Helpfulness
You can take the bus to Songpan at Chengdu Chadianzi bus station everyday in the morning. It takes about 8 hours and the cost is about 50 RMB. Things are always changing in China so ask your hotel/hostile for help and schedules. Many of the busses and tours to Jiuzhaigou will also have a short stop in Songpan so you can take a picture of Princess WenCheng.
The busses in the picture are backed up because a truck hit a rock overhang on the highway. It was only about 1/2 additional wait.
Please rate this and my other tips when you find then interesting, useful, or like the photos.
