The first lake after entering Jiuzhaigou is the Reed Sea, which can be seen after passing the Bonsai Beach. The Reed Sea is 2.2 kilometers long and is a semi-swampy lake with dense reeds. A clear stream with emerald green water and crystal clear water flows through the reeds. In spring and summer, the clear stream and reeds are the same color, and the eyes are full of green; in autumn and winter, the reeds are all golden yellow, like a piece of emerald on a golden plate, which makes people surprised and even dare not believe that the colors of nature can be so contrasting.

The Reed Sea is a scenic spot that I like very much.
The water flow slowed down here, and the color of the water was like a transparent sapphire. As the name suggests, the biggest feature of the Reed Sea is the large area of reeds here. Alan and I were a little tired after walking here, so we sat on the observation deck to rest. There are very few tourists here, and when the wind blows, the reeds make a rustling sound, which seems particularly peaceful.
My travel notes: Following the most beautiful autumn colors - Travel notes of Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong/Bipenggou in Sichuan http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/21345961.html
It is said that if you come back from Jiuzhaigou, you will not want to see water. The most amazing thing about Jiuzhaigou is the water. When I walked to Laohuhai, I believed it. When there is no wind, the water in Jiuzhaigou is really as still as a mirror and colorful.
Because the entrance to Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area collapsed in the 2017 earthquake and the new one is still under reconstruction, all tourists have to gather at the visitor center for a unified departure. However, there are also advantages. There are shuttle buses to transport tourists to the scenic spots, and the shuttle buses pick up and drop off tourists between the scenic spots in the scenic area, which can save a lot of time for tourists.
Jiuzhaigou is still under repair, and some areas of Rizegou are not open yet, so you can only reach Wuhua Lake. The water in Wuhua Lake has basically recovered, but the mountains in the distance still show traces of the earthquake. Although the scenic area has been repaired by planting trees, the white rocks exposed by the collapse of the mountain can still be clearly seen.
The reeds in the Reed Sea are lush and swaying in the wind. We saw many water birds, many of which we couldn't name, but we thought they were very pretty. The reeds here are not as tall as those in low-altitude areas. The peculiar thing is that there is a flowing water belt in the middle of the Reed Sea, winding through the Reed Sea and dividing the Reed Sea into two halves. This water belt has the luster and color of beautiful jade, so it is called the Jade Belt River. Legend has it that this beautiful Jade Belt River was transformed from the waist belt of Wonosemei, the female mountain god of Jiuzhaigou.
A place worth visiting, a masterpiece of nature
The "Reed Sea" is 2,140 meters above sea level and 2.2 kilometers long. It is a semi-swamp lake. In the sea, there are thick reeds, flying water birds, clear streams, rippling green and winding through the air, creating a beautiful marshland scenery. In the "Reed Sea", there are swaying reeds, a green expanse, a gentle breeze, and undulating green waves. The rustling sound is euphemistic and lyrical, making people feel relaxed and happy.
A semi-swamp lake with reeds growing in the sea. If you look from a distance, the lake water looks like a jade belt passing through the reeds, winding and twisting. Water birds occasionally peek out from the reeds, and the wind blows through the green waves, making everything full of vitality.
Walking on the mountain trails, stopping and looking at the beautiful scenery, it's great
You cannot get off the car to see the reed sea in Jiuzhaigou because it is a swamp. You can only see it from the car, but the scenery is still very beautiful.
The first lake I saw was so clear and green that it was amazing. There was a guide on the bus introducing the scenery along the way, and the TV in front would also play it simultaneously...
I wiped the car window with my sleeves desperately and took photos of the blurry silhouette of the sea of reeds. Parking was not allowed because the other side of the hillside was still dangerous.
The Reed Sea is located between Shuanglong Sea and Bonsai Sea. The plank road is 2.2 kilometers long, but the scenery is beyond expectations, especially near the sightseeing bus station, where a "jade belt" divides the Reed Sea into two parts. From getting off the bus at Sparkling Sea to Bonsai Beach, the first half of the Reed Sea is really beautiful.
The reed sea is very beautiful, like a green belt in the middle, pure and beautiful, and it is also great for taking photos.
Many of the pictures on the Internet are taken from drones, which we usually cannot see.
The scenery is very nice, and the water in Jiuzhaigou is unique in the world!
The Reed Sea is a semi-swampy lake. Because there is no drop-off point here and you have to walk here, the tourists here seem to be deserted. Most guides say that the "Reed Sea" can be seen by car. In fact, there is also an unusual beauty here. It's just that most people are exhausted after swimming here and just want to leave the scenic area and go back to the hotel to rest.
