Jiuzhaigou (九寨沟) lies about 450 km north of Chengdu, in the mountains of northern Sichuan. Most travellers reach it overland by coach, on a scenic mountain drive of roughly 8 to 10 hours that escorted tours break over several days with stops along the way; some itineraries fly into Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport instead (about a 50-minute flight from Chengdu). 九寨沟位于成都以北约450公里的川北山区。多数游客乘车经风景山路前往（车程约8至10小时，跟团行程通常分几天、沿途游览），部分行程搭乘飞机进入九寨黄龙机场（成都飞约50分钟）。
