At the bottom of Longhai Lake in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, a milky yellow calcium carbonate deposit lies, resembling a giant dragon lying submerged. Legend has it that in ancient times, the Black Dragon of the nearby Heishui River required 99 days of annual offerings from the people of Jiuzhaigou before it would bring rain. The White Dragon of the Bailong River, sympathetic to the people, attempted to deliver Bailong River water to Jiuzhaigou, but was blocked by the Black Dragon. The resulting struggle left the White Dragon exhausted and sank into the lake. The God of Ten Thousand Mountains arrived to subdue the Black Dragon. However, the White Dragon, unable to return to the Bailong River, transformed into a yellow dragon, which now rests at the bottom of the lake. In memory of the White Dragon, the people call this lake "Wolong Lake."

It feels similar to Panda Lake. In fact, the lake is also very peaceful, with a bright blue-green color and the water is very clear.
A very famous lake in Jiuzhaigou. It is neither big nor small. Five shades of blue are reflected in the lake, which is very beautiful.
Jiuzhaigou has a unique charm in winter, but many of the plank roads are closed.
The scenery is beautiful, it is still beautiful, but the distance is too close, so it is not easy to take portraits
The scenic spots in Jiuzhaigou are all passing by, and you are not allowed to stop and take pictures. It is best to go there in autumn.
One of my favorite photos, great lighting.
Located at the intersection of Rizegou and Shuzhenggou, close to the Nuorilang Service Station, it is a beautiful lake that combines clear water, colorful forests and a canopy. Autumn is the most beautiful season here.

A scenic spot in Jiuzhaigou, not leaving a deep impression
Wolong Lake is a scenic spot in Shuzheng Valley within the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. From Shuzheng Village, you can walk all the way to Shuzheng Group Lake, and then to Wolong Lake, Sparkling Lake and Shuanglong Lake. It is really hard to tell these lakes apart, they all look very similar and are very beautiful.
The water in Jiuzhaigou is truly beautiful, either azure blue or crystal clear, incredibly clean. In my next life, I want to be a fish or a tree in Jiuzhaigou...
We went there in July and it was beautiful, a must-see. Beautiful photos.
There is no point in saying more. If you have never been to Jiuzhaigou, you must arrange to go there once in your life. The lakes here are all must-sees, without a doubt. If you don’t see them enough, you will feel like you are missing out.
It's not as pretty as the pictures online, maybe I went there in the wrong season
It's breathtakingly beautiful, the water is so beautiful, you can see the bottom...
Unified reply, the scenery is picturesque, and every shot is a blockbuster
The characteristic is that there is a particularly obvious calcified dam in the middle of the lake, which is the Wolong
The water is very blue, and there is a dragon-shaped calcification group in it.
The name of the lake is Wolonghai because of the milky yellow calcium carbonate sediment under the water, which looks like a dragon lying in the water.

Beautiful, in fact, this section is more suitable for walking, walking along the plank road and looking at the beautiful scenery, it is comfortable
After passing the Sparkling Lake, you will reach Wolong Lake. You can get off at Shuzheng Village and walk back, but be careful about your time arrangement, because there are more beautiful lakes above than Wolong Lake.
It is said that there is a calcified landform in the center of the lake that looks like a sleeping dragon, but I didn't see it.
It can only be described as very beautiful. It is especially worth going. It is also very beautiful in winter.
The lake was very blue, and was surrounded by a variety of flowers, plants, and trees. I didn't notice where the dragon was.
Wolong Lake is very small, deriving its name from a calcified zone at its bottom that resembles a sleeping dragon. From a high vantage point, it resembles a turquoise blue gem. Surrounding the lake are lush greenery in spring and summer, while in autumn, the reflections of crimson leaves and green trees in the lake and mountains create a breathtaking spectacle.
A milky white travertine embankment lies across the lake, like a giant dragon lying on the bottom of the water. However, this lake is quite small...

The water is clear and blue, and the mineral rocks underneath are like a yellow dragon.
Below Shuzheng Village, the reflection in the water is quite beautiful.
It's true that after returning from Jiuzhaigou, I didn't see the sea. The weather was great when I went there, which was very suitable for seeing the colorful scenery.
It is recommended to go in summer, it is very beautiful and suitable for taking pictures
It was pretty good. Then we walked out.
Wolong Lake is exquisitely small, and its rich blue color is captivating. The lake is calm and peaceful, like a smooth, crystal-clear sapphire.
There are several relatively large lakes in Shuzhenggou.
You may think it’s pretty good when you see it for the first time, but after you see the beautiful scenery of Rize Valley and then look at Wolong Lake, Tiger Lake and Rhino Lake, you will feel that the scenery is very ordinary.
Recommend to go, recommend to go, recommend to go, recommend to go,
In Shuzhenggou, we walked along the plank road from Rhino Lake to Spark Lake. There are many lakes, each one is different and each one is very beautiful. The scenery changes with every step. It is very beautiful and worth seeing.
The scenery is very beautiful. Locals call these lakes Haizi. There are many such lakes, and each one has its own unique beauty. I forgot which Haizi this photo is of.
It's so beautiful! Every vantage point offers breathtaking views. I spent two days in the ditch and still haven't seen it all. I'll definitely go back when I have time.
The price is very reasonable and it is a shopping paradise. Come and
The scenery is beautiful, it is really beautiful beyond words.
The lakes are so beautiful that I just kept taking pictures along the way.
I went there in 2011 when I was still in school. I was so poor that I didn’t even have a camera or a phone that could take pictures, but the scenery was really beautiful.
Every lake in Jiuzhaigou is very beautiful, with a new view at every step.
Wolong Lake is incredibly beautiful. Jiuzhaigou isn't very far by car, so hiking is highly recommended. But it's neither far nor near, so for those who don't enjoy walking or are in a hurry, taking a car is still faster!
It is a relatively small lake, not very noticeable among the many lakes, so it is easily overlooked.
It's a beautiful place, I will come again if I have the chance! 1
I didn't have time to take a closer look, so I just took a quick look. I hope I can come to Wolonghai again if I have the chance.
The water is so clear that you can see schools of fish swimming freely.
Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like

I went to Jiuzhaigou three years ago. I can’t remember the specific names of the attractions, but I still have an impression that every attraction in Jiuzhaigou is fascinating.
Wolong Lake is part of the scenery in Jiuzhaigou and is well worth a visit!
They say that after visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won’t want to see water. The most amazing thing about Jiuzhaigou is its water. When I reached Laohuhai, I believed it. When there is no wind, the water in Jiuzhaigou is as still as a mirror and full of colors.
