Mounigou Scenic Area

Our first stop on this trip to Songpan, Sichuan, was the Munigou Scenic Area—a vibrant mix of waterfalls, mountains, forests, and shimmering lakes, showcasing the purest natural charm of western Sichuan! If you're a waterfall enthusiast like me, Munigou is definitely worth a visit: the first few waterfalls are breathtaking, with silvery water cascading against the rocks. The scenery is ten times more beautiful than in photos. On clear days, the verdant mountains surrounding the water create a truly hidden ink painting! If you want to avoid crowds but still connect with nature, this itinerary is perfect.
