Jiuzhaigou National Park in Southwest China's Sichuan province fully reopened to visitors yesterday after the completion of post-earthquake restoration and reconstruction.
The park's name, which means "Nine Village Valley", comes from the nine Tibetan villages there. The scenic area is best known for its blue and green lakes, splendid waterfalls, karst land forms and its unique wildlife. It was listed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1992. The park is also home to 3,634 species of plants and animals, including giant pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys, winning the name of an "earthly paradise".
The national park covers an area of 720 square kilometers and ranges in altitude from 1,996 to 4,764 meters above sea level. On Aug.8, 2017, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Jiuzhaigou county, and the scenic area was closed due to damage. After continuous reconstruction and natural recovery, the park gradually reopened to visitors starting in March 2018.
Now, after four years of recovery, the tourist destination has regained its former charm. Tourism support facilities have also been improved to better provide service for tourists. Now the scenic spot has a maximum of 41,000 visitors per day. Tourists have to book tickets online at least one day in advance.
Recently, Jiuzhaigou county has been trying to provide a more diversified tourism experience for visitors, such as the staging of musical and dance dramas about ethnic cultures, launch of modern commercial buildings and cultural creative spaces. The opening ceremony of the 7th China (Sichuan) International Tourism Investment Conference and Ceremony for the Full Reopening of Jiuzhaigou Valley was held on Tuesday, bringing in 263 key investment projects on culture and tourism for the province, amounting to 490.4 billion yuan ($75.8 billion).
For most of the kids, amusement parks are their favorite. When choosing an amusement park for their kids, parents can begin by going to the amusement park's website. In general, many of the official websites have complete lists of rides and attractions, as well as height limits and target age groups.
When selecting an amusement park for kids, you may be able to find one that matches your child's interests easily. Usually there are many interesting themed ones in the city. Some parks are built entirely on the theme of a popular television show or a famous cartoon brand.

At 7:30a.m. I am woken by the sound of the wind (buffet) the cloth of my tent. I'm in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park above the Arctic Circle, the sun never sets in summer.
In 1909, Sarek was made a national park in order to keep the land in its natural state. Though the Sami are allowed to continue their（tradition) way of life in the park, no one else can live here, and all new development(ban) within park boundaries. At the far side of the valley, ancient Sami cottage is visible.
For hundreds of years, the Sami looked after reindeer, living the reindeer's meat. Since reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would move (accompany) them. Although most Sami live a modern life today, every spring a small number of Sami (follow) their reindeer, enjoying their traditions.
After breakfast, I set out carrying my bag weighing about 30 kilograms. However, I make no (complain). Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel（bless). There is nothing better than breathing the fresh air and enjoying this great adventure.
One of the things I like best about Beijing is the beautiful parks. One that is less well known to foreign visitors is called Taoranting Park. It(lie) to the west of the Temple of Heaven and covers area of 56.56 hectares (公顷), with 16.15hectares occupied by water. (open) in 1955, Taoranting Park was the(early) modern city park constructed in Beijing after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The park gets its name the Taoran Pavilion, which(build) in 1695. Scholars often gathered in this pavilion(read) and write poetry. In the 20th century several famous revolutionaries (革命者) were(close) related to the Taoran Pavilion.
In common with other Chinese parks, this one also has a "park within a park"—Huaxia Famous Pavilion Scenic Spot. The mini park contains more than 10 pavilions in all, some of are full-sized copies of famous pavilions in some Chinese cities.
All in all, the beautiful garden scenery, rich cultural atmosphere, and glorious revolutionary historical sites make Taoranting Park a tourist(attract) in Beijing.
