H2 themed hotel

Hello, old irons! Welcome to Ant Probe, I'm Hong @ Ant Fish Head! Remember the slogan "Where there is a road, there is Toyota"? Yes, today we will drive this so-called "legendary hard-core off-road vehicle-Toyota Prado". How amazing is the off-road performance? Is it as difficult as the legend? Let's wait and see, and have a good talk!

The starting point of the series of special topics about "Finding Mountain Road" in Ant Probe is based on driving various SUV models into the mountain to test the performance of SUV models in the face of various complex road conditions. I always believe that it is impossible to experience the performance of SUV models in just a few kilometers of road test drive in 4S shop; Meanwhile. Friends who buy SUV models are ready to go outdoors; Therefore, the cross-country test drive is completed by the ant probe! Guizhou is a mountainous province with unique terrain and complicated road conditions, and many hills are very suitable for self-driving cross-country. In this period of ant's "Mountain Search", we will drive Toyota Prado to find the highest peak in Guizhou-the roof of Guizhou-and start a self-driving cross-country trip!

The route to road trip has a relatively long front, which is a route, both to road trip and hiking. The whole journey is about 760 kilometers and can be divided into two days. Day 1: Guiyang-Liupanshui-Xiaojiucaiping (to be developed); Navigate to "Navigation Liupanshui Xiao Jiu Caiping", the destination is the tourist service center of Xiao Jiu Caiping, and there is a special parking lot (the charge in peak season is unknown). Friends who like hiking can stop and hike up the mountain along the plank road to reach the highest camping spot. Friends who don't hike can continue to drive up for about 5 kilometers to enjoy the natural scenery halfway up the mountain; The next day: stay in Liupanshui or Hezhang County-Hezhang County-Dajiu Caiping, and navigate "Dajiu Caiping (pure scenic spot)" the next day; The best tourist season is July-September; See the bottom of the building for more detailed strategies. ......

The reason why Jiucaiping was chosen for "Mountain Pursuit" in this issue is because Jiucaiping is the highest peak in Guizhou. Since it is a "mountain pursuit", we must find a relatively high hill. I believe that many people, like me, have never been to many places in the city where they live; This route, which is also my first visit, aims to explore the road. Jiucaiping is relatively high above sea level. This altitude problem can't be compared with western Sichuan and Tibet, but only in Guizhou.

The model of this trip is 20 19 "Toyota Prado" 7-seat beggar version; Equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, the maximum horsepower is 280PS and the maximum torque peak is 365n·M；; ; Non-load-bearing body, front double wishbone independent suspension, rear four-bar independent suspension, five-door seven-seat model; I believe that after seeing these data, you can feel the uniqueness of this car! When I got this car, I didn't consider too many road conditions, because "Toyota Prado" is a legendary off-road model. I believe that many old car owners have been well verified, and the nickname given will not be a false name;

There is only one purpose this time, to verify the off-road performance of Prado and whether Toyota Prado is the legendary magic. Driving comfort, driving power and off-road performance are all my concerns! More car reviews, talk about it on the road!

Starting from Guiyang, Hongfeng Lake is the only way to Liupanshui. Hongfenghu Bridge is a beautiful bridge around Guiyang. Although the deck is not high and the span is not long, its shape is beautiful enough!

Take the Huang Gui Expressway entrance to the expressway and directly navigate "Liupanshui Xiaojiucaiping" for about 3.5 hours; It is best to solve the lunch problem in Liupanshui city, because there is no place to eat along the way, and there are also restaurants with stalls; About 40 kilometers from Liupanshui Shuicheng, you can reach Xiaojiaucai Pingshan Village. This county road has a big bend. It was the off-season when I went. There are few vehicles on the road, so driving is relatively easy!

More than 40 kilometers of county roads, about 1 hour to the Xiaojiucaiping Tourist Service Center; Although Xiaojiucaiping is labeled as a scenic spot, it is actually an open scenic spot. There is no charge at present, and related facilities are still under construction.

In Guizhou, the mountainous areas with higher altitude have a feature that there are few trees, rugged rocks and overgrown weeds, which are not much different from those in western Sichuan. The only difference is that rocky desertification is not as serious as that in western Sichuan, and the turf coverage rate is much denser than that in western Sichuan. This building complex is a tourist service center with a special parking lot for tourists. Due to the off-season, the reception center is only manned and temporarily closed;

Along the mountain road in front of the visitor center, you can reach one-fifth of the top of the mountain. According to the street sign, this road can always be opened to Hezhang County; The roads are paved. Although the road up the mountain is very curved, there are many roads that have been climbing, but it doesn't matter. Paved roads with climbing can test Prado's climbing ability on normal roads.

