Jiuzhaigou was listed in the UNESCO in 1992. Being praised as a land of fairy tale, this famous site has been attracting tourists with its exquisite mountains, opulent forests, multicolored lakes, cascading waterfalls and a great variety of wildlife for years. It is known for the nine Tibetan villages within its boundary. The alpine lakes are just like incredibly huge silent mirrors reflecting the multiple colors of the ground and the sky, making it a huge crystal jade embedded in the snow mountains and virgin forests.
Jiuzhaigou has 108 lakes. Some lakes have a high concentration of calcium carbonate, and their water is very clear so that the bottom is often visible even at high depths.
The lakes vary in color and aspect according to their depths, residues, and surroundings. In different seasons, you can see the curious color patterns of blue, light green, dark green, turquoise, emerald, light yellow, russet, and crimson.
Jiuzhaigou is home to 17 multi-level waterfalls. All these beautiful natural wonders are always connected with the beautiful lakes. The forests of Jiuzhaigou contain at least 2,000 species of plants.In fall, the leaves turn into reds, yellows, oranges, browns and all the forests create a colorful fairyland!
