What people are saying:
The scenic spot of Qingchi, Hokkaido, Japan, is a bit like what is the scenic spot of Jiuzhaigou in our country. Look at the clear beach bottom in the lake, the local humanities environment, etc.

Introduction
Blue Pond is located in Biei, Hokkaido. It is a pond where the water surface has a light-bluish color. It is surrounded by forest and has a beautiful scenery, attracting many photography enthusiasts. Apparently, the brighter the light, the bluer the water appears. Tourist call it the "Little Nine-Village Valley" of Japan (reference to Nine-Village Valley in Sichuan). There is also a famous hot spring nearby, called Shirogane Onsen.

The scenic spot of Qingchi, Hokkaido, Japan, is a bit like what is the scenic spot of Jiuzhaigou in our country. Look at the clear beach bottom in the lake, the local humanities environment, etc.
Shirokane Blue Pond is not a popular attraction in the mountains of Biei Town. It is mainly visited by foreign tourists, mainly for the many flower fields and hills outside of Biei Station. Most of them are day trips, and it is not common to live in and even go to the mountains for in-depth tours. . The most well-known Baijin Qingchi became the Apple MAC desktop picture. If viewed from the side, the water here will show an oil painting-like blue color, which is very moving. Some people call it Xiao Jiuzhaigou, but it is still different from Jiuzhaigou. Yes, it is closer to the Blue Moon Valley under the Yulong Snow Mountain. As for the reason, I will analyze it in the next comment.
The beautiful scenery of Hokkaido is countless. Biei is the most beautiful in Japan. Mistake. You can't see the hills and flower fields in winter. Let's take a look at the Blue Pond! The Blue Pond is really beautiful, and it’s even more beautiful after it snows. I went there in the winter of 2014. It was a bus to and from. Please remember the time!
I traveled to Hokkaido in August and reported a one-day trip to the Shirogane Blue Pond in Furano. The Baijin Blue Pond is like an unmanaged park. The Japanese people’s environmental awareness is indeed worth learning. Although there is no management, the scenic spot has no garbage and the scenery is beautiful. Worth a visit!
The Qingchi Scenic Area is open for free. There is a pond with blue water on the surface and surrounded by forests. Many tourists call this "Little Jiuzhaigou" in Japan. Blue Pond was once photographed by a photographer from National Geographic. The work was purchased by Apple and became one of the default desktops of the MAC operating system. It is said that the pool water here contains a lot of aluminum due to volcanic eruption. Due to the scattering of light, the stronger the sun, the more dazzling the blue. The water area of the Blue Pond is not large. It only takes 30 minutes to walk from start to end and play while walking, but the scenery is more exquisite. The blue lake, the green forest, and the distinctive feature is that the pine trunks grow in the water.
