigou also provide pick-up services from the train station if you have a reservation.

Tips:

  • Check the timing of your train arrival and ensure you have a transfer planned, as shuttle buses may operate only at certain hours.
  • If your Trip.com ticket includes a bus from a hotel or main bus station, you might need to first get to that location from the train station.
  • Booking a combined transfer and park ticket locally can sometimes be easier, especially if your Chinese language skills are sufficient to communicate with local providers.

In summary, the Trip.com entrance/bus combo typically does not cover direct transfer from the train station, and you will need to arrange this separately either via a local shuttle, taxi, or hotel service.
