Private custom tour for up to 8, west in and east out, on a no-shopping loop with no optional paid extras. In 3 days you cover Siguniang Mountain's Shuangqiao Valley, Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou. Includes 3 retouched photos from a Tibetan dress photoshoot in Jiuzhaigou, oxygen cylinders, bottled water and travel essentials on board, with a relaxed 9am start on day two.
Depart at 06:00 from Qintai Road. Drive via Dujiangyan, Yingxiu and Wolong Nature Reserve, through the Balang Mountain tunnel, to Maobiliang for a panoramic view of the four main peaks of Mount Siguniang (the best photo spot; about 20 minutes to take pictures). Then visit Shuangqiao Valley in Mount Siguniang (entrance ticket ¥80 + shuttle bus ¥70, paid on site; about 4 hours). See Yinyang Valley, Renshenguo Flat, the seabuckthorn forest boardwalk, Bonsai Beach, Siguniang Lake, Hunter Peak, Potala Peak and the redwood forest; dozens of peaks over 5,000 metres and the streams below form a mountain-and-water gallery. Afterwards take the Li-Xiao road to Mao County for the night, passing Liangtai Valley Red Stone Beach (the second-largest red stone beach after Hailuogou) and Da'erpu Haizi snow mountain.
Depart at 09:00 after breakfast at the hotel and head to Huanglong Scenic Area (entrance ¥60 in low season, ¥170 in high season; cable car ¥80 up and ¥40 down, shuttle bus ¥20, all payable on site). Walk the 3.6 km Huanglong Valley, where you'll see the area's celebrated highlights: colourful pools, snow-capped peaks, gorges and forest, along with travertine shoals, old temples and local culture. The calcified pools, including Five-Colour Pool, Welcoming Pools and Flying Waterfall, are arranged in terraces and glow with colour. Afterwards, drive to your hotel in Jiuzhaigou for the night.
After breakfast at the hotel, head to Jiuzhaigou Valley (peak season: ¥190 entrance ticket plus ¥90 shuttle bus; off-season: ¥80 entrance ticket plus ¥80 shuttle bus; not included) for about 8 hours of in-depth exploring, with 3 free digital photos from a Tibetan costume photo shoot included. Jiuzhaigou takes its name from the nine Tibetan villages in the valley. The main valley is Y-shaped, and its 108 lakes are captivating in every season, while snow-capped peaks, traditional Tibetan wooden houses and prayer-flag walkways together create what people call a beautiful fairy-tale world. At 16:00, drive back along the Mianyang–Jiuzhaigou Expressway to Simaqiao Metro Station in Chengdu, where the tour ends.
