Although located in south China, Jiuzhaigou still has its own appearance in winter. Without too many visitors, you can enjoy the special site of Jiuzhaigou covered by white snow. Actually, ice and snow has become one of the tourist highlights of Jiuzhaigou in recent years. Three times previously, the Ice-waterfall Tourism Festival of Large Jiuzhai, Aba and the Southern Ice and Snow Festival of Sichuan, China have been successfully held here simultaneously. They are usually held when winter comes to Jiuzhaigou, lasting about two months. During this time, a series of activities related to the beautiful Jiuzhaigou Valley are held successively, such as a photographic competition, ice sports, concerts and the Tibetan celebrations for Spring Festival.

As mentioned, the local Tibetans will hold some celebrations during Chinese Spring Festival. The most important and largest one is the Mazi Fair held in Zharusi Temple, which is located in Shuzheng Valley. Held annually on May 15th of the Chinese lunar calendar, it is a vital religious event for Tibetans living in Jiuzhaigou. It is said that this fair is held to commemorate a brave deity of Benbo, which is one branch of Tibetan Buddhism. This deity is called Mazi, responsible for vanquishing demons and monsters. Three days before the festival, all of the monks in Zharusi Temple will be gathered together to celebrate being a reverent Buddhist and practicing vegetarianism. On the day, Tibetans will dress up and come here to participate in the celebration.
