Practical Tips for Couples’ Immortal Journeys 1. Travel Off-Peak: Avoid holidays at Laodaowan and Chaji Ancient Village. Songpan’s peak season is summer (July-August); May-June or September-October are better for fewer crowds and beautiful scenery. 2. Outfit Suggestions: Wear light-colored traditional-style clothing or cotton-linen dresses paired with cloth or flat shoes for easy walking and great photos; bring windproof warm jackets for Songpan, and oil-paper umbrellas for Laodaowan and Chaji to enhance the immortal atmosphere. 3. Save on Tickets: Buy tickets online one day in advance for Laodaowan and Chaji Ancient Village to save 15%-20% compared to on-site prices; some Songpan attractions (like Songpan Ancient Town) are free, and combo tickets for Flower Lake and Riganqiao Wetland Grassland offer better value. These hidden immortal destinations have no noisy crowds, only breathtaking landscapes and a strong romantic atmosphere. Set off with your loved one, make promises amid swirling mist, leave memories in ancient villages and grasslands, and let this journey become your most precious "immortal romance"!
