Here we are at the Long Lake, in Chinese is Changhai. It is located at the top of Zezawa Valley .3100 above sea level. There are some questions for you?
1. how was the lake formed?
2. Why does the lake have no exit ?
3. Are there any fish in the lake?
4. How long is the lake?
5. How deep is the lake ?
The first question still remains a mystery. It is uncertain whether it was formed due to earthquakes, landslides or mud-rock flow. The source of the water comes from springs among the forests and melted snow on the surrounding mountains. The water never overflows in summer and never dries up in winter. The only way for water to drain in the lake is to evaporate and permeate into the ground.The lake has no fish probably because it is too cold. According to legend a monster ate all the fish a long time ago. The lake is 7.5km in length, and in some parts the lake is 103m in depth.
     Changhai is the largest lake in Jiuzhaigou. The natural beauty of the lake strikes you as vast and infinite, presenting a picture of endless imagination. The lake remains unruffled, clouds float by, and water birds frolic across the lake. The surround green forests grow verdant, casting shadows on the water. Whether or not you believe that a creator exists, this sight will make you feel that there must surely be one. It seems strange that such wonders are set remote like this, where thousands of years may have passed before we come along to appreciate them.
