(Seamless high-speed train connection, super convenient~
🚗 The pre-booked private car driver picked us up on time!
Straight to [Muni Valley Scenic Area]
🍜 Lunch at the first small shop on the right side of the square in front of the scenic area
Run by a warm-hearted elderly couple!
Must order: steaming yak soup + barley cake (only about 30 RMB per person)
💦 [Zaga Waterfall]
Ticket: 50 RMB/person
Opening hours: 8:00-18:00
Our 6-year-old little one could walk the entire route by themselves!
Spruce trees over a hundred years old line the plank road 🌲
The creek water is icy cold, a great place to play in summer
🌄 16:30 in the afternoon [Erdao Lake Scenic Area]
Ticket: 60 RMB/person
Opening hours: 8:00-18:00
The kids loved the wooden plank road so much
They could stare at the blue sky for half an hour without getting bored
🏨 Check in at Songpan New Town Hotel
Facilities are super new! About 150 RMB per person
At 7 PM, rode a tricycle to the ancient town
🍖 Checked in at [First Beef] restaurant
Recommended Tibetan-style hotpot! The broth is incredibly fresh
🐎 Day 2: August 26
[Liandaoba Grassland]
Address: Chuanzhusi Town, Songpan County, Aba Prefecture
Horse riding site: Master Liu’s Horse Ranch
Price: 100 RMB/hour (children can ride alone)
The scenery of the Xicheng Railway passing through the grassland is amazing!
Too bad we didn’t see any marmots 😂
16:25 Changed high-speed train ticket to return early
(The kids missed home and were so sensible, it was heartwarming)
💡 Tips:
1. Contact private car in advance, it’s hard to get a taxi at Songpan Station
2. Large temperature difference between morning and night on the plateau, bring a jacket
3. Remember to bargain when horse riding
This spontaneous trip was so healing!
Songpan is truly a treasure place for traveling with kids✨
