Jiuzhaigou | Turquoise Lakes, Slow Mountain Days
Jiuzhaigou · Tibetan Mountain Valley

These turquoise lakes were the backdrop for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

No rushed bus tours, no squeezing past crowds to get a photo. We take the slow wooden boardwalks through the valley, so you can actually stop and stare at the water.

Walk the boardwalks, don't rush

Most tour groups rush from viewpoint to viewpoint, 10 minutes at each lake, herded along by a megaphone. We take the slow route: stop at the quiet coves of Five Flower Lake, sit by the water, watch the light change on the blue-green pools. No schedule, no rushing to keep up with a group.

We stop at a local Tibetan family's home for butter tea, not a staged tourist performance.

Dinner: slow-simmered yak hot pot at a family restaurant, the same one locals go to after a day on the mountain.

"I kept thinking the water color was a filter until I stood right next to it — it really is that bright turquoise. The air was cool, the walks were slow, and the yak butter tea was way better than I expected."
