This stunning volcano lake is famous for its strange water change case. It consists of three adjacent lakes, each of which has its own color, and the colors are still changing over time. From various shades of green to black, others to red, brown, and so on, due to volcanic activity. Over the last century, one of the three lakes color changed 44 times. Each time this happens, the locals will bring offerings to their ancestral spirits, making the natural wonder to be a culturally significant place as well.
4. Labuan Mirror

Mirror means "mirror", which exactly describes the natural charm of the lake. Clear water makes it possible to observe the bottom of the lake only by looking down from above; no snorkeling or any equipment required. Tourists can rent boats to float in the lagoon (you can even see the shadow of a boat at the bottom of the lake!) Or rent a floating tire and swim freely around the see-through water that reflects the bright sunshine. This lake also has other strange features. Miraculously, the water near the bottom is salty but near the surface, it's all fresh water. Swimming below the surface, you can see the changing habitat of freshwater fish into exotic saltwater organisms.
