Jiuzhaigou Travel Reviews on Tripadvisor.com

We visited the south west of China including Kunming, Cheng Du, Jiuzhaigou, Shangrila and Xian. Our Chinese travel agency was China Discovery (Cheng Du Bamboo International) Our main contact there was Vivien Li who took care of everything for us and made our trip a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend her to all intending tourists to China.

Me and family want to visit china but our time is very limited. So i searching travel agent which can arrange the place that we would like to visit jiuzhaiguo and zhangjiajie. And later i have choose China Dicovery as our tour agent to arrange our trip. Within 8 days, we have visit Chengdu, Jiuzhaiguo and Zhangjiajie. They have arrange airport transfer and train pick up. So their service is very recommended if you want to travel without hazzel. For lunch and dinner we can make a choose what the food we like and just paid the add on from their budget.

We are traveling to China in October 2023 using private tour services from China Discovery. We wanted a customized tour so we used a private tour, because we don't speak Chinese so it was a bit difficult to travel alone.

From the start, from asking, they were very responsive. Vivien as a tour consultant was very helpful and very responsive in answering all our questions and emails. He helped create an itinerary and customized the itinerary according to our wishes.

The price is much more expensive than regular tours because it is a private tour but it is very worth it.

The tour went smoothly and almost everything was according to the itinerary, there were some adjustments due to circumstances. Everything is well organized. Starting from pick-up and transportation used while there.

The tour guide used was also quite good. Everyone uses English, although there are some whose English is not clear, it is still natural and understandable. Special kudos to Sarah our guide in Chengdu who helped with every effort to organize Wechat. This is very important, without it we would have experienced many difficulties throughout the tour. Also to Lobsang our guide at Shangrila, who is very good at taking photos and very communicative. Guides in other places are also friendly and helpful.

Maybe the guide in Jiuzhaigou needs to explain more about each object in Jiuzhaigou and be more proactive, but the people are quite nice and friendly.

Thank you for giving souvenirs, we didn't expect to get souvenirs.

Overall we are very satisfied using China Discovery's services.

My husband & I had just came back from our 1st personalized tour with China Discovery to Chengdu, Leshan, Mt Emei, Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou and would like to share our wonderful experience and service offered to us, since we engaged China Discovery based on many past reviews. It was a 9D/8N itenary.

First and foremost, I would like to say that we are truly glad to have Wonder Wang as our tour consultant as he managed to understand and construct a full tour package from only my input (communication through various emails) on places of interest and personal preferences.

I must say the services provided to us from day 1 to day 9 were superb, nothing more to ask.

All hotels arranged for us were excellent, Dorsett, Howard Johnson, etc. No complain. Tour timing at each places of interest were well planned. Jane and Mary as our tour guides, both were very service oriented, warm & friendly, & helpful in every areas.

Overall, my husband and I enjoyed our holiday in Chengdu and Jiuzhaiguo tremendously. We had such a joyous and memorable holiday from seeing the adorable Pandas, eating the delicious meals and yummy snacks, awe in the magnificent beauty of lake, mountains and waterfalls.

Thanks to Wonder Wang and team.

We are so delighted and satisfied with China Discovery.

Thanks again.

I was initially hesitant about using an online travel agency, but the numerous positive reviews for China Discovery encouraged me to try their services. This turned out to be an excellent decision – they are genuinely one of the best travel agencies I've encountered, no exaggeration!

Our consultant, Rita, was outstanding. She even responded to my emails during New Year's! Despite the short notice and a last-minute change I requested, our itinerary was efficiently organised and finalised just three days before departure. Rita's patience and willingness to accommodate our needs were truly remarkable.

Upon arrival in Chengdu, we were greeted by Jane, our tour guide. She was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to assist us in every way possible, making my family and I feel exceptionally welcome.

Our journey included visits to Jiuzhaigou and Chongqing, and in each city, we were guided by different, yet equally impressive guides. Every experience was remarkable, thanks to their expertise and knowledge.

Moreover, the accommodation was excellent; we stayed in very comfortable hotels in every city. I wish I could delve into more details, but to keep it brief – my family and I thoroughly enjoyed every single aspect of our experience with China Discovery.

I wholeheartedly recommend China Discovery and will definitely be booking with them for my next visit to China. They made our trip an unforgettable experience!

