Jiuzhaigou is a gorgeous alpine valley studded with dazzling turquoise lakes as clear and bright as gemstones. Heavily forested and surrounded by snowy peaks and Tibetan herdsmen, Jiuzhaigou is a national treasure reserve and home to the protected takins, golden monkeys and pandas.
According to legend, Jiuzhaigou was created when a jealous devil caused the goddess Wunosemo to drop her magic mirror, a present from her lover, the warlord god Dage. The mirror dropped to the ground and shattered into 118 shimmering lakes.
