Located in Jiuzhaigou County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province - Jiuzhaigou
It is a nature reserve and a national scenic spot🎨
It is also listed as a World Heritage Site
It is also known as "Fairy Tale World" and "Fairyland on Earth".
The valley is named "Jiuzhaigou" because there are nine Tibetan villages in the surrounding mountainous area.
The highest altitude is about 4,800 meters, and there are different forms of forest ecosystems.
There are lakes, waterfalls, snow-capped mountains and forests in the area🏔️
The landscape of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is mainly composed of three main valleys: Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley and Zechawa Valley.
Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has charming scenery in all four seasons
The season I visited Jiuzhaigou was autumn.
With the colorful changes of leaves, colorful
Picturesque scenery 🏞️
Too beautiful to be real
Jiuzhaigou experienced a major earthquake
Self-repairing by nature’s magic
The water of Jiuzhaigou is the soul and signature of Jiuzhaigou.
Because of pure cleanliness and crystal clearness
Hence there is a saying: "After visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won't look at water anymore."
The lakes of Jiuzhaigou are close to the forests.
With the clear water, you can see the sky, clouds, snow-capped mountains and colorful forests reflected on the lake.
The altitude of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is over 2000 meters.
The highest Changhai is 3100 meters
In Changhai, I only had a little shortness of breath and a faster heartbeat (when climbing stairs).
Basically, there is no obvious altitude sickness.
However, everyone's physical condition is different, so for safety reasons, it is better not to do strenuous exercise.
