Changhai Lake is located at the end of Zechawagou, with an "S" shape. Opposite it are snow-capped peaks, cirques, "U"-shaped valleys and other typical glacier landscapes, and lush trees and leaves on the shore. There is no outlet around Changhai Lake, and the water source comes from the melting snow of the mountains. Strangely, Changhai Lake never dries up or overflows its banks, so Tibetans call it a treasure gourd that "can't be filled and never leaks".
Changhai Lake is dark blue, surrounded by green mountains and peaks on the opposite side. It is the highest, widest and deepest lake in Jiuzhaigou. In early autumn, it is covered with white armor. In midwinter, the ice layer of Changhai Lake is 60 cm thick, and heavy trucks can also drive on it.
Changhai Lake can be regarded as the mother of all the lakes in Jiuzhaigou. Since Changhai Lake has no outlet, it can only rely on evaporation and underground rivers to discharge water, and these underground rivers are an important source of water for other lakes.

Self-driving is not allowed in Jiuzhaigou. Passengers need to take the scenic bus at the entrance of the ditch. The route of the scenic area is like a Y shape. The upper left line of the Y shape leads directly to Changhai Scenic Area. It takes about half an hour to go up from Nuorilang Station. There are fewer attractions on this line, only Changhai and Wucai Pool. Changhai is the highest, longest and deepest lake in Jiuzhaigou, with an altitude of about 3,100 meters. The lake extends to the mountains and forests in the distance and there is no end in sight. The blue lake water suddenly feels like being in the Maldives, but this is a high mountain lake with cold water. You can only see it but not visit it. Changhai is too big, and only a small section of the plank road has been built. It is unlikely to hike around the sea here.
Changhai Lake is the largest lake in Jiuzhaigou. It bends along the mountain and hides deep in the valley. The mountains at the end of Changhai Lake are covered with snow all year round, with an altitude of more than 4,000-5,000 meters.
There was once a poem praising the Changhai: The sun is reflected on the snow-capped mountains, and the dark clouds are across the sky; the ancient trees reach the sky, and the green waves are blooming.
This "S"-shaped glacial barrier lake is the highest and widest lake in Jiuzhaigou. The mountains next to it are covered with snow all year round, and the surrounding forests are deep green and emerald.
Standing on the Changhai Observation Deck and gazing into the distance, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, the snow-capped peaks, and the deep blue water. The mountains in the distance extend deeper and farther, until they finally merge with the sky at the end, with no distance between them.
Changhai Lake is at the top of Chawa Valley, and is also the highest point in the scenic area. The altitude here is nearly 1,000 meters higher than the mouth of the valley. Changhai Lake is also the largest lake in the entire Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area.
Changhai Lake is about five kilometers long, more than six hundred meters wide, and covers an area of 930,000 square meters. It is the highest and largest lake in Jiuzhaigou. What we saw on the plank road is just the tip of the iceberg. The peaks next to Changhai Lake are covered with snow all year round, and the surrounding forests are emerald green. If the blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and red forests are reflected on the lake, it is really beautiful. We took a lot of photos in Changhai Lake, and my classmates also took a lot of photos in Tibetan costumes, but unfortunately they are all gone, only this one is left.
The Changhai Lake bends along the mountain, and its head is hidden deep in the valleys of mountains. Opposite the lake, there are snow-capped peaks and lush trees on the shore. At a glance, the water is like a mirror, and the towering snow-capped peaks are bathed in the blue sky and white clouds, which is spectacular and beautiful. The continuous peaks at the end of the Changhai Lake are covered with snow all year round, and the altitude is above 4,000-5,000 meters.
To go to Wucai Pool, you basically get off at Changhai, which is the highest place in Jiuzhaigou and the temperature is obviously lower.
Changhai Lake is hidden deep in the valley among the mountains. It is the highest lake in Jiuzhaigou and also the largest lake in Jiuzhaigou. Changhai Lake is 3060 meters above sea level.
The largest and highest sea is very beautiful, with snow-capped mountains in the distance
It was once a sacred place for TV dramas. There is a sign in the middle of the road with a brief introduction of Changhai. The rest is still as beautiful as before.
A place worth visiting, a masterpiece of nature
Changhai Lake can be regarded as the mother of all the lakes in Jiuzhaigou. Since Changhai Lake has no outlet, it can only rely on evaporation and underground rivers to discharge water, and these underground rivers are an important source of water for other lakes.
