Be fascinated by the lakes on the Daocheng Yading Plateau and encounter the color of your dreams

My friends, after visiting Daocheng Yading, I finally understood what a true paradise on earth is, especially the plateau lakes there, which are so shocking!

Let’s talk about Milk Lake first, which can be regarded as the “Pearl” of Daocheng Yading. It is not easy to see it. It takes some effort. You have to hike from Chonggu Temple. It is uphill all the way. The road is narrow and steep, which is a test of your physical strength and perseverance. But the moment I saw the Milky Way, it was all worth it. The azure blue lake is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and there is a layer of milky white sediment on the lakeside, sparkling in the sun, like a gem left by God in the world, so beautiful that it takes your breath away.

Then there is the Five-Colored Lake, which is not far from the Milk Lake and has a different kind of beauty. Looking down from a high place, the Five-Colored Sea looks like a piece of colorful jade. The lake water will show different colors depending on the light and angle. Sometimes it is deep blue, sometimes it has a hint of green, and it also reflects a light purple. It is unpredictable and simply magical.

Pearl Lake is also very distinctive. Compared with the previous two lakes, it is more friendly and the journey is relatively easy. Pearl Lake is like a mirror of the Xiannairi Snow Mountain. The reflection of the snow mountain is clearly reflected in the lake. The mountains and water are interdependent, which is beautiful beyond words. Moreover, the surrounding vegetation is lush and the scenery varies with each season. In spring, there are wild flowers all over the mountains, and in autumn, the leaves are golden and the forest is full of colors, which makes people intoxicated no matter how they look at it.

Each of these plateau lakes in Daocheng Yading has its own unique charm. They are not only the wonders of nature, but also purifiers of the soul. There, time seemed to slow down and all worries were thrown away. I sincerely recommend everyone to take a trip to Daocheng Yading to see these incredibly beautiful plateau lakes with your own eyes!
