Step 1: Travel Options from Leshan to Jiuzhaigou Area

Update: While one direct high-speed train (G5786) now connects Leshan Station / Emeishan Station to Huanglong-Jiuzhaigou Station (for Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong), it departs after 5:00 PM and arrives around 8:47PM. For most travelers, we still recommend transferring via Chengdu East Station for better schedule flexibility.

Take one of 8 daily high-speed trains from Leshan Station to Chengdu East Station first, then connect to a train to Huanglongjiuzhai Station. Remember to allow at least 30 minutes for transfer before continuing to Jiuzhaigou.
