Wuhua Lake is colorful due to the travertine deposits on the seabed, algae of various colors, and the reflections of colorful trees on the shore.
October is the most beautiful time for Wuhua Lake. The water is crystal clear and the seven-color leaves on the shore are intertwined with their reflections in the water.
The plank road on the west side of Wuhua Lake is one of the best viewing spots. The end of the plank road is the outlet of Wuhua Lake, which is the area with the most colorful leaves.
Walk north along the Peacock River for about 100 meters to the mountain road, and then walk southeast to Tiger Rock, which is the best place to take panoramic photos of Wuhua Lake.

As the most beautiful lake in Jiuzhaigou, Wuhua Lake is definitely not in vain. It is recommended to visit for 2-3 hours. Standing at the tiger's mouth and overlooking Wuhua Lake, the color changes are obvious, the blue is deep and shallow, all in that lake, like a galaxy, with a blue ribbon floating in the middle, and the colors on both sides reflecting a touch of blue in the middle. Although it is far from the platform and the plank road, it is a bit tiring to hike, but it is worth it. It is visually very good, and many people ignore this place. When you walk into Wuhua Lake, you will be shocked by the clear tree lines in the water, more like they voluntarily sleep in the water, and the trees by the lake are vying to be submerged by the lake, willing to let the water plants densely grow on themselves, which also becomes a landscape.
Wuhua Lake, the pride of Jiuzhaigou, is a must-see among all the scenic spots in Jiuzhaigou, and it is also the one that takes the longest time. When you arrive at Wuhua Lake, it is recommended to walk around the circular plank road inside. The surrounding colorful forests are full of colors, just like an oil painting.
Wuhua Lake is the most colorful lake in Jiuzhaigou. The different reflections and refractions of light by the calcification, algae, water plants and dead trees at the bottom of the lake, together with the projections of the blue sky, white clouds, green grass and green forests in the lake, form a lake with a mixture of light yellow, emerald green, dark green, sky blue, dark blue and navy blue, which looks like a giant ornament inlaid with countless gems. Looking down at the whole picture, it looks like a peacock spreading its tail.
It is about 1.5 kilometers from Panda Lake to Wuhua Lake. You can hike if time permits. The Wuhua Lake plank road goes around the lake. The water is clear and the vegetation below is clearly visible. There are gravels, dead wood, green algae and small fish, which make Wuhua Lake colorful. There is also a plank road that can extend into the forest. Groups of squirrels are running around. If you take out biscuits, they will even come close to ask for food.
Known as "the unique beauty of Jiuzhaigou" and "the essence of Jiuzhaigou", it is the pride of Jiuzhaigou. In the same water area, Wuhua Lake can present light yellow, dark green, dark blue, navy blue and other colors, which are mottled and blurred, colorful, and is one of the most exciting attractions in Jiuzhaigou.
The surface area of Wuhua Lake is very large, with deep blue, light blue, azure blue, lake blue, dark green, emerald green, turquoise and peacock green interwoven together, with distinct layers and bright colors, worthy of the name Wuhua Lake.
I think Wuhua Lake is the most beautiful scenic spot in Jiuzhaigou. It is the epitome of the essence of Jiuzhaigou.
I visited Jiuzhaigou in late October, when the autumn is the most beautiful.
You can see Wuhua Lake by passing through an underground passage from where the bus gets off at Wuhua Lake. The area on the right side of the plank road is smaller at this time, but the leaves are more colorful, and there are many fallen trees underwater, which are covered with travertine. The lake on the left side of the plank road is larger and the scenery is more beautiful. Walking along the plank road to the lake on the left, you can see a larger area with a lot of algae and trees in the water. The colors of the woods in the distance are overlapping yellow and green, and you can see snow peaks in the distance. It's so beautiful!
My travel notes: Following the most beautiful autumn colors - Travel notes of Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong/Bipenggou in Sichuan http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/21345961.html
The most quintessential place in Jiuzhaigou is Wuhua Lake, which is known as "the best in Jiuzhaigou". Passing through the forest plank road and going downhill, you will reach Wuhua Lake in an instant. Looking down at Wuhua Lake, it is like a treasure inlaid with colorful gem fragments, dazzling. Looking closely at Wuhua Lake, coral-like ferns and algae grow everywhere underwater, and there are dead trees stranded, fish jumping in them, and the coexistence of dead and aliveness forms a unique and colorful landscape painting.
The clear lake reflects the mountains like ink paintings, and the dense forests on both sides of the plank road are quietly soaked in the colors of autumn. With both the gorgeous underwater world and the colorful water world, the romantic Wuhua Lake is the most beautiful place in the fairy tale Jiuzhaigou.
