Watching snow in the summer at the Huanglong Wucai Pool in Sichuan

🎉During the May Day holiday, the Huanglong Scenic Area in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, known as the "Yaochi on Earth", welcomed snowfall🌨️ 🌈Location: Pingsong Road, Seercuozhai, Songpan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province 🚶🏻‍♀️Walking on the plank road and shuttling between the colorful pools of ice and snow🌨️ has a unique charm and is definitely worth the trip! 🗺️Route ✅Upward: Scenic area bus to - upward cableway - sightseeing bus (official arrival tour) - calcified beach - Huanglong Ancient Temple - Five Color Pool (❗Five Color Pool is 3500 meters above sea level) ✅Downward: Wucai Pool - Jiexian Bridge - Zhengyan Pool - Bonsai Pool - Xishen Cave - Yingbin Pool - Scenic Area Exit ✨The cable car goes down for 40 💰, but there are many beautiful pools on the way down, so it is recommended to walk down! ✨Tips 1️⃣Huanglong is over 3000 meters above sea level, so you may experience slight altitude sickness. You can prepare oxygen bottles, grape sugar, and cola to replenish your energy. 2️⃣After seeing the Five Color Pools, there are many more beautiful pools to explore after hiking 🚶🏻‍♀️. There is no need to buy the downward cable car! 3️⃣Don’t walk too fast when going up the mountain. Even if you don’t feel it, your blood oxygen level will be lower than usual! 4️⃣You can fly a drone, and the aerial photos of the colorful calcification pool are very beautiful! 5️⃣In this weather, thick coats 🧥 and windbreakers are still must-haves! 🎫Tickets 140💰 (ticket 60 + upward cableway 80), plus sightseeing bus 20 (the sightseeing bus is in trial operation, only 5,000 tickets per day, grab them early) Transportation 🚏 🚗 It takes about 2 hours to drive from Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong 🛫Fly directly to Huanglong Airport and then charter a car/drive to the scenic spot (Huanglong Airport-Huanglong Scenic Area is 35 kilometers, but it is a plateau airport and direct flights are prone to altitude sickness. It is recommended to go to Jiuzhaigou before going to Huanglong, and there is an adaptation process)
