Huohua
Hai Lake
Huohua
Hai - Sparkling Lake (elevation 2,187 meters) with a total area of 36,352 square
meters, and a depth of 9 meters. The water is blue and crystal clear. When the
fog has dispersed in the morning and the sun has risen, there seems a lot of sparkles
flashing and twinkling on the lake's surface. Sparkling Lake, overwhelmed by jade
greens all around, looks like a great jadeite dish full of marvellous pearls and
jewels. The western hills command a spectacular view of the sparkling reflections
of bright sunlight upon the lake's deep blue surface. In summer, wild
flowers bloom in brilliant reds and purples. The morning dew compliments the sparkling
surface of the lake, and leaves a great deal for visitors to savour.

Lake ( Sleeping Dragon Lake)

Wolong
Lake (Sleeping Dragon Lake) | Sleeping
Dragon Lake (elevation 2,215 meters) covers an area of about 61,838 square meters
with a depth of 22 meters. In the middle of the lake, submerged, is a dimly visible
yellowish "Lying Dragon" in some 20 meters of water. When a gentle wind from the
mountain whips up ripples on the lake's clear surface, it looks as if the "Dragon"
were stretching herself, and once the wind increases intensity, the "Dragon" begins
to shake her head and wag her tail, as if poising for take off. Sometimes the
dragon appears as if it will jump out of the water, but suddenly it may disappear
totally. Shuzheng
Falls Shuzheng
Falls stretches several kilometres. Far from the waterfall, you can hear an astonishing
thundering noise; water cloud and colorful rainbows reach to the sky to form a
wide and dynamic water screen of grandeur. Blue water and clear sky, the singing
birds and swaying reeds present you with a wonderful vista. Tiger
Lake Tiger
Lake (elevation 2,298 meters) where tigers used to drink water is directly above
Shuzheng Falls. The serene and secluded Tiger Lake builds up great momentum, which
explodes in the vitality and excitement of Shuzheng waterfalls. Rhinoceros
Lake Rhinoceros
Lake (elevation 2,315 meters) has a depth of 12 meters, and covers an area of
over 200,000 square meters. The Lake is broad and deep blue. The volume of water
is static all year round. It was said that peaceful Rhinoceros Lake was endowed
with a mysterious power. Far into the distance is Mount Goddess Woluosemo. Rhinoceros
Lake is also the only place in Jiuzhaigou that provides boat-renting services
to travelers. | |
