Follow the hotel’s exclusive private hiking trail, step onto the secluded paths of the primeval forest, walk across the soft alpine meadows, and gaze upon the crystal-clear glacial lakes. The richness of Jiuzhaigou unfolds step by step beneath your feet. This is not only the home of emerald lakes and cascading waterfalls, but also a living botanical ark—more than 2,000 species of higher plants thrive here. Follow a botanical guide, learn to identify plants by name, and listen to the ecological whispers among branches and leaves. Slow your steps, soften your breath, and let the scent of plants lead you into a deep dialogue with nature.
Jiuzhaigou was known as “YangTong” in ancient times. In this land of picturesque mountains and clear waters, two brilliant pearls of intangible cultural heritage were born: one is Nanping folk tunes, which the ancestors of the Han, Tibetan, and Qiang peoples, with pipa and local accents, sang from generation to generation at post stations along ancient roads; the other is the “Panda Dance” of the Baima Tibetans, an ancient totemic dance performed to pray for good fortune, and a vivid poem of their thousand-year ecological faith.
