Day 33 – A Goddess’ Broken Mirror

Today I want to talk about Wuhua Hai, or “Five Flower Lake,” in China. I found this lake on a list of the world’s most beautiful lakes, and I have to agree, judging by this picture, that it deserves a place on that list. (http://all-that-is-interesting.com/worlds-six-most-beautiful-lakes). The colors are beautiful!



This lake is located in Jiuzhaigon National Park, in China. It is part of 108 multicolored lakes which, according to legend, were created when an ancient goddess dropped a mirror from her lover and it broke into 108 pieces. Perhaps the coolest thing about this lake is that the floor of the lake is full of ancient tree trunks. You can see some of them in this picture:




I love water- oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds. There is something so calming about it, and it’s so intriguing how many different colors water can take on. This lake is definitely something I would like to see in person someday. The colors of the water against the colors of the trees are a great contrast!

Xoxo,
