Five Flower Lake, China
From series “Fabulous Nooks of the World with Striking Colorful Shades”
One of the main natural attractions of China is Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve featuring the incredibly beautiful and mysterious Five Flower Lake. One of its main characteristics is explained by the name of the lake. Its water periodically changes colors and can be yellow, then green, and then blue. Most often, the water is of saturated diamond-blue color. The constant change of color is just one of the features of the lake.
The nature reserve has several lakes that are usually dry in summer and freeze in cold weather. The Five Flower Lake never freezes even in the midst of the frosty winter, and in summer the water level in it remains constant, despite the lack of rain and hot days. Locals consider the lake to be sacred because of these amazing features. People treat the place with great respect, as a manifestation of higher powers.
