Breaking News: Traveling to Jiuzhaigou is now easier than ever! The high-speed train from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou is fully operational, allowing you to board a bullet train from Chengdu Dong Station (成都东) to HuanglongJiuzhai Station (黄龙九寨站) in about 1.5-2 hours.

Travel to Jiuzhaigou Valley and Huanglong National Park, two of China's most magnificent natural wonders, where every turn of your head unveils a breathtaking spectacle. Discover a world where nature's palette bursts with colors so vivid they seem almost unreal. Jiuzhaigou Valley, often referred to as a "fairyland," sprawls across the northern part of Sichuan Province. It's a place where emerald lakes mirror the sky, waterfalls cascade down rugged cliffs, and dense forests echo with the whisper of wind and wildlife. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is more than just a feast for the eyes; it's a retreat for the soul. A two-hour drive from Jiuzhaigou brings you to Huanglong National Park, an equally enchanting place famed for its colorful calcite deposit terraces. The park's name translated as "Yellow Dragon," is an homage to the golden hue of these terraces, reminiscent of a dragon's scales. When you choose a tour of Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, you're not just signing up for a trip; you're embarking on a journey of discovery and wonderment, a journey that will stay etched in your memory long after you've left these magical valleys behind.

Planning Your Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Tours from Chengdu

It's a good idea to spend 2-3 days visiting Jiuzhaigou. Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong are located in northern Sichuan, about 425km from Chengdu. The opening of the high-speed train between Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou has made travel significantly faster. We highly recommend taking the train from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou. Upon arrival at Huanglong Jiuzhai Station, you can first visit Huanglong National Park, which is only 30 minutes away. Then, spend another full day exploring Jiuzhaigou National Park.

In addition to the high-speed train, travelers can also reach Jiuzhaigou by flight (approximately 1 hour) or by car (around 8-10 hours). We recommend spending 2 or 3 days in Jiuzhaigou to fully explore both Huanglong National Park and Jiuzhaigou Valley.

What a 30-Day China Adventure — Exceeded My Expectation

I recently completed the “30 Days China Tour from Beijing” with Asia Odyssey Travel, and as someone from Singapore, I found it to be an exceptional experience.

Starting in Beijing, everything kicked off seamlessly — airport pick-up worked well, and our guide made us feel comfortable right away. Over the month we moved through a very broad selection of China’s landscapes, cities, history and culture. From the imposing Great Wall of China and Forbidden City in Beijing to ancient capitals, ethnic minority regions, high-speed train rides, rural scenery and modern metropolises.

Some of the highlights for me:

Visiting the Great Wall early in the morning when it was quiet and feeling the scale of it in person.
Seeing ancient city walls, historic towns and temples that really brought Chinese history to life.
Travelling by high-speed train across regions — the logistics were smooth and we always arrived on time.
Staying in a mix of city hotels and countryside guesthouses which gave variety.
Getting to try regional cuisines — from northern Beijing specialties to southwestern flavours, each region surprised me.

Destination(s): Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Chengdu/Sichuan, Guilin/Yangshuo, Zhangjiajie, YangtzeRiver, Xinjiang, Dunhuang/Gansu

An Incredible 21-Day China Experience - Eye-Opening & Seamless

I recently completed the “21-Day China Tour from Shanghai” with Asia Odyssey Travel, and as a traveler from the U.S., I found the journey both impressive and very well managed.

Starting in Shanghai, our arrival went smoothly — airport pick-up, a comfortable downtown hotel, and a friendly local guide who helped us get oriented right away. From there, the itinerary took us through a carefully curated mix of China’s highlights: we explored ancient towns, visited imposing historical monuments, traveled on high-speed trains and domestic flights, and experienced both modern cities and scenic countryside.

Some of the standout moments for me:

Walking through the old-city lanes and seeing the contrast of modern skyscrapers and traditional architecture.
Visiting iconic landmarks (palaces, temples, historic walls) that helped me appreciate China’s deep history.
Getting a taste of regional cuisine — from street-food stalls to more refined local restaurants — and discovering how varied Chinese food is.
Being impressed by the logistics: the hotels were well chosen, transport connections worked without major hiccups, and the guides were knowledgeable and professional.

I highly recommend this tour to fellow American travelers. It offers an excellent balance of history, nature, and city life — all arranged in a smart, hassle-free manner. Thanks to Asia Odyssey Travel for making it an unforgettable experience.

Amazing 30-Day Journey Across China — Well Organized and Truly Worth It

I just came back from the 30-Day China Panorama Tour from Guangzhou with Asia Odyssey Travel, and it was truly one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever joined.

From the moment I landed in Guangzhou, everything was well-coordinated. The local guide greeted us at the airport and made us feel welcome right away. We started with classic Cantonese highlights like the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, Lychee Bay, and traditional dim sum — a great introduction to southern China’s culture.

The route that followed was impressive. We cruised along the Li River in Guilin, cycled through Yangshuo’s peaceful countryside, and admired the Longji Rice Terraces. In Yunnan, Dali and Lijiang’s old towns were full of character, with snow-capped mountains in the distance. Chengdu was all about pandas and Sichuan food, Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong looked like scenes from a painting, and Chongqing’s mountain city views were unforgettable. The trip ended with Beijing’s Great Wall and Forbidden City, and Shanghai’s skyline — the perfect contrast of history and modern life.

Everything ran smoothly throughout. The guides were professional and friendly, the hotels were clean and comfortable, and transportation was efficient. My personal highlights were sharing bamboo rice with local villagers in Longji, standing by the turquoise lakes of Jiuzhaigou, and watching the city lights in Chongqing after dinner.
