On a sunny morning, the Smith family from the United States – father Jack, mother Amy and their two children, 14-year-old Leah and 10-year-old Tom – stood at the entrance to Jiuzhaigou with great anticipation, ready to embark on their long-awaited adventure. Jiuzhaigou, known as the “Fairyland on Earth”, attracts tourists from all over the world with its unique natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, and the Smith family was captivated by its charm.
The Jiuzhaigou Administration has implemented a series of rules and regulations to ensure the safety and experience of visitors. These rules are not new to the Smith family, as they know that when traveling in a foreign country, it is vital to follow local rules and customs. They wore masks, had their IDs ready, and underwent a temperature test at the entrance to the scenic area. After confirming that everything was normal, they stepped into this magical land with great joy.
Jiuzhaigou's scenic area is laid out like a giant Y. The Smiths decided to visit Shuzheng Gorge first, one of the main gorges in Jiuzhaigou, famous for its magnificent waterfalls and turquoise lakes. They rode the scenic environmentally friendly buses through the winding mountain roads, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. Leah and Tom excitedly pointed out of the window and kept asking their parents questions, while Jack and Amy patiently answered the children's questions while not forgetting to capture every wonderful moment.
As the eco-vehicle slowly moved on, they arrived at Shuzheng Qunhai. This is a landscape of several lakes of different sizes with crystal clear water reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and the surrounding green mountains. Leah and Tom couldn't wait to run to the edge of the lake, excitedly picking up the rocks around the lake and throwing them into the lake with a splash. Jack and Amy, on the other hand, sat on a bench by the lake, quietly enjoying the peaceful and beautiful scenery and feeling the magic of nature.
Next, the Smith family decided to head to the Five Flowers Sea. The Five Flowers Sea is one of the most beautiful lakes in Jiuzhaigou, famous for its colorful water. They walked slowly along the wooden trestle, enjoying the primitive forest and wildlife along the way. Suddenly, a cute little squirrel jumped down from a tree, causing the children to cheer and chase. By the Sea of Five Flowers, they saw the lake's colorful water in the sunlight, as if it were a huge gem set in the valley.
During their adventure in Jiuzhaigou, the Smith family also sampled the local cuisine. They visited a Tibetan family home and enjoyed a Tibetan-style clay hot pot made with yak bone soup and local ingredients such as yak meat and slices of Tibetan-spiced pork. The cuisine was not only nutritious, but also had a unique flavor that delighted them. While tasting the food, they also enjoyed the song and dance performance of Tibetan compatriots and felt the rich Tibetan cultural atmosphere.
In addition to enjoying the natural scenery and tasting the food, the Smith family also pays great attention to environmental protection and public health. They strictly abide by the regulations of the scenic spots during the tour, do not litter, do not spit, and throw the discarded masks into the special garbage garbage cans. They know that protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility and obligation, and only by working together can we protect this beautiful land.
Toward the end of their adventure in Jiuzhaigou, the Smith family posed for a photo in front of Norilang Falls. This waterfall, the widest in China, rushes down on a summer day and is magnificent. They marveled at the ingenuity of nature and the unique charm of Jiuzhaigou, as well as the unforgettable memories and profound experiences that the trip had brought them.
The Jiuzhaigou adventure was an unforgettable experience for the Smith family. Not only did they enjoy the magnificent natural scenery and rich cultural heritage, but they also tasted the local cuisine and met friendly Tibetan compatriots. More importantly, they realized the importance of protecting the environment and put it into practice. This trip will be one of the most precious memories in their lives.
