The landscapes of Jiuzhaigou are not as bustling as Kanas, nor as serene as Yang Lake. Surrounded by high mountains topped with snow, they gain an extra grandeur; occasionally, misty clouds linger among the peaks, and lush forests add a touch of elegance; gentle streams trickle, scattering pearls of water everywhere, adding a playful atmosphere; waterfalls plummet, sending up sprays of mist, adding a sense of vitality; the lakes (Haizi) are blue or green, deep or shallow, large or small, colorful and scattered like stars—truly a fairyland fallen to earth.

On the road from Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong, snow suddenly falls, swirling in the air; outside the window, everything is wrapped in silver, the mountains turn white, losing the colors of Huanglong yet leading you into a fairy-tale Huanglong.

The trip to Mount Emei was spent weaving through clouds and mist, seeing neither mountains nor water, only a sudden glimpse of the Buddha, which then vanished into the mist. It was still a worthwhile journey, and I am truly fortunate.

Everything in the world is so beautiful—why dwell on temporary gains or losses, or unhappiness? Embrace the world with joy, and embrace yourself with joy! Bless!
