October is the main travel month in China when millions of people visit cities and increasingly nature sites. Additionally, here in the Jiuzhai National Park, the trees show their rich beauty in autumn colors and these colors, combined with the vaunted blue waters are huge magnets attracting ever-increasing numbers of visitors. One of the most famous ponds (and also one of the smallest), is the Five-Color-Pond, variously also named as Five-Colored-Pond, Five-Color-Lake, Peacock Lake, etc. The first images in this set show an immense throng of people at the favorite shores of that small pond, then we concentrate on the pond itself.

Five-Color Pond (五彩池, Wǔcǎi Chí) is one of the smallest bodies of water in Jiuzhaigou lakes. It has an area of just 5,645 m² / 60,000 sq ft and a depth of 6.6 m / 22 ft and is situated at an altitude of 2,995 m / 9,820 ft. Despite its very modest dimensions and depth, it has a richly colored underwater landscape with some of the brightest and clearest waters in the area. According to legend, this is the pond where the goddess Semo washed her hair and god Dage came daily to bring her water.
