Close by the Giant Buddha is a well-crafted but often overlooked bridge.

One strange observation is how the pandas could have been allowed to roam much more. The facility is gigantic.

An icon of China, it contrasts against the strength that the country seeks. Would the species have survived if it did not become an icon?

A close-up of a face-changing artist shows how the mask disappears into the collar. Once a mystery, now unmasked by high FPS cameras with pre-capture.

Defying pain and showcasing strength is another theme. This was had to be heavily cropped but the sensor showed its strengths.

A different place and production. This is the Fantasy Emei show at Xiangcheng Grand Theatre. Dancers emerging from fog evokes intrigue.

Red and yellow are not exactly go-to complements, but it works well here in the afterlife scene.

Darkening a scene does so much to add intrigue. A well-trained goat and its handler takes center stage in this scene.

A pen of Yaks is partially hidden amidst this dreamy landscape. A phrase that kept ringing in my ear during this journey was - "F8 and be there".

Enclaves like these are what Jiuzhaigou stand out. Takes a bit of a walk but the view is worth it. Had to go to ISO50 for this. Missing my ND filter.

Jiuzhaigou is packed with sightseers. But they have good reason to flock in droves.
