　　九寨溝位于四川省阿壩藏族羌族自治州 九寨溝縣境內(nèi)，是白水溝上游白河的支溝，以有九個藏族村寨（所以又稱何藥九寨）而得名。九寨溝海拔在2千米以上，遍布原始森林，溝內(nèi)分布一百零八個湖泊，有“童話世界”之譽；九寨溝為全國重點風(fēng)景名勝區(qū)，并被列入世界遺產(chǎn)名錄。2007年5月8日，阿壩藏族羌族自治州九寨溝旅游景區(qū)經(jīng)國家旅游局正式批準為國家5A級旅游景區(qū)。

　　九寨溝的山水形成于第四紀古冰川時期，現(xiàn)保存著大量第四紀古冰川遺跡。九寨溝的地下水富含大量的碳酸鈣質(zhì)，湖底、湖堤、湖畔水邊均可見乳白色碳酸鈣形成的結(jié)晶體，來自雪山、森林。九寨溝的活水泉又異常潔凈，加之梯形狀的湖泊層層過濾，其水色愈加透明，能見度高達20米。翠海、疊瀑、彩林、雪峰、藏情，被譽為九寨溝“五絕”。水乳交融，美不勝收。

　　歷史上居于南絲綢之路的驛途，各族人民在傳承和勞作之中留下了寶貴的文化遺產(chǎn)，素有“民歌之鄉(xiāng)、九寨溝夏季 照片集(20張)琵琶之鄉(xiāng)、情歌之鄉(xiāng)”的美譽，白馬藏族“舞”和《南坪曲子》被列入國家級非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄。“九寨溝演藝產(chǎn)業(yè)群”被文化部命名為國家文化產(chǎn)業(yè)示范基地。大型歌舞劇《藏迷》于2008年正式落戶九寨溝藏迷大劇院，并定點演出。劍巖景區(qū) 長海景區(qū) 扎如景區(qū) 九寨溝的森林2萬余公頃，在2000米至4000米的高山上垂直密布。主要種紅松、云杉、冷杉、赤樺、領(lǐng)春木、連香樹等。在這里的原始森林中，棲息著珍貴的大熊貓、白唇鹿、蘇門羚、扭角羚、金貓等動物。海子中野鴨成群，天鵝、鴛鴦也常來嬉戲，是我國著名的自然保護區(qū)之一。

　　九寨溝的主要觀景點包括：寶鏡巖、盆景灘、蘆葦海、五彩池、珍珠灘、鏡海、犀牛海、諾日朗瀑布、五花海和長海等。九寨溝景觀五絕之一的雪峰，在藍天的映襯下放射出耀眼的光輝，像英勇的武士，整個冬季守候在九寨溝的身旁。站在遠處凝望，巍巍雪峰，尖峭峻拔，白雪皚皚，銀峰玉柱，直指藍天，景色極其壯美。
