💎🐉 Huanglong: China’s Colorful Fairyland 🐉💎

#mytraveldiary

High in the Minshan Mountains of Sichuan lies Huanglong (黄龙), a UNESCO World Heritage site that feels like stepping into a fairytale. ✨ Known for its terraced turquoise pools, golden limestone formations, waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks, Huanglong truly looks like nature’s palette spilled across the valley. 🎨💙💛

At over 3,000m altitude, the air is crisp, and prayer flags flutter near ancient temples, adding a touch of mystery to the already magical scenery. 🏔️⛪ The mix of colors, mountains, and Tibetan culture makes this place unforgettable.

💡 Tips for Travelers:
Getting there: 3–4 hrs by car from Jiuzhaigou / Songpan 🚗
Altitude: ~3,100–3,600m — move slowly & carry oxygen 💨
Tickets: ~¥160 🎟️
Best time: Sept–Oct 🍂 for golden forests + turquoise pools combo
Pro Tip: Take the cable car up 🚡, then hike down to fully enjoy the scenery 🌿

Huanglong isn’t just a destination — it’s a natural wonder where earth, sky, and spirit meet. 🌏💫
