¡Hola, amigos! Set at a high altitude in the southwest of the Chinese mainland’s Sichuan Province, Long Lake in Jiuzhaigou is the scenic area’s longest lake and the source of its water system.
On the lake’s bank stands a cypress unlike any other 🌲. Its branches and leaves burst with life on one side, while its trunk on the other side remains bare—earning it the local nickname 'one-armed old man' cypress 🧓.
Visitors often pause and stare, inspired by how nature tells its own story of resilience. It’s like seeing an ancient guardian raising a lone arm in salute to the sky!
Whether you’re into epic landscapes, unique natural wonders, or that perfect Instagram shot, this cypress—and the crystal-clear waters of Long Lake—should be on your bucket list 💚.
