Jiuzhaigou & Huanglong private tour
Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong are 100 km apart — both World Natural Heritage sites, but one is about lakes and the other about travertine terraces. This 5-day route compresses both, with a full unhurried day in Jiuzhaigou.

Questions about Jiuzhaigou & Huanglong.
Is five days too rushed?
No — it is deliberately compact: two days in Jiuzhaigou, one in Huanglong and two for transport. If you want the Chengdu panda base as well, take the seven-day version.
Do I need to book tickets in advance?
Both Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong use real-name reservations and often sell out in peak season. We book as soon as your itinerary is confirmed.
Is luggage a problem?
No. You travel by private car with luggage on board; only the Chuanzhusi night needs a small overnight bag.
