Boringchap Turbocharged October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 I got this video footage from a relative who went to China on a tour recently. This was a visit to the Jiu Zhai Gou national park. China has 1.3bn people and their internal tourism will be enough to generate so much economic activity. See 1:17 for the crowds! The waterfall was pretty neat. Not the majestic type, but because it wasn't too big, you could go near to it. In Part 3, they took a coach to another part of the park and had to go uphill. They came to a place called Fairy Lake. Happy viewing! ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to invest enough to protect the place from abuse. Edited October 4, 2015 by Boringchap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piyopico Supercharged October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 I visited in 2009 after the earthquake. It is the most scenic area I have visited. The crowds were pretty bad even then bit it is a highly protected area and there are limits to the number of visitors and most trials are not open for hikes. Wo Long is the other place to see.

Lala81 Hypersonic October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 (edited) From the video, the mirror lake at NZ's milford sound probably better. But i think a major issue will be the crowds. Hard to enjoy this when just tons of people standing around you. Edited October 5, 2015 by Lala81 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atrecord Supersonic October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 I went to Jiu Zhai Gou in 1997 & it was much more protected now vs then. I still have photo i took then. I went there in either 95 or 96, can't remember exactly now. It was really nice. There was snow along the way too, when we passed by some mountainous region, during the i think 4D3N trip. On the way there, we stayed one night at Wen Chuan, which was badly damaged by the Sichuan earthquake a few years ago... We were told that some years before that, the 西游记 series was filmed there. Plus, ex-Premier 赵紫阳 once commented that 桂林山水甲天下，九寨风景胜桂林, no wonder so many people went and is still going there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the safety factor is to be of higher range. Edited October 7, 2015 by Janling3 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
