Emma’s Kitchen

Sichuan


Songpan’s main traveller hang-out is this laid-back cafe with wi-fi and fresh coffee, pizza and other western fare, along with a range of Chinese and Tibetan dishes. It's a good place to meet other travellers. Emma is exceedingly knowledgable and can sort out almost anything from laundry to tickets and picnic lunches for your horse trek.

It's run by the same people as Emma's Guesthouse.
