Jiuzhaigou means “valley of nine villages,” because it once harbored
nine, but other numbers are more significant now. About 80 hotels are
clustered cleanly at the mouth of a Y-shaped, 20-mile-long valley in
the Min Mountains of central China, where 280 buses wait to shuttle
this day’s 18,000 or so visitors up the very pretty route.
