The Huanglong Wucai Pool covers an area of 21,000 square meters and has 693 colorful pools. Surrounded by mountains, the naturally calcified pools are arranged in a staggered pattern. From above, it looks like a giant palette created by nature. The origin of the name "Huanglong": The spectacular surface travertine flow in the Huanglong Scenic Area meanders through the primeval forest, resembling a golden dragon soaring through the sky, hence the name "Huanglong" (Yellow Dragon). The calcified colorful pools are the main attraction of Huanglong. There are 8 groups of over 2,300 colorful pools in Huanglong, connected in layers and arranged in terraces from high to low. These colorful pools range from a few square meters to several dozen square meters. The calcium carbonate in the pools forms different types of travertine with various organic and inorganic substances during the deposition process. Combined with the changes in light, the pools take on different colors. Therefore, people call the colorful pools of Huanglong "Wucai Pool" (Five-Color Pool). Wucai Pool is located at an altitude of 3,576 meters, 4,166 meters from the entrance. It is the calcified colorful pool group at the top of Huanglong. The 693 calcified pools are like colorful pearls embedded in the primeval forest, known as the "paradise on earth." Walking along the pool, countless colorful pools of different sizes and shapes are like watercolor palettes filled with various colors, such as blue-green, sea blue, light blue, etc., which are gorgeous and unique. It is like a fairy's emerald scattered among the mountains, beautiful and magical, known as the "eyes of Huanglong," and is the essence of the Huanglong Valley Scenic Area.

Huanglong Travel Guide

Huanglong is back! These tips will help you avoid detours!|||✨Travel date: November 3 I originally planned to spend two days in Jiuzhaigou, but I felt a bit tired of the scenery after two days. My mom, who has a heart condition, didn't feel any discomfort, so we decided to go to Huanglong. ✨If you're traveling with seniors or children and are worried about altitude sickness, you can visit Jiuzhaigou on the first day. If you don't feel any discomfort, you can visit Huanglong on the second day. ✨I recommend young people visit Jiuzhaigou first, because Huanglong is very tiring. If you visit Huanglong first, you might not have the energy to enjoy Jiuzhaigou. ✨It's hard to get a high-speed train ticket from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. I couldn't get a ticket even after waiting for a long time. I had to waitlist many bookings before I got a round-trip ticket. Outbound: Chengdu East to Huanglong Jiuzhai, return: Songpan to Chengdu East. ✨Wear winter clothes! Wear a hat! Wear sunscreen! It's cold and sunny! ✨Search for "Huanglong Scenic Area" on Trip.com to find a direct bus from Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong. You can buy a bus ticket in advance. ✨We took the cable car up the mountain and walked down. The sightseeing bus to the Five-Color Pond is limited to 5,000 tickets per day, and most of them are bought by scalpers and tour guides. Scalpers sell the CNY 20 tickets for CNY 100–200. You can go to the ticket office with your ID card after getting off the cable car. Don't worry about the sold-out notice or broadcast. The tourists in front of and behind me all bought tickets successfully. (I don't know why this is the case.) ✨There are no restaurants in the scenic area, only small shops. The food is expensive, so I recommend bringing your own bread. ✨It's a 3 km walk from the Five-Color Pond to the exit. It's all downhill, so it's not tiring, but my legs were sore all night after I got home. 😂 ✨I think the best view is the ponds starting from the Colorful Pond, so it's okay if you don't make it to the Five-Color Pond. ✨Bring some nuts or snacks. You might meet squirrels on the way down who will ask you for food. (They're not afraid of people at all and will follow you!) ✨Turn right after exiting. There's a bus to the high-speed train station in the parking lot. You can scan the code to get on. Holiday trip

Huanglong Five-Color Pond: A Celestial Wonderland Above the Clouds

Huanglong Five-Color Pond: A Celestial Wonderland Above the Clouds Situated on a plateau over three thousand meters above sea level, Huanglong Five-Color Pond is like a dazzling pearl embedded among the mountains, hailed as the 'Jade Pool on Earth.' Stepping onto this magical land, although the slight discomfort of altitude sickness may quietly set in, the grandeur and purity of nature are enough to make one forget all discomfort and become immersed in it. Regarding altitude sickness, you might feel a bit uncomfortable initially, but please believe that the body's ability to adapt far exceeds our imagination. Here, I do not recommend hastily buying oxygen bottles or taking anti-altitude sickness medications like Rhodiola. Moderate activity and a relaxed mindset often help us adapt to the high-altitude environment better than any medication. When you finally stand at the top of the Five-Color Pond, the scene before you might not be as stunning as you imagined, but remember, beauty often lies in the details and the journey. The beauty of the Five-Color Pond is not only in its colorful waters but also in its surroundings and every scenic spot along the way. Therefore, I strongly recommend taking the cable car up the mountain, not only to save energy but also to overlook this magical land from a broader perspective in the air. On the way down, consider walking slowly and observing carefully. Along the way, you will discover more unnoticed beauty: lush forests, babbling streams, distant misty peaks... Each spot is a carefully arranged scene by nature, waiting for your discovery and appreciation. At Huanglong Five-Color Pond, time seems to slow down, allowing people enough patience to savor the tranquility and beauty from above the clouds. Whether walking alone or with family and friends, this place will become an unforgettable celestial wonderland in your heart.

Blue Ice Creamy Top, a paradise on earth! Huanglong in winter is too beautiful

Many people advised against visiting Huanglong in winter before I came. I took a trip to Jiuzhaigou and made a detour to see it. Honestly, climbing the mountain is really tiring! But I think the scenery is quite worth it. Probably because the weather was particularly good, or maybe because there were very few people in the scenic area. The crystal-clear colorful pools, the world's rare high-altitude cold water calc-sinter landscape, like a giant dragon with shimmering scales, lying quietly under the main peak of Minshan, Xuebaoding. Taking photos is really too beautiful!

If you usually like to hike and are in good physical condition, you don't need to buy a cable car ticket at all; because after getting off the cable car, you still have to walk a long way, which is very unreasonable in design. - 🕙Entrance Time It is recommended to enter the scenic area before 10 am, you can reach the colorful pools by 12:30 pm, just when the midday sun is shining directly, and this is when the colorful pools look the best. - 🏔️Winter Recommended Spots The good parts are in the first 2 kilometers and the last part near the colorful pools, the middle part is relatively dull. 🔸Welcome Pool - Washing Body Cave The several large-scale calcified pools at the entrance, the water does not freeze in winter, and it is very beautiful when it is sunny.

In winter, most of the colorful pools are covered with a thin layer of ice, and the yellow, green, and blue water shines brightly among the broken ice. The sunlight shows different colors from different angles, plus the blessing of white snow, the colors are dreamy. - ⚠️Transportation ✈️Plane Huanglong Airport, then take a bus for 1H. 🚗Self-driving 7H from Chengdu. 🚌Bus Take a direct bus from Jiuzhaigou for 2H. 🚄High-speed train Zhenjiangguan Station, then take a bus for 1 hour and 50 minutes. - 📝Notes 1️⃣The round trip in the scenic area is 7KM, and the round trip on foot takes at least 4 hours. Elderly and children should not consider climbing the mountain, and should act according to their abilities. If you still want to see it, you can take the cableway up and then walk down slowly. 2️⃣For hiking, wear soft-soled sports shoes, you don't need to wear too thick clothes on sunny days, but you need to be windproof, as it will be very tiring and easy to sweat when climbing. 3️⃣In the off-season, except for the entrance of the scenic area, there is no food for sale inside, so be sure to prepare dry food in advance.
