Tiger Lake 老虎海, Jiuzhaigou

Tiger Lake, Jiuzhaigou (17 October, 2005)


Tiger Lake (Simplified/Traditional Chinese: 老虎海; Pinyin: Lǎohǔ Hǎi) is a lake in Jiuzhaigou Valley that continues from Rhinoceros Lake, in a series of ribbon lakes that together form the greater Shuzheng Lake. These lakes were carved by glacier in the Jiuzhaigou Valley. Situated slightly lower than Rhinoceros Lake, Tiger Lake has an elevation of 2298 meters, and is located directly above Shuzheng Waterfall.

The distance from Rhinoceros Lake to Shu Zheng Falls is sufficiently short for visitors to visit these three related sights on foot. How does the Tiger Lake get its name? The inverted image of the mountains on the lake looks like the tiger's stripes, the Shuzheng waterfall is like the tiger's head, while the sound of the waterfall is like the tiger's roar.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
