Be careful NOT to disembark from the bus until the end-stop. The bus will only stop for visitors in the RETURN trip. If the bus does stop, it was for the local villagers living in the park to disembark (and the bus driver would'nt care to tell the tourists!!) More

Went with a tour group. Tour bus stopped us at a carpark (no tour buses allowed past a certain point), and thereafter we had to walk for about 15-20min along the sidewalk and through a tunnel to the entrance - my elderly parents found it tiring on the return trip after a long day of sightseeing in Jiuzhaigou. The natural... More

The scenery is beautiful and the whole area a delight to visit. It's very well planned with private buses to move people around the park and miles of well constructed wooden pathways. Opportunities for photography are excellent and one can choose how much walking to do. The altitude is quite high and we did experience a little bit of light... More

It's all about expectations. We had spoken with many relatives who said that Jiuzhaigou was just spectacular. And indeed it was beautiful, with clear, emerald green lakes, big granite mountains, and many waterfalls. However, we expected something more akin to Yosemite National Park which we have visited over a dozen times in California. Jiuzhaigou's granite mountains are not nearly as... More

Be careful in Jiuzhaigou : - 30% of the park is not accessible or under work (in april 2012) - total cost to go there (plane, park entrance, hotal, bus...) doesn't worth it - millions of chinese go there just as in Disneyland, without respect to nature, silence and the beauty of this park Nevertheless, the valley scenery are beautiful More

This is my second trip to Jiuzhaigou, it's a definite must-see if you are in Sichuan or on your way to Tibet. It's like experience all four seasons in one day. The top is all covered in snow, then as you go down, it changes to Autumn clours, then it's all green and lush like Summer, then at the bottom... More
