| Jiuzhaigou & Huanglong Hiking Guide.
🌟Departing from Chengdu, take the high-speed train to Huanglong Jiuzhai Station, then transfer to a shuttle bus or hire a private car to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. Stay overnight in Chuanzhusi or near Jiuzhaigou for easy access to the scenic areas the next day.

🌟Jiuzhaigou Hiking Route: Nuorilang Center Line, Chang Hai direction, and Primeval Forest direction. Check in at Nuorilang Waterfall, Tiger Lake, the Shuanglonghai boardwalk, Reed Lake, and Five Flower Lake. The hike takes about 5 hours. Jiuzhaigou is at a high altitude, so it is recommended to bring a warm jacket, water, and snacks.

🌟Huanglong Scenic Area: Take the cable car up, then a sightseeing bus, and walk to the Five-Color Pool. Hike down from there. Must-see attractions include the Five-Color Pool, Zhengyan Pool, and Bonsai Pool. The entire journey takes about 5 hours, covering approximately 20,000 steps, with a 4.2 km downhill hike. The Huanglong Scenic Area is at a high altitude, and some visitors may experience altitude sickness, so it is recommended to bring oxygen. Also, sightseeing bus tickets need to be booked in advance, as they are limited to 5,000 per day.
