Panda Sea

The Panda Lake is 2,587 meters above sea level, 570 meters long, and 160 meters wide. It is 14.21 meters deep. The Panda Lake is located in the narrowest section of the Rize Valley. It was formed by the blocking of water by the pile of fallen rocks and the accompanying calcification deposition. The Panda Lake freezes in winter, and the lake embankment and lake bottom leak seriously. The annual fluctuation of the lake water level reaches 5 meters, and it is mainly replenished by surface water. In the flood season, the upstream water is greater than the leakage, the lake is full, and the embankment is overturned to form the Panda Lake High Waterfall. In the dry season, the lake level drops, and a large area of ​​golden travertine sand beach is exposed on the lakeshore, forming an "oasis in the desert".

Take a bus from Tiane Lake Station to Jianzhu Lake Station and continue hiking. The Jianzhu Lake plank road is built along the lake. Jianzhu Lake is very large. The changes in sky light along the way affect the color of the lake. The lake turns green under the cloudy sky and turns blue under the sunlight. In the near distance, it is transparent light yellow, light green, and dark blue. It is so beautiful! After walking through Jianzhuhai, the next is Jianzhuhai Waterfall, which is a group of waterfalls. The sound of rushing water can be heard from afar. After turning a corner, the waterfall is in front of you. This group of waterfalls is relatively low, like a staggered wall of water. When you first see it, it is crowded with tourists because this is the get-off point. As you continue walking forward, there will be fewer and fewer tourists, so it returns to its former tranquility. As you walk, the waterfall disappears, but the stream under the plank road flows more rapidly, sometimes flowing to the right and sometimes to the left, making you feel cool all the way. After a while, Panda Lake is in front of you. The color of the lake is still as blue as before. Jiuzhaigou is full of beautiful scenery in good weather. What is different is that there are more cold-water fish in the lake, and they are playing in shallow water in groups. They are so free and no one can hurt them.

Panda Lake is not far downhill from Jianzhu Lake. It is said that the giant pandas in Jiuzhaigou like to come here to wander, drink water and forage for food, so this lake is called Panda Lake. The water of Panda Lake is clear and the reflection is clear, similar to Jianzhu Lake.

Panda Lake is 2,587 meters above sea level, 14 meters deep, and covers an area of ​​90,000 square meters. Pandas often roam here. The rock wall near the lake has a unique texture, which is reflected in the lake, and the black patterns and round white stones that naturally grow under the water near the lake are in contrast.

The water of Panda Lake is clear and the reflections are distinct. On a sunny day, the peaks stand quietly under the blue sky and white clouds, the shore is covered with forests, the waves and the shadows of the mountains create a mysterious scene. It is said that the giant pandas in Jiuzhaigou like to come here to wander, drink water and forage, hence the name.

The shore is lined with forests, and the peaks by the lake stand still, reflected in the water, creating a blurry scene.

It is said that the giant pandas in Jiuzhaigou like to come here to wander, drink water and forage for food, so this lake is called Panda Lake.

Walk to the end of the trestle on the north side of Panda Lake, and walk down a steep staircase. You can see a waterfall on the right side, which rushes down from the mouth of Panda Lake into the deep valley. It is cut into several sections by the protruding rock walls and boulders under the cliff. Several cascading waterfalls are formed in one go. This waterfall is the Panda Lake Waterfall. It is said that giant pandas often appear near Panda Lake. The rock wall texture near Panda Lake is peculiar, which contrasts with the black stripes and white stones that look like pandas underwater. Panda Lake Waterfall is closely connected to Panda Lake and is the waterfall with the largest drop in Jiuzhaigou.

The rock wall by the lake has a unique texture, which is reflected in the lake, and the round white stone with several circles of black patterns naturally growing under the water beside the lake, which looks like a panda, is a very interesting contrast.

A place worth visiting, a masterpiece of nature

Panda Lake is located in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, at an altitude of 2,587 meters, 14 meters deep, and 90,000 square meters. Pandas are often seen here. The rock wall near the lake has a unique texture, which is reflected in the lake, and the round white stone with several circles of black patterns naturally formed under the water near the lake, which looks like a panda, is very interesting.

The waters of Panda Sea are clear and the reflections are sharp, similar to Jianzhu Sea.

Legend has it that there were pandas in the past, and they disappeared after the bamboo bloomed and died.

Among the countless jade-like transparent lakes in Jiuzhaigou, I love this one the most. I have visited the park four times in two different seasons and it always feels the same. It is said that if you accidentally fall into a lake in Jiuzhaigou, swimming in this water that seems to be out of this world is the most desired wish of Jiuzhaigou tourists.

