Visit Huanglongxi Ancient Town in the afternoon. Huanglongxi is a 1730-year-old town about 30 km from Chengdu.

Admire old-style wooden facades, cobblestone alleys, and water mills at Huanglongxi Ancient Town, a historically important seat of Ming and Qing dynasty residences. Their roof, with pointed eaves, spot tiles are often encrusted with aged moss, giveing them an aged look that is hard to duplicate.

Jiuzhaigou is a 35-kilometer long valley which includes well-protected virgin forests, 108 clear lakes, verdant mountains, and gorgeous waterfalls and is perhaps the most spectacular natural site in China. Jiuzhaigou in Chinese means Valley of Nine Villages because there are nine Tibetan villages located in this valley. Declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1992, this sacred land lies on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau and it’s famous for its many multi-level waterfalls, colorful lakes and dense forest that are all encapsulated by snow-capped peaks that range in elevation from 2,000 to 4,500 m. (6,600 to 14,800 ft). The Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area is a reserve of exceptional natural beauty with spectacular jagged alpine mountains soaring above coniferous forest around a fairyland landscape of crystal clear, strange-coloured blue, green and purplish pools, lakes, waterfalls, limestone terraces, caves and other beautiful features.

Day 4 Huanglong Scenic and Historic Interest Area, Fly to Chengdu
Visit Huanglong National Park. Huanglong is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in China. It is without a doubt an essential visit in Western China. The name of Huanglong can be translated as ‘Yellow Dragon' due to travertine terraces having several kilometers in length (sometimes they can be referred as cascades) and shimmering gold in the rays of the sun. All these features make it look like a sleeping mythological creature. The main attraction is the chain of natural pools filled with completely transparent water that run along the Yellow Dragon Valley. These pools offer a unique spectacle of turquoise terraces surrounded by a dense forest. In addition to the beautiful pools, in the nature park, you will find waterfalls and hot springs. This beautiful valley surrounded by snow-covered peaks has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992. Fly to Chengdu (airfare at your own expense) at night.

Here you can find rivers, lakes, brooks, ornamental green lawns and greens, wild bamboo forests which form the panda’s natural ecological environment. You can closely observe the giant pandas of different ages resting, eating and drinking, playing with each other, using enrichment toys, or watch female pandas nursing their cubs in the nursery rooms.
