Introduction

In the earthquake on August 8, 2017, the Sparkling Lake suffered serious damage, with a crack up to 50 meters long. The scenic spot suffered heavy losses and has almost dried up. The ocean was once located between the Shuanglong Sea and the Wolong Sea. The blue waters looked very calm, like a huge mirror. Surrounded by mountains and dense forests, the lake was hidden behind the lush greenery, like a transparent emerald. In the morning, the sun rose slowly, and the reflection of the sunlight made the lake shimmer with golden light, as if countless sparks were jumping in the water.
