This Lover's Sea, located near Jinchuan County, Sichuan Province, is known in Tibetan as 'Saerjiao Co'. It was originally a beautiful river, but because it eventually flows into the famous Dadu River, many people have forgotten its name. It is said that the name comes from a beautiful love story~ Every time you go there, you can see different beauty emerging, and if you're lucky in winter, you can even encounter blue ice~ It has its unique beauty in every season.
