Jiu Zhai Gou national parkMy first journey to Si Chuan province was on June 1995, it was a group trip to Jiuzhaigou Valley which is a national park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. The various size of lakes are special in this park because of its high concentration of calcium carbonate. Under the sun light, different depth of lake will refract different gorgeous colours, it is magnificent that combining with the colour scene of mountains around the lakes in autumn season.

The Four Girls mountain is also another famous national park located in the border area of Xiao Jin (小金县)and Wen Chuan(汶川县)in Si Chuan province. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. The Four Girls mountain means the four highest peaks there from 5025 to 6250 meters. There are three gorges of landscape and environment can be enjoyed as well.

Hiking and Bushwalking are also popular activities in these national parks. However, to enjoy the quiet and spectacular natural environment, normal walking is enjoyable and relaxing. Since 1995, I have been thereMt Four Girls national park four times in both national parks. if I want to enjoy there again, I would like use my eyes and spirit to capture their beauties without carrying any cameras and mobile phones.
