[Explanation] On August 8, 2017, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurred in Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan Province, and the Jiuzhaigou scenic area in the territory was seriously damaged.
After restoration and reconstruction after the earthquake, Jiuzhaigou is now back with "makeup" and the scenery is even better than before.
On September 28, the 7th China (Sichuan) International Tourism Investment Conference and the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Reopening Ceremony was held in Jiuzhaigou County, marking the official reopening of the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area.

If the whole area is open this time, we will restore the entire scenic spot on the basis of 85% of the opening after the earthquake.
Everyone can see the scenic spots above the Panda Sea (Five Flower Sea), the Panda Sea, the Arrow Bamboo Sea, the Swan Sea, the Virgin Forest and other scenic spots.
You can experience the sights and landscapes of the entire open area of the scenic area, which is 49 kilometers one way and 98 kilometers back and forth.
[Explanation] With the breeze blowing across the blue water surface, the sea hidden in the dense woods has ripples... The panda sea and the arrow bamboo sea, which were once severely damaged and once "disappeared" from the sight of tourists, are now It has been brand new and "ready to go".
The completion and trial operation of the Panda Sea Tunnel not only ended the long history of bottlenecks restricting the traffic in the scenic area, but also laid the foundation for the restoration of the entire Jiuzhaigou area.

I am very happy to be back in Jiuzhaigou. I have been here for the third time. Every time I am surprised by the natural scenery, colors, peaks, and landscapes here.
I think Jiuzhaigou is still beautiful.
I think Jiuzhaigou is as beautiful as before, maybe even more beautiful than before.
I think the post-disaster reconstruction of Jiuzhaigou is very good. It not only provided an opportunity, but also made great achievements in rebuilding Jiuzhaigou so beautifully.
[Explanation] The dams and dams that were once destroyed by the earthquake and the Lake of Sparks, where the lake has almost dried up, have now restored the pre-earthquake ecosystem.
At the same time, due to the earthquake, the Sea of Sparkling and Ssangyong Sea penetrated, forming the Sea of Sparkling Waterfall.
Xiao Weiyang, a senior engineer of Jiuzhaigou Administration Bureau, said that the return of the beautiful scenery is by no means an easy task. While opening it to tourists, they will continue to do a good job of follow-up monitoring.

It is a scientific research process for Spark Sea to repair it, so we will always pay attention to it in this process.
We have been monitoring it. One is to monitor the stability of the dam. At the same time, we need to monitor the stability of the ecosystem around the lake, including a series of scientific issues such as species diversity, vegetation restoration or travertine deposition. Related research institutes are continuously researching and monitoring.
If you come to see Jiuzhaigou during the National Day (holiday), you can see how the sea of sparks has returned to its original state.
At the same time, you can see a waterfall between the Sea of Sparks and the Shuanglong Sea called Sparks Sea Waterfall.
[Explanation] Not only that, but the Jiuzhaigou scenic spot that "returns with makeup" has also upgraded its infrastructure.
In the Jiuzhaigou Smart Management Center, application systems such as forest protection fire monitoring, ground disaster monitoring and early warning, scenic spot ticketing, and intelligent monitoring are displayed on a large screen.
According to Chen Haoran, deputy director of the Planning and Construction Department of Jiuzhaigou Administration Bureau, the project is the primary task of Jiuzhaigou’s post-disaster reconstruction.
The commissioning of the project can not only better protect the heritage ecology of the scenic spot, but also ensure a more reasonable management of the scenic spot.
At the same time, according to data from the ticketing platform of Jiuzhaigou Smart Center, Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area will usher in a tourist peak during the National Day holiday.

It contains many of our systems, including the forest protection fire protection system, the natural heritage monitoring system, and the earth disaster monitoring system, as well as our monitoring, our ticketing data and a series of things for the smart management of our scenic spots. Played a very good technical support.
This is convenient for our comprehensive decision-making.
[Concurrent] Yang Fuying, Deputy Director of Tourism Marketing Department of Jiuzhaigou Administration Bureau
The National Day holiday is longer than the Mid-Autumn Festival, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is 3 days, and the National Day holiday is 7 days this year, so we are also open to the entire scenic area. It is expected that the National Day holiday will also usher in a peak of tourism in Jiuzhaigou.
