.

The lake water changes slightly with the seasons. In autumn and winter, the center of the lake is a black strip, like a giant, like a dragon, which adds mystery and legend to the lake water.

When it's sunny and windy, standing by the lake, you can clearly see the black dragon swimming from west to East, which is actually the result of the shaking of the dark green water plants growing in the lake. In the shallow water area near the outlet of xiaolongchi lake, green Spirogyra, brown algae and yellow algae grow luxuriantly. In addition to the radiation of sunlight, the water of the lake presents a variety of fantastic colors, such as green, yellow, green, yellow and light brown, just like the colorful pool in Jiuzhaigou.
