Sichuan - Diexi Lake 230921

Our first visit to Diexi lake as we were on a drive from Chengdu to Chuanzhusi Town. It was rainy and already late in the afternoon. Still, I got to take some photos of the beautiful lake.

Diexi Lake  叠溪海子 ( Diéxī Hǎizi )

Diexi Lake is a landslide dam - created lake formed from the Diexi 1933 earthquake. Diexi was a town in Mao County. Apparently, the whole town of Diexi sank into this lake. The remnants of the town are still visible today.

There's a small stall at the lake; a couple selling titbits and vegetables.
