Seasonal Lakes

There are three seasonal lakes in Zechawa Gully, each being far away from another, with distinctive features. The upper seasonal lake is close to Zechawa Village, with a stretch of birches, wild strawberries, grass and fungi. In autumn, birch leaves turn from green to yellow, bathing in golden sunrays. Autumn winds sweep by, gently waving fruitful leaves. The mid-seasonal lake sits on the middle of Zechawa Valley, surrounded by dense forests. Here, pines and vines are dancing on soft lichens, playing a pool of sapphire-blue water. The upper-seasonal lake neighbors the Wucai (Five-Colored) Pond, with steep cliffs around. This is said to be the place where fierce dragons hide themselves, which is also called the “Tibetan Dragon Lake”. In dry-water season, a Class-I UN-Protected plant, “Ruswich” grows on the lakebed.
