Jiuzhaigou Valley 九寨溝 (2) --- 5-color lake





Five-color lake



The local people believe that
the 5-color lake is a spiritual lake.
Trees and plants flourish at the
vicinity of the lake





The lake is names the five-color lake because of the different colors of the water in the lake.

A long bridge with a roof is built adjoining the lake and the peacock river. The surface of the lake resembles the tail of a peacock while the meandering river is like the neck of the bird; three old trees in that area are like the sprouting growth on the head of a peacock.

The view of the whole of the lake from higher ground is like a peacock spreading its colorful tail and that is the reason the adjoining river is named the peacock river.
