Tips

culture
The most famous referent today is the Huanglong Scenic Area (黄龙风景名胜区) in northern Sichuan, a UNESCO World Heritage site whose travertine terraces, viewed from above, look like a yellow dragon winding down the mountain. The phrase 直捣黄龙 'strike straight at Huanglong' (Yue Fei's vow to take the Jin capital) gives the name a martial-historical resonance.
