Reasons for the formation of color pool

The reasons for the formation of color pool are geological structure, mineral deposition, light refraction and mineral composition.

1, geological structure: Wucaichi area is located in the crustal active structural zone, and the hydrothermal activity formed by underground thermal curtain is frequent. Geothermal activity decomposes underground rocks and releases some minerals and elements.

2. Mineral deposition: under the action of underground hydrothermal activity, a large number of dissolved minerals are carried into deep groundwater. When water rises to the surface through underground cracks and rock crevices, minerals dissolved in the water begin to precipitate and crystallize due to changes in temperature, pressure and chemical environment.

3. Refraction of light: The lake in the color pool is very clear, and the refraction of light in the water produces dispersion. Tiny particles and mineral crystals in water will absorb and reflect light with different wavelengths, thus forming colorful lakes.

4. Mineral composition: The minerals in the color pool are mainly some metal ions, such as manganese, iron, calcium and silicon. The content and concentration of these metal ions are different, which makes the lake appear different colors under different illumination.

Generally speaking, the formation of color pool is the result of the joint action of geological structure, mineral deposition, light refraction and mineral composition. These factors are intertwined, making this colorful pool a unique and beautiful natural wonder.

Best viewing time of color pool

The best time to watch the colorful pool is in the morning and evening, especially when the sun is soft.

1. Morning: In the morning, the sunshine is low, and the colorful colors in the lake are brighter and more vivid. At this time, the light on the lake is softer, showing gorgeous colors, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

2. Evening: In the evening, the afterglow of the sunset shines on the colorful pool water, making the lake warm. The afterglow of the sunset adds a romantic and leisurely atmosphere to the colorful pool, which is very suitable for appreciation.

The colors of colorful ponds may change at different times and seasons. In addition, the weather in Jiuzhaigou area also has a certain impact on the viewing effect. When choosing the viewing time, you can refer to the local weather forecast and the advice of the tour guide to ensure that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the colorful pool in the best condition.