The top of a ditch has the highest altitude, there are many sources of lakes, a large plateau lake, and good reflections can be photographed in good weather.
Geological movement made her, and geological movement destroyed her
It is the highest place in Jiuzhaigou, but it is only about 3,100 meters above sea level. Fortunately, you will still be a little out of breath if you run, so walk slowly and enjoy the beautiful scenery~
The jade-like lake ripples stretch into the distance, and the nearby jungle and the distant snow-capped mountains and lake form a perfect picture.
Changhai is the largest and highest lake in Jiuzhaigou, but its scenery is only average in the valley. Because it is the terminus of the scenic area bus, it often becomes the first stop for every tourist getting off the bus.
Changhai Lake is dark blue, surrounded by green mountains. It is the highest, widest and deepest lake in Jiuzhaigou.

Jiuzhaigou is definitely one of the must-see attractions. If you have enough time in Sichuan, it is recommended to visit Jiuzhaigou. Jiuzhaigou is not very beautiful during the dry season, but it is very beautiful during the flood season, but there are many people. However, the number of tourists in Jiuzhaigou is limited every day, and real-name registration is required. Friends who want to come should prepare in advance.
Because of the high altitude...some people can't stand it and don't come up. The altitude of 3120 meters is the highest point in the scenic area. The water source of Changhai comes from the melting snow of the nearby high mountains with snow all year round. Because of the high altitude, Changhai will also freeze and snow in winter, and it is covered with silver, which is a unique scenery. The valleys with mountains and peaks are lush with trees, which is very spectacular.
The frozen Changhai. In the south, you can see a world of ice and snow covered with thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow.
Changhai Lake is the largest lake in Jiuzhaigou.
From Changhai along the long wooden plank road,
Then you can reach the Five Color Pool.
Changhai Lake is 3060 meters above sea level, the highest point in Jiuzhaigou that can be reached so far. It is also the largest lake in Jiuzhaigou. Changhai Lake is still in the freezing period in March. The mountains have become a wonderland of ice and snow. 20 minutes ago, there were green trees and red flowers at the foot of the mountain, but 20 minutes later, the mountain was instantly covered with ice and snow. It made me double-click 666.
As it was snowing heavily, the entire mountain forest was shrouded in clouds and mist, giving a gentle and tranquil feeling.
Thousands of mountains are covered with snow... Jiuzhaigou is still beautiful!
In winter, it is recommended to visit Changhai Lake in the afternoon after visiting Wuhuachi Lake on the right. Changhai Lake is the largest lake in Jiuzhaigou, with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters and a dark green water surface. The peaks next to Changhai Lake are covered with snow all year round, and the surrounding forests are emerald green, which makes the whole visual experience very good.
At the very top, there is a lake of a regular shape. You can just look at it from a distance on the observation deck and take a photo.
Changhai gives me a very quiet feeling, with no end
I went to Jiuzhaigou last winter. Changhai Lake is at the highest point of the tourist area in that season. The lake was already covered with a layer of white snow.
Changhai Lake is the highest lake in Jiuzhaigou Valley and the farthest lake from the valley entrance. The mountains on both sides are majestic and undulating, which is very spectacular. Even in summer and autumn, the distant peaks are covered with snow.
Because it had just snowed the day before, the scenery of Changhai was beautiful.
I went there in winter, and the whole Changhai Lake was frozen, white as ice.
Changhai is peaceful and deep, with calm lake and lush trees on both sides.
The largest and deepest lake in Jiuzhaigou is surrounded by mountains and is very beautiful.
It's beautiful. The scenery in Jiuzhaigou is really beautiful. I went there in May and it was still quite cold there.
The birthplace of Jiuzhaigou's beautiful scenery. All the lakes downstream flow down from here. It is extremely beautiful.
Changhai is the largest sea in Jiuzhaigou. The scenery is most beautiful in winter because there are snow-capped mountains and the trees are covered with snow. Everything covered with snow must be very beautiful. However, it was early winter when we went there, but it was also beautiful, with a little snow on the top of the mountain.
It is a very big lake, blue, quiet, beautiful and poetic.
The most satisfying photo of this trip was taken at Changhai Lake, not because the photo was good, but because Changhai Lake was so beautiful, like a fairyland.