Actually, I went there in autumn and was attracted by the beauty of the Sparkling Sea and the Five-Colored Pool. I almost missed it. I saw it on the way back from the car, so I got off the car decisively. In fact, there is a kind of tranquil beauty, which forms a contrasting beauty with other blue lakes. It is also one of the contributors to the reputation of Jiuzhaigou as God's palette.
When we were leaving Jiuzhaigou, we got off the car and walked down along the long reed beach. It was really beautiful from a distance.
The last walk was to the Reed Sea, which seemed to be 3.3 kilometers long. It was really tiring. It was the last stop in Jiuzhaigou, so I was a little reluctant to leave.
The reeds at the bottom of the lake have not grown yet, so the beauty of the reed marsh cannot be seen.
It was great. I liked the Reed Sea the most. It was a pity that the bus did not stop. I walked back for more than ten minutes. It was very beautiful. It was worth walking back for so long.
A half-lake, half-swamp lake in the lower reaches of Shuzhenggou. The reeds are relatively short plateau reeds. It is downstream of Shuanglonghai and upstream of Bonsai Beach. There are many bends nearby and no shuttle bus stops. To appreciate it, you can either take a bus to see it, or walk downstream from Shuanglonghai, or walk upstream from Bonsai Beach. I walked all the way downstream from Shuanglonghai, which took about 30-40 minutes. I personally like the Reed Sea. The beautiful scenery of the clear water like a jade belt winding through the golden reeds is very unique. You can also see small landscapes such as the Semei Goddess Statue and the Tibetan Village along the way. The trail is right next to the road. It is a good hiking trail.
I love this vast expanse of reeds unique to Jiuzhaigou, surrounded by the green lake, it is so beautiful.
What I want to see most in Jiuzhaigou is the sea of reeds. Although it is not the season and the flowers are not in full bloom, the photos taken are still beautiful. It’s just that there is no station here, and you need to hike 2 kilometers to reach the sea of reeds.
Like a belt, transparent emerald green, in one word, beautiful!
The Reed Sea is one of the attractions I was most looking forward to.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of Rizegou, the Reed Sea is relatively less crowded. I started visiting the Reed Sea early in the morning, and there was almost no one there.
It's a very suitable place for taking big pictures, and it would be more charming if there was sunshine.
Going further up is the Reed Sea. The Reed Sea is 2,192 meters above sea level, 1,520 meters long, 124-186 meters wide, 3 meters deep, and has a storage capacity of 200,000 cubic meters. It is a semi-swampy lake with dense reeds in the sea. A clear stream with emerald green water and crystal clear water flows through the reeds. It is called the "Emerald River" or "Jade Belt River". Legend has it that it was transformed from the belt of the goddess Wolo Semei. Reeds originally only grow in low-altitude areas. The growth of reeds at such a high altitude in Jiuzhaigou is a wonder in itself, not to mention such a large area of Reed Sea. However, due to the high altitude, the reeds here are shorter than the common ones, or more delicate. The Reed Sea must be seen in autumn and winter, because only when the reeds are all yellow can such a magical color contrast be produced, and such a breathtaking view can be seen.
The slender sea of reeds is quite long. It is a bit tiring to walk along the coast. There is a green belt in the middle of the large reeds. It is amazing when the bus passes by.
The Reed Sea is a semi-swamp lake. In the middle of the Reed Sea, there is a flowing water belt that winds through the Reed Sea and divides the Reed Sea into two halves. This water belt has the luster and color of jade, so it is called the Jade Belt River. There is no drop-off point at the Reed Sea, and you have to walk here. Because of this, tourists seem to be deserted. I don't understand why there are no attractions in such a beautiful place. Maybe there are no stories to tell, and it is just quietly waiting for people to discover it.
You in winter, the withered reeds and the blue lake have a special flavor.
Endless swamps and wetlands are where reeds grow. There is a vast reed beach in the north of my hometown. Every spring, when flowers bloom, reeds break through the soil, straight and tall, and soon they become green branches, forming a large area. In the reeds, dense grass grows, and wild flowers are colorful, like stars. The gentle sunlight gently sprinkles on the green reeds.
The Reed Sea is the second attraction I recommend! It is really beautiful! The crystal clear lake water and the pale yellow reeds are simply beautiful!
The patches of reeds are so romantic. It would be more beautiful if you take a bird's-eye view. Unfortunately, there is no high platform.
The water in Jiuzhaigou is so beautiful that photos and words cannot describe it, seeing is believing.
The sea of reeds is beautiful at first glance, and the breeze is very comfortable
In fact, the scenery of Sparkling Lake, Shuanglong Lake and Bonsai Lake is not outstanding in Jiuzhaigou, but there is a Reed Lake that I particularly want to visit along the way, but there is no stop to get on or off the bus, so I can only walk all the way from Sparkling Lake Station to Reed Lake.
