童话世界九寨沟

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...

Primeval Forests abound

Lots and lots of pretty lakes

Crystal Clear Waters

Maybe it's the Tiger lake

Another lake

卧龙海 Sleeping Dragon Lake

Panda Lake? Long Lake? Too many, i can't remember

Maybe it's the mirror lake?
