A trip to Sichuan - Part 3
本帖最后由 ceciliachiu 于 2013-3-28 22:21 编辑After Xiling Xue Shan, we went to Huang Long. We were lucky that weather that day was marvellous and we were able to see the brilliant colours in the calcific ponds.
The Huang Long airport was just re-opened after the earthquakes. At 3474m above sea level, it is the third highest in China and the second highest airport I have travelled to.

The weather was so good that we did not take the cable car but walked to the top. That was certainly a good decision as we could see the change in colours in the ponds as the day light changed.

The water is so crystal clear that details of the calcified branches and objects at the bottom of the ponds are clearly visible.

Almost everything tourists get on the mountains are carried by porters. Life is tough.
