wow! that is quite a trip
i am.in.Chengdu.and would like to.go.to LJ soon as well

i do not.think that i would want to.bike, but it could.be fun to.hike part.of it!

if.anyone knows to.hiking options, then please.let me.know

wondered if.i.took.the.bus to LJ from Chengdu what would be the most.scenic option?

any.hotsprings along the way?

By bus, they won't allow you to get off and have fun at certain scenit spot. So you can only see the scenery in the bus. Therefore, it is in vain to know a hot spring on the way. Anyway, the Ancient Town, Mu's Residence and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are must-sees in LJ. For hiking, my friends tried the way to Tiger Leaping Gorge.
