The Magic of the Fairy Pool

Sichuan Province's Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture's Jiuzhaigou County is known not only for the world-famous Jiuzhaigou World Natural Heritage site but also for a lesser-known attraction that combines the features of both Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong — the Fairy Pool, also known as Nen'en Sangcuo. The reason it's considered off the beaten path is that Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong draw the majority of tourists, and travel groups generally do not include the Fairy Pool in their itineraries. Moreover, its location is relatively remote. However, the scenery of the Fairy Pool is no less stunning than that of Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, with its crystal-clear waters, breathtaking calcified pools, and serene highland forests. At the Fairy Pool, one can fully enjoy these sights without the bother of crowds.
