Jiuzhaigou
The most fantastic landscape of the trip. This scenic area is a full day bus ride north of Chengdu and quite popular with Chinese tourists. We walked around all day and there was still more to explore. It's a high alpine valley with lakes, pools, and falls containing crystal clear water that takes on many hues depending on the light conditions. We also visited Huanglong Mountain which is a more isolated spot at an even higher altitude. It was a few hours hike to a temple and then back down.Click on thumbnail to view larger image
