El Viaje a Jiuzhaigou y Huanglong Jiuzhaigou (Nine Village Gully) derives its name from the nine villages in the gully. Jiuzhaigou is well-known for its lakes, waterfalls, beaches, rivers, snowy mountain peaks, forests and local Tibetan customs. It is honored as "fairy-land on earth" and "fairy tale world" for its unique primeval beauty, different scenes in different seasons, rich animal and plant resources.
Huanglong (Yellow Dragon) is known as "the heavenly scenery on earth". The clear snow-broth flowing down from the high, far snowy mountain forms clear, shallow and sparkling pools with a tier upon tier. The pools surrounded by dark green forests set off snow-white ice peaks and reflect a riot of color all over the place.
Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong were approved to be one of the world natural heritages by the UNESCO in the year 1992. |
