 Jiuzhaigou
Valley, reputed as a fairyland, is located in Jiuzhaigou
County of the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Nationality Autonomous Prefecture
in Sichuan Province. An integration of green lakes, multi-layered
waterfalls, forests and snow-mountains with Tibetan culture
and customs, it become a well known scenic area and a natural
reserve for wild animals and plants in China with its naturally-endowed
and uniquely beautiful sceneries. It was listed in the World
Natural Heritages in 1992. The green and golden trees, the lofty
and multi-shaped mountains and the clear and colorful waters
constitute the unique beauty of Jiuzhaigou while the water of
Jiuzhaigou is the soul of its beauty. So, there goes the saying
: No mountain is worth seeing after you have seen Mount Huangshan
and no other water will interest you after you visit to Jiuzhaigou
Valley.
The waters of Jiuzhaigou
Valley are widely known for their crystal-clearness, pure transparency
and rich colorfulness. The mountains, waters, grass, woods, animals
and birds here all are keeping their simple primitiveness without
a single trace of artificiality. In the Y-shaped valley embraced by
mountains are dispersed 114 terraced lakes and many shoal-rapids and
waterfalls gradually flow from the heights to lower places in the
green mountain valley, winding 50kms, with the blue sky, the white
snow mountains and green forests mirrored in the clear lakes, forming
a realm of integration of man and heaven against the primitive water-mills,
stockaded villages and the forest of Buddhist streamers

In autumn all the mountains are tinged with red by tree leaves, which
is extremely beautiful against the deep blue lakes
Autumn is the most magnificent season of all
in the Valley. The breeze is intoxicating, while the leaves turn
crimson on the trees. The colorful red autumn leaves and woods are
reflected in the sparkling translucent lakes - the fallen petals
float in the water. The remote sky is clear and bright. Your eyes
are filled with the most beautiful view of the natural world.
