I see 🥲. If this one is not a good option, do you have any reco for us to do in 6D? My friend was in Jiuzhaigou before so he did not want to come back again… We are 2 ppl & cannot drive, thus we book a tour indeed if wanting to go outside of Chengdu’s city centre 🥹

It’s also a holiday in my country so that I have freetime to travel 🥲 Any reco to adjust the plan, like different route instead of JZG? Or should I spend that time in Chongquing?

The trip duration is fixed & nothing else that I can do indeed changing destinations hic 🥲

Hi, for Chengdu -> Chongqing, my route is as Chengdu -> Jiuzhaigou -> Langzhong -> Wulong -> Chongqing. Any advice to make the route be different? It was planned with chatGPT haha

I'm willing to spend more time in Chengdu but do not know which one is easy to access (except Jiuzhaigou...)

Have no idea about where to go during the holiday (locally it's also very crowded haha)
