The Five Flower Lake


It sounds beautiful is it? Yet it is the most beautiful multi coloured lakes in the world due to its breath taking scenery is the result of different shades of turquoise and its floor is naturally littered with fallen ancient tree trunks. Ah! It must be good for a vacation here.

We can clearly see the ancient fallen tree and colourful algae decorated the bottom of the lake which is very pleasing to the eyes and it is marked as one of the wonders state in China, Jiuzhaigou. It is the pride of Jiuzhaigou. The interesting part is when we looking down from the mountain, we will find the lake appears a pattern of a deer’s leg in the abdomen of the cucurbit.


It presents a versicolor sight like azure blue, blackish green and light yellow that contains calcium carbonate as well as hydrophytes and that is the reason why it is called Five Flower Lake. From the picture provided we can see from the top the clear colourful base of the lake. Is it amazing yet a place to behold. The lake lies at the end of the upper reach of Peacock River which is approximately 8110 feet above the sea level.




I am going to share you some fairy tales that has been a belief to local people. There is legend why it happens to look like that. According to the legend told by local people, once ago, deity of all mountains accidently hurt the holy deer which belonged to the king of the Forest when he was looking for water source. The King of Forest was so mad knowing that news that he chased the deity and wanted to kill him. Other deities cut off one leg of the holy deer in order to help the deity of all mountains. Then the holy deer fell down into the lake and became the colourful Five Flower Lake. It might sounds ridiculous but it is the story being told by the oldest.
