Like Nature’s Mood Board

#springitinerary Huanglong National Park in spring is straight-up gorgeous. The colorful pools are still doing their turquoise thing, and with the snow starting to melt, there’s this cool mix of icy vibes and fresh spring greens. It’s like Mother Nature couldn’t decide between winter and spring, so she just went with both. The air is super fresh, and if you catch it on a clear day, the mountain views are next level. The boardwalk makes it an easy walk, though altitude can hit a bit, take it slow and bring snacks or oxygen if you’re not used to high places. Bonus: way fewer tourists than summer, so it feels peaceful, almost like you’ve got the whole park to yourself. The combo of epic landscapes, those dreamy colored pools, and the quiet spring vibe? Totally worth the trip. Just charge your phone, you’ll want all the photos.
