Chunxi Road

At the north end of Chunxi Road, stands a group of bronze statues. An old man dressed in traditional Chinese garments holds a snuff bottle in his hand. Not far from him a modern young lady in fashionable clothes is walking in a hurry. A stone clock statue is between them, with the time showing 00:00 on February 10, 2002, the date when the reconstruction was completed. The statue of the old man represents the businessmen of Chunxi Road from the past, while the stylish lady represents modern young people. The contrast between them reflects the development of this road.
Walking along the street, you can see a granite-built wall carved with relief sculptures which present eight scenes of Chengdu in the Tang Dynasty (619-907): a temple fair, a flower fair, the Lantern Festival, planting hibiscus, picking mulberry leaves, rinsing brocade, weaving brocade, and brewing alcohol. In front of this wall, are another group of colorful statues imitating tourists from different regions.

You can take a direct bus to Jiuzhaigou at Chadianzi Bus Station. There are three buses a day leaving at 8:20, 9:30, and 10:00. The bus fare is CNY135 or so and you will arrive at Jiuzhaigou in around 8h.

Since you will spend 72h there, personally accommodation in downtown can be a better choice. Due to your demands, I suggest you stay near Chunxi Road like Seven Days Inn and Home Inn, which is easy for dining, shopping and sightseeing. In addition, staying near Tianfu Square is also a good choice. The transportation from/to airport is quite convenient. At last, if you still wish to stay near airport, the Airport Hotel nearby is suggested.

Well, you can just walk to your hotel directly. Getting from the Exit A of Chunxi Road Metro Station, walk southwest along 4th Section of Hongxin Road around 550 yards. Then you can easily find the destination. Hope helpful!
