① Winter from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou: See Ice and Snow

Ice and snow are synonymous with Jiuzhaigou in winter. Jiuzhaigou holds an Icefall Festival every year. Winter Jiuzhaigou is magnificent, integrating emerald lakes, layered waterfalls, blue ice, icefalls, snow-capped mountains, and Tibetan and Qiang ethnic cultures. This is what distinguishes it from northern snowscapes: rich in snow flavor but vibrant in color, yet it remains hidden and little known.

② Winter from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou: See Icefalls

In winter, ice forms everywhere in Jiuzhaigou, which is one reason the Icefall Festival is held annually. However, the icefalls in winter Jiuzhaigou are the most spectacular. Nuorilang Waterfall retracts its majestic, virile energy, freezing into a thought-provoking natural ice sculpture. Pearl Shoal Waterfall and Shuzheng Waterfall also solidify their usual liveliness into ice. The Panda Lake Waterfall, with the greatest drop, completely freezes into huge ice columns, crystal-clear ice curtains, and a myriad of ice draperies and icicles, presenting a dazzling ice crystal world.

③ Winter from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou: See Water

Although Jiuzhaigou is covered in white snow in winter, its most magical feature is that no matter how cold it gets, you can still see green mountains and clear waters. Jiuzhaigou’s water either freezes, flows gently, or is half ice and half water. The colors of the water shine through the thin ice—deep blue, light green, navy, emerald, light purple—intermixed like a giant gemstone. Ice flowers are sometimes like brocade, sometimes like drifting clouds, combining movement and stillness in a very poetic way.

In winter, Jiuzhaigou becomes especially serene, especially poetic and picturesque. Mountains and forests are clad in silver; waterfalls and lakes are ice-clean; the ice on the blue lakes changes with the temperature difference between sunrise and sunset, creating wondrous ice patterns. Amid the frozen waterfalls, the gentle sound of water produces a heart-refreshing music.
