THE CORRECT ANSWER: Jiuzhaigou National Park (China)
Jiuzhaigou National Park is located in the heart of Sichuan province, in southwest China, on the edge of the Tibetan plateau. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this exceptional site is famous worldwide for its karst valleys sheltering dozens of lakes with turquoise and crystal clear waters. These spectacular colors result from the high concentration of calcium carbonate contained in the water of glacial origin. The park is also distinguished by its multi-level waterfalls, such as the impressive Nuorilang Falls, and its high-altitude forests with flamboyant colors in autumn. Jiuzhaigou serves as a natural refuge for several highly protected species, including the giant panda and the snub-nosed golden monkey. Its magical landscapes, combining Alpine reliefs and local Tibetan legends, attract nature lovers and photographers from all over the world.
