#chinatravel

A UNESCO World Heritage Wonder
Hidden in the mountains of northern Sichuan, Huanglong Scenic Area is a breathtaking valley of turquoise travertine pools, snow-capped peaks, and ancient forests. Its name, meaning "Yellow Dragon," comes from the golden limestone formations that cascade like a dragon’s scales.

Must-See Highlights
✔ Five-Color Pond (Wucai Chi) – The most vibrant pool cluster, reflecting like a shattered mirror.
✔ Golden Sand Basin– A glittering travertine "river" resembling a dragon’s spine.
✔ Zhaga Waterfall – Sichuan’s tallest waterfall (93m).
