Recently, the Huanglong Scenic Area in Songpan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan, was graced by an autumn snowfall, transforming the approximately 3.6-kilometer-long Huanglong Valley into a fairy tale world. The Five-Color Pools, the core attraction of the scenic area, appear even more vibrant against the white snow. The 693 natural calcified pools resemble emeralds embedded in a snowy field, with the pools reflecting dazzling colors of blue and green that sharply contrast with the pure white snow, creating a magnificent natural ink painting. Visitors can slow their pace, stop at the boardwalk viewing platforms to take photos, or stroll through the forest to hear the sound of falling snow, enjoying the lively scenery where their shadows blend with the snowy landscape. Huanglong Scenic Area is famous for its colorful pools, snowy mountains, canyons, and forests. After the snowfall, the main peak of Xuebaoding appears even more majestic, complementing the colorful pools. Along with the lingering autumn scenery in the forest, the area instantly transforms from a golden autumn painting into a silver-clad fairyland. The fresh air and unique scenery after the snow will surely make the visit worthwhile. Come to Huanglong Scenic Area and experience the surprise and romance brought by this autumn snowfall!
