Spend a full day immersed in the breathtaking beauty of Parc national de Jiuzhaigou named after the nine Tibetan villages scattered along its 35‑km valley on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. The park’s scenery unfolds across three valleys – Rize, Zechawa, and Shuzheng – forming a striking “Y” shape. Your journey highlights its most dazzling water features, from the vibrant, multicolored waters of Five Flower Lake to the dramatic cascade of Pearl Shoal et Pearl Shoal Waterfall. As you continue, marvel at the mirror‑like surface of Rhino Lake, the tranquil charm of Tiger Lake, the tiered splendor of Lacs Shuzheng et Shuzheng Waterfall, and the shimmering reflections of Sparkling Lake.

Veuillez noter: The Jiuzhaigou National Park Shuttle Bus is the compulsory and most practical form of transport for navigating the vast park, as private vehicles are prohibited. These eco-friendly buses run continuously along the park’s main “Y”-shaped route, stopping at all major scenic spots within the Rize Valley, Zechawa Valley, and Shuzheng Valley. Upon boarding at the park entrance, your bus will head toward one of the two upper forks (Rize or Zechawa), and you will be directed to change buses at the central Nuorilang Tourist Center to complete your itinerary.

Avis sur le mal d'altitude: Zone panoramique de Huanglong
Les visiteurs de la zone pittoresque de Huanglong doivent être conscients que son altitude – allant d'environ 3,100 à plus de 3,500 mètres – peut rendre le mal d'altitude possible. Les étincelantes piscines de travertin et les vallées boisées de la région se dégustent mieux à un rythme détendu, laissant à votre corps le temps de s'adapter. Rester hydraté, se tenir au chaud, et éviter les activités physiques intenses aide à réduire l'inconfort. Si vous ressentez des symptômes tels que des maux de tête, des étourdissements, des nausées, ou un essoufflement, faites une pause et reposez-vous. Si les symptômes s'intensifient, il est important de descendre à une altitude plus basse et de demander de l'aide au personnel ou à d'autres voyageurs.

Repas inclus: Petit-déjeuner à l'hôtel, déjeuner & dîner dans des restaurants halal
Hébergement: Hôtel local Fushan 4 étoiles (Équipé d'une fourniture d'oxygène complète) ou similaire

Embark on a scenic 3.5-hour drive toward the rugged majesty of Mont Siguniang, famously known as the “Alps of the East.” Le nom “Siguniang” translates to “Four Maidens or Four Sisters,” inspired by the four soaring peaks that resemble four sisters standing gracefully side-by-side in the clouds. À l'arrivée, spend the afternoon exploring Shuangqiao Valley, the most diverse and accessible branch of the mountain park. A convenient sightseeing bus will transport you through 35 kilometers of breathtaking glacial scenery, including the towering redwood forests and serene alpine meadows. Whether you are strolling along the boardwalks or capturing photos of the snow-capped Potala Peak, this day provides a seamless immersion into Sichuan’s high-altitude wilderness before you retire to your oxygen-equipped hotel.

Avis sur le mal d'altitude: Mont Siguniang
When visiting Shuangqiao Valley, you will reach elevations between 3,200m and 3,800m, where altitude sickness is a common risk. To help your body acclimatize, move at a relaxed pace, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous activity or alcohol during your first 24 heures. If you experience symptoms like persistent headaches, des étourdissements, or nausea, return to your hotel immediately.
