The Wucai Pond

Of all the jiuzhaigou lakes, the Wucai (Five-Colored) Pond is small but most graceful, noted for its bright and distinct colors. Cobbles on the bottom shape in prisms of clearly visible chromatism between texture and water plants. Under the shining sun, the water forever appears dark blue, glittering and verdant.

Legend has it that the pond was where Goddess semo washed and combed her hair snd God Dage came everyday to bring her water. After a considerable period of time, 189 stone steps were formed because they were coming up and going down, and, Semo's rouge came off from her pretty face and colorized this pond. People in love believe that, if they walk down the steps to the side of the pond and make a vow to Heaven, and then walk up along the 189 steps back, they will certainly lead a happy married life.
