Cheapest way to Huanglong from Beijing

Neither direct train nor long-distance bus is available to the scenic area. Chengdu is a good transfer place, but either by bus or train, it takes too long and the cost is not much less than air flight. Considering all, it is highly recommended to directly fly to Jiuhuang Airport and then transfer to a shuttle bus to the scenic area. Try to book a ticket on Travel China Guide, they sometimes offer great discounts.
