Huanglong

Also known as the Yellow Dragon Valley, the Huanglong region to the south/southeast of Jiuzhaigou was acknowledged as a National Park in 1983. The area is located in Songpan county, Aba Tibetan and Qiang ethnic minority autonomous prefecture, Sichuan province. It was originally thought that the limestone mineral patterns within colourful ponds and the yellow waters resembled a dragon’s tail and a temple was built to honour the yellow dragon – hence the valley name. Road entry to the area is the only way through the mountain pass where the picturesque snow-capped mountain landscape is one that just has to be photographed.
