Overview
Situated in the north of Sichuan Province, Jiuzhaigou is a famous national park. In 1992, this natural national park was recorded on the list of World Heritage Sites. There are lots of multi-level waterfalls, colorful lakes, and snow-capped mountains. And the average elevation is about 2,000 to 4,500 meters. Huanglong, 120km away from Jiuzhaigou, is another hot tourist destination for travelers. Owing to the special terrain and geography, Huanglong is famous for its colorful and diverse ponds, dense forests, white snow mountains, and numerous hot springs. Songpan, a traditional county in the northwest of Sichuan Province, is known to the public for its stunning natural views and unique traditions. As a special activity in Songpan, horse riding has become a hot program for travelers.

I am well thankyou. It turned out to be a great trip. I have two excellent guides and the driver. Especially as Lakdun (not sure how to spell her name) was there to help me at the airport when my flight got cancelled. You might also be interested to know that I run spiritual retreats and pilgrimages ....
