Reed Lake
芦苇海
A reed wetland about 2 km long, with a turquoise “jade ribbon river” winding through the reeds; it is the first sight after entering Jiuzhaigou.
Reed Lake lies between the Jiuzhaigou entrance and Bonsai Shoal, at an elevation of about 2,140 m. It is a semi-marshy lake thick with reeds, and the clear, turquoise Jade Ribbon River winds through the golden or green reeds, creating striking color contrast. Water birds often nest in the reeds in summer and autumn. A boardwalk follows the lake shore; it takes about 30 minutes on foot, or you can view it from the sightseeing bus. It makes a good final stop before leaving the valley, when the evening light is soft.
