'We are in the north of Sichuan Province now . As we went up to an altitude of 10000 feet, the cold was barely tolerable as the sun was shining. As we descended into the valley the terrain changed into pine trees and greenery, much like the alps, laden with snow.
Jiuzhaigou Valley is part of the Min Mountains on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau and stretches over 72,000 hectares (180,000 acres). It is known for its many multi-level waterfalls, colorful lakes, and snow-capped peaks. Its elevation ranges from 2,000 to 4,500 metres (6,600 to 14,800 ft).
