Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is located in the Qiang and Aba Autonomous Prefecture. The name Jiuzhaigou comes from the nine Tibetan villages: Shuzhengzhai, Zechaowazhai, Hejiaozhai, Heyezhai, Panyazhai, Alazhai, Xianpanzhai, Rexizhai and Guoduzhai.
Jiuzhaigou is a 72,000-hectare national park located in the Min Shan mountain range, on the edge of the Tibetan-Himalayan plateau. The national park is located at an altitude of about 2,000 - 4,500m. In 1992, Jiuzhaigou was recognized by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage and became a world biosphere reserve in 1997. In 2017, it suffered severe damage from an earthquake and was not reopened to visitors until 2019.

Having just had a trip to Sichuan, Ms. Le Thuy Nga (born in 1983, Hanoi) did not miss the opportunity to visit China's famous national park. She shared: "I was very surprised when I came to Jiuzhaigou, it was breathtaking. This place is truly beautiful in the sense of heaven on earth. The lake water is a very distinctive blue color, when taking pictures, everyone thinks I edited the color of the photo."
Le Hoang, an agent specializing in selling tours to China, said that tourism to Jiuzhaigou is very crowded this season. The weather is cold, about 12 - 13 degrees Celsius, there is no snow yet, so tourists can freely enjoy the beautiful scenery, wearing Xinjiang costumes to take pictures. Most tours to Jiuzhaigou are most crowded from September to November.
Jiuzhaigou in Tibetan means Valley of Nine Golds. The Chinese people call it “King of Water Scenery” because of its mountain lakes.
The most famous Five Flower Lake is located in Tac Tra Oa Trai village, often compared to where fairies bathe. The lake is as beautiful as a fairyland with a unique blue color. The lake's surface is calm and clear, allowing you to see all the way to the bottom. Surrounding the lake are limestone mountains hidden in the clouds, and wooden plank roads allow visitors to fully observe the natural scenery.

Pearl Waterfall is a place that brings visitors a feeling of surprise because of its beauty that cannot be described in words. This is the most beautiful waterfall system in Jiuzhaigou. The name of the waterfall comes from the water flowing down, creating white foam like sparkling pearls, shining brightly under the sunlight.
This is also the location where the classic scene in the 1986 film Tay Dy Ky was filmed. The scene at the waterfall captures the moment when Tang Monk and his disciples go on the journey to get the scriptures, appearing at the end of each episode.
