literally “Valley of Nine Villages”; Tibetan: Zitsa Degu (gzi rtsa sde dgu)) is a nature reserve in the north of
Sichuan, a province in south western China. It is known for its many multi-level waterfals and colorful
lakes, and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage in 1992. It belongs to the category V (Protected
Landscape) in the IUCN system of protected area categorization
The remote region was inhabited by various Tibetan and Qiang peoples for centuries, but was not
officially discovered by the government until 1972. Extensive logging took place until 1979, when the
Chinese government banned such activity and made the area a national park in 1982. An Administration
Bureau was established and the site officially opened to tourism in 1984; layout of facilities and
regulations were completed in 1987. The site was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in
1992 and a World Biosphere Reserve in 1997.
Since opening, tourist activity has increased every year: from 5,000 in 1984 to 170,000 in 1991, 160,000
in 1995, to 200,000 in 1997, including about 3,000 foreigners. Visitors numbered 1,190,000 in 2002.As of
2004, the site averages 7,000 visits per day, with a quota of 12,000 being reportedly enforced during high
season. The Town of Zhangzha at the exit of the valley and the nearby Songpan County feature an
ever-increasing number of hotels, including several polished five-stars, such as Sheraton.
