Trip To Jiuzhaigou Valley

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

I was tired of the cold so decided to travel again, I traveled to Sichuan province in the heart of mainland China. The place i have gone to is called Jiuzhaigou which is a county in Sichuan, and the area of Jiuzhaigou to visit is the Jiuzhai Valley National Park, which is itself a UNESCO world heritage site.

I originated my journey from Chengdu city where i took a tour service,they arranged everything so after taking two buses and a car i finally reached there. There are other quick methods to go there but i was in Chengdu so that was the only way to go there as far as i know.

The particular place this post is about is called Blue Moon Lake in English (or jade dragon snow mountain lake depends who you are asking), there are other beautiful sites on that region, but for this post i am mainly focusing on that lake. It was one most beautiful place i have ever been and got more than i bargained for, anyways here are some photos i took there. I took the photos with my Sony Camera,not much but does the job done ;)

I tried to take the shot as the same angle i saw on the travel guide Reference Image,which proves the place is beautiful throughout the year and the mountains surrounding the lake took my breath way

Not to mention Turquoise waters of the mesmerizing lake

I had to zoom quite much to take this shot of this lone tree

After walking a bit and taking another vantage point,able to take this zoomed shot

Time to go close and personal with the beautiful waters :P

This is no editing,actually its still cold and there is a thin layer of ice on some region of the lake,barely able to stand

I will not recommend anyone to stand there some people actually broke through, and got hurt


Anyways, it was one of the best trip i had for a long time, i might post more pictures of that region soon,and will recommend everybody to visit this beautiful place if they are traveling to china.As far as i know the place is beautiful any time of the year so drop by there if you can :)

feels very peaceful

Yes it is :)

My God, I'd forgotten...

The last few years (living in Beijing and dealing with the worst China has to offer, while researching political issues) have given me such a negative opinion of China that it's all-too-easy to forget just how beautiful some places in this country can be.
But this... this is incredible, and your work captures it so well.

Thanks a lot, i am also an expat there but i don't dig into politics and stuff, i just enjoy what the country offers and try to make the best of everything :)

My husband and I had our engagement photos taken in Jiuzhaigou about 8 years ago. A very memorable and meaningful place for us :)

It is a beautiful place to take romantic photos, its great that you had your special moment in that beautiful place :D

Yes, the place is like a magical world!

Blue lake surrounded by mountains covered with snow, really beautiful
