    "A passing ancient city, the direction is the east of the Xiangyang Gate. It is said that the ancient city has seven gates. From the outside, the city wall is thick and well preserved. There are also repairs in the back. It is said that there is also a Lijiang River flowing through the city. This is still an important station for tea and horse exchange. And it is also a military fortress in northwest Sichuan, and it has been found that it is a must-pass place since we walked. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. It seems that many of the better preserved monuments are either built or maintained in the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that there are still many contributions in the Ming Dynasty."

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.

    "Title: Hennigou, a fairyland-like tourism treasure After playing in Hennigou, I am full of shock and joy, and I must give it a big praise! As soon as I entered Hennigou, Zhaga Waterfall came into view. It poured down from high places, the water flowed like a galaxy for nine days, the huge roar seemed to be a magnificent movement of nature. The waterfall shone silver under the sun, like smoke and mist, and the splashing water brought a coolness and refreshingness when it approached. The vegetation around the waterfall is lush, like a green lace to the waterfall, adding a little vitality and vitality. Then came to Erdaohai, which was like a dreamy fairy tale world. Lakes are like pearls embedded in the earth, the lake is clear to the bottom, you can clearly see the water grass and fish at the bottom of the lake. The color of the lake changes with the light, sometimes deep blue, sometimes green, as if it is a color palette that nature has overturned. Walk along the plank road, surrounded by alpine meadows, and ancient pine towering sky, the air is filled with fresh grass and wood aroma. The four seasons of Hennigou have their own autumns. In spring, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, and the flowers all over the mountains are in harmony with the green trees. In summer, the climate is cool, it is a great place to escape the heat; in autumn, the forest is dyed, golden and red interweaving into a beautiful picture; in winter, the silver is wrapped in vegetarian, the waterfall becomes an ice waterfall, the lake freezes like a mirror, and there is no flavor. The service facilities here are also perfect, the staff is warm and friendly, providing many conveniences for tourists. And the environmental protection in the scenic area is very good"
