Hi everyone

I am going to JiuZhaiGou on a group tour during 2nd week of April. Can anyone tell me about the Internal Shuttle Bus? Is the name "Huan Bao Che"?

Tour Agent says that we must pay to use the Huan Bao Che. Does he mean that we charter an Internal Shuttle Bus that will go wherever we want? Is that type of bus the same as the Internal Public Bus (both= Huan Bao Che), only that it's available for charter?

I am going with an elderly person (75 yrs old). Is the distance between each scenic spot very far? Like 2 - 3 KM or only 200 m each?

We are going to stay at JiuZhaiGou Paradise Hotel (Jiu Zai Tian Tang). Is it very far from the park itself?

Thanks a lot and appreciate ur help.

Hi hi

I have just answered my own questions while online. Tian Tang (paradise) Hotel is 20km away. I guess it's quite far from the national park.

What are the opening hours of the park? I also read that we have to arrive by 12 noon. Is it true?

Lastly, is there transport from the Paradise Hotel to the Park? How long does it take and how much should I expect to pay?

Thanks!

Internal shuttle bus=Internal public bus, that's the only one available in the park,but very convenient.
You may take the shuttle to the next scenery/stop, more than 200m in distance between different spot.
You have to call a taxi to the park, 20-30 minutes drive.

Huanbaoche = Internal Public = Internal Public Bus, which is the only inside vehicle for tourists. High frequency,comfortable but very crowded in queue during holidays.

Though it's alternative, you may need it anyway, especially with an elderly person. Distance betweend scenic spots vary from 200m to a few kilometers.

The others have answered before me. But I have some pictures on my Jiuzhaigou page.

Hi guys

thanks a lot for your advice. I am flying off tomorrow! to Chengdu.

Will be staying at Sheraton Jiu Zhai Gou.

I have heard that it is possible to charter a van inside Jiu Zhai Gou to get around. Hopefully I can get that for my grandmother.

It's only sensible to hire a van for yourself if you have a big group eg tour group. Otherwise, I don't see any problem with taking the normal shuttle buses.
