Located in Songpan County, northwest Sichuan, Huanglong Scenic and Historic Interest Area is famed for its ‘Lake of Immortals on earth’ due to its extraordinary natural scenery of travertine formations, snow-covered peaks, glaciers, virgin forest, springs and waterfalls. The scenic area includes Huanglong Valley and Muni Valley. In this video, you will enjoy the Multi-colored Pond located at the highest point of the Huanglong Valley and the beauty of the Golden Calcified Shoals. Under the sunlight, you will see a shimmering golden hue to water flowing over the shoals. The golden calcified shoals resemble a dragon’s golden scales. Hence, the valley was called Huanglong Valley (Yellow Dragon Valley).
