The Chang Lake

With the altitude is 3,060m, the length is 5km, the width is 600m and the area is 93,000 sq. m., the Chang (Long) Lake is located on the end of Zechawa Gully. It is in a U-shape and over 100 meters deep, of the highest altitude and widest surface of all Jiuzhaigou lakes. Its water appears ink blue, and peaks are snow-clad all the year around. Surrounded by verdant forests, it collects thawed water from high mountains. Hereby, people of Jiuzhaigou call it a “lake that forever takes in water”. Standing on the highway, you will have a good overlook of the lake. Here are ancient trees in complete tranquility. In winter, ice is as thick as 60cm, making the lake a good skiing ground.
