Safety Considerations for Elderly Travelers at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

Hello, we are traveling with my parents and we have some safety concerns about Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
1. If my parents feel uncomfortable at higher altitude or decide not to take the cable car to Glacier Park, is there a place where they can rest while waiting for us?
2. Could the driver take them to Ganhaizi Meadow for a walk while we visit Glacier Park?

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We completely understand that when traveling with parents, having a comfortable backup plan is very important, especially for a high-altitude destination like Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. 

If your parents decide not to take the cable car, they can rest at the visitor center area while waiting. However, please note that due to the transportation regulations inside the scenic area, our vehicle can only park in designated parking areas outside the cable car station area. This means the driver cannot take your parents to Ganhaizi Meadow and then return to the cable car station afterward, as the vehicle would need to leave the area and may need to queue again for parking access.

Our suggestion would be to let your parents rest comfortably at the visitor center or nearby areas while the rest of the family visits Glacier Park. Our guide and driver will also help coordinate the timing so everyone can reunite smoothly.

We will always try to arrange the day in the most comfortable way according to your family's situation.

More Than We Expected

This trip exceeded our expectations. We originally booked because of Zhangjiajie, but Jiuzhaigou became our favorite part. The colors of the lakes and mountains were unbelievable. Everything from booking to the final airport transfer was handled professionally.

Wonderful experience with a very friendly guide

The scenery at Longji was breathtaking, especially with the clouds around the mountains in the morning. Our guide Leo was the highlight of the trip. He was professional but also felt like a friend traveling with us. He shared local stories, recommended good viewpoints, and took many great photos for our family. The company was also very responsive when we changed our pickup location last minute. Really appreciated the flexibility.
