The purpose of the «Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong» photo exhibition was to show the amazing beauty of Chinese nature and introduce visitors to multi-faceted ancient Chinese culture. The exhibition shows artistic photographs taken by the expedition members of the travelers’ club who visited the Chinese province of Sichuan. After the expedition, a large number of photographs were prepared showing the magnificent natural scenery of Sichuan Province and cultural identity of the Chinese people.
Jiuzhaigou Valley (Valley of Nine Villages) is a part of the conservation area in UNESCO World Heritage list. The unique landscapes of the valley form six landscape areas with waterfalls, lakes and mountain ranges. Huanglong is a natural reserve in the territory of China with snow-capped mountain peaks and ancient glaciers, waterfalls and lakes with crystal-clear water, steep gorges and colorful ponds. The local forests are inhabited by animals of the Red List of Threatened Species, including the charming panda - the official symbol of the People’s Republic of China.
