Huanglong: Huanglong, which means Yellow Dragon Mountain, is twinned with Yellowstone National Park in the USA and praised for its colorful limestone ponds. Huanglong Scenic Area lies in the south part of Min Shan in Songpan County. Situated in the northwest of Sichuan Province and 128km south of Jiuzhaigou, the Huanglong Valley is edged by snow-capped peaks and glaciers. An incredible bio-diversity of flora and fauna thrives here alongside spectacular limestone formations, waterfalls and hot springs. The area also has a population of endangered animals, including the giant panda and the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey. 

Jiuzhaigou: Sprinkled with an incredible palette of natural colors, Sichuan's UNESCO listed nature reserves are home to rare animals and plants as well as the Baima Tibetan minority.

Jiuzhaigou's patchwork of shimmering lakes was discovered when scientists trailing some pandas, observing their habitat and migratory patterns, followed the pandas into this scenic wonderland. Scientists believe the lakes were formed because of the calcium carbonate in the flowing water when the earth was between ice ages. When the global climate warmed up, the calcium carbonate became active and attached itself to obstacles in the water, forming the milky white, lunar shapes in Jiuzhaigou's lake water. The scenery in the area leaves most breathless as the sheer beauty of the lakes and the vibrancy of the colors defy explanation.
