Heavy snow on Wednesday night, November 18, 2009, blankets Jiuzhai Valley (Jiuzhaigou) in southwestern China's Sichuan province, turning the landscape from a flamboyant Autumn scene into a fairy tale winterland. It is said to be the biggest snow so far this winter in Jiuzhai valley, and has lowered the entrance fee from 220 yuan peak price to 80 yuan to cope with the slack period in ticket sales.[Photo: Agencies]
