Blue ice cream topping, a paradise on earth! The winter scenery of Huanglong is too beautiful!

Before coming, I saw many people dissuading a winter visit to Huanglong I took a trip to Jiuzhaigou and took a detour to see it Honestly, climbing the mountain is really tiring! But I think the scenery is quite worth it Probably because the weather was particularly good Or maybe because there were very few people in the scenic area The crystal clear colorful pools The world's rare high-altitude cold water calc-sinter landscape Like a giant dragon with shimmering scales Lies quietly under the main peak of Minshan, Xuebaoding Taking photos is really beautiful! Friends planning to travel during the Spring Festival, check out this guide 🎫Ticket From November 16 to March 31 of the following year Off-season tickets are buy one get one free, 40 yuan/person 🚠Cable car 80 yuan/person for the ascent, 40 yuan/person for the descent If you usually like to hike and are in good physical condition, there is no need to buy a cable car ticket; because after getting off the cable car, there is still a long way to walk, and the design is very unreasonable 🕙Entrance time It is recommended to enter the scenic area before 10 am, and you can reach the colorful pools by 12:30 pm, just when the midday sun is shining directly, and this is when the colorful pools look the best 🏔️Winter recommended attractions The good-looking parts are in the first 2 kilometers and the last colorful pools, the middle section is relatively dull 🔸Welcome Pool - Body Cleansing Cave The several large-scale calcified pools at the entrance, the water does not freeze in winter, and it is very beautiful when it is sunny, the calcified pools in the middle section are basically frozen and have no water 🔸Pengtai Waterfall In winter, the spring water freezes to form ice waterfalls, which is quite spectacular 🔸Colorful Pools Located halfway up the mountain in the scenic area, at an altitude of 3576 meters, it is the largest group of calcified pools in Huanglong, and it is very spectacular when viewed from above against the backdrop of Xuebaoding In winter, most of the colorful pools are covered with thin ice, and the yellow, green, and blue waters shine brightly among the broken ice, presenting different colors from different angles in the sunlight, and with the addition of white snow, the colors are dreamy ⚠️Transportation ✈️Plane Huanglong Airport, then take a bus for 1H 🚗Self-driving 7H from Chengdu 🚌Bus 2H direct bus from Jiuzhaigou 🚄High-speed rail Zhenjiangguan Station, then take a bus for 1 hour and 50 minutes 📝Notes 1️⃣The round trip in the scenic area is 7KM, and it takes at least 4 hours to walk back and forth. Elderly and children should not consider climbing the mountain, and do so according to their ability. If you still want to see it, you can take the cableway up and then walk down slowly 2️⃣For hiking, wear soft-soled sports shoes, you don't need to wear too thick clothes on sunny days, but you need to be windproof, as it will be tiring and easy to sweat when climbing 3️⃣During the off-season, there is no food for sale inside the scenic area except at the entrance, so be sure to prepare dry food in advance
