Reed Lake in Jiuzhaigou is truly stunning!

Here's a travel guide for Jiuzhaigou's Reed Lake: Attraction Highlights - Marshland Scenery: Reed Lake is a semi-marshland lake, 2.2 km long and at an altitude of 2,140m. The lake is filled with reeds, with water birds flying above and clear streams flowing through. The green ripples create a picturesque marshland scene. - Jade Belt River: A crystal-clear, turquoise stream meanders through the center of Reed Lake, dividing it in half. This stream, known as the "Jade Belt River," has the luster and color of jade. Legend says it was transformed from the belt of the mountain goddess Wonosemo. - Four Seasons of Beauty: In spring and summer, the streams and reeds share the same vibrant green hue. In autumn, the reeds turn golden, their fluff fluttering in the breeze, contrasting beautifully with the clear streams. In winter, the golden reeds are blanketed with snow, accompanied by the quietly flowing streams. Tour Recommendations - Best Viewing Time: Reed Lake is most beautiful at sunrise and sunset. If you're on a day trip, we recommend visiting between 4-5 pm, when the light is soft and ideal for photography. - Photo Spots: Wear light-colored clothing to contrast with the golden reeds and turquoise water. Take photos from the viewing platform with the panoramic view of Reed Lake as your backdrop, or walk along the boardwalk for close-up shots with the reeds and Jade Belt River. - Tour Route: As there's no sightseeing bus stop at Reed Lake, you can take the bus to Bonsai Shoals and walk back about 800m to reach the Reed Lake viewing platform. Alternatively, get off at Sparkling Lake and walk 2.5 km along the boardwalk, enjoying the views of Sparkling Lake and Double Dragon Lake along the way, before finally arriving at Reed Lake. Important Notes - Altitude Sickness: Jiuzhaigou is at a high altitude, so altitude sickness is possible. Prepare altitude sickness medication in advance, such as Rhodiola, and avoid strenuous activity. - Stay Warm: The temperature difference between day and night in the scenic area is significant. Even in summer, bring a warm jacket, and take extra precautions in winter. - Protect the Environment: Reed Lake is a natural treasure. Please do not litter and respect the plants and environment.
