Near Songpan, one finds Huanglong park ('yellow dragon'), a sort of twin geographical attraction with Jiuzhaigou. Its main feature are travertines. Think Yellowstone or Pammukele in Turkey. Calcite deposits combine with bacteria and algae to create characteristic blue/green ponds. cable car is the only way up into this scenic mountain wonderland.
