✨ Ever heard of a lake that never fills or drains? Meet Long Lake in Jiuzhaigou – the breathtaking "blue elongated mirror" sitting at the highest altitude in the park. 🌊🏔️
Located in Sichuan Province on the Chinese mainland, this stunning lake stretches longer than any other in the scenic area. It's the source of the entire Jiuzhaigou water system, channeling crystal-clear meltwater from the snow-capped Min Mountains.
In Tibetan, locals call it the "treasure gourd that never fills nor drains," a nod to its mysterious, unchanging water level. Thanks to unique geology and a constant flow of snow and ice melt, the lake's surface shimmers like a perfect mirror against the sky.
Whether you're a traveler chasing hidden gems or a student of nature, Long Lake is a must-see wonder. Pack your camera and get ready for epic views! 🎒📸
