Zechawa Valley

When you travel to Jiuzhaigou National Park, you should never miss the Zechawa Valley. Zechawa Valley, located in the Jiuzhaigou National Park, starts from Nuorilang Waterfall and ends at the Long Lake. As the longest valley in Jiuzhaigou National Park, Zechawa Valley includes a lot of famous landscapes such as Five Colored Pool, Long Lake and Seasonal Lakes.

The Five Colored Pool is a small exquisite lake in Zechawa Valley. Despite the lake modest dimensions and depth, the Five Colored Pool has a richly colored underwater landscape with some of the brightest and cleanest waters in the area. On sunny days, the lake presents various colors when the lake ripples, shining with red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple light. When you travel to Jiuzhaigou National Park, you should never miss this wonderful photography place.

Long Lake, the largest lake in Jiuzhaigou National Park, is a natural reservoir which collects runoff water from the surrounding mountains. Encircled by cedars all over the mountain, the Long Lake bathed in the sunshine looks like the jade palace in the heaven when you look at it from afar. A peculiar cypress, one side full of leaves and the other cut out near the Long Lake, looks like a single-armed old man. You should not miss the Long Lake When you travel to Jiuzhaigou National Park.

Zechawa Valley is one of the three valleys in Jiuzhaigou National Park and the longest and highest of the three. (The other two are Shuzheng Valley and Rize Valley.) Here, you also can visit the Seasonal Lakes which are a series of 3 lakes (Lower Seasonal Lake, Middle Seasonal Lake, Upper Seasonal Lake) along the main road. All the lakes have plenty of blue water because of the ample rainfall in the autumn and a low level of green water in spring and winter while the water dries up and turns into grassland in early summer.
