The vast expanse of southwest China is home to countless natural wonders. Jiuzhaigou is undoubtedly a must-see destination for Americans traveling from afar. There are not only breathtaking natural scenery, but also unique human customs and rich history and culture, waiting for every explorer's footsteps.
On a hot summer day, I decided to say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city for a while and drove to Jiuzhaigou to start a trip. After a few hours of driving, I finally arrived at this legendary wonderland. I was hesitant before I set off, after all, Jiuzhaigou has a reputation for being full of tourists, but when I actually stepped into the land, all my concerns vanished.
I chose to stay at an inn in Zhangzha town called Yue Yun Ya Ge. Although the price was affordable, the facilities and services of the inn exceeded my expectations. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedsheets emitted a fresh scent, which made me feel the warmth of home. The owner of the inn was also very warm and considerate, not only driving me to the entrance of the scenic spot, but also providing me with many practical travel suggestions.
Early in the morning, I stepped into the gate of Jiuzhaigou with excitement. The natural scenery here is simply breathtaking. As the scenic bus drove slowly, I seemed to enter a colorful world. The Changhai of Zechawa ditch, like a deep blue gem, set between the mountains. The lake water is crystal clear, sparkling, as if it can wash the dust in the human heart.
The colorful pool is even more amazing. Although the water is slightly dry because of the drought and little rain in the early period, the unique beauty of the pool still makes one's heart flutter. Pool water presents a variety of colors, blue, green, yellow intertwined, like a fine painting. I stood in the pool, a long time do not want to leave, just want to remember this beauty forever in my heart.
Next, I came to the Rize ditch. Here the primitive forest trees cover the sky, emitting a wealth of negative oxygen ions. I took a deep breath, as if I could feel the vitality and vigor of nature. The sunlight poured onto the ground through the gaps in the leaves, creating dappled light and shadow. The grass shone with emerald green color in the sunlight, and the stream flowed happily beside it.
Panda Sea is one of the highlights of Rizegou. The fish here swim freely in the water as if they don't care about the presence of tourists at all. I stood at the edge of the lake and quietly observed them. These alpine cold water fish look small and delicate, it is said that the largest will not exceed half a catty weight. Watching them play happily in the water made my mood happy.
Pearl Beach Waterfall is another beautiful landscape in Jiuzhaigou. The waterfall is like a silver chain pouring down from the mountains, splashing up layers of water. The sunlight shines on the water surface, creating a colorful light effect. I stood next to the waterfall and felt the cool sensation of the water droplets splashing down on my face, as if all my worries had been washed away.
Of course, Jiuzhaigou has more than just natural scenery. The humanistic flavor of the place is equally fascinating. During the tour, I met many Tibetan and Qiang friends. They enthusiastically introduced the culture and history of their hometowns to me, giving me a deeper understanding of this land. In the inn, I also tasted the authentic Tibetan and Qiang food, and the unique flavor is still unforgettable to me.
In the evening, I returned to the inn. In the barbecue store downstairs, I savored the delicious barbecue and barley beer. The breeze brushed my face, bringing a hint of coolness. I looked at the mountains in the distance and the lights in the near distance, and my heart was filled with satisfaction and tranquility.
This Jiuzhaigou trip was an unforgettable experience for me. I not only appreciated the magnificence and magic of nature, but also felt the unique charm of humanities. I believe that Jiuzhaigou will also be an unforgettable travel experience for our American friends who come from afar. Here, you can not only enjoy the stunning natural scenery, but also get a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and history. So, if you have the chance to come to Southwest China, don't miss the beautiful place of Jiuzhaigou.
