Jiuzhaigou (Nine Stockade Gully) was established during the Qin Dynasty and renamed to Jiuzhaigou County in 1998. As a World Natural Heritage Site and part of Man and Biosphere network, Jiuzhaigou is largely known for its wonderful mountains, over 100 gorgeous, clear lakes, and forests.

UNESCO entered this scenic area onto the world natural heritage list in 1992.

Jiuzhaigou is dotted with more than 100 clean lakes of various size and shapes that sparkle with color in the flickering sunlight. They are different from others by having a high concentration of calcium carbonate; therefore the lakebeds and embankments are covered with crystals. Because of the lakes, in different levels, flowing down the cliffs and covering trees, various waterfalls have been created. Due to different temperatures at various heights, there is a distinctive distribution of plants, with the broadleaf forest, at the foot of the mountain, and a coniferous forest at the top due to different heights with various temperatures.

Jiuzhaigou is known for its primitive, natural beauty, its lakes, waterfalls, and beaches, the water currents, snowy peaks, virgin forests, and Tibetan customs. Every visitor leaves with a unique feeling. This is where history and reality meet, and both civilization and nature coexistence in harmony.

The ecological environment nurtures numerous plant and animal species. The mountain is known as the Kingdom of Plants and the Paradise of Animals. The forest coverage on Mt. Emei is as high as 87%. Five vegetation belts are defined according to vertical zones.

Mt. Emei is inhabited by over 2,300 species of animals, of which 29 species are listed under state protection. Above all, Mt. Emei is famous for its miraculous power and wondrous beauty.

The mountain is shrouded in an ever-hanging cloud of fog. Fir trees, pines, and cedars clothe the slopes; lofty crags, cloud-kissing precipices, butterflies and azaleas together form a nature reserve. There are four seasons in a day: changeable weather in the 5 kilometres from the bottom to the summit of Mt. Emei.

The Temple of Ten Thousand Years, Crouching Tiger Monastery, and Pure Sound Pavillion are just some of the sites attracting tourists, pilgrims, and monks.

Wolong National Nature Reserve is located in the boundaries of Wenchuan County, Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, by the left bank of upper reach of Minjiang River and the east slope of Gonglai Mountain, and 134 kilometers away from the capital city Chengdu. The Reserve is 52 kilometers long from east to west, and 62 kilometers wide from south to north, covering an area of about 700,000 hectares. Established in 1963, the Reserve joined the International Man and Biosphere Reserve Network of UNESCO in 1980, and its main targets for protection are forest ecosystem and precious animals like giant pandas.

In the Reserve there are over 50 species of animals and 300 species of birds. The number of giant pandas here approximately accounts for one tenth of the total, and therefore Wolong National Nature Reserve is also identified as homeland of giant pandas. Besides giant pandas, red pandas, golden pheasants, white-eared pheasants and Chinese monals as well as the stunning Firethroats, golden monkeys and Musk Deer can also be found here. Most of these animals live in temperate coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest between the altitude of 2,200-3,600 meters.

Wolong National Nature Reserve is the most famous one among the 13 giant panda reserve centers established by the Chinese government with the help of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Wolong National Nature Reserve is also the first one of its kind to set up a research center for giant pandas. Zoologists at home and abroad have made ecological observation of giant pandas including its number, distribution, breeding and population structure. And remarkable achievements have been made in the past years.

The Sanxingdui Museum is near an archaeological site that dates to the Neolithic, Shang and Zhou periods. In 1988 this site was declared a National Key Cultural Relics Protected Unit, due to its scope, the wealth of its contents, and the rarity and precious nature of its excavated objects.

The site is north of Nanxing Town of Guanghan City in Sichuan Province. It is mainly located on the raised platform between the Yazi River and the Mamu River and it covers 12 square kilometers in total area. The most concentrated parts of the site are at the towns of Sanxing, Rensheng, Zhenwu, and Huilong.

The artifacts from Sanxingdui have had global influence. In 1986, two large Shang-period sacrificial pits were unearthed with more than one thousand gold, bronze, and jade objects, shocking the entire country and shaking the world. Among other things, the finds proved that Sanxingdui was the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom more than 3,000 years ago. Of all the objects excavated at Sanxingdui, the bronzes are the most fabulous and strange, with their high degree of historical, artistic and scientific value.