Prado is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, with a maximum horsepower of 280PS and a maximum torque peak of 365n·M；; ; The data is really good-looking, and the actual experience is slightly inferior; Although it is equipped with a 3.5-liter engine, the weight of the whole vehicle has reached 2285KG. Together with a car with four people and materials and equipment, the weight of the car has increased by at least 250 kg+. 3.5 liter displacement climbing feels a little hard, and the power output of continuous climbing is slow; However, as long as you are willing to give oil, the speed will increase to 3500+. This is also a common phenomenon that the speed of naturally aspirated engine is weak in the early stage;

When we continue to climb and look for the road surface that can test Prado's off-road performance; Due to rising altitude, the weather in April; In fact, it snows heavily; In the eyes of us southerners, snow is as exciting as money; Fortunately, we finally found an abandoned mountain road.

The front face of Toyota Prado is a classic straight waterfall chrome grille, which is exquisite and atmospheric. The tearful headlights on both sides make the front of the car more stretched. The grooved hood strengthens the hood hardness and plays a good guiding role in the driving process; When the waves come out, you can ask your sister paper to stand on your hood without worrying about subsidence or deformation; As far as I know, the air intake grille on the front face of the imported Prado is horizontal. Is it correct?

There is nothing special about Prado's sideways, and the sense of lines is not obvious; The side is round and full, with a sense of muscle, showing a domineering and tough guy atmosphere; Prado has a length, width and height of 4840mm *1885mm *1890mm, and the wheelbase of 2790mm makes the whole exterior look very tough and full of guys. However, most of the dimensions of the car body are reserved for the front of the car, which makes you feel more secure during driving;

20 19 Toyota Prado adopts hidden door handle and side-pull tailgate; The door handle is hidden on the left side of the license plate frame, and friends who are used to opening the tailgate in the center will be very unaccustomed; Toyota Prado 7-seat version of the trunk space has been sacrificed, the two can only choose one. If you want a trunk, you have to put down the third row and keep the third row, so there is no trunk.

After the third row is put down at a ratio of 5: 5, the trunk space is enough to put a car's luggage and outdoor equipment; After the second row is laid down at 5: 5, you will get a huge interior space, but unfortunately, there will be a drop of 2-3 cm in the laid-down seats. On rainy days, two people can sleep in the car completely, which is very suitable for long-distance self-driving travel.

The double-row three-dimensional taillights at the rear of the car body highlight the outline of the car body, so that the rear of the car body no longer looks mediocre; Compared with other versions, there is a tire shape behind the tail, which feels a little less off-road temperament! As most owners of Prado, driving relies on hard technology, and the left, middle and right rearview mirrors completely solve the problem of reversing. What reversing images and radar are not needed at all! There is no beggar's edition!

When I came out to shoot the four bridges and three mountains, it rained all the time, and this time it turned into snow because of the high altitude;

I don't want to mention my status as "Guizhou Rain God"; It always rains at the destination, and it will clear up when you come back. This must be a spell. When can it be lifted?

After all, it's already April, the snow is just a flash in the pan, and the weather begins to clear up in an instant; The wind on the mountain is very strong and cold; In April, be sure to wear a thick coat to keep out the cold; Friends who want to go to this line, regardless of season, prepare more clothes;

We continue to look for off-road places along the mountain road, which is the hinterland of Caiping, Xiao Jiu; Xiaojiucaiping, located in Shuicheng County, Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province, is more than 250 kilometers away from Guiyang, the provincial capital, and takes about 3.5 hours by car. Xiaojiucaiping is a very classic self-driving route and a classic outdoor hiking route in Guizhou. It takes about 25 kilometers to walk from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain!

The highest altitude of Xiaojiucaiping is 2900 meters; Located in Dawan Town, Liupanshui. It is the highest peak in Guizhou and is known as the "roof of Guizhou". It consists of five parts: Luobu Stone Forest, Hongxing Village, a minority village, wind power generation and tiankeng. It integrates alpine grassland, stone forest caves and Yi customs, and is very suitable for leisure and holiday tourism with the theme of "climbing the roof of Guizhou, experiencing plateau scenery and tasting Yi culture".

The fog gradually dispersed, and the distant peaks gradually revealed her true colors; In the distance, the mountains are continuous, undulating like waves, and the peaks are overlapping;

The road is coming, full of twists and turns, like a dragon going out to sea, magnificent! The mountains are filled with vague fog, which is better than a fairyland. Standing in a very high place, under a sky where all other mountains look small. The mentality arises spontaneously;

The man-made plank road in the Mid-Levels was only built in the last two years. Tourists and friends on foot can climb up along the plank road and enjoy the distant scenery!

We searched around the mountain road for suitable camping sites and surveyed the route in advance for the next camping trip.

