Jiuzhaigou, world heritage site north of Sichuan, on the edge of the Tibetan plateau

Enter the magificent sites of Jiuzhaigou, into a sea of mountain ranges, rushing streams and waterfalls of crystal-clear water at every turn, ice-capped mountains, plunging valleys, and the most tightly-packed tourist site ever known to men! For a site that accommodates 7,000-8,000 tourists, there were over 23,000 on the day I was there. Thousands of steps to climb, and miles of mountain paths to walk--and I came out alive!
