Jiuzhaigou County

Jiuzhaigou County (simplified Chinese: 九寨沟县; traditional Chinese: 九寨溝縣; pinyin: Jiǔzhàigōu Xiàn; Tibetan: གཟི་རྩ་སྡེ་དགུ་རྫོང་།, Wylie: gZi rtsa sde dgu rDzong, ZYPY: Sirza Degu Zong ) is a county of Sichuan Province, China. It is under the administration of the Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture.[3] Formerly called Nanping County (南坪县; Nánpíng Xiàn), it was renamed in 1998 to reflect the fact that the Jiuzhaigou Valley is located within its administration.[4] The county seat, Nanping Town, was created in 2013 by the merger of Yongle Town (永乐镇), Yongfeng Township (永丰乡), and Anle Township (安乐乡).[5]
