I have wanted to visit these places since few years ago since I first saw an introductory documentary. I was stunted by the surreal color of the water & dazzling colorful autumn leaves. They were awarded as a World Heritage in 1992 by UNESCO. However, I find it hard to allocate my personal time while splitting my available holidays between my family in Malaysia & full time job in China. My opportunity came when company that I work for had chosen HuangLong & JiuZhaiGou as 2007 annual trip. And best of all, the timing was just right, in mid autumn when leaves change color.
