Huanglong is about 340km from the city of Chengdu and is hailed as the “Celestial Garden on Earth”.
The fame of Huanglong stems to a large extent from its unique travertine and limestone landform.
At the foot of the snow-clad Xuebaoding Mountain lies a gully 400m deep that was brought into being by ancient glaciers. Large quantities of calcium carbonate was dissolved by melting snow water and seeped through the earth's surface to form a huge travertine deposit 3.6 kilometres long and 30-170 metres wide. The deposit is studded with 3,400 or so pools and many caves, and streaked by many waterfalls and a 2.5 km long stream looking like a yellow dragon all ready and poised for take off.
