Huanglong - Jiuzhaigou Valley - Nanping

Toady we drive to the Jiuzhaigou (lit. "Valley of Nine Villages") Nature Reserve, where you get the opportunity to take a hike in this jagged valley stretching over 720 km². It reaches a height of more than 4,800m, thus comprising a series of diverse forest ecosystems and is particularly interesting for their narrow conic karst land forms and spectacular waterfalls.
 
Some 140 bird species inhabit the valley, and it boasts a number of endangered plant and animal species, including the Great Panda and the Sichuan takin. Afterwards we drive to Nanping County via White River and stay overnight at the "Nanping Hotel".
