Travel notes of Songpinggou (taken by mobile phone)

It was twilight, so we left the hotel and took a taxi to Chengdu Chadianzi bus station, ready to go to Diexi Songpinggou, which is known as Little Jiuzhaigou.

Diexi Songpinggou Tourist Scenic Area is located in Songpinggou Township, Diexi Town, the Qiang Cultural Center in Maoxian County (the largest Qiang settlement in Sichuan). It is one of the most intact earthquake-damaged sites in the world, and it is also a famous red leaf viewing place in China, which is known as "Three Gullies, Nine Seas and Fourteen Scenes".

Arrive at Chadianzi bus station and buy a ticket. Look, it's still a while before we leave. I bought breakfast quickly.

The bus traveled 170 kilometers and arrived at Maoxian bus station near 10 in the morning. If you want to transfer to Songpinggou Scenic Area, the early bus has already left, only the afternoon bus. In order to catch up with the time, the four decided to charter a car after discussion.

Negotiate the fare with the driver of a seven-person van and drive us to Songpinggou Scenic Area.

The driver is a 40-year-old local, who talks endlessly about the "Wenchuan Earthquake" that shocked China and foreign countries in 2008. Maoxian county is also the hardest hit area.

The car is driving on the road and you can see beautiful scenery from both sides of the window. Many disasters left by the "great earthquake" seven years ago are still clearly visible.

Unconsciously, more than 60 kilometers arrived in an instant. Buying tickets at the foot of the mountain, the car took us to the entrance of Songpinggou scenic spot halfway up the mountain. After paying the fare of 150 yuan, the driver left his mobile phone number and repeatedly told us to call him after the play and then pick us up.

I was going to have a good lunch in the ditch. At that time, I quickly found a roadside restaurant. The proprietress of the hotel warmly received us, introduced us to the general situation of the scenic spot, and told us that Songpinggou scenic spot with an area of 160 square kilometers could not be visited in an afternoon. In the evening, she can stay in a hotel halfway up the mountain and continue to visit the "ditch" tomorrow. Tickets can also be bought. Now we have settled the accommodation and meals with the proprietress, and agreed to wait for us at the gate of the scenic spot at night.

The accommodation and dinner in the evening were implemented, and the worries were solved. The four of us set out confidently into Diexi-Songpinggou.

Walking into the scenic spot is like walking into a long landscape gallery.

Along the way, there are written warnings of "beware of falling rocks" from time to time.

After we entered the scenic spot, we only saw a few tourists walking into the ditch one after another.

April is still a dry season, and there is only a small amount of water in colorful pools. I believe it will be beautiful after the dry season.

There was just a section of road to be paved along the way, so we decided to take the path to climb up. This road is difficult and dangerous, and our physical strength is very abundant. Fortunately, we persisted.

The four characters of the scenic spot "Rock Park" are carved on a boulder and stand on the side of the road. 1The earthquake of magnitude 7.5 on August 25th, 933 caused the nearby Diexi ancient city to move 40-60m to the south and sink 280-300m, and all the nearby 2/kloc-0 villages were destroyed. The peaks around the ancient city burst and blocked the Minjiang River, forming a strange landscape with high gorge, steep peaks and rugged rocks in Pinghu. Stones in the park flew down from the mountain during the Diexi earthquake and piled up at the foot of the mountain. They were everywhere, one under the other. Every shape of them is like a face, one after another, lying down, lying down, tired, holding and sleeping. It seems to describe what happened here to future generations. It is said that a few months after the Diexi earthquake, there was still a cock crowing to announce the dawn. I don't know where those cocks are now! The four of us took a walk in the "Rock Park" (the only way to Changhai, with few other tourists). Except for the singing of birds, there was silence around the wilderness, and we felt that time stood still in an instant.

Changhai is the highest scenic spot in Songpinggou Scenic Area, with an altitude of 2,900 meters. Haizi in the long sea is very calm, with fresh air and pleasant scenery. Further on is the alpine meadow. The road to the alpine meadow is very narrow, and the sign does not indicate how many kilometers are left. As it was getting late, we gave up our trip, enjoyed the surrounding scenery, took some photos as a souvenir and went back the same way.

When we walked out of Songpinggou Scenic Area with an unfinished "tour" heart, it was already 6: 40 pm. The proprietress and her son and daughter waited for us at the hotel, locked the store door and got on a van parked in front of the store. In a few minutes, her son drove to a ravine and saw a row of zigzag houses. This is a 20-room hotel owned by the proprietress. According to the boss's wife, the rooms are full in the peak season, and it costs several hundred yuan to stay for one night. The facilities in the room were also configured according to the "standard room" where we arranged accommodation (just the four of us), and pointed out the direction to her home and told us to arrive in an hour. The proprietress hurried home to prepare meals for us.

Take a bath and have a rest. The moon has been hanging high in the sky, bringing a little light to the dark night, dragging the shadow that obliquely shines on us, stepping on a mountain road with a little high bottom, and we walked towards the boss's house, nearly 10 minutes away.

Five dishes and one soup have been set on the stage in the room. The proprietress and her son, daughter and daughter's boyfriend sat around the iron stove and chatted. The iron furnace is nearly 2 meters long, and the circular iron pipe at the end of the furnace passes through the wall at 90 degrees. There are burning wood blocks on the stove mouth, and the flames are licking the iron plate happily, and the bread on it gives off bursts of fragrance. After listening to the introduction, I realized that this iron stove mainly plays the role of bacon. Following the boss's suggestion, I looked up and saw that the roof was covered with smoked pork. (Bacon is a local specialty) The "five dishes" are basically mountain ingredients, including a pot of bacon. After a hearty meal (also hungry), we rubbed our stomachs and walked back to our residence.

Sleeping in bed, listening to the occasional cries of unknown animals in the distance, in order to have better physical strength to continue playing tomorrow, I soon fell asleep with a whole body of fatigue.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, when a ray of sunshine rose, we got up and walked out of the room, enjoying the unique fresh air in the mountains in the deserted space surrounded by mountains.

After breakfast, the four of us paid 180 for accommodation and meals, and the boss's car took us to the scenic spot.

Walking on the plank road leading to the Upper Baila Sea, under the sunshine, I only saw trees and mountains reflected on the water, and the water color was unpredictable, which made people crazy today.

At Bailafei Waterfall, I saw the water flowing fast, and the water mist came against my face, fresh and cool.

Bailafei waterfall falls on a stone, and the falling water is like a song, listening to the sound of water, echoing between heaven and earth like a song of high mountains and flowing water.

Because Songpinggou has not been known by many people, it may be off-season or a relatively unknown small scenic spot, so it is quiet and few people. But the beautiful scenery of Songpinggou left a good impression on me, which made people linger.

Before Songpinggou finished, we called the van driver who was supposed to pick us up. When we walked out of the gate of the scenic spot, the van was already waiting at the gate of the scenic spot. The van drove us to Wenchuan County according to the itinerary.
