Focus Tour ¡¡ Huanglong (Yellow Dragon) located in the virgin forests of the northwest tableland of Sichuan province, This scenic spot is known as "the heavenly scenery on earth",. The clear snow-broth flowing down from the high, far snowy mountain forms clear, shallow and sparkling pools with a tier upon tier. The pools surrounded by dark green forests set off snow-white ice peaks and reflect a riot of colour all over the place. It is such surpassing beautiful landscapes that visitors seemed to have entered a dream-state and a fairyland. Huanglong Scenic Spot and Jiuzhaigou Scenic Spot are extremely fascinating bright pearls on the northwest highland. Hailuogou is located on the east slope of Gonga Mountain," King of Mountains in Sichuan", which is 7556 meters high above sea level and has more than seventy glaciers, stands proudly high in the sky. Hailuogou is the largest and most magnificent one of the glaciers. Scientific discoveries show that Hailuogou Glacier has a history of 1600 years. The total length of the glacier is 15 kilometers. It is made up of Snow Basin, Glacier Tongue and Ice Waterfall. The Glacier Tongue extends into the primeval forest for six kilometers and forms a series of wonderful scenic spots. The front of the glacier Tongue is only 2850 meters high above level. It is the lowest modern glacier in the world with an ideal climate, which is available to tourists of ordinary physical strength. The Three Gorges on the Yangtze River
Siguliangshan (Four Maiden Mountain)
The scenery of the Four Maiden Mountain are fascinating, primitive and peaceful. Mountain peaks here are precipitous; forests are verdant and dense; grassy marsh lands are like green cushions; streams wing through the valleys; together with glittering glaciers, flying waterfalls, lake wrapping in clouds, rare fowls and strange animals, adding radiance and beauty to each other and creating three brilliant painted corridors. The people of Tibetan, Qiang, Hui and Han nationalities live here in harmony. The Jiarong Cultural Relics, moving legends, grand sacrifices and celebrations, melodious folk songs, vigorous and lively Guozhuang dances, stone houses, warmhearted people, appetizing highland barley wine and buttered tea together form a painting of strong local conditions and customs. >>>> Back to Home¡¡ |
Originating in the
Qinghai Highland, the 6,300-kilometer long Changjiang (Yangtze) River, the
longest in China and one of the longest in the world, sweeps from west to
east through eight provinces and one municipality. When it reaches the
eastern Sichuan Basin in southwest China it cuts through the Wushan
Mountains bordering Sichuan and Hubei provinces. Here the river course
suddenly narrows and the waters become turbulent. Sheer cliffs and steep
mountains rise on either side, creating one of nature's most fantastic
sights, the Three Changjiang River Gorges-the Qutang, the Wuxia and the
Xiling, which extend from Fengjie in the west to Yichang in the east, a
total of 193 kilometers.
The Four Maiden
Mountain, with a total area of 450 sq. km, is situated in Xiaojin County,
Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, 220 km from Chengdu. The main peak with
majestic view is 6250 meters above sea level. The scenic area is made up
of three scenic spots.
