Jiuzhaigou National Park

From Langmusi I took a 8-hour 14-hour bus ride to Jiuzhaigou Valley.  Woke up early the next morning and went to the pricey but insanely beautiful Jiuzhaigou national park.  Lonely Planet did an excellent job suggesting an early arrival and immediate bus to the far end of the park.  I spent the rest of the day walking back through the valley past stunning waterfalls and emerald lakes.  Here's somebody else's photo slideshow:

After Jiuzhaigou I caught a 12-hour 19-hour bus ride down to Chengdu.
