We spent a lovely evening in Songpan and visited the Anicent Town in the morning. You will see the local people selling local goods such as mushrooms and wheat. It is a nice thing to do. If you stay over night in Songpan then definitely visit this little anicent town it's worth it.

Ajimu Guest House, Songpan.
We went to see Huanglong National Park and on the way back stayed an evening in this guest house. The staff are really friendly, especially one of the owners called Mike. The guest house has a lovely interior with a nice garden and the river running next to it. A nice selection of cold beers available and great Chinese tea. Rooms are a nice size with good showers. The wooden look around the guest house is lovely.

Natural Baths of UNESCO National Park
Getting There - Jiuzhaigou Airport, bus from Chengdu
Attractions - Huanglong Scenic Area, Songpan Ancient Town
Hotels - Ajimu Guest House
This National Park is famous for its colorful lakes, snow-topped mountains, beautiful valleys and virgin forests. We spent the whole afternoon there and I would recommend to spend at least 5-6hrs in here. We took a cable car all the way up to the mountain and then walked down to the exit. There are places to buy water and snacks on the way, but the options are limited and a little pricy, so it's a good idea to bring some snacks with you. We also refilled water bottles with water from the pools, it's really refreshing!
What a wonderful place!

Must see Natural Beauty Huanglong, north of Chengdu.
📍Huanglong Scenic area, 2 hour south of Jiuzhaigou natural park and 30 minute drive north of Songpan on the G213. plenty of tour agencies send tours from Chengdu.
I had heard I could visit either park as they are similar, this is NOT true, each park has It's own beauty and they re totally different. Huanglong's calcium terraces are breath taking🏞, the different tones of blue, green and turquoise make this hike one to cupture both in your memory and your camera📸. If you have ever visited Pamukale in Turkey, Huanglong bears the beauty of the making of the natural wonder.
🏔We first climb the mountain via the cable car, although you can walk up.
🎟250 RMB including one way cable car. Discounts for children and over 60s
🚶the total hike is just over 4km. Do take it slow, the park reaches altitude of 3800m above sea level. at the beginning there is a bit of a climb using stairs, until you reach the temple and then 200m more to the Five colour pond (Wucai), then its all down the mountain from there ↘️
🌅If visiting early in the morning, do take a light jacket as in summer temp can start at 5-7C and reach 20-25C at midday.
🏯🏘 Just before you turn off the G213 into Huanglong there is a beautiful village full of picturesque houses, culture and history.
🚗If you have the chance to drive down route 213 all the way to Chengdu, you will be rewarded with so many opportunities to learn about cultures and take beautiful pictures in villages like Songpan, Mao and Wenchuan, DO NOT rush this route it is stunning 🤩🛣
