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.

For the past 10 years, we are living in a condominium community. Behind two of the four buildings is a large, protected green space, very wooded and natural. The space has provided a safe refuge for a herd of deer. I've taken and posted quite a few of the images of the deer. Much to my disappointment, since the fall, the herd had disappeared. This week, three of the deer, a mother and two younger ones have reappeared. Hooray!! Taken this morning. I had to be quick through the glass. They used to be adapted to me, but I guess we will all have to be retrained and familiarized.

Thanks for viewing!