We enjoyed the tours arranged by China discovery. Our Travel Consultant Rita is very helpful. Our Returned flight from Jiuzhaigou was cancelled due to adverse weather condition. She monitor the flight status closely and made alternative arrangement for our return to Chengdu. Our Tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable, and our drivers are friendly and careful.

Recently returned from a private tour to Chengdu, Leshan, Emei, Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. China Discovery and particularly our contact, Wing, handled all aspects of the planning and support in an outstanding way, including a last minute change. Response times were quick and the tour, local guides and drivers were very good. Overall a memorable trip. Thanks Wing!

My daughter arranged an extremely varied 8 day tour for me through Tracy Tan of China Discovery. The first three days were spent around Chengdu, including the panda breeding, Dujiangyan irrigation scheme, Qingcheng Taoist mountain, Leshan giant Buddha, and local markets and parks in Chengdu. This was followed by the highlight of the trip, a one day tour of the Jiuzaigou National Park, which, as a hydrologist, I thought was the most wonderful water feature that I had ever seen around the world ! After a quick introduction to Chongqing we boarded the Victoria Anna ship, for a memorable cruise through the Yangtze River gorges, culminating in a private tour of the Three Gorges Hydroelectric Dam site on the last day.

The whole tour was excellently managed by Tracy; I particularly liked the company’s flexibility, allowing an interchange of day’s itineraries at short notice when I felt unwell, and then replacing a late cancellation of an internal flight with a suitable car and train alternative to ensure that I did not miss the departure of the cruise ship. All the guides, Sarah, Peter, Ken and Jacky were excellent and very knowledgeable, and their respective drivers very safe and professional.

I was a bit disappointed by the side trips offered during the cruise, but this might just have been the dull overcast weather experienced on those days. Other highlights were the evening shows on the cruise with an excellent compère, eating green tea ice cream on the road to Leshan, viewing the red pandas closeup, and watching the illuminated skyscrapers from the ship departing Chongqing in the evening.

Remember to take some very warm clothing to view the Jiuzhaigou National Park during the best season of the year (late Oct-early Nov), when the foliage colours are best, as the previous week they had experienced snowfall there, and the hotels are unheated !!

Also suggest another attraction which has just opened in Chengdu, and might be worth adding to the tour itinerary - the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum located in Pidu District - housed in a wonderful modern out-of- this-world building, which would be a good contrast to the notable historical sites that were already included in the tour.

Wing Zeng was our travel consultant and she was responsive and patient in replying to our questions, as well as making changes with the travel arrangements requested by us. We are happy with the tour guide and driver and had a wonderful trip.

Driver was great. Guide knew his way around. Explored lesser known gems like Langmusi, Ruoergai, Waqie, and Songzhou. Spent another 5 days in Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou. See my video compilation on skypixel.

This agency was reliable. My consultant was Mr.Wonder, he helped me to arrange excellence trip and answer me my questions clearly. My guide was Mr.Evan, he was so nice guy with good service-minded. If you are finding tour agency in Chengdu, I recommend China Discovery.

Ms. Wing Zeng from China Discovery was very prompt and enthusiastic in helping with the planning of my Jiuzhaigou/Chengdu/Chongqing/Wulong trip in September. I picked the local tours that I was interested in and China Discovery weaved the locations into a 2-week itinerary with transport and accommodation included. The local guides were also very friendly and knowledgeable, which made our trip very rewarding and memorable.

Long China trips for not-so-young people

Four of us in our 60-80s have recently returned from our 25 days trip (26.08-19.09) covering [1] Datong, Hanging Temple, Pingyao Ancient City, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda of Fogong Temple, Hukou Waterfall, Xi’an, [2] North Xinjiang (Urumqi Bazaar, Ulungur Lake, Hemu Village, Kanas Lake, Rainbow Beach, Guozigou Bridge, Sayram Lake, Karajun Grassland,Tekes County aka BaGua City), [3] Chengdu (Leshan Giant Buddha, Emei, Ya’an-Kangding,Luding Chain Bridge, Panda Tour), Huanglong Valley, Jiuzhaigou Valley, [4] Zhangjiajie, Fenghuang Ancient Town and finally, Beijing (on our own, 3 nights).