Even the cloudy sky cannot conceal the charming colors of the lake. It is said that fish will not live in clear water, but here you can clearly see fish swimming in the water. Perhaps fish also like such clear water.
Jiuzhaigou's scenery needs no comment, it's worth visiting! The scenery is even better in autumn!
This is the most beautiful spot in the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area in my opinion. The altitude is very high, the lake is very quiet, and there is a feeling of being unable to see through it. It is very charming.
Changhai Lake is different from other lakes in its graceful beauty. It has a deep feeling that makes people fascinated by this mystery. It has the highest altitude and the elderly may not be able to adapt to it.
It is the largest lake in Jiuzhaigou. The scenery is pretty good!
When I went there in winter, the entire Changhai Lake was frozen into ice, and it felt like I was in a world of ice and snow. It was very magnificent and beautiful.
Changhai Lake is the largest and highest lake in Jiuzhaigou. It is exquisite and beautiful. It is our first stop in Jiuzhaigou! It is a place to cleanse your soul. It is at a high altitude, so please keep warm.
The plank road in Changhai Scenic Area was crowded with people. For a long time, tourists were taking pictures of the one-armed old man pine. Changhai is about five kilometers long, more than six hundred meters wide, and covers an area of 930,000 square meters. It is the highest and largest lake in Jiuzhaigou. What we saw on the plank road was just the tip of the iceberg. The peaks next to Changhai are covered with snow all year round, and the surrounding forests are emerald green. If the blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and red forests are reflected on the lake, it is really beautiful. Unfortunately, the weather is bad and we can't see the snow-capped mountains.
Changhai is the first stop of another route. It is still very beautiful, with very blue water. It seems to be the highest place in Jiuzhaigou.
Changhai has the highest altitude. You can overlook the snow-capped mountains in the distance, which makes people feel very comfortable.
The snow on the distant mountains has not melted yet. We are wearing summer clothes and standing at an altitude of 3,000 meters. It is really a bit cold. It is recommended that friends who come to Jiuzhaigou to play should bring a set of autumn clothes even in summer, otherwise... It is really beautiful and freezing
Overlooking the vast and magnificent Changhai, the mountains, water and sky blend seamlessly into one, as beautiful as a painting.
Changhai is the farthest scenic spot on the route of Zezhawagou. When we went there, there were not many people, and there was a sense of tranquility. If you have time, you can sit here for a while.
The lake at the top of Zechawagou in Jiuzhaigou is 3,101 meters above sea level. It is also the largest lake in Jiuzhaigou and the source of water for other lakes in Jiuzhaigou. It is called the "mother" of other lakes. The deep blue lake is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, which is very peaceful and sacred. You can see up to three or four snow-capped mountains. You must go down from the station to the plank road by the lake to have a look. Don't just look at it from the upper plank road. Otherwise, you won't see the famous "one-armed old man" cypress by the lake, also known as "flag cypress". It is a hundreds-year-old ancient tree, standing quietly by the lake like the guardian of Changhai Lake. Next to it is the introduction sign of Changhai Lake. And the surface of Changhai Lake is also green when you look at it from a close distance. It is sparkling and very beautiful.
I went to Jiuzhaigou two years ago. Changhai Lake is the largest of all the lakes in Jiuzhaigou and also the highest in altitude. There are two lines for sightseeing buses in the scenic area, and one of the last stops is Changhai Lake, so be sure not to take the wrong one. When I went there, Changhai Lake was completely frozen, so I could only see the ice surface, and there were snow-capped mountains all around, which was a very spectacular scene.
The scenery was not very beautiful when I went there. But I just want to say that I had a little bit of altitude sickness. Really. A little dizzy! Everyone must pay attention!! Here you can get closer to the snow mountain. A good photo spot. There is also a tree that is very strange. It only looks like it has growth on one side. The other side is bare! Very interesting~
The altitude here is a bit high, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable. It is much quieter than the places below, which makes people feel very comfortable. Snow-capped mountains, pregnancy preparations, blue sea, beautiful beyond words
The water is so blue that it is beyond imagination. Walking down the steps, you can see the famous "flag tree". It is said that there are monsters in Changhai, so there is an inexplicable sense of mystery after arriving at Changhai.
It snowed when we arrived yesterday. Today we went to Jiuzhaigou Changhai. The snow scenery is so beautiful.