Finally we arrived at the Reed Sea, a semi-swamp lake. Amid the swaying reeds, a turquoise lake looks like a jade belt, and the golden reeds and green lake water complement each other, making it particularly beautiful.

The blue Jade Belt River and the statue of the goddess Se Ma
This is the place I want to go the most. It looks breathtakingly beautiful from afar. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I could only take some photos along the way and didn’t go in to see its true appearance.
The Reed Sea is worthy of its name, there are so many reeds and water flowing underneath. It looks a bit like a rice field, and there are ducks swimming in the water.
The turquoise water, it would be nice if I could go in it~~~~
The Reed Sea is emerald green. It may not be the main scenic spot. It may also be that the tour time for independent tours and group tours is different. When we arrived here, it was quiet and we closed our eyes and enjoyed it for a long time~~
In the sea, there are thick reeds, flying water birds, clear streams, rippling green and winding through the air, creating a beautiful scene of a marshy country. In the "sea of reeds", there are swaying reeds, a green expanse, a gentle breeze, and undulating green waves. The rustling sound is euphemistic and lyrical, making people feel relaxed and happy.
From the Sparkling Lake, through the Shuanglong Lake, you will arrive at the Reed Sea, which is 2,140 meters above sea level and 2.2 kilometers long. It is a semi-swamp lake. The lake is full of reeds, and the clear streams meander through the sky. The rustling sound is euphemistic and lyrical, making people feel relaxed and happy. Because the altitude has reached 2,140 meters, the reeds here are not as tall as those in low-altitude areas. The peculiar thing is that there is a flowing water belt in the middle of the Reed Sea, winding through the Reed Sea, dividing the Reed Sea into two halves. This water belt has the luster and color of beautiful jade, so it is called the Jade Belt River. Legend has it that this beautiful Jade Belt River was transformed from the waist belt of Wonosemei, the female mountain god of Jiuzhaigou. The gentle sunlight gently sprinkles on a golden reed, and each reed enjoys the sun bath quietly, looking so comfortable and so peaceful. The reeds are endless, undulating in the sea breeze, as spectacular as the sea. In the shallow and wet land, there are clumps of graceful reeds swaying in the wind in various postures, simple and unpretentious with a strong wild charm.
Reed Sea, the sightseeing buses inside are non-stop. But the scenery is absolutely super beautiful, you must go. If you have the energy, you must walk there to see it. The walk takes about 1-2 hours. It is really enjoyable to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful scenery. http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/5599055.html The travel notes are more detailed. There are also thousands of pictures and words in the Swiss travel notes, please support http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/5508607.html
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.
I went there in the summer. Although there is no contrast of blue and yellow in the autumn, the reed sea in the summer is still beautiful. The legend of the goddess dropping the jade belt is very beautiful.
It is so unique. The combination of yellow and green reeds and the blue river water is an absolute visual enjoyment. Don't just take the bus to see it in a hurry. Walk along the plank road and you will really appreciate its beauty.
To get to the Reed Sea, you must walk along the plank road to the next stop, Bonsai Beach, which is 2000 meters away. The Reed Sea is in the middle but there is no stop. In fact, you should get off at Bonsai Beach and walk back. You can see the Reed Sea after about 500 meters. A small blue river runs through the large yellow plateau reeds. It is really a photogenic trip. However, when you get there, you remember that it is only summer and the reeds are still green.
They are all reeds, and I admire the wonders of nature!
Very beautiful reed sea. I was amazed by the uncanny workmanship of nature.
Not long after I got on the bus, I screamed when I passed the reed beach. It was so beautiful. The water in Jiuzhaigou really lived up to its reputation.
I really like the blue water of the lake, especially in the sunshine.
Dense reeds, yellow and green reeds, short reeds, endless. The lake passes through the reeds, blue and green, changing endlessly. It is said that this lake was a filming location for the young Zhang Sanfeng
I took a few quick photos in the car on the way up the mountain. It was still very beautiful. I believe it will be even more beautiful in spring.
Everyone who has been to Jiuzhaigou knows that traveling in Jiuzhaigou is like taking a bus in a city. After visiting one stop, take the bus to the next stop. However, if you come in autumn or winter, it is recommended to walk. The scenery is very good.
When you exit Shuzhenggou, get off the bus and walk for a while to see the reed sea. There is no station. It is worth a visit. The scenery is beautiful.