Wuhua Lake is located in the middle of Rize Valley in Jiuzhaigou, and the water surface is colorful. The western plank road surrounding the lake is one of the best viewing spots. Its end point is the junction of the outlet of Wuhua Lake and the Peacock River. In late autumn, this is the area with the most colorful leaves. However, we were unable to find the best shooting position on the Internet, Tiger Rock, due to our hasty schedule.
Walking along the plank road from Wuhua Lake in Rizegou to Pearl Beach, you can see a huge stone near the waterfall. This is the 88 stone left after the earthquake. On August 8, 2017, this huge stone rolled down from the high altitude mountain to the river valley, destroying all the trees along the way and leaving deep grooves in the mountain.
Jiuzhaigou Wuhua Lake is known as "the unique place in Jiuzhaigou" and "the essence of Jiuzhaigou", and is the pride of Jiuzhaigou. In the same water area, Wuhua Lake can present light yellow, dark green, dark blue, navy blue and other colors, which are mottled and blurred, colorful, and is one of the most exciting attractions in Jiuzhaigou.
The pride of Jiuzhaigou. It was a pity that the sun hadn't come out yet, but the colors were still beautiful.
The surrounding hillsides are shrouded in gorgeous autumn colors after autumn, with rich colors and various shapes, dominating Jiuzhaigou.
Different angles, different colors, colorful, beautiful beyond words. It can be said to be the most beautiful lake in Jiuzhaigou.
Different angles, different colors, colorful, colorful, beautiful beyond words. It can be said to be the most beautiful lake in Jiuzhaigou
The shadow of autumn is swaying in the sky, and a grand dance has begun.
Don't think that beauty alone can last forever.
There are many calcified tree branches and trunks deposited underwater in Wuhuahai, which can remain immortal for thousands of years and are very artistic to look at.
A passing attraction in Jiuzhaigou, with beautiful scenery
The colorful scenery is due to the travertine deposits on the seabed, the various colors of algae and the reflections of the colorful trees on the shore.
A place worth visiting, a masterpiece of nature
The most beautiful place in Jiuzhaigou, with different colors in four seasons, and autumn is the most beautiful
The most beautiful lake in Jiuzhaigou, you must go there, but pay attention to the time, otherwise you can't see Jiuzhaigou in one day
In the same waters, Wuhua Lake can present colors such as goose yellow, dark green, dark blue, and navy blue. It is mottled and colorful. It is one of the most exciting attractions in Jiuzhaigou, attracting countless tourists and photography enthusiasts.
The calm lake, a very good travel experience!
The unique feature of Jiuzhaigou is also the essence of Jiuzhaigou's scenery. The bottom of Wuhua Lake is lake green on one side and emerald green on the other. The dead branches that fell into the lake bottom look like clusters of beautiful corals because of calcification. There are dense forests by the lake. If it is in the season when the forests are dyed, it must be more moving. The sun sometimes shines, and sometimes is blocked by clouds and mist. The lake surface has always been as quiet as a mirror. The forests that have already revealed a little autumn color are reflected in the lake. The colors of the lake bottom blend with the reflected colors. Everything is rich, but not redundant. I love the colors here. Its preciousness comes from unpredictability and cannot be retained. Autumn is always short, and the most brilliant autumn colors are even more rare. Those gradual changes and blends are like a silent music played between heaven and earth.
Wuhua Lake is the essence of Jiuzhaigou. It is simply a world of colors in autumn. Unfortunately, the photos of the autumn trip to Jiuzhaigou can no longer be found.
The beauty of nature, Jiuzhaigou is the best, come and visit!
Wuhua Lake ~ One of the highlights. To be honest, maybe my expectations were too high. It’s not as beautiful as I thought ~ But of course it’s also good ~
Wuhua Lake is one of my favorite attractions in Jiuzhaigou. It made me really realize what it means to return from Jiuzhaigou without looking at water. Wuhua Lake is the most exciting attraction among all the attractions in Jiuzhaigou, known as the "essence of Jiuzhaigou". There is a trestle bridge here, which is a great place to enjoy the water and mountains. Unfortunately, there are more and more tourists, so we didn't stay on the bridge. I prefer the water surface on the side of the trestle bridge. Looking down from the plank road, the water color is colorful and blurred, with sapphire blue, dark green, and emerald yellow blocks mixed together, colorful and shining. The reason for the formation of these strange colors is that the pool water containing calcium carbonate and the aquatic plants containing different chlorophylls, together under the action of sunlight, change into such colorful colors, such as the blue of the sky, the dark green of gems, and the emerald yellow of bird feathers. This may also be the origin of "Wuhua".
I went there alone. After a year, I can't remember where I was.
I went there last year during the off-season so there weren't many people. The trees nearby were not green yet and a little bare, but the water in Jiuzhaigou was so beautiful. I was amazed when I got in the sightseeing bus. I took photos as soon as I got off the bus and couldn't walk. But the photos I took were not as beautiful as what I saw with my naked eyes. In my heart, Jiuzhaigou is a must-see attraction in my lifetime.