The main thing to see in Panda Lake is the mountains and trees reflected on the lake. Due to the breeze, the ripples on the lake made the reflections not very clear, and it was not as shocking as when I first saw Mirror Lake. After visiting here, I hurried to Wuhua Lake.

Why is it called Panda Lake? Not because it looks like a panda, but because pandas have indeed appeared in the jungle next to the lake.

There are too many people now, so the panda will definitely not come out to drink water or forage for food, but when there are fewer people, it may show up.

The most classic feature of Panda Lake is the ripples, which are super beautiful. The reason for the ripples is that there is a white stone in the lake with natural black lines on it.

The wavy shape also resembles a simple and honest giant panda.

It was frozen when I went there, so the scenery was different.

Arrow bamboo is the favorite food of pandas, so places with arrow bamboo are naturally where pandas like to appear. Since there are pandas here, it is named Panda Sea.

Pandas are often seen here, so it is named Panda Lake. The rock wall beside the lake has a unique texture, which is reflected in the lake, and the round white stone with several circles of black patterns naturally formed under the water beside the lake, which looks like a panda, is a very interesting contrast. It is one of the four major waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou and has the largest drop among the waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou.

Although there is this little regret,

But the surprise that Jiuzhaigou brought me in winter is still so clear.

As usual, go to the right side of the Y-shaped groove first.

In winter, the car can only reach Jianzhuhai at most.

The thin floating ice sheets did not affect the water surface at all, reflecting the mountains on the opposite side like a mirror.

Where the sun shines,

It was like being covered with a layer of warm yellow mist.



Panda Lake is almost completely covered with ice and snow.

It is said to be one of the only two frozen lakes in Jiuzhaigou.

The frozen scene is not unfamiliar.

But the lines on the ice that looked like they were randomly painted with a giant brush aroused everyone's interest.

Many people speculated how it ended up there.

The Panda Sea is located on the right side of the "Y"-shaped Jiuzhaigou Valley - in Rize Valley. It is said that pandas often appear in this area. The mountains and waters here are beautiful and the reflections are picturesque.

The scenery is really beautiful. Jiuzhaigou is all about seeing the water.

I don't know why it's called Panda Sea. This is mainly a place to take photos of ethnic costumes. I also came here for a group, haha

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.

Coming down from the primeval forest, we got off at Panda Lake. The blue lake was like a piece of blue silk spread among the mountains. It was so beautiful!

There are the legendary naked carp in Panda Sea, but there are not many of them. People with trypophobia may be scared when seeing them.

I feel that the scenery is not much different from Jianzhuhai, with clear water surface, distinct bottom, and the color of the water is also very special, with emerald green and azure blue complementing each other. Any shot will result in a beautiful reflection.

The bottom of Panda Sea is formed by karst landforms with many traces of different shades. When viewed vertically from above, they look like bright or dark spots on a panda's body.

It may be due to the season and weather. June is rainy, and the lake seen on cloudy days is not as blue as on sunny days, but the pure and tranquil feeling of the water makes people feel relaxed and happy at a glance.

The water of Panda Lake can still show its original scenery on cloudy days. There are many fry of cold-water fish in the lake.

After Nuorilang Waterfall is Panda Lake. This waterfall has a drop of 80 meters. It is the largest waterfall currently open to the public in Jiuzhaigou. There is another plank road built along the mountain. Go down the stairs. The waterfall will fly down beside you. The water will splash on you. Being able to touch the water of Jiuzhaigou so closely, I feel that my heart is purified. This section of the plank road is very suitable for walking. Basically, there are scenery at every step. It would be a pity to miss it. However, Panda Lake will become very small during the dry season. There is less water in the lake. The waterfall is not so turbulent. Therefore, starting from May, it is the best season to walk from top to bottom. That is the most beautiful scenery.

Panda Lake is the second attraction we visited in Jiuzhaigou. The blue-green water is so beautiful. I heard that during the dry season, black and white stones will appear under the lake, just like a panda in the water droplets.

The lake in Rizegou, Jiuzhaigou, is located downstream of the Jianzhuhai Waterfall and upstream of the Wuhua Lake. It is the lake with the largest water level change between the rainy and dry seasons in Jiuzhaigou. The water level can change by more than ten meters. There are two theories about the name of the lake. One is that it is close to Jianzhuhai, and there are many arrow bamboos that giant pandas like to eat nearby, so pandas often visit it. The other theory is that the color is like the panda's pattern. When I went there at the end of May, it was not the highest water level. The green lake water was embedded with a circle of golden lakeshore, which was very distinctive and beautiful. There were many small fish in the lake. I saw a couple feeding them (not allowed). The small fish gathered in a group on the lake, which was spectacular, but I do not support this behavior of feeding wild animals.

