History Tour in Jiuzhaigou
Every street in Jiuzhaigou carries echoes of the events that shaped it. Stand in front of Five Flower Lake and the past stops being abstract — the buildings, monuments, and neighborhoods survived to tell their tale. Quieter sites like Primeval Forest hold stories that the crowds at the major monuments never hear.
Jiuzhaigou Valley, named for the nine Tibetan villages within it, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Sichuan at elevations between 6,560 and 14,760 feet. The valley's 114 lakes are famous for their extraordinary colors — turquoise, emerald, sapphire — caused by calcium carbonate deposits, algae, and the surrounding vegetation. Ancient tree trunks are preserved in crystal-clear water, creating an underwater forest effect.
