2天2 Days九寨沟以层层翠湖与叠瀑闻名，名出「九个藏寨」。颜色夺目，但更值得记住的是高原水文与地方生活——湖不是布景，是人家与季节共同写就的地方。
Jiuzhaigou is famed for terraced turquoise lakes and falls; its name means nine Tibetan villages. Color is striking; steadier memory holds alpine hydrology beside local life.
读九寨，先读地名与民族聚落，再读保护地叙事。少用「童话」套话，多看水如何被命名、被守护。
Read the place-name and settlements before paradise slogans. Water is named and guarded—not a fairy backdrop.
