What's fascinating about Songpan? The answer is: Huanglong.
Huanglong: chinese odyssey, a jade pool on earth.
Huanglong, a "jade pond on earth" composed of 3,400 travertine ponds, is like a golden "dragon" rushing out of the vast forest. Water, ponds, mountains and forests together constitute a beautiful and fantastic landscape painting, which attracts people to appreciate and explore.
From 65438 to 0992, Huanglong was listed in the World Heritage List because it met the selection criteria of "areas with wonderful natural phenomena or rare natural beauty".
The World Heritage Committee commented that Huanglong is famous for its colorful ponds, beaches, waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, forests, canyons and ancient temples. Huanglong's travertine terraces and lakes are the most in China and unparalleled in the world, and it is one of the three major travertine terraced landscape models in the world.
Travertine: the soul of Huanglong
The random combination of travertine, biology and light endows Huanglong with unpredictable colors. Travertine is the soul of Huanglong's beautiful scenery.
Caichi, the highest lime huachi group in Huanglong, is 3576 meters above sea level. It consists of 693 lime ponds of different sizes and shapes and is regarded as the "eyes" of Huanglong.
It is hard to believe that the bright and moving look in the "eyes" actually comes from a small pond not far from the colorful pool-Huanhuachi.
Flower ponds provide carbon and calcium sources necessary for the formation of travertine. After the formation of travertine ponds, they also provide water sources, which can be described as the source of life for countless travertine ponds.
Where did the treasure come from?
Huanglong is always a mysterious treasure in the eyes of the world.
Tracing back to the source of this treasure, we have to start from 400 million years ago. At that time, the Minshan Mountains where Huanglong was located were still buried under a piece of Wang Yang. In Triassic, it experienced an evolutionary process from transgression to regression.
Since the end of Neogene, the collision between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate has caused the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to rise sharply, and a series of glacial U-shaped valleys, terminal moraines and lateral moraines have been formed by glacial activities.
Xuebaoding, the main peak of Minshan Mountain, is the result of crustal uplift and weathering sculpture during this period. It continuously provides the water of life for Huanglong, creating this amazing masterpiece.
Botanists' paradise
Huanglong's unique biodiversity has attracted many foreign experts to set foot on this land. For botanists, Huanglong is their paradise.
The large-scale Cyperaceae here attracted the German Michelle researcher Haug. Panay.

Today, his wife Gan still takes root in Huanglong and continues her husband's work. In her view, this is a sign of love for her husband and the highest respect for him.
The place where giant pandas "take care of"
In Huanglong's 55,900 hectares of vast mountains and rivers, countless rare animals and plants thrive in the paradise of nature, forming a rich and diverse forest ecosystem.
Besides the large Cyperaceae, there are always surprises here.
