      • Sichuan, a province in southwest China, boasts many spectacular, breathtaking landscapes. Its capital, Chengdu, is a convenient gateway for visitors to enjoy these world-renowned sceneries. Many airlines and buses connect from here to the various scenic spots. Chengdu is also the home of the Giant Panda Research Base.

      First on the must see list is Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area, located in Jiuzhai County. Some 460 kilometers (about 286 miles) away from Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou has an unusual ecosystem with dozens of pristine lakes, waterfalls, forests and rare animals. There goes a saying: no mountain is worth seeing after Mt. Huangshan and no other water will be of interest after Jiuzhaigou. If there are 'fairylands' in the world, Jiuzhaigou is certainly one of them. This site has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

      Going west along Jiuhuang Ring Way towards Chengdu, visitors can stop and explore many spectacular scenic wonders. The Huanglong Scenic and Historic Interest Area, located in Songpan County, is another UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is noted for its colorful waters, lakes, hot springs, snow-capped mountains, valleys and forest. It is another must see for visitors coming to Jiuzhaigou Valley. The majestic snow-capped Xuebaoding Mountain, soaring 5500 meters above sea level, stands on the way to Huanglong scenic area. It is a favorite among mountain climbers and hikers.

      To get to Huanglong, visitors have to transfer to a bus at Chuanzhusi Town, about 90 kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou, or at Songpan County, about 20 kilometers further from Chuanzhusi. Each of these places has its unique history and charm.

      There are two minor attractions along the way to Chuanzhusi--Ganhaizi Lake and Fairy Pool. Ganhaizi Lake is about 18 kilometers (about 11 miles) away from Jiuzhaigou Valley and Fairy Pool is about 45 kilometers (about 28 miles) away from Ganhaizi Lake. These two attractions feature pure, tranquil waters, lush forests and lofty mountains. Rare animals often appear in the area of Fairy Pool. The virgin forest here is an ideal living environment for pandas, golden monkeys and Tibetan antelopes.

      Songpan County is an ancient Tibetan town favored by some foreign visitors because they can explore this wonderful scenic area on horseback. It is easy to find a caravan in this small county. Shunjiang Horse Trek Company, located near the city gate of Songpan County, is a good choice, offering each tourist a horse and a guide. Most company guides can speak some English. Several tour lines depart from here to places like Huanglong, Xuebaoding Mountain and Mounigou Valley.

      Mounigou Valley is southwest of Songpan County, with an elevation between 2880 meters and 4070 meters. It has two scenic spots: Zhaga Waterfalls and Erdaohai Lake. The latter can only be reached on horseback.

      The lofty Mt.Siguniangshan, well-known Dujiangyan Irrigation Project and Mt.Qingcheng are located on the way to Chengdu.

      In summary, the trip to Jiuzhaigou will be a feast for the senses, a memory to be treasured.

Through coaching, I understand the original "Outward Bound" is a test of will and wisdom, and tap potential and teamwork spirit of the campaign, but its not completely belong to the scope of sports. Because of time constraints, we participated in the project, not many, but it is these small projects, let me come to understand the importance of teamwork. The event, under the arrangement of the coaches being carried out in good order, and each item in the design and arrangement are very creative, especially after the end of each project experience and the experience of all the coaches comments, sum up, and people emotionally, popular inspired. Most of the three projects is the project team, including the Broken Bridge is a project of self-challenge. Experienced in the challenges and stimulation, I was left to more reflection. Broken Bridge, the challenge of personal self-item can be "terrifying" four words to sum up. Project design and organization is very simple, just two disconnect between the wooden planks to do a simple jump back and forth, but it was shelved two wooden planks in the eight, nine-metre high tree. On the ground looking at the rise of the distance between the two wooden boards, I feel very close distance, it seems that can be lightly leaped past. When their chatter Chanweiwei climbed to 8, 9-metre-high scaffold, narrow wooden planks come to the end of Looking at the opposite one another narrow wooden planks, I immediately silly. On the night so far? I wonder what their own, I can jump past? So in the narrow wooden planks, I will rise? Partial will jump? At this moment, the opposite is so far little wooden boards, I could not help but begging for the old coach, "do not jump?" The coach says it is the answer: "No!" He then used the relaxed tone said "Do you think so many Hom life are gone, this is a simple jump Suandeile? think yesterday's" dark, eyes closed "game until the final才被that you are" murderers " , reflecting the quality of your psychological well ah, jump! you must visit. "After listening to coach remarks, I relax a little, but fear still haunting the normal operation of the board to continue the stalemate. Almost 20 minutes later, no way, the coach said, "If we do not jump, I will push you!" I know that the posterior can be no retreat, so will Xinyiguang, Zongshen jumped results secured fallen on the The opposite appears to narrow board, a look back, not far ah, only one meter just…… "Air a small step, a big step in life", in fact, we will be in life often face such challenges, knowledge and skills is only tangible capital, is the will and spirit of the invisible forces. The activities of deep indeed, I think the most important thing is for our future work, study and life to inspire and guide. This is a valuable asset.
