Destinations at a Glance
Huanglong Scenic & Historic Interest Area — A high-altitude valley of calcite terraces and vivid mineral pools stretching through dense forest at elevations between 2,800–4,070 m. Often described as “a jade dragon lying on earth,” Huanglong is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Man and Biosphere Reserve.
Jiuzhaigou National Park — Spread across three valley branches in a Y-shape configuration, Jiuzhaigou shelters over 100 alpine lakes, dozens of multi-tiered waterfalls, and rich Tibetan cultural heritage. Its startlingly clear, colour-shifting water is the park’s defining wonder. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.
Minjiang Source National Wetland Park — Located in Shuijing Township, Songpan County, this pristine wetland park protects the headwaters of the Min River from Gonggang Ridge (4,300 m a.s.l.) eastward. Layers of ecological significance intersect with Long March cultural history, making it an extraordinary final chapter to this highland journey.
