FIVE-COLOR POND JIUZHAIGOU
The park had only just reopened, years after the earthquake tore through it. Forests, lakes and waterfalls patched themselves up and went back to their main job, quietly showing off.
I arrived in peak season, wedged between tour groups and determined hikers, pretending I enjoy crowds when I very much do not. The ticket gates hummed at dawn. The weather had commitment issues. One minute, the sun was grilling the valley, the next, a slice of ice slid off a branch and onto my head.
Then the lakes. Water so aggressively blue it looked fake. Cartoon blue. Turns out it’s science, not Photoshop. Snowmelt runs through limestone, drops its calcium load, and builds pale travertine shelves beneath the surface. The bright mineral floor and absurd clarity kick the blue light back up. Nature, casually flexing.
This valley was carved by time, ice, and tectonic tantrums.
Jiuzhaigou National Park is unforgettable.
