Jiuzhaiguo - Huanglong - Dagu Glacier - Mt Emei - Chengdu , China

We went on a 9 days trip to China to see the UNESCO sites in Jiuzhaiguo and Huanglong, including the Dagu glacier, Mt Emei and the Panda Sanctuary in Chengdu.

The scenery in Jiuzhaiguo was unique but the others were a bit over rated, I think.

Unfortunately, 8 out of the 12 people in this customised tour were  not well from altitude sickness... including my wife and I.

Here are a few photos from the trip..... enjoy!

Five-Colored Lake, Jiuzhaiguo
 
 
Huanglong
 
 
Dagu Glacier
 
Mt. Emei
 
Panda Sanctuary, Chengdu
 
 
There were 3 highlights from this trip..... good and bad...... ha...ha....
 
 
- Jiuzhaiguo park was lovely and the main highlight of the trip.
 
- The challenging walk up and down Mt. Emei with the wet, drizzling and misty weather.... about 45 minutes walk one way.
 
 
- Altitude sickness.... headache, vomiting and some diarrhea too, 8 people fell sick on the trip at different times....!
 
 
After this high altitude experience, where we went up 4 mountains and above 2,500m.... I have no intention to visit any more mountains this high.....ha..ha....!!!
 
I took many photos and still in the process of reviewing them and select a handful to make a photo book for easy of viewing and safekeeping.
 
Definitely, a very good experience but no more altitude sickness though.....!
