Rome was not built in a day. From the first calcium molecule to crystal pool, where heaven and earth can be accommodated, Huanglong has been tempered by years. Similarly, the Red Army Brigade watched by Huanglong in those days also achieved a shocking migration step by step. Honing and honing have added some admirable sincerity to this natural landscape of Songpan in northern Sichuan.

Fairy tales and legends
Huanglong legend
The origin of Huanglong's name is actually related to Dayu's water control. According to "Songpan County Records", "Yu controlled water to Maozhou, and Huanglong helped Yu to divert water by boat. From Maozhou, there is a snail river ... After Huanglong became immortal, it left colorful scenery on earth. The temple is built in the world, and there are years old. "
Behind the exquisite scenery, fairy tales are usually supported. It was difficult for the ancients to understand the beautiful "Yaochi on Earth" in Zhong Ling. Therefore, a colorful pool shaped like a dragon forest is used, and a convincing story is attached, so it is named Huanglong.
Legend of Huanglong ancient temple
There is no doubt that the Huanglong ancient temple next to the colorful pool at the end of Huanglong ditch is the best way to connect the natural heritage with the sage like style. The ancient temple was built for the pilgrimage of horses and horses in the Ming Dynasty, also known as the Snow Mountain Temple. According to legend, Huanglong real people raised Taoism here, hence the name.

Huanglong Ancient Temple has three temples, the front, the middle and the back, facing each other, each five miles apart. "The former temple is now the only remaining site. There are five main halls in the middle hall, Guanyin Hall and ten arhats. In the main hall, there is a statue of Huanglong dressed in a black robe and serene. Some people even assert that the reason why Huanglong has the wonder of travertine is because the real Huanglong people ground soybean milk the day before the appearance of immortality, and the soybean milk overflowed the mountain and accumulated over the years.

Geographically speaking, Huanglong Ancient Temple is a treasure trove of geomantic omen, a towering snow tripod and a colorful pool of pearls and jade. The couplet in front of the temple is "jade towering into the sky, pine all the way to meet the snow;" Jinsha paved the ground, and a thousand layers of clear water walked along Huanglong "is the most poetic description of natural heritage." "
Standing in front of the temple, you can have a bird's eye view of the whole Huanglong Valley, and the curtain of Bai Cui in Songcang has been lifted. Groups of delicate and unique travertine ponds with bright water quality shine with the magnificent light of Longlin. In the distance, the graceful Xuebaoding, the main peak of Minshan Mountain, is like the Pearl of Longkou. When the golden sunshine makes the finishing touch to the colorful pool of the faucet, the 3.6-kilometer-long dragon body seems to jump at any time and the dragon flies in the sky. ...
As for the word "travertine", tourists often misunderstand it as "calcification". Travertine or travertine in English refers to calcium carbonate deposits formed by lakes, rivers or springs. Travertine waterfalls are widely distributed all over the world, such as the terraced and wavy travertine ponds in Huanglong, and only Baishuitai in Yunnan and bread buns in Turkey have similarities. In terms of scale, Huanglong has more than 3,400 color pools, which is unparalleled.
With the blessing of the legendary dragon, the beauty of Huanglong is more vigorous. If Jiuzhaigou, the neighbor, is better than waterfalls and unspeakable water, then the beauty of Huanglong is mostly attributed to travertine. That is the milk of the earth, which continuously shapes the scenery under your feet-in other words, Jiuzhai is a freehand brushwork, and Huanglong is a fine brushwork of fine print.
