Introduction
In case of extreme circumstances, such as adverse weather conditions leading to the cancellation of flights from Jiuzhaigou to Beijing, you may contemplate taking a combination of bus and high-speed train to reach Beijing. However, please be aware that this would entail a rather lengthy journey.
If you’re planning a rail trip from Jiuzhaigou to Beijing, it is important to note that the journey is quite extensive due to the significant distance between the two locales. To make your travel experience more pleasant, consider an overnight stay in Chengdu before proceeding to Beijing by high-speed train the next day. If time does not allow, the alternative would be a direct flight from Chengdu to Beijing.