Some of the plank roads were closed during the off-season, so it felt relatively small and you could see it in about 10 minutes.

There are two theories about how the Panda Sea got its name. One is that pandas are often seen here, and the other is that there are white stones with black patterns under the water that look like pandas. I didn't see either real pandas or panda stones, but I was so attracted by the picturesque scenery that I couldn't move.

According to the tour guide, Panda Lake got its name because Tibetans have seen pandas playing in the water here, and also because when the lake dries up in deep winter, the exposed rock layer at the bottom of the lake is black and white, just like the color of a panda. It is so beautiful even in this season.

Continue walking back from Jianzhu Lake, or get off the bus, and you will arrive at Panda Lake. It is named because giant pandas like to come here to wander, drink water and forage for food. Panda Lake is a large lake in Rize Valley in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. The water is turquoise. Walking on the long plank road to watch the changing color of the lake is very beautiful.

The blue lake is rippling, the blue sky is studded with white clouds. This scene can be seen today and tomorrow, but autumn has not arrived yet.

The yellow maples struggle hard for autumn, while the green pines stay, the two overlap on the edge of the mountain, creating a splendid painting together.

There are also two plank roads in Panda Lake! Panda Lake is also an excellent reflection viewing spot! When we arrived at the Panda Lake viewing platform, there was no wind at this time and the water surface was calm, and the reflection was clear. Then we took a photo of the Panda Lake reflection, which is one of the three reflections in Jiuzhaigou. There is also the Panda Lake Waterfall, which is the waterfall with the largest drop in Jiuzhaigou. The waterfall is 50 meters wide and has a three-level drop of 65 meters. It is a waterfall that falls straight down, with a momentum like a rainbow, which is very spectacular! Here, the water mist splashed by the waterfall is very large, and there are many tourists. It is very spectacular. You will know it when you go there.

Below Jianzhu Lake is Panda Lake, where the water is the bluest among all the lakes and where many cold-water naked-scale fish unique to Jiuzhaigou live.

天空之鏡的拍攝景地，到處都是美景

It is said that this place got its name because pandas were seen here a long time ago, but there are no pandas here anymore. The scenery is pretty good though.

Panda Lake is 2,574 meters above sea level, 670 meters long, 109-237 meters wide, 24 meters deep, and has a storage capacity of 1.8 million cubic meters. It is said that it was named "Panda Lake" because pandas often move around here. Another theory is that the rock wall near the lake has a peculiar texture, which is reflected in the lake, and the round white stone with several circles of black patterns naturally under the water near the lake, which looks like a panda, is interesting. Panda Lake is a glacier-dammed lake, and the water level changes significantly with the seasons. This is also the lake with the densest fish population in Jiuzhaigou, and there is also a rare naked carp. However, when we came, it was completely frozen and we could not see anything. Of course, there was no water in the Panda Lake Waterfall, so we didn't stay for long before rushing to the next attraction - Wuhua Lake.

The evaluation is that the Panda Sea is frozen in winter, the scenery is slightly inferior, the plank road along the way is relatively long, it is a bit tiring to walk, and the water surface under the ice occasionally appears on the roadside. It can be seen that it is still beautiful if there is no ice.

It's so beautiful. It's hard to imagine that a pool of water can have so many colors. It's worth a visit. If you don't have enough strength, you can take a car down from Jianzhuhai

Panda Lake is great! The first attraction after entering Jiuzhaigou is the most classic scenery in the introduction, but it is not as rich as the Five Color Pool

It's very beautiful, especially the moment when you are waiting for the sun to shine. The water in Jiuzhaigou changes color according to the sunlight. There are ethnic costumes on one side of the Panda Lake, 20 yuan per person, you can experience it.

A lake with rich color changes, fish, plank roads, and mountains. It is recommended to go in the morning and there will be waves in the afternoon.

Panda Sea gives me a very mysterious feeling.

The color of the water of Panda Lake can only be seen from the inside out. You have to go there in the morning, otherwise the sunlight will reflect strongly on the pool and you won't be able to see anything.

Next to Jianzhu Lake is Panda Lake. It is said that giant pandas often roam here, but it is impossible to verify this now. Panda Lake is less famous in Jiuzhaigou, but unlike other lakes, Panda Lake is light blue, which contrasts with the white mudflats. It looks like a sea hidden deep in the green forest, which brings me an unexpected visual gain.

