九寨沟风景名胜区位于四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州，是一条纵深50多千米的山沟谷地，因为沟内有9个藏族村寨而得名。景区在20世纪70年代被发现，1992年被联合国教科文组织纳入世界自然文化遗产名录，1997年被纳入世界“人与生物圈”保护网络，是迄今为止世界上唯一同时获得这两项殊荣的景区。
The Jiuzhai Valley Scenic and Historic Area is situated in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Jiuzhaigou, literally “Nine Village Valley” in Chinese, derives its name from the 9 Tibetan villages along the 50km-plus valley. Discovered in the 1970s, Jiuzhai Valley was declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1992 and incorporated into the International Man and Biosphere Reserve network n 1997. It is hitherto the world’s only scenic area to claim both of these special honors.
