In previous years it had been difficult for visitors to get there due to its isolated location, however this is no longer a concern due to the construction of the Jiuzhaigou Ring Way which links the reserve with Chengdu and the Jiuhuang Airport, and has made gaining access to the park a great deal easier. Jiuhuang Airport operates direct flights to/from Chengdu and Chongqing at present. About the transportation inside the county, there were sightseeing buses in the Jiuzhai Valley. However, the buses are suspended because the scenic area is closed now due to the earthquake. There is no train service now. However, Jiuzhaigou Railway Station, which is under construction, will open in 2019 along with the operation of the Jiuzhaigou - Chengdu Train.

Sightseeing Bus Inside Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area
Visitors need to take the sightseeing bus to visit the Jiuzhai Valley National Park and the bus fare is CNY 90. In order to conserve the fragile ecological environment, sightseeing buses in the scenic area are powered by natural gas. These buses help prevent pollution of the beautiful environment and make sightseeing on the trip a great deal easier.

Sightseeing bus routes start at the entrance gate of the valley, with scheduled stops arranged around the valley's main attractions. Visitors can get on and off the buses at any of the stops in the valley. It is worth noting that the larger buses can only be taken at designated stops. Thus if tourists do wish to get on a bus further along the route then they should aim to catch the medium-size vehicles. The buses start running at 07:00 when the park opens and stop running when the park closes. Make sure that the tour schedule is planned accordingly.

Below are two main bus routes:
1. Entrance – Bonsai Lake – Reed Lake – Shuzheng Valley (Shuzheng Waterfalls and Shuzheng Lakes) – Rhinoceros Lake – Nuoriland Tourists Center – Zechawa Valley – The Long Lake – Entrance
2. Entrance – Bonsai Lake – Reed Lake – Shuzheng Valley (Shuzheng Waterfalls and Shuzheng Lakes) – Rhinoceros Lake – Nuorilang Tourists Center – Rize Valley (Panda Lake, Pearl Shoal Waterfalls etc) – Entrance
