[quote=GUEST11147,269136]i have been to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong.  went without a tour group.  Basically, once you get to either place, you just follow the routes.  You can get there by bus or plane from Chengdu.  If I remember correctly,the bus takes about 10 hours or so, but often there are rock slides and other causes for traffic jams.  Juizhaigou is about 300 rmb for 2 days, including the bus pass (you almost need the bus pass) that gets you around the park.  We stayed in the park, which is technically forbidden, with the locals for 40 yuan a night.  There isnt much to do in the park after sundown, but its cheap and you can get a fairly early start.  there are places just outside the park that are more expensive.  You only need a day to visit huanglong (or at least 1 valley- I only visited the one) and the price is 200 yuan.  From the airport, you can go to a nearby village and stay at a hostel or hotel and takes buses or hire drivers to both places, which can take up to an hour and a half, if you find a close village.  The bus from Chengdu will probably take you right to songpan village or another nearby village.  Granted, I went with a chinese speaker, which really helped.  But I think if you prepared well and know a little chinese or wrote the characters you need, you could do it alone.  There is an official Huanglong site (forget the name) that explains the details of that park.  It is quite a distance from Jiuzhaigou, at least an hour, and I would reccommend at least 2 days for juizhaigou and 1 for huanglong.  Also, taxi rides to the parks, which can be pricey, would be less money if there are 4 of you.  The parks and transportation arent cheap, so depending on the tour group prices, it may just be easier to do it alone.[/quote]
