    "As a Huanglong famous for Jiuzhaigou, it is relatively inferior. The main reason is that the scenic spot is too small, that is, climbing all the way. Of course, the scenery on the top of the mountain is very beautiful, and it is not a long way to climb up."

    "Songpan County, Aba Tibetan and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, was called Songzhou in ancient times, so Songpan Ancient City is also called Songzhou Ancient City. The ancient city has a long history, the ancient city wall and other ancient buildings are well protected, and the ancient city folk customs are simple. After I have been to the ancient city, I want to see it again."

    Highlights: The ancient city of Songpan, known as Songzhou in ancient times, is located in Jin'an Town, Songpan County, northeast of Aba Prefecture. It was built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. An important station of mutual market". The ancient city of Songpan is ancient and quiet. You can walk or take a rickshaw to walk through the ancient buildings, looking for the traces of time left in this ancient city on the plateau, and feeling the thickness and vicissitudes of the ancient city. You can also climb up the ancient city tower and enjoy the magnificent scenery around you. The ancient city of Songpan is divided into inner and outer cities, and there is a gate between the two cities. The city wall has a total length of 6.2 kilometers and a height of 12.5 meters. It is all made of green bricks and is firm and solid. Its thickness reaches 12 meters, which can be called the largest in the country. There are 7 gates in the ancient city, "Jinyang Gate" in the east, "Yanxun Gate" in the south, "Weiyuan Gate" in the west, "Zhenqiang Gate" in the north, and the south gate of the outer city is called "Buqing Gate" (still known today). There is a complete Wengcheng Gate), there is a Xiaoximen at the foot of the southwest mountain, and there is a "Linjiang Gate" near the river in the outer city. There was a double-eaved Xieshan-style tower built on the city gate in the early days, but it is a pity that it has been damaged now. Except for the four remaining city gates, the other city walls were rebuilt in 2004. On the stone wall next to Linjiang Gate, there is also engraved a notice about reducing or exempting harsh taxes in the 16th year of Chonghua (1644). The small bridges and flowing water in the ancient city have a unique landscape. The turbulent Minjiang River passes through the ancient city, from east to west, passes through the ancient city street, turns south, and exits through the city from the south gate. There are two famous bridges on the river, Gusong Bridge and Yingyue Bridge, both of which were damaged in history and rebuilt in 1986. The ancient city of Songpan is also an important memorial site. Two important meetings were held here during the Long March. There is still a Red Army Long March Monument Garden on the top of Yuanbao Mountain in Chuanzhusi Town, Songpan County.
