Returned from Songpan, Chengdu, a non-extreme one-day tour!

Chengdu ➡️ Songpan: 9:39–11:18 Songpan ➡️ Chengdu: 19:29–21:09 Book tickets in advance! Book tickets in advance! We booked late and had to buy an extra stop (if you are brave, you can wait until the last day to book tickets! We saw 11 tickets available on the day) After leaving the station, you can take a small bus, which will take you to the scenic spots for CNY 40 per person, including two scenic spots. The driver will wait for us at the scenic spot, and you can leave your bag on the bus 🚌, which is very convenient. Next, the key points!! Make sure you have enough time for the scenic spots, especially Erdaohai! Leave more time! There is snow ❄️ and sun 🌞, so you will definitely get good photos. We only had two hours, which was not enough. We only climbed to Erdaohai, which was so beautiful that we cried. The locals said it was more beautiful up there, but we didn't have time to go up 😿 We left too much time for Zhaga Waterfall, which actually only takes 1 hour at most. The driver took us up there, so it was not far to walk to the waterfall, and the scenery and photos 📷 were not as good as Erdaohai, so you can leave less time. Finally, the driver will take you back to the ancient city, where you can have a meal and buy some local specialties to take home. The three of us mainly came here to eat. We had Gansu noodles at a popular restaurant, and we arrived just in time when there were not many people. The signature dish was the best 🍝 We also had yak hot pot on the second floor next door, recommended by the noodle shop owner. It was very fresh, and the owner was very honest and did not try to sell us anything. It was delicious 😋 There is also a must-try CNY 1 small meat skewer hot pot downstairs, which is good and tastes like beef 🐮. You can ask the hot pot owner to help you order. (If you are in a hurry, you can do the same as us, as the three restaurants are together) To return to the high-speed rail station, you can take a bus 🚌 before 6 pm, or take a taxi for CNY 20–25 to the high-speed rail station if it is late. As for clothes, it will be cold ❄️ later, so it is recommended to wear more, especially pants with fleece, and light colors are better for photos. 🕶️ Be sure to bring sunglasses, as the snow on the mountain is dazzling 👁️, and you may not be able to open your eyes when taking photos. It was actually quite relaxing for a day, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery even if you are not a special forces soldier 🫡
