[quote=GAFFER,361570]We were travelling in Chengdu, Jiuzhaigoua and Huanglong in 2007 before the earthquake. I was informed by locals that altitude in the area was in excess of 4000m, they also advised buying some Chinese herbal anti altitide sickness pills which I did and didn't seem to suffer any adverse effects other than shortage of breath and increased heart rate, which I expected. Not sure if they worked or if I would not have suffered problems anyway. My partner (who didn't take the pills) complained that she had a little difficulty concentrating at times (but she didn't seem any different from usual to me ;o) We took the cable car (if it is still there) part way up Huanglong then walked the rest at a steady pace taking plenty of rests on the many benches provided. Most of the older tourists purchased oxygen cans at the store and seemed to use them. We walked all the way down and had a most enjoyable day there. Sorry I can't comment on any road access.[/quote]
