Introduction

The plateau wetland in China is well-known for its four magnificent landscapes of colorful pools, snow-capped mountains, canyons, and forests. The calcified pools are a highlight of the scenic area, with water changing colors according to different angles of natural scenery and sunlight, earning it the nickname "heavenly pool on earth." The Huanglong Scenic Area mainly features surface calcification landscapes, with unique structures, rich colors, and large scale, making it a highly regarded karst landform both domestically and internationally. The best time to visit the Huanglong Scenic Area is during the summer and autumn seasons, when the lake water is high and the scenery is particularly beautiful.

Transportation
Shuttle bus: 1. Jiuhuang Airport: There are shuttle buses from Jiuhuang Airport to Huanglong Scenic Area and Jiuzhaigou. The bus will stop at Huanglong Scenic Area for about 4 hours for tourists to visit. The shuttle bus is privately operated and does not have a fixed departure time, but will depart when it is full (sometimes with a long wait). In the evening, the shuttle bus will stop based on the passenger flow. The shuttle bus may also stop operating in the off-season when there are fewer passengers. 2. Songpan County and Chuanzhusi Town: There are daily shuttle buses passing through Huanglong to Songpan (to Mianyang, Jiangyou, and Pingwu directions, it is necessary to confirm in advance whether you can get off at Huanglong). The above shuttle buses also pass through Chuanzhusi, where passengers can board. However, sometimes the bus is full and unable to take on passengers or the schedule is not set, so it is not very convenient. 3. Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong: There are two shuttle buses daily. There are no shuttle buses to Munigou mentioned above.
