How to get to and get around Jiuzhaigou
As Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic Area is located at the far northeast of Sichuan Province, isolated from other cities, it was quite difficult for travelers to visit this famous spot in the past. However, the journey to Jiuzhaigou is now a great deal easier since the construction of Jiuhuang Airport and the building of Jiuzhaigou Ring Way, where a deep chasm has been turned into a thoroughfare.