Panda Lake is located in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, at an altitude of 2,587 meters, 14 meters deep, and 90,000 square meters. Pandas are often seen here. The rock wall near the lake has a unique texture, which is reflected in the lake, and the round white stone with several circles of black patterns naturally formed under the water near the lake, which looks like a panda, is very interesting.

The most recommended ones are Panda Lake and Five Color Pool, which are unexpectedly beautiful. I feel that some parts of Panda Lake look like a beach.

Panda Lake is not far downstream from Jianzhu Lake. There are two versions about the origin of the name Panda Lake. One says that the giant pandas in Jiuzhaigou like to come here to drink water and find food, so this lake is called Panda Lake. Another version is that in the dead of winter, the ice surface that cannot be completely frozen is black and white, resembling panda skin, so it is named Panda Lake.

The water of Panda Sea is turquoise and clear, with clear reflections, similar to Jianzhu Sea, but the water color is deep in some places and shallow in others, which looks more layered. We also saw the legendary cold-water fish here, many small black ones~

It is said that the giant pandas in Jiuzhaigou like to come here to wander, drink water and forage for food, so this lake is called Panda Lake. The water of Panda Lake is clear and the reflection is clear. On a sunny day, the peaks stand quietly under the blue sky and white clouds, the shore is interspersed with forests, the waves and the shadows of the mountains, creating a blurred scene.

Haha, I feel that Panda Lake actually has nothing to do with pandas, and I didn’t see any black or white, but the scenery is indeed beautiful.

Panda Lake is very beautiful. It is the lake with the most fish in Jiuzhaigou. The water is so clear that you can see the dead trees and fish at the bottom. The reflections in the water are integrated with the mountains and it is difficult to distinguish them from each other. It is really worth a visit.

It's very distinctive, with a new scene at every step, but I can't tell how it looks like a panda.

It is usually noon when we get here. Although the resting terrace on the wooden plank road is not big, it is crowded with passengers sitting and resting. The most lively thing about this lake is the schools of fish swimming around.

The beautiful scenery and circles of different colored pools make people feel relaxed and happy

The waterfall at Panda Lake disappointed me, but fortunately I saw alpine naked carp

Panda Lake and the Little Apple we encountered on the road. Well, there weren’t many people, but we were a little tired after walking more than 2,000 meters by ourselves.

The surface of Panda Lake is very calm, the area is large, and the water is deep. There are many dead trees lying in the water. Are they thousands of years old? They look like a huge bonsai.

The water of Panda Lake is not the best among the several lakes, but it is still very charming. Unfortunately, there is no water in Panda Lake Waterfall in Jiuzhaigou in September...

There is a white stone with black stripes in Panda Sea, which looks like a cute giant panda. The water is clear and the reflection is clear, similar to Jianzhu Sea.

The Panda Lake and the waterfall are very beautiful. Remember to look back when you pass by. The scenery is different from the scenery you came from. The reflection is very beautiful.

The Panda Lake is 2,587 meters above sea level, 14 meters deep, and covers an area of ​​90,000 square meters. The rock wall beside the lake has a unique texture, which is reflected in the lake, and the round white stone with several circles of black patterns naturally under the water beside the lake, which looks like a panda, is a beautiful contrast. It is said that the giant pandas in Jiuzhaigou like to come here to wander, drink water, and forage, so this lake is called the Panda Lake. The water of the Panda Lake is blue and very beautiful.

The water here is crystal blue, as if it was drawn. There are many fish in the water that can be seen clearly. It is so beautiful!

Panda Lake is very beautiful. It would be more beautiful to take pictures if the leaves on the shore turned yellow.

The water in Jianzhu Lake is clear and green. When we got to Panda Lake, we found that the water turned blue, but it was still so clear. It was nice.

Pandas are often seen here. The rock wall near the lake has a peculiar texture, which is reflected in the lake, and there are round white stones with several circles of black patterns naturally growing under the water near the lake, which look like pandas.

The reflection is so clear that it is hard to tell whether it is the mountain entering the water or the water flooding the mountain. The giant panda is regarded as a lucky thing here and is deeply loved by the Tibetans in Jiuzhaigou. It is said that the giant pandas in Jiuzhaigou like to come here to wander, drink water, and forage for food, so this lake is called the Panda Lake.

It's so beautiful! You can see the best scenery from any position. I played in the ditch for two days but still couldn't play it all. I will go again when I have time.

Many people like Wuhua Lake. The colors are very beautiful, but the lake is not wide enough.

Very beautiful lake, so blue and clear, so beautiful
