Stretching over 72,000 ha in the northern part of Sichuan
Province, the jagged Jiuzhaigou valley reaches a height of more than 4,800 m,
thus comprising a series of diverse forest ecosystems. Its superb landscapes are
particularly interesting for their series of narrow conic karst land forms and
spectacular waterfalls. Some 140 bird species also inhabit the valley, as well
as a number of endangered plant and animal species, including the giant panda
and the Sichuan takin. [Description from www.unesco.org Photo by Zheng
