7 MARCH 2008: JIUZHAIGOU

Day 4: 7 March 2008
Itinerary: Jiuzhaigou

It was snowing in the early hours of the morning, I caught it from the hotel windows.
I thought it would be one of those days but it sure did not turn out that way. It was a day of climatic transitions from snow, drizzle, then sunshine and clear beautiful skies! All in one day! You could not have wished for a day like this even if you wanted to! There were some areas that were closed off due to the snow but most of the key attractions were all there.

The pictures speak for themselves.
Breathtaking beauty truly beyond words!
DREAMSCAPE!

Having breathe the freshest of air, seen the most pristine of waters, lakes and waterfalls, there is probably nowhere else on earth you need to go to see the purest crystal clear waters, lakes or seas. This is THE PLACE to be - period!
They say October-November is the best period to see this place, I think this place radiates with each season. You will see it in a different light in different seasons, that is the underlying allure of this heaven on earth. I began to wonder if Heaven can beat this!

Not sure how long this place could be preserved in its pristine conditions, what with the growing numbers of tourists attracted to this place. But I think this message in the underpass near the Norilang area serves as a timely reminder of the relationship between Man and Mother Earth:


Can Man understand in time to save the Earth and other co-habitants? I wonder?
