There’s not much to say about a one hour car journey, but the views from the roadside between Huanglong near Songpan and Jiuzhaigou rivalled those of the JiaJinShan pass on the way to Four Maidens.

Hey Steve! Awesome pictures.
I’m currently living in Beijing and I would like some tips. You took a flight to Sichuan and than travel by car to Jiuzhai Valley? How did you manage to arrange that?
Tkss!
We hired an excellent driver, recommended by H’s relations in Sichuan. When we went he said he was retiring very soon, so probably isn’t available any more sadly. The best way is probably to search through the Chengdu/Chongqing (or wherever you’re flying into) expat forums and ask for recommendations.
Prices are quite high if you get a driver plus 4×4.
The alternative is just to fly into Songpan and take a taxi to the valley.
Hi, these pictures are absolutely stunning!!
I would love to know – what kind of camera are you using?
I will be spending quite a bit of time in these areas of sichuan over the next few months and have no camera to speak of.
Thanks, Grace.
Mostly with a Canon 5D SLR, but also a Canon S100 compact, which is great for travel as it has a GPS and tags the location of any photos
