Totally in awe. All the descriptions are all so concise and aptly describing everything. Some simple ones that i can rmb are 鵅尾覆羽 which is just crudely 尾巴上有毛. And 鵅身与尾均黑 as 全部黑. I really do not deserve an A for chinese.
Dunno why the air is so much thinner here, despite the same altitude as compared to the switz. Get giddy easily, cant turn ur head too fast. was too hyper, doing all the jump shots with bro at the waterfall then got to pop a panadol pill. So we tone down more subsequently. Crap. Who ask us to ignore ah moon's warning of the "高山症" which is supposed to be 高原反应 in proper mandarin.
A fairyland indeed. But some of the lakes are dried up. U know i shld really type all these in mandarin, doing this unesco heritage place injustice. Suggest that u google the place and read up. Its beauty is further enhanced by the chinese language. The audio guide made the trip so awesome. Fortunately i can still understand it, thus able to appreciate. tho my standard wouldnt allow me to write such poetic entries, describing the scenery n geographical formations of these natural wonders. This season isnt the best to tour jiu zhai gou for sure. But we are lucky to have both sun and rain today. The highlands' weather is well known to be changing rapidly and extremely. Indeed. prolly if we come in oct, wouldnt want to go back. Would be better if they let us drive rangers on our own and camp at designated locations. But almost impossible with this kind of crowd. Totally owns all other the national parks, above all. Think dont need to go other national parks alr, if not for too much control here.
Our grp got a private coach at 4800rmb, thus not alot of walking la. But the others are alr complaining. Cos of their age perhaps. Shrugs. It is named 九寨沟cos of 九个寨族. And there are apparently 3沟 in there. The 4th 沟 is somewhere else. Where the only POI is the temple which is not opened to the public.The waterfall is the widest one in china. N they will form icefalls during winter. The supposedly most beautiful scene is the 五彩池. Not too bad. We had fun playing with the panorama mode for clones in the same photo since our stopover time is relatively longer. The tribes also call all the lakes, sea or 海子.
Then we went for massage by the 藏族. And they play some songs which i heard in the temples before. Was asking them whether those are 藏语, but they arent sure. Hmm..
Food at sheraton jiu zhai gou is much better, more international, i still have to skip those weird chinese dishes like oxtail in red wine and dunno wat bloody stuff..urgghh..i really appreciate sg chinese food, more normal and simple. we go for more western bfast too, cereals and croissants, instead of the congee with oily vege.
