Huanglong Scenic Area

Huanglong in February is a hidden gem in the world of ice and snow. ✨ The snow-covered Five-Color Pond looks like a blue-green gem embedded in a world of silver. Although it was so cold that my fingers almost fell off (feeding the animals), seeing this pure scenery and cute creatures made it all worth it! Let's get to the point. 📌 **Practical Tips**: The photos were taken on February 12, with a temperature of around -5°C and light snow. This is for reference only, please evaluate for yourself. 1. **Cost Description**: This recommendation does not consider the cost of scenic area tickets, cable cars, and sightseeing buses. 2. **Route Suggestions**: It is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain and buy sightseeing bus tickets in advance on the "Aba Tourism" mini program (limited to 5,000 per day). After getting off the bus, walk to the Five-Color Pond, then walk down the mountain to the scenic area exit. The whole journey takes about 5 hours. Most of the attractions on the downhill route are covered with snow, and there are very few people. It is highly recommended for those who like immersive hiking. 📸 **Photography Suggestions**: 1. The Five-Color Pond is the best photo spot. The blue-green pond water and white snow form a strong contrast, making it easy to take great photos! 2. For snow scene portraits, it is recommended to wear bright-colored clothes. Blue, red, or yellow are all great for photos. 🐦 **Special Tips**: Remember to bring some snacks (birds prefer oatmeal and bread, squirrels like sunflower seeds, see pictures 15 and 16). The birds and squirrels here are very friendly! They will quietly approach you, waiting for you to feed them. They are like cute Easter eggs in the world of ice and snow! 📍 **Travel Insights**: In winter, Huanglong is not crowded like in peak season. There are only tranquil snow scenes and occasional wind sounds. If you also like this "lonely beauty," then Huanglong in February will not disappoint you.
