With the altitude is 2,315m, the average depth is 12m, the length is 2km and the area is 200,000 sq. m., the Xi'niu (Rhinoceros) Lake is the second largest lake in Jiuzhaigou, next to the Chang (Long) Lake, and the one of the most changeable color scenes. It is affectionately called the Crown of All Lakes. In early morning, inverted reflections in water seem partly real and partly illusionary, when one is unable to tell the sky from water. Around the lakesides grow dense trees and grasses. In spring and summer, everything is green, being followed by lull autumn scenery where red leaves and green woods reflected their inverted images in water. In particular, tourists find themselves so indulged in the vast stretch of the fascinating blue lake water that they often forget moving ahead. Here is also a much desired place for photos rap hers and painters. |