The plank road on the west side of the flower sea is one of the best viewing spots. The end of the plank road is the junction of the outlet of Wuhua Lake and the Peacock River, where the most colorful leaves are concentrated. Go north along the Peacock River for about 100 meters to the mountain road. Go southeast along the road and you will see a big stone. This is the Tiger Stone, which is the best place to take a panoramic view of Wuhua Lake.
It should be more beautiful in autumn. I feel that it is not so beautiful in May and there is not so much water.
Wuhua Lake is a sea that amazes everyone because it is so beautiful! We stayed at this scenic spot for the longest time. From any angle, it is a picture that makes people reluctant to move.
There are wooden plank roads and wooden bridges around Wuhua Lake. Wuhua Lake is very beautiful. The water is green in the sun and blue in the shade.
It is a barrier lake formed by landslide. The lake water is colorful and the whole view is like a peacock spreading its tail. There is a place called Tiger Mouth next to Wuhua Lake. You need to climb up a mountain road. Standing at that height, you can overlook the whole view of Wuhua Lake. But that road is now closed to traffic and there is no fork in the road. It is better not to climb between the mountains casually. It is already very beautiful to appreciate it from a close distance~~
Various lights and shadows, various refractions, form the dazzling and colorful Wuhua Lake.
Jiuzhaigou is very beautiful in winter. I want to go there in autumn next time.
I don’t know what Jiuzhaigou is like now. This was Jiuzhaigou in May last year. Four months later, an earthquake took away everything.
It took us more than two hours to walk from Jianzhu Lake to Wuhua Lake. We also passed Panda Lake on the way. Wuhua Lake and Wucai Pool are similar in nature. The same lake is full of rich colors, which is one of the essences of Jiuzhaigou. There are many tree trunks in the lake, lying in the clear water, which is not messy but has a unique flavor.
Very beautiful, but there are too many people, but they are scattered in the scenic area and it is not noticeable
This is the Jiuzhaigou of the past, which shocked me in the late autumn of 2009! Encountering the most beautiful paradise on earth in the most beautiful season! I wonder to what extent the golden autumn can be restored. If it is gone, it will be a pity!

One of the scenic spots in Jiuzhaigou. We went there a little late. It would be more beautiful a few days earlier.
The scenery of Jiuzhaigou cannot be described in words, and every spot is worth visiting.

It's been a while, and I forgot which lake the photo was taken of, but Jiuzhaigou is truly a gift from nature, especially if you go there in late autumn, which is the most beautiful season.
Wuhua Lake is probably the most beautiful lake in Jiuzhaigou. In autumn, it is really colorful and full of scenery. The emerald green lake water against the colorful mountain trees is like a paradise.
The scenery is really beautiful. Jiuzhaigou is all about seeing the water.
The colors of Wuhua Lake in winter are not as bright as in other seasons, but they are also very beautiful.
How can the color of water be like this? So blue and cool, so transparent!
The essence of Jiuzhaigou. It was very beautiful when I went there in summer. The yellow/green/blue colors were reflected in the river. I believe that in autumn, it must be a colorful fairy tale world.
Missing the clear blue lake, I feel like I can love it for thousands of years
Wuhua Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Jiuzhaigou. It is really beautiful no matter where you take photos!
After walking around Jiuzhaigou for half a day, I was a little visually exhausted. But when I walked to Wuhua Lake, my eyes really brightened. I personally think that Jiuzhaigou is most beautiful in late October. It will be cold in the morning and evening, but it will be extremely hot at noon.
Wuhua Lake is absolutely beautiful and makes people linger
Not bad, but I went there late and was quite rushed
Wuhua Lake is located in the middle of Rize Valley in Sanjiao Valley, in the upper reaches of Kongque River. Due to the travertine deposits on the seabed, various colorful algae and the reflection of colorful trees on the shore, Wuhua Lake presents various colors such as goose yellow, navy blue, dark green and royal blue.
The water is crystal clear and the dream paradise is worth a visit
After waiting in line for a long time at the gate, I finally got in. The sky in Jiuzhaigou was beautiful early in the morning.
Although the scenery is beautiful, it is crowded with people. If you don’t have good physical strength, don’t come!
Wuhua Lake is so clean that people cannot bear to disturb its tranquility. Walking in it is like walking in a painting.
There is no point in saying more. If you have not 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 you have missed out.
There are no colorful forests in Wuhua Lake in summer, but the beautiful scenery is amazing enough. The sunken wood in it seems to have a second life in the colorful water.
In May, Wuhua Lake is the most worthwhile place to visit in Jiuzhaigou. It is so beautiful, nothing else can compare!
