China's Paradise

National holiday of China (Oct 1) is over. Many students and workers been freshen up after one week holiday but i also see some grumpy face of my friends on the way to school , each of their steps seem to be really heavy even though they only wear sneakers. One week seems to be such a short period when your holiday is full of enjoyment and excitement.

What did i do during holiday ?Do you even have to ask ?
I went to a place which deserve to be called " China's Paradise " Its called Jiu Zhai Gou 九寨沟 , located in Si Chuan 四川 province , can be reached in 10 hours by bus from Cheng Du 成都. It was the most beautiful place i've ever visited in China. I've seen the pictures from my parents when they went there on a tour a couple months ago, But TRUST ME - It's totally different feelings when you are there and see the wonderful scenery by yourself .



Cheng Du 成都 back then was the capital of China, now is known as the hometown of Panda.

Jiu Zhai Gou is known as a beautiful nature place, where you can see various trees and lakes which you can imagine in the fairy tales. They said the best time to visit is during Autumn, because of the colorful trees which reflected by surface of the lake. The trip isn't as pleasant as i thought, the hotel provided from the tour was just OKAY and the public toilet is HORRIBLE. But the scenery EXCELLENT.

(please please and please don't litter our world)

The first place we went is Jiu Zhai Gou itself. Jiu Zhai Gou has lots of beautiful lakes, waterfalls with different characteristic.

Look how clean and clear the water is ^^




The next day, we went to Huang Long 黄龙, located in higher elevation area, it's pretty hard to breath up there so its so highly recommended for those who wasn't in fit condition or seniors to buy some oxygen cans which are sold at entrance gate. On the way up there, because the place is so high, the bus went through the clouds. It's amazing ! The feeling is undescribable with just some words. Experience it !

Huang Long has some great scenery as well and some natural colorful pools (or ponds). But we was not so lucky because it was raining, so the fog pretty much block the view. We walked about 5 kilos whilst there to see all the view. I will also show some pictures of this place.

I do have more pictures i cannot show one by one here. But Travelling is not about pictures , its all about how you experience it by yourself. This place is highly recommended to everyone who's coming to China.
