Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Administration

The Jiuzhaigou nature reserve spans 72,000 hectares of land, featuring multicolored lakes, waterfalls, and snow-capped mountains in the northern Sichuan province.

The Chinese government established Jiuzhaigou as a nature reserve in 1978, leading to its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.

The reserve contains seven active Tibetan villages where residents maintain their traditions while providing local handicrafts and food services to visitors.

The park operates a network of shuttle buses connecting major attractions, with wooden boardwalks allowing visitors to explore lakes and waterfalls throughout the three valleys.

The geological formations create natural dams that form numerous lakes displaying different colors due to varying mineral compositions and depths.