The frozen Changhai Lake has a special flavor. For southerners, such a snowy scene is very beautiful. However, the altitude is high, so be careful to prevent altitude sickness, try to slow down, and take a bus down if you feel uncomfortable.
It was morning when we arrived at Changhai Lake, the highest lake in Jiuzhaigou. The bone-chilling cold hit us. Fortunately, we wore a thick coat. The sea was calm, with snow-capped mountains in the distance and flag pines swaying nearby. In this warm and cold season, we could see a thin layer of ice on the sea.
It feels like the farthest scenic spot for viewing water in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. There was no wind when I came here, and it felt more like Mirror Sea than Mirror Sea.
"Changhai" is the highest and largest lake in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. Changhai is 3,060 meters above sea level, about five kilometers long, more than six hundred meters wide, and covers an area of 930,000 square meters. The peaks next to Changhai are covered with snow all year round, surrounded by forests and emeralds. Standing on the Changhai viewing platform, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, and the snow-capped peaks. It feels like the mountains and the sky are connected to each other, without any distance. This is also a major landscape of Changhai. Poetry: The sun is reflected on the snow-capped mountains, and the clouds are across the sky. The ancient trees are connected to the sky and the blue waves are open.
The scenery of Changhai exceeded my expectations and is the most beautiful scenery in Jiuzhaigou. Perhaps because the snow has not melted yet, it has formed a unique scenery that is incomparable to the scenery in summer.
I went there in March this year. The frozen Changhai Lake has a unique flavor, and Jiuzhaigou has another kind of beauty in this climate! It is my favorite scenic spot, with the highest altitude and very quiet. The tranquil beauty is far more beautiful than the photos. You have to come here in person to experience it.
The mountain lakes are dark blue.
The mountains intersect to block the way,
There is no end as far as the eye can see.
It's like a dragon swimming between heaven and earth.
It feels like the photos of the Changhai tree and the Changhai monument are different in each period. Changhai gave me my first experience of what a plateau is. Looking at the stairs of such a small height, it is a piece of cake at home, but climbing them in Changhai feels a little different: you will feel tired very quickly! Changhai is a very large lake. Unless you take a boat, tourists like us who stand by the lake can only see a small part of it.
Changhai Lake is the highest lake in Jiuzhaigou. It was frozen in winter but still very beautiful.
I transferred to the local bus from Nuorilang Center to Changhai. There were a lot of people at noon.
Get off at the terminus of Changhai, follow the crowd to visit Changhai and Wucai Pool, then take the bus near Shangjihai and return to Nuorilang Central Station.
Changhai is 3,060 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains and forests on both sides. Standing on the Changhai Observation Deck, you can see the blue sky, white clouds, lakes and mountains.
Changhai Lake is 3101 meters above sea level, 4350 meters long, 200-300 meters wide, 80 meters deep, and has a storage capacity of 450 million cubic meters. It is the highest, widest, and deepest lake in Jiuzhaigou. Changhai Lake can also be regarded as the mother of all the lakes in Jiuzhaigou. Because Changhai Lake has no outlet, it can only rely on evaporation and underground rivers to discharge water, and these underground rivers are the important supply of water sources for other lakes. The water source of Changhai Lake comes from the melting snow of the mountains. Strangely, Changhai Lake never dries up or overflows the embankment, so Tibetans call it a treasure gourd that "cannot be filled or leaked". When we came, Changhai Lake was half frozen, and the sky was a little gloomy. The whole color tone was full of a kind of desolate beauty, weird and mysterious. The big crows croaked and flew over the tree, which seemed to be in the Gothic style. There is a juniper next to Changhai Lake, with a strange shape, one side with branches and leaves growing horizontally, and the other side is bald as a knife. It is called the one-armed old man cypress.
Changhai is frozen in winter, so it is better to go there in the sunshine at noon. On the one hand, the altitude is high and it is slightly warmer at noon. On the other hand, the snow-capped mountains are still spectacular.
The Changhai Sea is extremely blue, beautiful blue, and looks like a fairyland. It is a very quiet beauty.
It's just a relatively large lake. If you are short on time, you can consider giving up.
The water in all the pools of Jiuzhaigou, the Mother Lake, is replenished by Changhai Lake.
Changhai, 3060 meters above sea level, is about five kilometers long, more than six hundred meters wide, and covers an area of 930,000 square meters.

The highest and largest lake, with snow-capped mountains in the distance, a very layered place. Jiuzhaigou can also be very grand
