Scenery

Huanglonggou is backed by Xuebaoding, the main peak of Minshan Mountain that is covered with snow all year round, and faces the clear source of Fujiang River. At the foot of Jade Peak at the top of the valley, mountain snow water and karst water flowing out of the surface blend and flow. With the slow flow rate, undulating terrain, and obstacles of dead branches and rocks, the calcium carbonate rich in the water began to condense, and solid travertine ridges developed, causing the flowing water to accumulate into a large group of colorful pools connected in layers, painting the wonders of the Yellow Dragon. The first natural picture. During the deposition process of calcium carbonate, it forms heterogeneous travertines with various organic and inorganic substances, as well as various changes in light exposure, resulting in the pool water having the same origin but different colors. People call it a "five-color pool".

The colorful pool could not hold so many beautiful colors in the painting, so the water flowed all the way, forming another majestic spectacle on the 2.5-kilometer-long ridge slope - the golden sand pavement . It turns out that where the mountains and rivers overflow, there are layers of milky yellow scaly travertine along the slope. Under the sun and accompanied by turbulent water waves, the entire valley sparkles with golden light, looking like a huge yellow dragon soaring down from the snow-capped mountains. The scaly ridges on the "dragon's waist and back" are like its pieces of "dragon armor". This is why Huanglonggou got its name.

The pools are as large as one or two acres, and as small as a few square meters. They are like hooves, palms, water chestnuts, and lotus, and they are in various shapes. Huge water flows along the valley, pours into the Tihu colorful pool, falls layer by layer, passes through the forest, crosses the embankment, and rolls onto the beach. The first group of pools entering the ditch is hidden in a lush dense forest. Through the green branches and leaves, more than 20 colorful pools are staggered, with sparkling waves, falling layer by layer, and the sound of water. Some pools have ridges. It is low, the pool is overflowing, the bank of the pool is white, the water is blue, and it is colorful under the sunlight. Some lakes are covered with ancient trees and vines, like eagles spreading their wings, like tigers descending from the mountain, which are lifelike and vivid; some lakes are filled with pine, cypress and other trees, which are either above the water or submerged in the water. They are graceful, charming and similar in shape. "Bonsai in water".

The colorful pools are of different sizes and shapes. Some pools reflect various colors, which are colorful and dazzling; the water on the shallows is surging, and the sunlight is shining, making the waves sparkling and crystal clear; underwater It is paved with a thin layer of light yellow moss, and when you step into the beach stream, you feel soft and cool. At this moment, you feel like you have entered the wonderland of Yao Chi.

The palaces and pavilions faced each other and the incense was strong. Later, most of the first two temples collapsed, leaving the Guanyin Hall in the middle temple and the back temple at the top of the valley basically intact. The rear temple is now a Taoist temple, and the real statue of Huanglong is enshrined in the temple. Up to now, during the traditional temple fair of Huanglong Temple in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Tibetan, Qiang, Hui and Han people from hundreds of miles around gather here to pay incense and pay homage to the mountains, pray in the temple, have fun, enjoy the scenery, sing and dance.
