九寨沟, Jiu Zhai Gou, China

Finally, we reached the famous 九寨沟, Jiuzhaigou Fairyland that lies about 2,500m above sea level . It welcomes us with a nice, beautiful sun that warms our soul. 九寨沟 got its name bec of 9 tribal villages occupying the valley. Its unparalleled natural beauty: transparent & multi-coloured water in its 108 lakes that is surrounded by abundant forests and snow-capped mountains helped it won two World Heritage titles - 世界自然遗产, 世界生物圈保护区.


Our 1st destination is this 诺日朗瀑布 NuoRiLang Waterfall where we took many beautiful shots. If you look carefully, the water in the waterfall had actually frozen to ice. So, you can see different natural ice scuplture according to your imagination.

Our tour guide went in search of our missing tour mates who could not bear to leave the beautiful place:P
Actually, the place is even more beautiful in Autumn. I recall snapping more than 1000 shots in Jiuzhaigou with my friends 10 years ago using film cameras. If Digital camera was available then, we could have snapped more:P

I also heard that Sept or Autumn is the best time to visit there - most beautiful. But usually it is real crowded, so some disadvantage.

Hey, you can really capture picture well. Beautiful. cheers
