Standing at 5,588 meters, Xuebaoding, is the peak of the Minshan Mountain Ridge. It is covered by snow all year round, It is often shrouded in mist, while water from melted snow and karst emerging from below the earth flow together in the Huanglong Valley. The calcium in the water concentrates to form solid travertine dikes.
Located in the Huanglong Valley, the Huanglong Monastery was the first Taoist building in northwest Sichuan Province. It was first built during the reign of the Ming Emperor Hongwu. It is now a religious place for the local Tibetan, Han, Qiang and Hui people, although they each have different religious beliefs. The annual Huanglong Monastery Fair attracts large numbers of people.

The county capital of Songpan is in the center of this area. Until recently Songpan had the largest fair on the borders of Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai. The ancient city of Songpan was first built in 1378. It took 60 years to complete. Although the city was ravaged by war, we can still feel its magnificence from the remaining thick walls and tall gates.

Not far from the Huanglong Monastery is the Huanglong Cave. The cave contains different kinds of stalactites and stalagmites. It is the largest travertine cave in China, as well as being a natural ice cave with the longest frozen period of all China ice caves. Colored water climbs over the dyke, leaving an impressive travertine waterfall. Under the sun, the calcium water flows slowly.
