The natural beauty of Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong was stunning, but what made the trip special was learning about the local Tibetan culture. Our guide shared so many interesting stories about the history and traditions of the area. The mix of nature and culture was perfect. I left with a deeper appreciation for this part of China
Spent four days in Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, and it was pure bliss. The scenery was breathtaking—calm lakes, lush forests, and those stunning terraced ponds in Huanglong. I enjoyed taking my time, soaking in the views, and just relaxing. The pace of the tour was perfect, not too rushed. Highly recommend for anyone who loves nature and wants to unwind:)
Just got back from the 4-day Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong tour, and it was absolutely epic! The crystal-clear lakes and waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou were like something out of a dream, and Huanglong’s colorful ponds were surreal. I loved the hiking—it was challenging but so rewarding. The guide was fantastic, full of energy and great stories. If you’re up for an adventure, this tour is a must
Jiuzhaigou reminded me of the serene beauty of Hokkaido, but with its own unique charm. The Five-Color Pond in Huanglong was breathtaking—it felt like stepping into a painting. The tour was well-organized, and the food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the local Tibetan dishes. A perfect blend of nature and culture
Had a ripper of a day at Dujiangyan! The pandas were unreal—so much fun to watch. The irrigation system was pretty mind-blowing too; it’s crazy how advanced it was for its time. The guide was a legend and kept things interesting. Definitely recommend this tour if you’re in Chengdu
J’ai adoré la visite de la base des pandas à Dujiangyan—ils étaient si mignons! Le système d’irrigation était impressionnant, surtout avec son histoire ancienne. Le guide était très compétent et parlait bien français. Une journée parfaite pour découvrir la culture et la nature chinoises!
The Dujiangyan Panda Base was amazing—my kids couldn’t stop smiling! The irrigation system was interesting, but I wish there was more time to explore it in detail. Still, it was a great way to learn about China’s ancient technology. The guide was friendly and made sure we were comfortable
The pandas at Dujiangyan were so cute—it reminded me of visiting Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, but way more up-close! The irrigation system was impressive, especially how it’s still used today. The tour was well-organized, and the guide explained everything clearly. A great day out
Loved the Dujiangyan Panda Base—the pandas were so playful and adorable! The Dujiangyan Irrigation System was fascinating too; I had no idea it was over 2,000 years old. Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the history come alive. Such a unique mix of nature and ancient engineering
Amazing city and an awesome tour with Julia! 100% recommended. We visited the Dujiangyan Panda Base and the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, and it was really enjoyable
