Jiuzhai Valley is one of the most reputed tourist destinations in China, known for its fairytale-like landscapes of exuberant forests and fascinating "haizi," or pools with diversified colors. The beauty of Jiuzhai Valley was presented to the world by Chinese director Zhang Yimo in his hit movie "Hero."
