🚙Transportation: 🚌Bus/Scenic Express/Self-drive to Huanglong Scenic Area, Aba Prefecture 🎟️Tickets: CNY 60 (off-season, Dec 16 to May 31) 🕒Opening hours: 8:00–18:00 🤩Tour plan: Visitor Center > Yingbin Pool > Feipu Liuhui > Liantai Waterfall > Xishen Cave > Jinsha Pudi > Bonsai Pool > Mingjing Daoying Pool > Suoluo Yingcai Pool > Jiexian Bridge > Huanglong Middle Temple > Huanglong Ancient Temple > Five-Color Pool (end point, highest elevation) > Jiexian Bridge > Zhengyan Pool > Downhill Path > Visitor Center! 👗Outfit recommendations: It's really cold!! It's very windy at the Five-Color Pool, so pack a down jacket/windbreaker. You can also bring some accessories, such as a cute wool hat or a brightly colored scarf and gloves. ‼️Attention‼️ ✅Wear comfortable, non-slip shoes, as you'll be walking about 20,000 steps a day. ✅The average elevation is above 3,000 m, and the Five-Color Pool is over 3,500 m, so it is recommended to bring an oxygen tank (one tank for two people is enough). ✅Cable car + sightseeing bus uphill (book in advance, 5,000 tickets per day). It is highly recommended to walk downhill, as it's mostly downhill and not too tiring, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. ✅Free luggage storage is available at the Huanglong Visitor Center!
