Spicy & sour noodles for breakfast

Soooo many tourists!

I almost got pushed into the water taking this picture

Me & Jen

Some lakes have a high concentration of calcium carbonate

Their water is very clear so that the bottom is often visible even at high depths

Orange leaf

Some colorful

Sleeping Dragon Lake

Much prettier with the sun out

Jen

Me in Chinese wear

With a depth of 20 m

Notable for the clearly visible calcareous dyke running through it

Whose shape has been compared to a dragon lying on the bottom

My effort to bring the sunglass did not go wasted

Worth the crowd to come here in autumn

Long Lake

Peculiar cypress that resembles a one-armed old man

Lot of vendor renting traditional wear for photo

Is the highest, largest and deepest lake in Jiuzhaigou

Snow from overnight

Got lucky with the weather today, forecast said rainy

This is probably the spot with most tourists

One of the smallest but most spectacular bodies of water in Jiuzhaigou lakes

Five-Color Pond

Berton

Me

It has a richly colored underwater landscape

With some of the brightest and clearest waters in the area

Nuorilang Tourist Center

Remind me of ski resort

Me @ Five Flower Lake

I highly recommend Jiuzhaigou to everyone

Much prettier with the sun

Pearl Waterfalls

This bird is not shy

Drops 28 m in a 310 m wide broad curtain of water

Down stream of Pearl Waterfalls

High shutter speed

Slow shutter speed

Mirror Lake

Quiet lake casting beautiful reflections of the surroundings when the water is calm

Tried so many attempts but cannot get both blue skies (sky and reflection)

Over 600+ photo took today

Finally captured the blue sky

Nuorilang Falls

20 m high and 320 m wide

Reportedly the widest highland waterfall in China

Glad I bought the wide-angle lens

The widest travertine-topped waterfall in the world

One of the symbols of Jiuzhaigou

Rhinoceros Lake

Snow mountain

The second largest in the valley
