Geography and climate
Known in English as Jiuzhai Valley it lies at the southern end of the Minshan mountain range,330 km (205 mi) north of the provincial capital of Chengdu.It is part of the Jiuzhaigou County (formerly Nanping County) in the Aba Tibetan Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of northwestern Sichuan province,near the Gansu border.
The valley covers 720 km2 (278 sq mi),with buffer zones covering an additional 600 km2 (232 sq mi).Its elevation,depending on the area considered,ranges from 1,998 to 2,140 m (at the mouth of Shuzheng Gully) to 4,558 - 4,764 m (on Mount Ganzigonggai at the top of Zechawa Gully).
The climate is cool temperate with a mean annual temperature of 7.2 °C,with means of -1 °C in January and 17 °C in July.Total annual rainfall is 661 mm,80% of which occurs between May and October.
History
The remote region was inhabited by various Tibetan and Qiang peoples for centuries,but was not officially discovered by the government until 1972.Extensive logging took place until 1979,when the Chinese government banned such activity and made the area a national park in 1982.An Administration Bureau was established and the site officially opened to tourism in 1984; layout of facilities and regulations were completed in 1987.The site was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1992 and a World Biosphere Reserve in 1997.
Since opening,tourist activity has increased every year:from 5,000 in 1984 to 170,000 in 1991,160,000 in 1995,to 200,000 in 1997,including about 3,000 foreigners.Visitors numbered 1,190,000 in 2002.As of 2004[update],the site averages 7,000 visits per day,with a quota of 12,000 being reportedly enforced during high season.The Town of Zhangzha at the exit of the valley and the nearby Songpan County feature an ever-increasing number of hotels,including several polished five-stars,such as Sheraton.
Population
Jiuzhaigou (literally "Nine Village Valley") takes its name from the nine Tibetan villages along its length.Seven of them are still populated today.The main agglomerations that are readily accessible to tourists are Heye,Shuzheng and Zechawa along the main paths that cater to tourists,selling various handicrafts,souvenirs and snacks.There is also Rexi in the smaller Zaru Valley and behind Heye village are Jianpan,Panya and Yana villages.The Valley's no longer populated villages are Guodu and Hejiao.
Finally,the Penbu,Panxing and Yongzhu villages lie along the road that passes through the town of Jiuzhaigou/Zhangza outside the valley.
In 1997,the permanent population of the valley was about 1,000,and due to the protected nature of the park,agriculture is no longer permitted so the locals now rely on tourism and local government subsidies to make a living.
