Huanglong Valley, Nature reserve and tourist attraction in Songpan County, China

The valley extends over 7.5 kilometers with numerous travertine pools, creating a natural staircase pattern filled with mineral-rich turquoise waters.

The geological formations in Huanglong Valley developed through mineral deposits over thousands of years, resulting in terraced pools and limestone structures.

The valley holds significance in Tibetan Buddhism, with several temples integrated into the mountainous landscape at elevations exceeding 3,500 meters.

The site features a cable car system that transports visitors to higher elevations, making the colorful pools and geological formations more accessible.

The Five-color Pool section contains 693 individual ponds at 3,576 meters elevation, forming the highest group of outdoor travertine pools worldwide.
