Five Flower Lake (also called Wuhua Hai) is a lake in Jiuzhaigou National Park, in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. It is one of the park's best-known sights, and visitors come to see its water, which shows a range of colors across its surface.
What you will see
The lake is known for its clear water and for the submerged logs on its bed. These logs, together with the light and the surrounding water, produce patterns of color. The lake shows brilliant blues, greens and yellows. The colors are attributed to mineral deposits and algae in the water, and they can look quite different from one part of the lake to another.
