Five-Flower Lake, also known as Wuhua Hai Lake, is located in Jiuzhaigon National Park. This national park is also called the Jiuzhaigo Valley, a lush and refreshing valley. It is one of the most important natural resources in China’s Sichuan Province. But why is this lake so beautiful and unique?
Five-Flower Lake is shallow and this is one of the reasons why the lake is more beautiful. The trunks of various trees and plants are resting under the water of Five-Flower Lake. The sunlight shining on the lake water and the reflection of the plants in the clear water has created a wonderful view.

Even the tiny fish swimming in it are clearly visible, which is why it has turned the Five-Flower Lake into a paradise in the heart of China. It is interesting to know that the clarity of the water of the Five-Flower Lake is due to the high amount of natural calcium carbonate in its water and it does not become cloudy in any season. Among the Five-Flower Lake, there is a waterfall that divides the lake into two parts or two smaller lakes. There are 17 lakes in the Jiuzhaigo Valley, which this is arguably one of the best.

According to the indigenous legends of the Jiuzhaigo region, this lake is home to fairies and is considered a sacred lake. Some still believe that fairies used to come out of the lake in the past. It is likely that the trunks of algae-covered trees at the bottom of the lake misled the villagers into thinking they had seen a fairy in the lake. Another reason why the natives thought that the Five-Flower Lake are home to elves and fairies is that the lake water does not freeze in winter, because everything around the lake freezes this season, except the Five-Flower Lake, which of course is due to the minerals in the water and not a fairy. In addition to gases and minerals, the lake’s connection to Lake Chang through the canal is another reason why its water does not freeze because Chang contains a lot of lime, which raises the water temperature and prevents freezing. The natives also believe that the greenery of the whole region is due to the presence of the Five Flowers Lake, because the water of this lake is sacred and causes the freshness of the plants and the flowering of the flowers.
