We then flew to Jiuzhai airport from Chengdu and went through a rough 3 hours bus ride to reach the scenic valley of HuangLong. The road is still being renovated on the whole of its length after its destruction during the 2008 earthquake.
HuangLong is a lightly forested valley through which a river flows, forming cupping pools of water in terrace due to the particular limestone / karst soil. Wooden paths stretching over 3.6km have been built on the side of the river as to reach viewpoint without affecting the site. The top of the valley is at an altitude of 3'700m. HuangLong has been a Unesco world nature heritage site since 1992.