Above 4 group of sightseeing points are customized and planned with Ms. Wing Zeng of China Discovery with her friendly and professional suggestions and helps as well as personalized responses. Her selections of 7 tour guides (and drivers) all along the routes are mostly fine, who are knowledgeable in the subject matters involved, helpful and have tried their best to answer our numerous questions along the tours. This is in contrast to previous 2 China tours (of two members in our group) with other travel agency where the tour guide(s) were primarily taking them from one point to the next without too much “explanations”. Nevertheless, more “understandable English”-speaking guide (in 1 instance) would help non-Chinese-speaking tourist to enjoy the program more completely. Also, Chinese breakfast with western alternatives would be a plus for some of us (not so easy to adjust to the lifestyle of other country?).

The whole trip is of course no doubt tiring. Fortunately, at the end, we do “overcome”. And all of us are happy with the services rendered to us by this Chengdu-based China Discovery, with which we are connected via WeChat to Ms. Wing Zeng to deal with any unexpected issue arising out of the long trips without any problem as she has immediately, sovereignly reacted to the situation to address them.

We would highly recommend those who want to visit China to take the services of “China Discovery” based in Chengdu with their team of professional travel consultants like Ms. Wing Zeng into consideration to enjoy the trips less hassle.

Attached are some of our travel pictures to share the happy moments of this trip:

Mr Wonder Wong is the best travel consultant. He answered all my questions and helped made all the arrangements for us. We are a group of 5, including one grandma and 3 children. The entire trip went smoothly. The guides are fantastic and the drivers are very safe. Highly recommend the company.

We planned a 3 week round trip together with China Discovery and then booked there.

Already during the planning our wishes were taken into account individually. I said what we would like to see and the trip was put together accordingly.

In addition, we received documents that facilitated the application for visas. I was a little skeptical at first, because we had to transfer the fees in full before the start of the trip, but everything worked out perfectly on site.

We had a guide in each city who picked us up from the airport or train station and took care of us on site. The hotels, tickets and transportation were all booked by China Discovery. We did not have to worry about anything.

At lunchtime, the guides usually picked out a local restaurant and advised us on local specialties. This was also included in the tour price. China is really worth a trip and offers besides great culture, beautiful landscapes as well as modern vibrant cities. There is something for everyone here.

We have been to China many times (Chinese Family living overseas) but wanted to plan our six cities / 11-day visit with China Discovery to ensure my 80-year old parents would have a customized, comfortable, and smooth experience. Johnson Wang worked with us to provide a great plan including some off the beaten path locations. We had several interactions with Johnson as we planned our trip, he was very supportive and understood our needs to keep our plans flexible when traveling with older parents. Great hotel selections, wonderful tour guides and Drivers, very comfortable private cars provided. Bi-lingual experience with Chinese and English travelers. Johnson was great providing beyond expected support when we had issues getting cash from ATM machines in China. I highly recommend China Discovery for a memorable time in China !

My family & I did a 7 day custom Chengdu & Jiuzhaigou private tour with China Discovery.

Our travel consultant, Rita, had been very patient with our questions, changes & requests (God knows we had many).

She had booked us with 2 really good local guides, Ellen at Chengdu & Mary at Jiuzhaigou. They were very patient & attentive to our needs & preferences with regards to the tour destinations, timing recommendations, & eating at local restaurants to taste the local cuisine.

When we visit China for holiday again, we will make sure to contact China Discovery for a custom tour. Highly recommended.

couldn't have done it better any other way. thanks to Johnson who was my planner for my trip to chengdu and jiuzhaigou, 6d5n. we went to all the places that we wanted to see (Sanxingdui, panda base, leshan buddha, jiuzhaigou, huanglongxi old town), and it was executed very well. both tour excorts were great, but Kevin of chengdu in particular. we were very well taken care of and he's so willing to share what he knows with us, one of the most friendly storyteller we've encountered. Johnson also helped book 銀芭 for dinner which was perfect and a must try if you're a foodie like me. i wouldn't hesitate to use their services again for my next trip to china.

It was our Nst trip with China Discovery. They know well how to get away from the crowd during the peak season. Our trip advisor Rita was very helpful, responsive and agile to our personal requests. Looking forward to the next trip with them.

We booked a ten day tour of Sichuan, Chongqing, and Yangtze River cruise with Tracy. Even though Tracy had only a few days to plan the tour after Covid restrictions were eased, everything was organised impeccably. It was a fantastic mix of sights and experiences, some that we wouldn’t have thought of by ourselves, but with flexibility so we could adjust the schedule to our preferences. Local guides in each place were excellent, and accommodation of high standard. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be definitely booking again with China Discovery.

