Jiuzhaigou Jiuzhuhai: A Majestic Lake Amidst Bamboo Forests

Jiuzhuhai, located within the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area in Zhangzha Town, Jiuzhaigou County, sits at an elevation of over 2,600 meters and is a lake approximately six meters deep. The lake’s surface is vast and elongated, with lush and towering arrow bamboos surrounding the lake, their shadows dancing and bringing vitality to the area.
A unique spectacle in Jiuzhuhai is the presence of calcified deadwood in the lake water, sometimes partially exposed above the water’s surface, with new saplings taking root on them, a phenomenon known as decaying wood renewal or deadwood springing to life.


Moreover, the famous sword-fighting scene between ‘Broken Sword’ and ‘Nameless’ from the movie ‘Hero’ was filmed here, attracting fans to visit and seek out the scenes of flashing swords and shadows from the film.


Jiuzhuhai is open all year round, with 24/7 access. However, the specific operating status is subject to the day’s opening conditions.
