22 August: Recovering

Rich and Fi headed to the unreal Huanglong Park for the day while I spent the day in Songpan recovering. After holding down a bit of food I went exploring the little village. I missed out on the main spectacle of the day though when I was shown the pictures of Huanglong Park.

Apparently, it was unbelievable with lakes of 17 different colours.

It’s on top of a mountain up at 4000 metres and you can buy oxygen masks if it gets too tough to breath. Most of the (chain-smoking) Chinese were carting a couple of them around.

Back in Songpan I was admiring how well the locals keep their picturesque little town. Even the bins are themed!
