Why does the beautiful and mysterious "three-color lake" show three different colors in the sun?

Three-color Lake in Tibet is a very attractive tourist attraction. It is attractive because the color of the lake will change. According to different regions, the color of the lake will change differently, even from different angles in different seasons. As for why the color of the lake has changed so much, there is no unified official conclusion at present, but there are some speculations among the people.

There are some myths and legends. It is said that an eagle once passed by this tricolor lake. I find the lake here very beautiful, and I want to have a rest here. Then the nearby elephant blocked his way, and the two men had a very big fight. In the end, the two men became two mountains by the lake, always guarding the three-color lake. The color of myths and legends is so strong that it is really impossible to verify them. This is just folklore.

Some people have also studied the formation of three colors in the lake. Some people think that different aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake form different reflections and produce different colors under the sunlight. Some people think that the rocks at the bottom of the lake have different colors because of different geological conditions. It is also said that different places in this lake have different shades and light transmittance under the irradiation of sunlight, forming different colors. Anyway, opinions vary, but such a magical three-color lake has always existed.

Tibet has gathered many essences of nature. The great attraction of natural lakes such as Yangzhuoyongcuo Lake, Sailimu Lake and Sanse Lake has attracted many foreign tourists and risked their lives to travel to Tibet.
