Chasing Waterfalls & Wildlife

Nestled in the northern part of Sichuan Province, Jiuzhaigou National Park is worldwide renowned for its stunning landscapes, but it’s also a haven for diverse wildlife. This UNESCO World Heritage site boasts an ecosystem that supports numerous species, including some rare and endangered ones. The park’s dense forests are home to the giant panda, although sightings are rare due to their elusive nature. More commonly observed are the golden snub-nosed monkey, which thrives in these mountainous terrains and various species of birds such as the Chinese monal, a colorful pheasant that enchants bird watchers.
The water bodies within Jiuzhaigou, from shimmering lakes to cascading waterfalls, support a variety of aquatic life, including unique alpine fish species. Exploring this natural sanctuary offers not only a visual feast of picturesque sceneries but also a profound encounter with nature’s fauna.
