Colorful Pool, also known as Wucai Chi, is a small lake within Jiuzhaigou National Park in Sichuan Province, China. The park lies in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, in the mountains of western Sichuan.
What to expect
The pool is modest in size, but its water shows a wide range of colours, from deep blue to emerald green. Because of this, it is one of the most photographed spots in Jiuzhaigou, and many visitors make it a stop on their walk through the park. Its appeal lies in how the colours shift and layer across the surface, so the view is worth taking your time over.