China discovery programmed 19 days within China for our family.

Our 2 kids,my wife and myself had an amazing time in Chendgu, Guilin, Zhangjiajie and their surroundings areas.

Organisation was just perfect. Our guides were very nice, kind, flexible and also supportive!

Thanks a lot !

I went to Jiuzhaigo and Huangshan recently with a very good assistance from China Discovery Ms. Rita Jiang. Everything arranged by them including flights, hotels, transports, and the Covid QR pass. The local tour guide Mr. Jerry at jiuzhaigo and Ms Selina at Huangshan guided me through the most beautiful places in the world. Thanks to them.

We had the pleasure to travel in September to Sichuan for a 9 days private trip in Chengdu, Mount Emei, Jiuzhaigou, Dujiangyan. Thanks to Jack for flawless organisation of guides , Jerry and May, transportation, visits and hotels booking. May shared her knowledge and passion about this province of China, in a perfect way; she s was great guide and support in any circumstances. We had the opportunity to discover Sichuan culture and food. It was an incredible trip, from pandas to landscapes and chinese history. We would recommend Jack and our guides Jerry and May without hesitation. Laurence and Sylvain

Amazing trip through China. Jack was easier to work with and adjusted my schedule as needed. He was professional and it was worth the money for a tailor made tour. The English speaking tour guides were outstanding and the drivers were safe and cars clean. The accommodations were clean and had good service.

I happened to be handled by Mr Wang, it turned out that the person was very friendly and good service

Too bad with Covid19, the paid tour had to be canceled

and the money was returned 100 %

Other times when I going tour China, I'll definitely contact Mr Wang from Chinadiscovery. com

This is a retrospective review, I went on a 6 days / 5 nights private tour to Chengdu / Jiuzhaigou. I spent 2 days in Chengdu and the rest in Jiuzhaigou valley.

Since it was my first trip to China and I was a single female traveller, understandably, I was initially apprehensive before the tour. However, all my initial reservations disappeared once my tour began. I have decided to go on a private tour because I could not find a group tour which can come up with the itinery that I wanted.

From the onset, it was a pleasure to deal with Wonder. He made me a detailed itinery, specific to my wishes, down to the hotels that I preferred. I must say that he has honoured and stuck to our contract throughout my tour. He also phoned my tour guides on a daily basis just to make sure the itinery went on as planned and to make sure that I was ok. He was contactable at all times and any problems were sorted out very quickly and efficiently. He was also very accommodating and was willing to make changes in my itinery at very short notice whenever possible. I have found him to be reliable and trustworthy.

The tour guides were all very professional and knowledgeable. I was very happy with them. They spoke fluent English and were very knowledgeable about the places that we visited. They took care of everything, from meeting me at the airport, check- in into hotels, arranging for meals, transport, tickets for shows and checking in for my return flights. I was impressed that they would go out of their way to make my tour comfortable, hassle free and really tried to give me a memorable holiday. They were prepared to work till late evenings. As a matter of fact, they would wait for me while I watched some shows in the evenings and one of them was even so kind to buy me an adaptor which I had lost in a hotel.

Jiuzhai Valley is an extraordinary, beautiful park. It is my personal opinion that 2 full days are required to do the park justice. It is difficult to rush through the scenic spots in a day especially when there are massive crowds and queues everywhere. It was worth it to pay the hefty entrance fee for 2 days.

I was especially pleased that on one occasion, my tour guide took me through a small path, away from the tourist crowds. We walked at our pace and saw some smaller lovely waterfalls and lakes. I did not have to jostle with the typical crowds and could take my time to take some truly picturesque photos and videos. I am convinced that if I had joined a group tour , I would not have been able to see and explore the national park as much as I did.

Be prepared for massive crowds, they can get unruly at times, especially when it rains, so do bring a raincoat or umbrella. Also be prepared for the less than ideal toilet facilities. Bring lots of tissues and handwash as tissues are not provided.

Due to my excellent and friendly tour guides and Wonder's meticulous planning, I had a fabulous holiday and a great time in China. I would highly recommend Wonder Wang and his tour agency to all my friends and family. If I return to China, I would certainly go through Wonder and his agency again. So, a big thank you to Wonder and all my lovely tour guides for making my holiday a truly memorable one!