Wuhua Lake is the most beautiful lake in Jiuzhaigou in my opinion! You must go there! In addition to the colorful colors of the lake, the clear water, and some dead trees at the bottom of the pool, the mountains on both sides are also very beautiful!
A section of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area in Sichuan, the ditch water is colorful, like a fairy tale world. There are many trees around, and the shadows of the trees are reflected, which is very beautiful! It is amazing under the sunlight! It is worth taking pictures!
There are also the delicacies in Jiuzhaigou that you can't miss. The famous restaurant Jiulixiang is even more not to be missed. The cold pot fish tastes super good and can't be missed.
Wuhua Lake is one of the ten most beautiful lakes in the world! There are 5 different colors of water. It is located in Rize Valley in Jiuzhaigou. Rize Valley is also the most beautiful valley among the three valleys in Jiuzhaigou. In fact, the scenery in the whole Jiuzhaigou is very beautiful, especially the water, which is clear and blue. I kept praising and taking pictures during the whole play process. This is really a place where you can take beautiful photos at any time! It gives me a feeling that this scene should only be in heaven. I feel that I am in a fairyland instead of the mortal world. It is not a lie to not see the water after returning from Jiuzhaigou~
Wuhua Lake is the most exciting of all the scenic spots in Jiuzhaigou, so it is best to spend 2-3 hours here. The surrounding mountains are covered with trees, and in late autumn, the colorful leaves interweave into a beautiful oil painting. The pool water containing calcium carbonate transforms into a variety of colors, including dark blue, peacock blue, sapphire blue, dark green, and emerald yellow, which is magnificent.
It is recommended to go southeast along the ring road to Tiger Rock to overlook the whole view of Wuhua Lake.
The super beautiful Wuhua Lake is a stroke of genius from nature
There were a lot of people on the stage, but this was my first glimpse of Wuhua Lake. Everyone who comes to Jiuzhaigou regards it as a classic among classics. It was indeed shocking. I was already shocked when I saw it through the gaps between the trees.
Very beautiful, the most beautiful lake. I went there to see it in the morning. Nature is so beautiful.
Wuhua Lake is the most beautiful and mysterious spot in my opinion. Faced with such beautiful scenery, I really regret not bringing a camera in order to travel light. In the same waters, Wuhua Lake can present colors such as goose yellow, dark green, dark blue, and navy blue, which are mottled and blurred, and colorful. Due to the travertine deposits on the seabed and various colorful algae, as well as the distribution differences of submerged plants, a colorful picture is formed, and the colors are incredibly rich. It seems that there are few traces of fish in the lakes of Jiuzhaigou. There are more naked carps concentrated in Wuhua Lake and Panda Lake. This is a cold-water fish. Because it lives in very low water temperature for a long time, the meat is delicate and especially delicious. Because the size is too small, I saw it with my eyes, but I didn't find one when I went home to look at the pictures.
Beautiful water, beautiful scenery everywhere, great all year round
The Wuhua Lake in Jiuzhaigou is a very beautiful scenic spot. Its beauty lies in the fact that in the same water area, the Wuhua Lake can present light yellow, dark green, dark blue, navy blue and other colors, giving people a mottled and colorful feeling. It is a very famous scenic spot in Jiuzhaigou. Wuhua Lake is also known as Peacock Lake because its color and outline resemble a peacock with its tail half opened. The blue-green lake water is so clear that it is intoxicating. The blue and green blend together, making the lake water present a magical color that is both real and illusory, like a dream.
Jiuzhaigou has many delicious foods, I like them very much
The cold water fish and sizzling beef made by Guri Xiang are really delicious.
Wuhua Lake is located in the middle of Rize Valley in the three valleys of Jiuzhaigou, and in the upper reaches of Kongque River.

You can take the scenic area's environmentally friendly car to Wuhua Lake directly. Slowly move forward along the plank road by the lake. A section of the plank road on the west side of Wuhua Lake is one of the best viewing spots. The calm lake reflects the colorful trees and blue sky and white clouds, which is very beautiful. Continue to move forward and soon you will reach the end of the plank road, which is the junction of the outlet of Wuhua Lake and Kongque River. Go north along Kongque River for about 100 meters and you will reach the ring road around the mountain. Looking down at Wuhua Lake on the road is a unique experience. Walk southeast along the ring road for a while, you will see a huge stone. This is the Tiger's Mouth, and the stone is called "Tiger Stone". Standing on the Tiger Stone, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Wuhua Lake. It is the best place to take panoramic photos.
Jiuzhaigou's delicacies are also highly recommended. The beef, cold-water fish, and grilled fish here are all very good.
Recommend a very famous restaurant: Jiulixiang
It is a decades-old brand. The store is very good and very popular. It is highly recommended.
