Look! Huanglong Scenic Area welcomes its first snowfall of the autumn! ❄️
The colorful pools are breathtakingly beautiful after the snow~
At 3,400 meters above sea level by the Five-Color Pools,
snowflakes gently fall😍
The vividly colored travertine pool water💙
meets the crystal-clear white snow❄️
A palette spilled by God meets frosting sprinkled by angels!

Walking here is truly amazing✨
Every step is a visual shock!
Every photo you take with your phone is wallpaper-worthy📸
Wearing light-colored clothes is recommended for better photos👗
Don’t forget to bring a camera + telephoto lens
(My mirrorless camera got a serious workout)

Tips for your visit:
1️⃣ Big temperature difference! Remember to bring a down jacket + scarf🧣
2️⃣ Altitude sickness alert⚠️ Prepare an oxygen bottle

September to October is the best time for autumn viewing
Now with the first snow added,
this trip is truly unbeatable!
Ladies, let’s go!!
