Jiuzhaigou enjoys worldwide fame for its astonishing scenery. Located in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Region, and Sichuan Province, it is a valley that stretches for more than 40 kilometers at the foot of the snow-capped Minshan Mountain. The real magic of Jiuzhaigou lies in the alpine lakes and waterfalls. Pure and clear as they are, the lakes of Jiuzhaigou have gorgeous colors. The colors of the lakes change with the seasons and the light of day.
In Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley and Zechawa Valley, there are 114 lakes altogether, each a unique size and shape. The 19 lakes in Shuzheng Valley are named "seas of Shuzheng". Wolong Lake has a milky white travertine dyke lying in the middle of the lake looks like a huge dragon lying across the bottom of the lake. Thus the lake is called Wolong Lake, which means Lying Dragon Lake. Of all the lakes, Multi-Color Lake is perhaps the most extraordinary. It's a radiant peacock blue waters, create an atmosphere of peace and mystery.-
Long Lake is the highest point of Jiuzhaigou, and is about eight kilometers long, and up to four kilometers deep. Despite its vastness, no water outlets have been found around it. It never floods during the rain season in summer or autumn and never becomes dry during the drought in winter or spring. Local legends attribute monster sightings to the lake, further enhancing its mysterious atmosphere.
Five-Flower Lake is located at the center of Jiuzhaigou. Sometimes it changes color to goose-feather yellow, sometimes it turns to ink-green, but most of the time it is a clear diamond-blue. Five-Flower Lake never freezes while other lakes all freeze during winter, much to the continued amazement of the local people who see the lake as a great mystery.China Tour Packages Including Jiuzhaigou
