SHUZHENG TIBETAN VILLAGE - At the conclusion of our walks along the rivers and lakeshores, we end up at the Shuzheng Tibetan Village, aka Shuzheng Zhai Village (Zhai actually means "village") situated in the Shuzheng Valley above the Sleeping Dragon Lake and Shuzheng Waterfall.
This is the largest and busiest of all nine villages here in Jiuzhaigou Valley, about 400 of the total 1000 inhabitants of the valley area live here. Tibetan style log houses line the main street and a few side streets, colorful prayer flags wave in the breeze. Since agriculture is no longer permitted inside the National Park, many of the local population operate small stores here and sell various Tibetan souvenirs as well as yak butter tea and snacks.
