In 1976, there was a big earthquake in Songpan, so I remember the place. At that time I was only one year old and sleeping outside, which is what my parents told me. Although my home is about 1000 KM away from Songpan, the shock wave was still strong.

Bussed through Songpan in 2004 on my way to Jiuzhaigou which is at much lower altitudes in the valleys. Flew into Songpan some years later, overnighted before exploring regions north and west and suffered alpine sickness for several days. Just loved the history, shopping food and folk and lifestyle. Thanks for sharing your experience

Does the new high speed train reach Songpan yet? I heard its supposed to go all the way up Jiuzhaigou
@thecubbages
@thecubbages 7 месяцев назад
China just finished the high speed train from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou. It does not go directly to either Jiuzhaigou or Songpan but it comes about 1-2 hours away and definitely makes travel shorter and more affordable.

Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Mongolia, and also Southeast Asia like Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, especially Singapore cities, road, street are clean and not bad, Southeast Asia not perfect except Singapore. Indonesia not all part Sumatra like Riau, Jambi, Kepulauan Riau, Kalimantan and Bali, but in Java not much. India, Bangladesh and Pakistan(some place are clean) not good about hygiene and cleanliness, You go to Thailand, especially in 'Buddhist Wat(Temple) and City Pillar Shrine like Bangkok city Pillar shrine, Buriram city pillar shrine, Surat Thani city Pillar Shrine and Nakhon Si Thammarat city pillar shrine etc are very clean with garden and plant, in Malaysia and Singapore street, mall and road also clean. Japan much better, even fish and aquatic plant can live in small river, sewer and water drainage, very clean and fresh look water. India i saw many road and street full of plastic waste, garbage, litter and sometimes poop and smell urine.
