Located in the Nanping County, in the Sichuan Province, the Jiuzhaigou Valley
in China gets its names form the Nine Tibetan villages that surrounded it; the
word "Jiuzhaigou" translates as 'Nine villages'. The Jiuzhaigou Valley
in China holds the crown for being the "Wonderland on Earth"; and rightly
so. That the beauty of this valley is truly entrancing is a common opinion of
every one who has made it to the Jiuzhaigou Valley in China. In fact, when
you visit the ethereal country of China, of the many places that feature in your
itinerary, the Jiuzhaigou Valley in China should be one. Declared a World Heritage
Site by UNESCO in 1992, the Jiuzhaigou Valley in China is also a National Park.
Exploited by illegal logging and poaching until the year 1979, the government
finally converted the Jiuzhaigou Valley in China in 1982 to put an end to such
detrimental practices and also to further the diminishing species of plants
and animals that are still to be found there. The Jiuzhaigou Valley in China
occupies an area of 240Sq Km and is filled not just with animals, plants, birds,
hills and ravines, but also scintillating numbers of spectacular lakes, gorges,
cataracts, brooks and waterfalls. Most of the landforms are the result of glacial
and tectonic activities that took place millions of years ago. The soil content
is mostly calcium carbonate. Some of the main attractions in the Jiuzhaigou
Valley in China are: the Penjinghai Lake or "Miniature Landscape Lake",
the Huohahai or "sparkling Lake", the Magic Mirror Cliff, the Long
Lake, the Shuzheng Group of Lakes, the Nuorilang waterfalls, the Pearl Shoal,
the Luweihai or "Reed Marshes", the Panda Lake Waterfall, the Swan
Lake, the Hanging Dagger Spring, the Five Color Pool and the Wuhua Hai or "Five
