Huanglong or the Yellow Dragon Temple Scenic Area, is situated in the Yellow Dragon Village north of Songpan County after being built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Originally the building consisted of three temples, the front temple, the middle temple and the rear temple. But only the rear temple still stands. the scenic area is 7.5 kilometers long by one kilometer wide. Its unique, fantastic and charming natural sceneries are known at home and abroad. This soft green slope is 3,000 meters above the sea level and is covered with climbing figs, luxuriant forests and thousands of lakes with colourful and dazzling waters. A 4,645-meter-long, 1.2-meter-wide plank road runs from the entrance of the gully to the back of the temple. At the gully entrance, Fujiang River gushes from the Danyun Gorge like a galloping horse, forming a multitude of waterfalls.
