Driving from subtropical forests over mountains to plateau meadows - Sichuan, China
Location: Jiuzhaigou County and Ruoergai County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture
starting point:
Shenxianchi Scenic Area is located in Jiuzhaigou County in the southern section of the Minshan Mountains in the Northwest Sichuan Plateau, far away from Jiuzhaigou. It is called "Nenen Sangcuo" in Tibetan, which means the place where fairies bathe. Its main attractions are located in an alpine canyon that is 3,000 meters long and about 300 meters wide.
The entire scenic spot is surrounded by vast primeval forests, and the surrounding terrain is steep. There are more than 10 peaks with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The peaks are stacked on top of each other, the ravines are deep, and the clouds are shrouded, giving people an ethereal, mysterious, quiet and remote feeling. Entering the Shenxianchi Scenic Area, walk slowly along the ancient wooden plank road, surrounded by lush dense forests. From time to time, cute little squirrels pass through the branches of green pines and cypresses and red birches. Slopes of hillsides are wrapped in yellow and milky white calcium, forming unique basin-shaped calcified pools and calcified slopes, stacked layer by layer in front of you. The water color in the pool emits a unique "Jiuzhai blue", which is quite otherworldly. the taste of. In such a landscape, I feel that only fairies are worthy of bathing.
