Description
Jiuzhaigou Valley, located in Sichuan Province, China, is a stunning natural reserve renowned for its multi-colored lakes, cascading waterfalls, snow-capped peaks, and rich Tibetan culture. Designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 1992, it is often referred to as a "fairyland on Earth" due to its vibrant blue, green, and purple waters, which result from mineral deposits and light refraction. The valley is home to rare wildlife, making it an ecologically significant area. However, earthquakes, climate change, and excessive tourism pose challenges to its preservation. In response, digital conservation techniques such as 3D imaging, virtual reality (VR), and environmental monitoring are being implemented to safeguard its fragile ecosystem. These efforts align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15 (Life on Land), ensuring that Jiuzhaigou's breathtaking landscapes are preserved for future generations.
