Helen from Chengdu - 6 Stars
![]() Helen, our private guide in Chendu, was just the best. An ABSOLUTE 6 Star Guide. She met us from the airport, calmly reviewed out 3 day itinerary, checked all was as we expected, and then spent 3 days ensuring we have the best time possible. Helen was lovely and was very flexible to our needs, and changed a few things for us. She took us on so many unscheduled activities, such as a Local Street Foodie tour, which was just fabulous, and tea in the local park, with ear cleaning, and a “marriage market” (although we couldn’t offload our daughter there !). Helen seemed to be telepathic in understanding what we wanted, and you could see she was thinking and adjusting everything all the time, to suit us. If I was running a Tour Company I would get her to train everyone. Helen from Xian - 6 Stars ******. more

Exploring chengdu
![]() We went to the panda research centre, spent a day exploring chengdu, and took a trip out to huanglong and Jiuzhaigou. Evan was our guide for everything and he was brilliant! I’d highly recommend spending a few days in Chengdu to explore the beautiful city. Evan really gave us an insight into local life and he really did make our trip one to remember! more

Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
Upon arrival at Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport or train station, you will be greeted by our local tour guide and driver who will then transfer you to your hotel in Jiuzhaigou 88 km (55 miles) away in 2 hours.
In order to have more time in the park and avoid crowding, you will start early to discover Jiuzhaigou ('Nine Village Valley') Scenic Area, a wonderland named for its nine Tibetan villages.
You will visit Jiuzhaigou's three main valleys: Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley, and Zechawa Valley. There, waiting for your appreciation, is the picturesque natural scenery of clear alpine lakes, overlapping waterfalls, colorful forests, snowcapped mountains, and blue ice.
Private vehicles are not allowed inside, so your guide will expertly direct you in taking the shuttle buses in the scenic area and touring around. A variety of restaurants are available in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, and your guide will recommend suitable dining places for you. If you like, we could arrange a picnic lunch instead.
After breakfast, take a 2-hour drive from Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong Scenic Area. Huanglong Valley has one of three most outstanding travertine lake terraces in the world. Colorful pools, snowcapped mountains, verdant forests, and a peaceful valley are Huanglong's four highlights.
To save your energy and time, we will arrange a cable car to the valley top, and then walk down the valley to enjoy the fantastic scenery all around you. After about 3–4 hours sightseeing in the valley, we will leave the park and enjoy a local lunch outside.
At the end of the tour, your guide will escort you to Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport or to the train station to your next destination. To allow enough time for Huanglong, a flight departing after 5pm is suggested.
