## About Munigou

Munigou is covered in forest, and its mountains, woods, caves and lakes complement one another beautifully. Its large and small lakes and the magnificent travertine pools and waterfalls are its most stunning features. Munigou is a dazzling new star on the “Jiuzhaigou–Huanglong” golden tourist route. Zhaga Waterfall stands 104 metres tall and is the highest calcified waterfall in China.
Separated from Zhaga Waterfall by a mountain, Erdaohai lies at the end of the Munigou scenic area and is the highlight of Munigou. It combines the charms of both Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. At the deepest point of Erdaohai, beneath an ancient pine, lies Pearl Lake, whose waters are said to help with various skin conditions.
