Breakfast
After breakfast, you will embark on a journey to 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.
