Huanglong, the lost fairyland in the human world

#Mainland Travel ❗️❗️❗️Huanglong Scenic Area is definitely not an appendage of Jiuzhaigou. It has its own unique style and landforms, and the Five-Colored Pool is a fairyland lost in the world. However, the general comments online are that Huanglong has a low cost-effectiveness. The main reason is the lack of the drone's aerial perspective and the bird's-eye view. The stunning beauty of Huanglong cannot be fully displayed, and the visual feast will be greatly reduced. 🚄【Transportation】 Take the high-speed rail to Songpan or Jiuzhaigou Huanglong, and then take the scenic area through bus to Huanglong Scenic Area. It should be noted that the Huanglong trail entrance and the cableway entrance are not together. If you don’t have any luggage to store, you can go directly to the cableway entrance instead of getting off at the trail entrance. If you need to store luggage, you can do so for free at the tourist service center at the trail entrance, and then take the free shuttle bus to the cableway entrance. 🚠【Route Arrangement】 It is strongly recommended to take the cable car up and walk down, not only because it saves energy, but also because Huanglong's Yao Chi must be viewed from above to appreciate the beautiful water scenery. From the bottom up, you can only see the edge of the calcified pool. There is a daily limit of 5,000 electric bikes, which need to be purchased in advance on the official website. It is the peak season in Huanglong recently, and the waiting time for the cable car is basically more than 1 hour. Be sure to reserve enough time for the tour. If you like taking photos, it is best to reserve 4-5 hours of tour time. 🌈【Attractions Recommendation】 ✅Five-color pool Huanglong is the absolute king. The colorful pool under the sun can transform into a fairyland of colors and light, but you need to pay attention that the Huanglong scenic area is sandwiched in a valley. ✅Pool of Beauty After getting off the cable car, there is a high-altitude observation deck of Zhengyan Pool 1 kilometer ahead. We gave up this observation deck because we wanted to take the electric car and didn’t want to walk the extra 2 kilometers back and forth. If you have plenty of time or don’t want to take the electric car, you can go there to check in. It is well worth it.
