Always wondered why young Singaporeans have an aversion to going to China for holidays, dismissing it as a retiree's destination. I think it's got really gorgeous natural scenery at very affordable prices. Check out Jiuzhaigou and it's amazing scenery- it's got pristine forests, stunning lakes, beautiful waterfalls and majestic snow-capped mountains, all in one place. These pics were taken in mid spring; i'm already quite amazed by what i've seen and yet the locals say it's a lot more pretty in autumn where you really can get to see lots of vibrant colours...hmm, i can only wonder. Oh well, in any case, doubt i'll come here again, as all the locals i've spoken to say there's a place that's a hundred times prettier than Jiuzhaigou. They call it Yading- the 'last Shangri-la', and it's situated in the tibetan region of china. That's where i'll be going in future, just gotta beat the altitude sickness...
