Sleeping Dragon Lake
卧龙海
A creamy-yellow travertine ridge lies on the lake bed, faintly visible through the blue-green water like a crouching dragon.
Wolong Lake lies in the middle of Shuzheng Valley. It is about 22 m deep, with deep blue water. A creamy white travertine ridge lies across the lake bed, and in calm weather it looks like a sleeping dragon, which gave the lake its name. Boardwalks and viewing platforms by the lake let you photograph the “dragon” from above. Wolong Lake is very close to Sparkling Lake, and it is usually visited together with Sparkling Lake and Double Dragon Lake along the Shuzheng Valley boardwalk. A sightseeing bus stops nearby, and you can reach the lake on foot from there.