Jiuzhai was visited before the New Year's Day. It was winter so it was quite cold. There were not many tourists. The people in the photos were all wearing down jackets. It was already afternoon when we arrived at Jiuzhai on the first day, so we didn't go up the mountain. We just learned about the surrounding situation, checked the hotel facilities, the tours near the hotel, the route to the entrance of the scenic spot and the ticket price. On the second day, we arrived at the scenic spot in the second batch. It is best to bring dry food with you. The meals in the mountain are average. We quickly bought tickets at the entrance of the scenic spot (we bought round-trip tickets and second entry into the mountain) and took the bus into the mountain. The bus was very standardized and had a uniform color. We went up the mountain to a point and then went down the mountain one after another. The up and down the mountain are basically winding mountain roads. If you are prone to motion sickness, don't play with your mobile phone. Take pictures slowly when going down the mountain. The circular bus stops at various stations and will not clear tourists until about 5 pm. On the first day, we took pictures of several scenic spots that we had expected before, all of which were located at relatively high locations. Because the physical strength was the best on the first day, it was easier to take a bus. On the second day, we walked into the mountain. The walking path was next to the driveway and was separated by a safety fence. It took more than 3 hours to walk from the entrance to the first scenic spot. Until the reed sea. We stayed there for a long time, and the wild ducks and sparrows were pleasant surprises. The sunlight shining on the reeds was also golden. There was a lot of water passing by, so I used a time delay to make it look soft. We took a bus on the way back, and two days of sightseeing were almost enough.
The Reed Sea is located between Bonsai Beach and Sparkling Sea. There is no parking spot at the Reed Sea. If you take the shuttle bus, you can only get off at Bonsai Beach or Sparkling Sea and walk to the Reed Sea. From the map, Bonsai Beach is closer to Sparkling Sea, so I chose to get off at Bonsai Beach and then walk to the Reed Sea. It takes about 20 minutes, but you can take pictures along the way, and there are some tourists, so you won't feel lonely. After a day of watching the mountains and waters of Jiuzhaigou, when I arrived at the Reed Sea at around 4 pm, I was already aesthetically fatigued by the mountains and waters, so when I saw the reeds fluttering in the wind, my eyes lit up. At the end of the Reed Sea near the Sparkling Sea, there is a face of the Semei goddess on the mountain. It is said that if you are lucky enough to see the face of the Semei goddess, it can bring you good luck. And the blue water belt in the middle of the Reed Sea is said to be the ribbon floating down from the Semei goddess statue. We looked for a long time but couldn’t find the statue of the goddess Se-mei. Just when we were about to give up, we suddenly found the goddess Se-mei looking at us from the other side of the sea of reeds! This day was perfect!
The "Reed Sea" is 2,140 meters above sea level and 2.2 kilometers long. It is a semi-swamp lake with dense reeds, flying water birds, clear streams, ripples and green, winding through the sky, creating a beautiful marshland scenery.
There may be reeds in many places, and there may be reeds more beautiful than these, but there is probably no blue water more beautiful than this.
This is very beautiful, but I suggest you don’t visit this attraction on foot. You have to walk a long way to get to the car. It’s much more beautiful when you see it from the car.
How can there be such a beautiful place? I really want to stay here and not go home.
The Reed Sea is located between Shuanglong Sea and Bonsai Sea, with a 2.2-kilometer-long plank road. The scenery is beyond expectations, especially near the sightseeing bus station, where a "jade belt" divides the Reed Sea into two parts. This belt has the luster and color of jade, and against the backdrop of golden reeds, it causes bursts of exclamations from tourists.
Maybe everyone has their own preferences. My favorite is the Reed Sea. This is the scenery when I went there at the end of October. However, the Reed Sea station does not stop, so you have to walk 1 kilometer from the previous or next station. I personally think it is worth it.
It is best to go to the Reed Sea in late summer or early autumn, because the reeds are changing color at that time, and it is very beautiful to look at!
The scenery is beautiful even in the late winter. The sightseeing bus does not stop so there are few people.
A sea of reeds in a river, a green sea in the shallows, golden floating in the breeze, a person looking at the reed painting
The water of the lake is clear and green, with yellow reeds on both sides, like a gift wrapped in a blue ribbon, presented to the eyes of all tourists.
The sea of reeds in winter is unexpectedly beautiful. Under the sunlight, the golden reeds and the snow-capped mountains in the distance form a beautiful picture!
The first lake after entering Jiuzhaigou. Reed Sea is a semi-swamp lake with dense reeds dancing in the wind. It is the home of water birds. There is a flowing water belt in the middle of Reed Sea, winding through Reed Sea, dividing Reed Sea into two halves. This water belt has the luster and color of beautiful jade, so it is called Jade Belt River. There were not many tourists when we arrived at this scenic spot, so everyone could take pictures quietly.
