Plan your visit

Getting around the park

Bus:

Jiuzhai Valley National Park provides a shuttle bus service to transport visitors around the park. Busses start running at 7am when the park opens and run until the park closes. Jiuzhai Valley busses drop off and pick up visitors at each of the scenic spots throughout the park. You are free to get on and off busses as frequently as you like once you have purchased a bus ticket.

Walking:

There are over 70km of eco-friendly wooden trails throughout Jiuzhai Valley National Park. Not only do these increase the sustainability of tourism in the park by reducing the impact of visitors on the environment, they also maximise visitor enjoyment by facilitating walking through the national park to sites not visible from the road. In the forests, on the other side of the lakes and away from the road, walking through the park is even more peaceful.

It is possible to get the bus to the top of one of the park’s valleys and walk all the way out. This should take the best part of one day. If you would like to walk all of the three valleys two full days would be required.
