Colorful Pond
Colorful Pond : Hidden in the dense and towering forest, it is one of the lakes in Jiuzhaigou Valley whose colors change most. When the sun pierces through the forest and shines upon the lake, the breeze will bring about numerous rings of rippied glittering in various colors.
It is located at the end of Tsang Hai, which is in the mountains to the west of the valley. Among the crevice of moraine ridges, seep from Tsang Hai flows in loose deposits. As a result, CaCo3 in the water is broken down into Ca, Mg ions etc., which leads the increase of their ratio in the water (2.43 ml/l in Five Colors Pool, 1.68ml/l in Tsang Hai). Besides, colorful moss and algae in the water together with invert reflection of blue sky and green woods form the spectacle of Five Color Pool. It is 50 m lower than the earth surface and its color is like the peacock blue.
