Jiuzhaigou Valley I, by Cao Yong

If we say there is really a fairyland, it is Jiuzhaigou Valley.

It is said that a long time ago, the warlike Dage ground a magic mirror with wind and cloud and presented it to his beloved Goddess Wunosemo. Thanks to the meddling of a devil, she dropped the mirror and it broke into pieces, falling to the hunan world, and became 114 glittering lakes. As a result, on earth there came into being a dreamy fairyland, Jiuzhaigou Valley.

This is a sacred land with the best scenic sports and glorious views: a fairyland, primitive and natural, without a single drop of dirt, where majestic and unrivalled emerald lakes, layer upon layer of waterfalls, colourful forests, snow peaks and Tibetan folways get along swimmingly with each other, forming a perfection of itself.
