1. From T2 of Shuangliu Airport, take metro line 10 to Taipingyuan and transfer to line 7 to East Railway Station.
2. Only two trains run between daily. As Jiuzhaigou is about to welcome its peak season, Chengdu - Zhengjiangguan train is not easy to book then. It is advised to book with travelchinaguide days in advance. The ticket costs CNY 106-116 for Second Class Seat.
3. You can visit Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong by yourself. You can explore Jiuzhaigou first and take a direct bus to visit Huanglong. Entrance fee for Jiuzhaigou is CNY 220 from April to November, for Huanglong is CNY 170.
