Destination 12: FIVE-FLOWER LAKE, CHINA


One of the Most Beautiful Lake in the World

Five-Flower Lake, China

The Wuhua Hai, or Five-Flower Lake, is the main attraction of the Jiuzhaigon National Park in China. The highlight of it is the crystal clarity of the water, which allows you to see just what's underneath the turquoise-tinted surface.


The shallow lake glisten different shades of turquoise and its floor are littered with fallen ancient tree trunks. Wuhua Hai is one in the legendary 108 haizi, or multicolored lakes, in the National Park, that according to legend, were created after an ancient Goddess dropped a mirror that her lover had given her, smashing it into 108 pieces.

Five Flower Lake (elevation 2,472 meters) is 5 meters deep. The water that contains calcium carbonate as well as hydrophytes with different colors presents a versicolor sight, diamond blue, blackish green and light yellow, etc, so it is named Five-Flower Lake. Under the sunlight, reflecting in the exquisite lake, the colors imitate the beautiful hues of the peacock's feathers. Looking down to the lake's bottom, you can see water bubbling out of a deep well
