Introduction
By Flight
It is a very long-distance to travel between Kunming & Jiuzhaigou. To make the journey as efficient as possible, the fastest method is to fly to Chengdu and then take a connecting flight to Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport (JZH Airport), followed by a bus ride to either Jiuzhaigou or Huanglong Scenic Area.
By Train + Bus
If you prefer a land route, consider taking the high-speed train. You’ll need to start by boarding a high-speed train from Kunming Station or Kunming South Station to Chengdu East Station (Chengdudong, Chengdu Dong), and then transfer to another high-speed train bound for HuanglongJiuzhai Train Station, the nearest railway station to both Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong scenic areas. Upon arrival at HuanglongJiuzhai Station, take the scenic area shuttle bus, which takes about half an hour to reach Huanglong and about two hours to reach Jiuzhaigou.
Given the considerable distance, it’s advisable to spend a night in Chengdu during your transfer or explore the city before continuing your journey.
