The famous terraced hot springs lie within a dense forest inhabited by rare creatures, like the giant panda and golden snub-nosed monkeys; it’s not hard to see why this has been named ‘Fairy Land on Earth.’ Not unlike Pamukkale (or cotton castle) in Turkey, these naturally created limestone hot spring pools cascade spectacularly down the Minshan Mountains. Other worldly in their appearance, Huanglong Valley has to be seen to be believed.
