Welcome to the fairyland Jiuzhaigou. Upon arrival at Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport, you will be greeted by our local tour guide and driver who will then transfer you to Huanglong Valley directly (40 km/1hr).

Situated in the Minshan Mountains in northwestern Sichuan Province. Huanglong Valley is a travertine ridge that gradually rises from south to north, and the terrain is very much like a lofty dragon, resting in the crystal embrace of snow peaks and glaciers. Based on the grand surface travertine landscape, it is the world's largest, best preserved and colorful karst landform classic. Scenic spot: Huanglong Headquarters.

At the top (3556 m) of the valley lies the best highlight - Five-Color Ponds. The upper half of the pool is blue, the lower half is orange-red, colorful, small and exquisite, and the five flowers of the Rize Ditch is comparable.

There still a long way from the entrance and Five-Color Ponds. If you choose to hike, it may take you 6 hours. But we don’t recommend that, it is time-consuming and frustrated, we highly suggest you to take cable car directly to the top, and then walk down the Valley to enjoy the scenery.

After about 3-hour sightseeing in the valley, you will leave the park and drive about 2 hours to Jiuzhaigou to check in your hotel.
