Planning a trip to Langmu Si

Getting There -- Daily buses connect with Hezuo (173km/107 miles; 3 hr.; ¥28) at 6.30, 7:30am and noon. To the south, a bus connects with Ruo'ergai (91km/56 miles; 2 hr.; ¥20) at 7am. Plans for a daily Songpan bus have yet to materialize; a minibus to Songpan may be arranged through the Overseas Tibetan Hotel in Xia He (¥800 for a six-seat bus).
