After breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel and depart from Chengdu East Station to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Station. The first stop is Huanglong Scenic and Historic Interest Area, which is is well known for the"four wonders"of colorful ponds, snow mountains, alpine gorges and forests. It has well preserved tectonic zones, glacial remains, and river source topography.
First we will arrive at Huanglong Valley, which is famous for its world-class travertine lake terraces. It is named Huanglong because it resembles a yellow dragon perched under Xuebao Peak (5,588 meters)
The most amazing attraction is the Colorful Pools at an altitude of 3,556 meters, with 693 colorful pools that look like emerald jewels. In addition, Huanglong Valley is also a paradise for giant pandas and golden monkeys.
Next you will take a cable car to the top of the mountain and then walk through the valley, which is expected to take about 3 hours. After finishing your trip in Huanglong, you will be transferred to Jiuzhaigou Valley, where we will stay for the night.
Tips:
1. Due to the high altitude of Huanglong, please pay attention to the prevention of plateau reaction and bring enough warm clothes.
2. Please note that the Huanglong Ropeway is suspended in winter.
3. Food are limited in the valley, so please bring some food or snacks with you, or choose to have lunch after leaving the area.
