九寨沟 (JiuZhaiGuo) where Painting comes to life. Part 2

九寨沟(JiuZhaiGuo), the valley of 9 villages is not just a ordinary nature reserve, it's like a canvas of colourful painting, painted and crafted by the gods, and fairies for the native mountain people (Tibetan).

The elevation of the area is around 2000m above sea level, and it is famous for its mighty waterfalls, breath-taking snow covered mountains and beautiful lakes, especially its colourful, and yet crystal clear water.

it really makes you wonder that the earth was trully a beautiful planet......of course, before the rise of us-the human being. Thanks to 'Development'.

Go there and experience it for yourself....before the human race turns the 'heaven' to 'hell'.

Enough said, let me present you part 2 of the album.

Five-Color Pond (五彩池, Wǔcǎi Chí) is one of the smallest but most spectacular bodies of water in Jiuzhaigou lakes. It has a richly colored underwater landscape with some of the brightest and clearest waters in the area.
