1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Springs of God, Huanglong Scenic and Historic Interest Area.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
The altitude can reach around 3,000 meters here.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
This local farmer's family has been in this area,

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
close to the beautiful Huanglong, or Yellow Dragon,

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
for many generations.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
The mountains are the Min Shao mountain range,

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000
with an altitude of around 5,000 meters.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
The dragon is lying along the gully.

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
This dragon has many scales.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Each scale has different colors and pile up like rice terraces.

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Locals have always believed that this is where God lives.

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Dragon scales were created by over 10,000 years of deposit

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
from the calcite-rich water running from the mountains.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Calcite banks are being created here.

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Fallen leaves and small branches are being solidified

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
with the calcite deposit from the water.

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Over time, calcite banks are created

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
and become a part of dragon scales.

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
These seemingly all-finished banks are growing

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,000
at a rate of 2 to 3 millimeters a year.

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
These ponds are known as five-colored ponds.

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Although they are all connected,

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:32,000
they are in different colors, green, yellow and blue.

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
This pond is partially white,

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
and there is even a black pond.

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
The whole family joins celebrations

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
on the Huanglong God Festival Day.

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
This is Huanglong Temple at the foot of five-colored ponds.

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
A Taoist temple, it was built 400 years ago

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
and enshrines Huanglong God.

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
The king of Huanglong is enshrined

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
at the center of the temple.

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
The king has humanized the god of Huanglong,

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000
which has been worshipped in the region for a long time.

35
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Water in Huanglong Cave, located just below the temple,

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
helps many different kinds of sickness,

37
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
from eye disease to heart disease.

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
It is seen as a blessing.

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
After the celebration, there are songs

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
as the water runs from Huanglong pools.
