Enter the Dreamlike Jiuzhai, Travel through the Fairyland (Part 2)

Continued from "Enter the Dreamlike Jiuzhai, Travel through the Fairyland (Part 1)" In my opinion, this place looks like a primeval forest. It turns out that the name of Arrow Bamboo Lake comes from the fact that a large number of arrow bamboos grow on the lakeside, which are the favorite food of giant pandas. Arrow Bamboo Lake is adjacent to Panda Lake, hence the name. Arrow Bamboo Lake is located in the upper part of Rize Valley, with an altitude of 2,600 meters, a depth of 6 meters, and an area of 170,000 square meters. The arrow bamboos are lush in the upper central part, and the fir trees stand tall around. There are also several pairs of wild ducks playing in the lake, making sounds from time to time, attracting many photographers to focus. After passing through the arrow bamboos, we unconsciously went down to the Arrow Bamboo Lake with water. After walking a short distance to the right, we heard the sound of a waterfall. It turned out that we had come to the front of the Arrow Bamboo Lake Waterfall. This row is full of waterfalls, which are beautiful in shape. Since the waterfall has a small drop, there is almost no water mist, and many people are taking photos and videos. I also took out my camera and started to work. Then I wandered in the path of the waterfall stream, walked east for a while, and walked diagonally for a while. Unconsciously, I followed the signs and came to Panda Lake. When I arrived at this lake, I had a wide view and felt suddenly enlightened. The calm and green lake is very beautiful, and the opposite bank is a mountain forest belt. Turning around to see the color of the forest of the Arrow Bamboo Waterfall, it is extraordinarily golden and beautiful in the sun, with some golden and mostly green jade. This scenery is really exciting, and I can't help but take photos. After walking 100 meters, I came to the colorful forest and leaves. I took a lot of photos of the colorful forest in the near distance and the lake in the far distance. The scenery was extremely beautiful! Especially the colorful leaves in the backlight, the pure golden color is so bright and transparent, which is really amazing. In this lake, there are small fish in the pool, and the whole small tree trunks and branches are immersed in the beautiful lake. All the tourists are staring at this scene. Going forward, there is the dam, fence, and commercial service point of Panda Lake. The dam and fence are close to the exposed cliff rock, and many people are relaxing here. Since it was not early and we didn't want to wait in line for the bus, we had to walk quickly through the Panda Lake Tunnel, which is more than 1,000 meters long, to check in at "Five Flower Lake". When we arrived at the "Five Flower Lake", there was a downhill plank road on the left, and there was almost no one. However, the parking spot of Five Flower Lake was 300 meters ahead, and several buses stopped and came again. People got off one by one, and the road was blocked again. We had to follow the crowd. A few minutes later, we arrived at Five Flower Lake. This lake is not as beautiful as the tour guide said, but gradually entering the core area of the lake, the beauty of "Five Flower Lake" was revealed. "Five Flower Lake" is one of the wonders of Jiuzhaigou and the essence of Jiuzhaigou. Five Flower Lake can present colors such as goose yellow, dark green, dark blue, and navy blue, which are mottled and colorful, attracting many tourists and photography enthusiasts. Five Flower Lake has a phenomenon that other lakes do not have, that is, there are many old trees soaked at the bottom of the lake, which are placed naturally. I looked around the Five Flower Lake, and the scenery was remarkable. In addition, according to local people and experts, although the surroundings of Five Flower Lake are frozen in winter, the lake is not frozen. This strange phenomenon is because it has underground water supply, and the water has a certain temperature. After seeing the essence of Five Flower Lake, I felt much satisfied. On the way back, I passed Pearl Shoal, but I didn't take it seriously. I went to the transfer station to queue up and missed the beautiful Pearl Shoal Waterfall. On the bus, I didn't get off to see Mirror Lake and went straight to Nuorilang Transfer Station. It was almost 3 pm, and it was not early, so I relaxed for a few minutes and then continued to walk according to the sign to Nuorilang Waterfall, which is the widest waterfall in China, with a width of 270 meters, a height of 24.5 meters, and an altitude of 2,365 meters. Nuorilang means "tall and strong" in Tibetan. After enjoying the waterfall, I went down along the plank road. This area is full of forests, streams, and forest paths, with fresh air and flowing water. I went up to queue for the bus again. This position is on the Shuzheng Valley line, under Shuzheng Village. 95% of the buses going down the mountain were full. After waiting for several buses, I decided to take the bus. On the bus, I saw that there were indeed many tourists on the shore of the lake, and they were very interested in the lake! But we couldn't get off the bus to have a closer look, so we sat on the bus and said goodbye to the beautiful scenery again!
