Founded over 1700 years ago during the hen, Huanglongxi is an ancient Silk Road trade settlement located on the banks of the Huanglong River in Chengdu. The town was originally known as Huanglong, named after the yellow dragon who once guarded the stream which snakes through its cobbled alleyways.

Originally known as Wangcun, this 2,000-year-old village began as a sleepy Tujia ethnic settlement, a place of modest traditions and ancestral spirit worship. The village sits dramatically on a cliff above the You River, with traditional stilted houses overlooking the Furong Waterfall, a 60-meter drop that dominates both the landscape and local legends.
