Day 5 - Jiuzhai Paradise

At last, we arrived at our destination -- Jiuzhai Paradise hotel 九寨天堂. This is a true five stars hotel...everything is in very high standards despite geographically located in such a remote area (the nearest big city is Chengdu which is about 8 hours non stop drive). We were fortunate to have the opportunity to sleep in this place for two nights.

Nice canopy to keep you dry in raining day.
