JiuZhaiGou
(18th Oct)
|
|
|
Living inside of JiuZhaiGou has an advantage - you can start having
fun before day trip tourists can even get on a tour bus.
|
|
|

Have to start
with the LuoRiLang Waterfall because it's at the center of
JiuZhaiGou walking trails.

The Swan Lake.
Anyone doing ballet here?
|

In the afternoon, it drizzles. It takes real patient and caution to
take PICs in such condition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This
could have been one of the best PICs. However, the rain falls on the
lens and make focusing hard. Then I have to shade the lens with my
left hand. As you can see in the upper left corner of the PIC.
|

The trees and lakes outside of the ShuZheng [Tree_Upright
]
Village is probably the most colorful spot.
|

where am I? I expect fairies flying around.

You may wonder, why just a few PICs in the whole afternoon. In fact,
I have taken tons of PICs and have walked a very long distance. And I
spent lots of time waiting for tourists to get out of the way.
It's late afternoon. Overcast and cool. After being overwhelmed by all
the colors, I am extremely excited and satisfied. I think I need to
calm down. So I go back to the Mirror Lake.
|
|
|

Although rain drops ripple the Mirror Lake,
the tranquility can never be taken away.

Ok, I am all done. In the last 3 days, I have seen more colors that I
had expected. If I die this very moment, I have one less thing to worry
about. I put on a little smile.
I will be leaving tomorrow noon but I am not a bit sad. I am already
planning to come back in mid Feb to see the snow scenes of JiuZhaiGou.
I have white dreams.
