On National Highway 318, known as the "Landscape Avenue of the Chinese", passing through the middle section from Litang County to Batang County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, there is a beautiful natural ecological reserve - Haizi Mountain. It is one of the largest ancient glacier relics on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average altitude of 4,500 meters. There are more than 1,000 "haizi", large and small, on the whole mountain. The Sisters Lake, which is located at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, is the most memorable for those who come to stop and watch. Everyone who has witnessed the Sister Lakes is amazed by its beauty.
According to records, since the Pleistocene, there have been three glacial movements of different scales in Haizi Mountain, which finally formed the current landform pattern. During the first ice age, glaciers covered the flattened surface of the Haizishan Plateau, forming an ice sheet. During the second glacial period, large dendritic valley glaciers formed close to the edge of the plateau planation. After the third ice age, the climate warmed up, the glaciers melted, and the water from the melted snow gathered in the ice-eroded depressions and rock basins, creating today's sister lakes.
Sister Lake is also called "Glass Lake". It lies quietly at the foot of Haizi Mountain. No matter how the seasons change, its charm is always the same. You can witness its different beauty in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Dear friends, if you have not been here yet, you may wish to imagine these pictures. In the spring when everything is awakened, the breeze is gently rippling, and under the caress of the wind, there are slight ripples on the lake; in the hot summer, Invite three or five friends here to escape the summer heat.

At this time, the Sisters Lake witnesses your deep "sisterhood"; when the afterglow of autumn shines on the snow mountain , also covered the surface of Bibo lake with a layer of golden light. Who can compare with the sister lakes at this time? The snow-capped mountains in winter look even more majestic, but the lake under the snow-capped mountains does not change with the seasons, and there is still a flow of yearning for the distance under the ice...
