Vale of Eternal Blossoms
Vale of Eternal Blossoms is a new zone introduced in Mists of Pandaria.
The ancient seat of the pandaren empire has been hidden for generations, shrouded in mists and walled-off by impassible mountains. The waters of the Vale are believed to have mystical powers... which has attracted the attention of ancient enemies as well as power-hungry factions within the Alliance and Horde. What secrets lie buried below this mystical font of power?
- This zone has the Mogu’Shan Palace raid.

No one really knows yet, it was just on the map they showed at Blizzcon.

From the sound of the description and the layout the map it looks like this maybe the final level 89-90 zone

It seems like it's a max level zone, not for leveling. Originally Posted by pakoa

Oh god. That just gave me a horrible, horrible thought that this zone is going to be filled with Harrison Jones. Originally Posted by Baiyn

Entry raids are usually not that big (Aside from Naxx). And neither Uld or ICC were entry raids. Oh and the raid itself can still be gigantic, despite the low boss count. Originally Posted by ShadowLora

Entry raid is no excuse to make a small raid. But I am looking forward to seeing this new place and I can probably assume I'll like it! Originally Posted by Venziir

Original Onyxia's Lair was an entry raid, if i remember correctly. And as far as I remember it had a total of one (1) boss. So that's a growth of x6. Originally Posted by pvpKILLSwow

There are usually entry raidS, and it's the same for mop, there will be 3 raids, this is one of them. Most likely we will get around 12 bosses total from the 3 raids. Originally Posted by pvpKILLSwow

I actually kinda prefer that. Added some variation so you're not in a place with one aesthetic. Originally Posted by Markluzz

Good work can still be improved upon.

Sounds likely. Also Blizzard said there will be a lot of underground content here, so the scale is deceiving. Originally Posted by Bludstorm

Judging from what little info we have about the zone, I don't think that it's going to be a joke/pop culture one like Uldum is.
