The Main Event: Jiu Zhai Gou

---

This was the big one. Jiu Zhai Gou scenic area is a nationally protected area of stunning natural beauty, and also happens to be where parts of Jet Li's Hero was filmed.

The water wasn't like water anymore; so clear i could see the moss growing on the fallen branches laying on the riverbed, 50m deep.

The mountains looked like they were sculpted, they were so beautiful.

A part of the objective of my journey has been fulfilled, in a place I hadn't even planned on visiting.

The whole 50 mile area is a no smoking zone, and the absence of religious buildings gives this whole area a pure, crisp, feeling.

I'll let the picture do the rest of the talking, even though the thousands that I took on Anna's dad's professional camera can only express a fraction of the real experience.


*edit*
pictures are coming later because i'm on a crap PC that can't handle them right now.
