Dear Anais,
Thanks for your inquiry!
Since the riding conditions in Songpan are currently poor, we suggest Langmusi horse trek instead—it offers superior trails, scenery, and overall riding experience.I have sent you a detailed itinerary including a 3-day horse riding and the quotation with special discount for students for your reference. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Wishing you a great day!
Warm regards,
Eva
