buses in Jiuzhaigou park

To ensure the free flow of visitors throughout the park and to protect the environment , private cars ( except those of park residents) are not permitted within the park. A fleet of buses are the only vehicles allowed to transport visitors within the park. This is the most efficient way to transport visitors around the park and to protect the delicate environment at the same time . 

There are over 70 km of eco-friendly wooden trails throughout Jiuzhai Valley National park . Not only do these trails increase the sustainability of tourism in the park by reducing the impact of visitors on the environment, they also maximise visitors enjoyment by facilitation walking through the  National Park to sites not visible from the road. They bring you to within inches of our famed lakes and waterfalls. In the forests, on the side of the lakes opposite the road, walking though the park is even more peaceful. If you have a second day in the park you can do the reverse of your first day 's route and walk on the paths that you didn't see the previous day to get a completely different view of the park
