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.
