brief introduction

Wucaichi lake is the quintessence of Jiuzhaigou lake, where there are aquatic plant communities such as Spirogyra, CHAROPHYTA and fern, as well as herbs such as Phragmites australis, sarcandra and water wick. The chlorophyll content of these aquatic communities is different, and they can show different colors in the lake water rich in calcium carbonate. In the same lake, some waters are blue, some bay branches are light green, some waters are crimson yellow, some springs are pink blue It's changeable. It's beautiful! When the sun is at its zenith, the mountain wind blows or the stone strikes the water, it can also splash a circle of golden red, golden yellow and snow-green ripples, which is particularly enchanting.

Changhai lake is the largest and deepest of all the lakes in Jiuzhaigou. It is about 8 kilometers long from north to South and 4.4 kilometers wide from east to west. With an area of about 2 million square meters and an altitude of more than 3000 meters, it is the highest Lake in Jiuzhaigou. The surface of Changhai is wide and there is no water outlet on the surface. However, despite the heavy rain in summer and autumn, the water does not overflow the dike, and the drought in winter and spring does not dry up. The continuous peaks at the end of the long sea are covered with snow all the year round and covered with silver makeup. The altitude is about 4000-5000 meters above sea level. In spring and autumn, the scenery of Changhai becomes more and more charming: the world of glass in the water reflects the snow mountains surrounded by flowers in spring, and the red maple of Huangliao in golden autumn; when winter comes, the four mountains are full of flowers and trees, which is amazing. At this time, Changhai has become an ice lake. The ice layer on the lake is 60 cm thick, and trucks can also drive on it.

Chawa Valley, as the left branch of Jiuzhaigou scenic spot, has many scenic spots and beautiful scenery. Zechawa Valley is 18 kilometers long from NuoRiLang hotel to changhaizi. It is the longest and highest among the four tourist routes in Jiuzhaigou. Chawagou is full of mountains and straight mountains. You can see the snow capped peaks in the distance and the glacier "U" shaped Valley in the bright sun.

Introduction to scenic spots

The main scenic spots of zechawagou include: xiajihai, zhongjihai, shangjihai, wucaichi, Changhai, etc.

Ji Jiehai

Zhawagou has three seasonal seas, which are far away from each other and have their own characteristics: the former is close to the colorful pool, surrounded by cliffs, mountains and lakes. It is said that it is the place where Jiaolong is hiding, also known as "Canglong sea". In autumn and rainy season, the lake is blue with rising water. In summer, the water is shallow and emerald green.

The mid season sea is located in the middle of zechawa valley. Surrounded by forests, pine vines are dancing in the forest, mosses are everywhere, and the dark blue surface of the lake is like a solidified gem.

Next season, the sea is near zechawa village, and the water color is the most blue and transparent, just like bright blue ink. There is a birch forest by the lake. Strawberries, wild fruits, grass and fungi are picked up everywhere. Every autumn, birch leaves turn from green to yellow. Birch forest is as golden as soaking in the sun.

The amount of water in seasonal sea changes with seasons, and it will be surplus and dry up at the same time. In autumn, the rainfall is abundant and the lake water is full. In winter and spring, the water level gradually drops. Until early summer, the lake water even dries up and the lake bed is covered with grass. In the past, Haizi became a grazing grassland again.

Multicolored pool

One kilometer down from Changhai is wucaichi. This mountain road is 3000 meters above sea level. Wucaichi is hidden deep in the valley below the mountain road. Wucaichi is 2995 meters above sea level, 6.6 meters deep and covers an area of 5645 square meters. Located under the long sea and hidden in the towering green forest, the lake presents green, light blue, tile gray and other color blocks, which is like a unique tapestry, small and exquisite, gorgeous and beautiful. Whenever the sun shines on the color pool, as long as you hit the water surface, the water suddenly rippled circle moving, flashing red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple halo. In the golden autumn season, the layers of forest are dyed with a myriad of colors, which are reflected in the water. The gorgeous patterns lead people into the dream of banchen.

Changhai

Changhai is located at the end of zechawa Valley, with an altitude of more than 3100 meters and a width of about 600 meters. The deepest part of the lake is more than 100 meters. It is the widest and deepest Haizi in Jiuzhaigou lake.

There is no water outlet around Changhai, and the water source comes from alpine snowmelt. Strangely enough, Changhai never dries up, and the levee overflows. Therefore, Tibetans call it "a treasure gourd that can't be dried if it's not filled".

The long sea is dark blue, surrounded by emerald mountains. The peaks on the opposite side are dressed in white armor in early autumn, and the ice peak in the middle is very cold. There is an old man's pine with one arm on the Bank of the lake at the north entrance. It has a peculiar shape, with branches and leaves on one side and bald as a knife on the other.

Enjoy the long sea from the left side of the entrance of a bifurcated path into the left, turn to the side of the long sea view. Here, the huge pine is tall and straight, the eyes are full of green, and the colorful leaves form a forest.

In winter, Changhai lake is frozen, which is a silver fairy tale world. At this time, Changhai has become a natural ice playground, where visitors can enjoy skating and horse racing.

Jiuzi Tongxin stone

There is also a small landscape in zhawagou: on a flat, green lawn, there is a heart-shaped boulder with a weight of tens of tons, on which there are nine fir, spruce, birch and cypress trees. Stone and tree root crisscross, embracing each other, is vividly known as the "nine sons stone". It's amazing that trees grow in the water of Jiuzhaigou, but it's even more amazing that trees grow on the rocks here.

Jiuzhaigou scenic spots are distributed in the shape of "Y". Among them, chawa Valley is located in the left branch of "Y" (the right branch is rizegou, and the lower branch is shuzhenggou). From nurilang service center to Changhai, it is nearly 18 kilometers long. It is the highest tourist route in Jiuzhaigou, and the scenic spots are concentrated at the end of the valley.
