Snowy Season at 'Huanglong': Slowing Down in a Celestial Paradise

Huanglong Scenic Area, located in Songpan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan, is renowned for its magnificent calcified pools, earning it the title of 'Celestial Paradise on Earth.' This area boasts six unique attractions: colorful pools, travertine streams, snow-capped mountains, gorges, ancient temples, and local customs. Among these, the most breathtaking is the 3.6-kilometer-long golden travertine terraces, reflecting thousands of vibrant, multicolored pools. I visited Huanglong during the snowy season, where the surroundings were blanketed in white, and the air was thin. The high altitude made every step a slower, more deliberate effort. ❄️ Walking along the tranquil mountain paths, it felt as if the entire world was reminding me— At such heights and in this pristine white world, one must breathe lighter, speak softer, and truly embrace the serene grandeur of nature.⛰️
