Jiuzhaigou County trip planner

Nine villages make up Jiuzhaigou County, a valley with a wealth of natural sites protected by UNESCO. Some of the natural sites are considered holy by the local Tibetan and Qiang minorities, with many legends and anecdotes associated with each lake, waterfall, off-shoot valley, and snowcapped peak. Relatively inaccessible to outsiders until 1975, when logging companies turned up (and were pretty quickly told to leave), the locals developed strong cultural traditions, with nightly dance performances and folk markets in the main villages particular highlights of Jiuzhaigou County holidays.
