The two-hour drive takes you to Huanglong Scenic Area, about 60km east of Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport. After lunch, visit Huanglong Scenic Area. Huanlong in Chinese means "Yellow Dragon", is nestled at the foot of the Jade Peak of Xuebaoding, the main peak of Minshan Mountain Rang. The valley is 7.5 km long (in depth) and 2.5 km wide with an average altitude of 3550 meters. The valley has a dense distribution of thousands of travertine colour-ponds, travertine flow streams.

There are three ways of visiting the Huanglong Valley:

1. Walk 5km on the boardwalks up to the upmost tip - Five-colour Lake and then walk 5km down the boardwalks to the entrance.

2. First take the 5-8 minute cable car up to the platform called "Wanlong Ping", from which you walk 2km on the boardwalks to Five-color Lake. Then walk 5km down the boardwalks to the entrance.
