This national park which translates as “Nine Villages Valley” is now a major domestic tourist attraction. Sure it’s gorgeous with it’s waterfalls and uncanny blue lakes but it’s hardly a genuine mountain experience. You cannot leave the path and you are never far from the main road which shuttles throngs of Chinese tourists up and down the mountain. Entrance fee is now a jaw-dropping 310 yuan (that’s more than Forbidden City, Warriors, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace combined !)
