(Paradise on Earth)

Located in Songpan County of Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Aba in Sichuan Province, Yellow Dragon Scenic Area covers 700 square kilometers of land. Its main sights of interest are grouped in the 3.6 kilometer-long Yellow Dragon Ravine which is covered with layers of sedimentary travertine carbonate like terraced fields, resembling a huge yellow dragon. Other sceneries include snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, virgin forest and canyons. Apart from its unique karst landform, Yellow Dragon Scenic Area is also known for its rich resources of flora and fauna.

From the bottom of Yellow Dragon Ravine (2,000 meters above sea level) to the mountain top (3,800 meters above sea level ) exist in sequence subtropical evergreen trees mingled with deciduous broadleaf trees, conniferous and broadleaf mingled forests, coniferous orohylile, and coryphile. Sauntering among these forests are a dozen rare animal species including Giant Panda and Golden Monkey. The karst landform complimented by rare flora and fauna resources presents a heavenly scene. And the majestic, precipitous, grotesque and primeval sceneries win Yellow Dragon Scenic Area many titles including "the world's marvelous scenery" and "immortals' abode on earth".
