The travertine lakes, waterfalls and forests of Jiuzhaigou constitute a fragile world heritage ecology and are also connected to Tibetan villages. Time-based traffic restrictions, official sightseeing buses and closed restoration areas are core protection measures; water color and snow cover naturally change.
