| | The Kongque Riverbed [edit this] | | The Kongque (Peacock) Riverbed covers 310 meters and links the north end of the Wuhua (Five-Flower) Lake. The narrow river bed winds its way through forests, on the banks are flow ering trees and singing birds. Running water helps to shift color patterns: dark green, sapphire blue, golden yellow, etc. Waves alter the reflected images, like a peacock spreading its tail lo display its fine feathers. | Edit by: Dorothy | |
| The Jianzhu Lake [edit this] | | With the altitude is 2,618m, the depth is 6m and the area is 170,000 sq. m., the Jianzhu (Arrow Bamboo) Lake is noted for its open space and dark blue water. It is the feeding site of giant pandas, that grows a large amount of arrow bamboo. As it neighbors the Xiongmao Lake, hence the name.
In 2001, reputed Chinese movie director Zhang Yimou selected this site for his production of the movie “The Hero”, because of its charming scenery. | Edit by: Dorothy | |
| The Jing Lake [edit this] | | With the altitude is 2,390m, the average depth is 11m, the deepest is 24.3m and the area is 190,000 sq. m., the Jing (Mirror) Lake is one of the best views of Jiuzhaigou. The inverted reflection on the lake water is as clear as that of a mirror, which creates an exact copy of the ground and aerial images into the water surface. In early morning when rosy dawn reddens the horizon and the water is calm. The blue sky, white clouds and snow mountains are all reflected on the lakebed, into such a wonderful view of “Fish swims among clouds, and birds fly in water.” A thick rattan on the lake bank tangles a tall tree, both jointly pushing themselves up into the sky. Under the tree, you will have endless imaginations: greenness that the tree furnishes the rattan, the lingering feeling of the rattan to the tree. Thus, the Jing Lake is affectionately called the Lovers' Park, where lovers coming from afar may take a photo to express their loyalty to each other. | Edit by: Dorothy | |
| The Cao Lake [edit this] | | With the altitude is 2,910m and the area is 30,000 sq. m., the Cao (Grass) Lake is a semi-swamp lake.
Tucked under in deep cliffs, it neighbors the Tian'e Lake as its lower end. It shapes like a long belt, quiet and graceful. As the deep valley prevents sunlight from coming in until very late of the day, the lake gives off a mysterious bearing. In summer and autumn, in grass groves are yellow, white, red, and purple spots of flowers. Waterfowls sweep in and out of the flowery blankets, giving out ringing calls once in a while, when you feel even bleaker in the deep valley. In autumn, wild grass turns yellow. Looking from a distance, you will feel a bit nostalgic. Especially in rainy days, light blue mists hover on the water, while raindrops drive into water like millions of silver arrows. Green rings splash up and present a hollow realm. | Edit by: Dorothy | |
| The Jianzhu Lake Waterfalls [edit this] | | With the altitude is 2,618m, the height is 7m and the width is 150m, The Jianzhu (Arrow Bamboo) Lake Waterfalls' water runs into the forests, where collapsed stones form the dikes that separate the water into a number of small streams. They are running along the dikes and form the Jianzhu Lake Waterfall. It is an arc-shaped waterfall with a large span and small drop. Here, the blue lake and white water, and dancing splashes create blue-white scenery, alternatively dynamic and still. | Edit by: Dorothy | |
