A day trip from Chengdu to Songpan, a fairyland of snow.

🎀 "Songpan, a fairyland so beautiful it takes my breath away!" 🎀 Because it had just snowed, the entire forest and lake were covered in snow. ❄️ There were very few tourists, and as I walked along the road to Erdao Lake, the world was silent, and I felt like I was the only person in the world. 👀 Only the occasional bird call reminded me that this was not a fairyland... 😱 🚄 Here's the itinerary ⬇️ 11:11 Depart from Chengdu East, 13:03 Arrive at Songpan Station. After leaving the station, take the green bus 🚌, CNY 40/person. The driver will take you to two scenic spots in Munigou and wait for you the whole time! 1️⃣ Zhaga Waterfall The first scenic spot is the waterfall, but it is now the dry season, so the scenery is average. 😕 The driver gave us 1 hour to visit, so we just took a look and returned to the car, heading straight to the next scenic spot! 2️⃣ Erdao Lake This is the highlight!!! There are many beautiful lakes in the forest. 😤 Although there is not much water in the lake now, the snow scenery is really unique. ❄️ There are many lakes of different sizes along the way, such as Emerald Lake, Lianli Lake, Toudao Lake, and Erdao Lake. You must walk to the last Erdao Lake! It is the largest, with the greenest and bluest water and the most beautiful scenery! It can only be described as stunning!!! Many people didn't make it to the end and missed the whole world. 😭 The whole mountain road is ethereal and quiet, and you can completely relax and cleanse your mind. It is so stress-relieving and healing... 3️⃣ Return to Songpan Ancient City On the return trip, the driver will take everyone back to the ancient city, where you can choose a highly rated beef hot pot restaurant. CNY 200 for a large pot of yak meat, with so many vegetables that they overflow. Eating a steaming hot pot in the snow is a blissful experience. 🥰 🚄 Songpan Station 21:20 - 22:55 After leisurely eating and wandering around the ancient city until 8:30, you can take a taxi to the high-speed rail station and go home. There is plenty of time. 😁 Overall, Songpan is just perfect... There are not many tourists, the planning is perfect, the transportation is convenient, the official bus route is very reasonable, and all the locals and drivers are very enthusiastic and simple. There are no sellers who rip you off, and the scenic area explicitly prohibits the sale of goods. All goods are basically the same price, and you can see that the government has done a good job of planning, just to present a better appearance to tourists. 👏 If you are tired of Jiuzhaigou and Western Sichuan, you must visit Songpan!! It is the best experience in the entire northwest of Sichuan!!! 😎
