Vacation in China 2009: The Jadeite Valley

The Jadeite Valley, or Lover's Valley, is a newly developed scenic area in Mt. Huangshan. It's a canyon of 2.4 km long with 20 km in depth. The mountain stream in the valley stems from various peaks such as ShiXing, Godness and Stone Bamboo...In the canyon, the stream is dotted with hundreds of coloful pools with various shapes. The crystal clear water produces inverted images of the green hills in both banks, and reflects the multi-colored rocks at the bottom of the pool. Thanks to the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (2000), Jadeite Valley became famous overnight. Some major scenes of this movie were filmed here.
