Direct train from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou, a popular family-friendly winter vacation destination

Everyone, you must take your kids to Jiuzhaigou during the winter vacation. The experience is simply amazing! The Five-Color Pond surrounded by snow and the spectacular Nuorilang Waterfall are breathtakingly beautiful. 😍 There is also a ski resort nearby. I took my kids on a family trip to Jiuzhaigou, and I am sharing this super practical guide with you. Itinerary: Day 1: Chengdu - Songpan Station - Jiuzhaigou: Take a high-speed train from Chengdu 🚄, and arrive at Jiuzhaigou Station in two hours. There is a shuttle bus 🚍 waiting for you at the station, which is super convenient. I thought I would have to wait for other tourists, but it turned out that only my family and my friend's family were in the group, so we enjoyed a private tour at a low price. 👏 We arrived at Qixiagou Ski Resort. My kids and I are beginners, haha. We stayed at a 5-star hotel 💎 that night. The kids were so happy that they wanted to stay longer. Day 2: Explore Jiuzhaigou: Immerse yourself in Jiuzhaigou ✨, and check in at the Five-Color Pond surrounded by snow. The colorful pond looks like a fairyland in a fairy tale. 🌊 The ice and flowing water of Nuorilang Waterfall complement each other, showcasing the wonders of nature. 🎇 There are also the magnificent Long Lake, the beautiful Arrow Bamboo Lake, and other attractions, all of which are unforgettable. 💕 Day 3: Return: Get up early 🌄 and go to Zhongcha Valley to experience the simplicity and enthusiasm of the Tibetan people. 🙌 There are also various entertainment facilities on the mountain, so the kids can have a great time. 😄 We finished the tour at noon, packed our luggage, and returned to the hotel. 🚗 We returned to Chengdu in the evening, where we could continue to enjoy the food. 🍜 Pre-trip guide to avoid pitfalls, don't make mistakes 💣 Be cautious when shopping in scenic areas 🛍️: Don't buy jade, herbs, etc., sold in Tibetan villages or convenience centers in Jiuzhaigou. 🙅‍♀️ Buy souvenirs in regular shopping malls or supermarkets, where the quality is guaranteed. Prepare oxygen bottles in advance 🥼: If you are worried about altitude sickness, be sure to buy oxygen outside the scenic area in advance. It is slightly more expensive in the scenic area. Free hot water 🥤: There is free hot water on Nuorilang Food Street, so feel free to get some. No need to hire a tour guide 🙅‍♂️: The professional guides on the Jiuzhaigou sightseeing bus provide detailed explanations. You can learn about the attractions by listening carefully, so don't waste your money. We departed from Chengdu this time, and the whole experience was great. The shuttle bus was comfortable and cool, according to the kids. The driver was experienced and helped us avoid many pitfalls. I must give him a thumbs up. 👍 Click on the Trip.com card below to find the great small group tour I booked. Sisters, don't hesitate. Take your kids on a family trip now. 👶💨 Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area
