Lake Pandas
Tiger Lake
Let's talk about these 108 lakes in Jiuzhaigou. There is a legend. Once upon a time a young man named Dage gave his beloved goddess beauty Vonosemo magic mirror, but inadvertently a mirror fell from the hands of the girl and broke, and his 108 fragments turned into 108 multi-colored lakes. Beautiful fairy tale, right? But in earnest, though not really want to talk about it, the secret of "colorful" lakes due to the fact that their water contains a large quantity of calcium carbonate. During interglyatsiala, interglacial epochs with relatively warm climate, calcium carbonate in the water is not cured, it leaked water and about 12 thousand. Years ago began to come to life and settle on the obstacles. Thousands of years have passed, and there were lakes in Jiuzhaigou with dams from the former calcium carbonate.
Legend has it that in heaven there is a pond with a five-door water "Yaochi." But this is just a fairy tale. And in Jiuzhaigou, you can actually see a pond is one part - blue, the other - the green, and the third - yellow, and even silver and purple ... When the wind blows, these paints are moved. They say that this goddess wash in the pond, and blush stained water, but in fact, this phenomenon is explained very simply - all the fault of colorful algae that give him such a range of colors)
Even more beautiful is the lake "Uhuahay." It concludes with three sides of the mountain in his arms. The shape of the lake looks like a gourd, delivered upside down, and with his mouth water flows continuously mottled. It is interesting that this form of a ten "gourd" resembles a deer leg. It is said that this is the spirit of the mountains on the hunt knocked beautiful sika deer.
Lake quietly and firmly lie in the green forest. And the sound of waterfalls leads you to another world. Waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou is also peculiar. For example, Nozhiran waterfall that pours through the trees. Its width is more than 100 meters through thick willows as it flows through the green wall, and at the root passes between them through the thick branches like a comb. But the most extraordinary Falls is a waterfall Chzhenchzhutan. At the top of the cliff is the threshold of which hit him water to form a number of smaller waterfalls and swift streams, he falls down in these water pearls.
Waterfall Panda
At the top of 3000 meters above sea level, is the largest lake in Jiuzhaigou - Lake "Changhai" next to it - snowy mountain. The world does not know about it until the 70s. Summer is very pleasant to swim in this lake by boat, and in the spring and autumn in its water beautifully reflects the colors, red leaves and white mountains, winter, ice covers the surface of the lake ...

Jiuzhaigou autumn
Winter in Jiuzhaigou Valley snowy and long. It usually lasts six months - from October to April. In winter, the valley hidden in snow, lake blocked with ice, and frozen waterfalls, turning into ice sculptures.
