Jiuzhaigou Travel Guide
Nestled in northern Sichuan Province, Jiuzhaigou (Jiuzhai Valley) is a gem among China's attractions. With its mesmerizing waterfalls, azure lakes, snow-clad mountains, and vibrant forests, it earned UNESCO World Heritage status in 1992, further protected as a National Nature Reserve and National Geographic Park. The name "Jiuzhaigou" translates to "Nine Village Valley," originating from the nine Tibetan villages in the region. To explore this natural wonder, there are accessible routes through the three main valleys, spanning around 80 kilometers in total. Walking paths, scenic buses, and dining options ensure a convenient and enjoyable visit. However, Jiuzhaigou remains somewhat isolated, with limited flights from Chengdu and other major domestic cities. Overland travel is possible from Chengdu in the south and Lanzhou in the north, though it may be challenging for those prone to motion sickness. Since its reopening after the 2017 earthquake, Jiuzhaigou has implemented daily visitor limits. Join our Jiuzhaigou tour, and we strongly recommend booking early to secure your visit.
