JiuZhaiGou - 1997 World Heritage in China

JiuZhaiGou - Mirror Lake

You will know that someone said that The Heaven is on Earth is true. Mostly when we see pictures of travel scence, they are often less beautiful than the real. But JiuZhaiGou is different. Any photos or video can't explain how much it is wonderful. It's very pure and virgin. There are few western visitors who have been there. You have to be there.

There are the legend that "A long ago , There was a boy named Dage was in deep love with Woluo Semo , a beautiful goddess. One day, Dage gave his love gift - a mirror made out of wind. It turned out that , because of interference of an unexpected evil, the goddess broke the mirror, and pieces scattered on the human world and turned into 114 crystal-clear and gem-like lakes inlaid among mountain forests . Henceforth, here we have Jiuzhaigou, the Fairyland on Earth."

It is located in the north of Sichuan Province. The name Jiuzhaigou came from nine Tibetan villages scattered throughout the valley. Its attraction lies in its simple, idyllic beauty; a fairyland, primitive and natural and still in its pristine state. With majestic and unrivalled emerald lakes, layered waterfalls, colourful forests, snow peaks and Tibetan folk villages, all blending in harmony with each other - it is nature's jewel set into the mountains.

Location: 32°54' to 33°19'N; 103°46' to 104°4'E
