Five Flower Lake, Jiuzhaigou Valley

The Five Flower Lake (Wu Hua Hai) is regarded as one of the wonders of Jiuzhai Valley due to its breathtaking colours which are a result of its lake-bottom travertine and colourful algae.

 The colours are formed by unevenly distributed submerged plants. Five Flower Lake’s autumn reflections are a spectacular display of nature. The intense colour combinations of the trees reflected on the water's surface are one reason why Jiuzhai Valley is often referred to as a photographer’s heaven and a painter’s nightmare!
