Drive from Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport to Huanglong Scenic AreaJiuzhaigou Huanglong Airport - Chuan Zhu Si Town 12km
Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Airport is located 12km east of Chuan Zhu Si Town of Songpan County. Zhuan Zhu Si Town is our first and last stop before we get to Huanglong Scenic Area.
Chuan Zhu Si Town is a tourism booming town. It is a transport hub connecting Huanglong 42km to the east, Jiuzhaigou 60km to the northeast and Chengdu over 300km. Now various hotels and restaurants have mushroomed in the small town. Chuan Zhu Si has become a modern, ethnic plateau town.
We drive along the wide mountain road to Chuan Zhu Si and took a half hour break at a local small pharmacy. Huanglong is located over 3000 meters above sea level. To avoid possible altitude sickness, tourist buses would stop here for a while for people to prep for the travel at high sea level. They sell high-altitude medicine as well as some snacks and baked potatoes.
