Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its rare beauty and geological wonder, Huanglong is a landscape of dazzling travertine pools and deep ecological significance. The Pools of Huanglong uses these pools as a narrative thread, exploring how natural forces and human devotion intertwine. We meet researchers like Professor Dai Qunwei, who samples calcium formations during the summer melt, and local photographer Jiang Yuebin, who has spent a decade capturing Huanglong’s seasonal changes. It’s a story of science, memory, and love—for a place that belongs to both nature and people.
