China's Jiuzhai Valley
Blue and green lakes as well as waterfalls dot Jiuzhai Valley National Park in southwestern China north of Chengdu. The area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, in part for the natural beauty and in part for its endangered plant and animal species, such as giant pandas and the Sichuan takin, a type of antelope.
There's a legend, according to the park's website, that a goddess broke a mirror, and the resulting 114 lakes are the shards that scattered.
