I thought Huanglong was a bonus after seeing Jiuzhaigou. When I actually went there, I thought Huanglong was prettier than Jiuzhaigou. Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong have the same beauty centered on water, but the difference is that Jiuzhaigou has a lake landscape, while Huanglong has a terraced landscape. Huanglong’s terraced landscape was formed when water from the snow-covered mountains flowed down for millions or tens of millions of years, mixed with tree branches and sedimented together with limestone, forming a shape like a terraced field. Various minerals, such as calcium, in the water reflect, penetrate, project, and refract the water to show beautiful colors.