There is an observation deck on the hill in the distance. Although concise, it adds some beauty to the desolation of this mountain and forms a beautiful landscape!

Crossing the hill in front along the road, the mountain gradually becomes flat; In a valley surrounded by u-shaped mountains; A large grassland was found on the left side of the road; There is not much difference between the road surface and the lawn. Compared with the ground clearance of Toyota Pula 2 15, the car can easily drive into the lawn.

We are still a little worried about driving out of the lawn because it has just rained; After all, the soft ground is covered with thick turf, and it is easy for vehicles to slip in place when driving on it;

In order to prevent this from happening, we started the part-time 4wd system of Toyota Prado before entering the lawn. Prado has three different driving modes; High-speed two-wheel drive (H2), high-speed four-wheel drive (H4) and low-speed four-wheel drive (L4) modes; Just turn the mode switch knob to switch the driving mode;

This is an excellent campsite, surrounded by mountains on three sides, which can effectively avoid the harassment of strong winds on the mountains; The ground is flat and the lawn is dense, so you can easily set up tents, lay nails and sleep on the soft lawn; The front view is wide, and you can see endless mountains when you open the tent; Unfortunately, there is no water source around, so you need to prepare enough domestic water and drinking water yourself.

Toyota Prado is equipped with a tire size of 265/60 R 18, which makes the ground clearance and posture of the car body relatively high, and the field of vision is wide, thus laying a relatively stable car body;

As mentioned above, Toyota Prado is a legendary hard-core off-road vehicle, which can live up to the word "hard-core off-road" and must have a unique suspension system to support this statement;

Toyota Prado, non-loaded body structure, front two-fork independent suspension and rear four-bar independent suspension, makes the stability and vibration of the body very comfortable and pleasant when passing through bullet holes, speed bumps, cross shafts and other road conditions, and completely feels the vibration and shaking of the body! I think this is the most advantageous and commendable place of Toyota Prado;

At the same time, the whole system adopts part-time 4wd system, which can switch different driving modes according to the change of terrain; Let you enjoy the driving pleasure of outdoor deep cross-country and let you go further on outdoor mountain roads;

For a model that pays great attention to off-road performance, Toyota Prado does not have much performance in the interior, which is relatively low-key; The whole car is equipped with black interior, without too much high-tech decoration, simple but not simple;

Simple dashboard, no fancy sense of technology, although it feels a bit outdated, but it is not lacking in practicality, and the driving data is clear at a glance!

The steering wheel is made of exquisite leather, with clear direction, no hollow hair and clear road feeling; ; Hold it tightly for a long time without sweating your palms;

As can be seen from the configuration of the steering wheel, this is a beggar's version of Prado; The steering wheel is integrated with Bluetooth voice phone and multimedia control system.

Equipped with fixed speed cruise above! The price of low edition is much less, and the expansion space is much bigger! Constant speed cruise, reversing image and reversing radar are omitted, but they can be installed later;

The 8-inch LCD screen in the center console is the most connotative and high-tech configuration in the whole interior. It is atmospheric in workmanship, sensitive to touch, and integrated with car navigation, multimedia system, mobile phone Bluetooth link and so on. At the same time, it is equipped with CD, USB, AUX and other interfaces, and 9 high school woofers are enough for you to enjoy the passion of off-road with the rhythm on off-road roads!

The strong texture of the companion pole adds a sense of control experience; Although it is an automatic transmission model, it has a certain height of gear lever to give you a sense of control when driving!

After finding the camping place, we are going to camp for the night; Just took out my backpack and prepared for camping, it began to rain again, and the rain mixed with high-altitude wind hit my face, which was chilly; After discussion, the teammates decided to observe for half an hour to see if the weather would improve. As a result, they waited for half an hour, but there was still no sign of improvement. Finally, everyone decided to go back to Shuicheng County for accommodation and go directly to Dajiuping from Shuicheng County the next day.

Navigation is sometimes more deceptive. When you turn on the navigation, it will take you a shorter way, but it won't give you a hint about the road condition. According to the navigation tips, we lowered some heights along the mountain road and came to a rotten road. There is a lot of water on the road that has just rained.

Although this kind of pavement is not afraid of challenges for Toyota Prado, getting some mud on the body is what an off-road vehicle should look like. Anyway, you can wash the car again when you come out tomorrow, and build it hard! Toyota Prado is facing such a small pit, and the suspension system is the time to give play to its advantages!

It was getting late when we went down the mountain to Liupanshui city. On the recommendation of friends, we specially went to eat the best mutton hot pot in Liupanshui! Everyone is already on the road and hungry;

Mutton hotpot is not expensive. Four people order a medium-sized pot with enough weight, just enough to eat, and there is not much left; Four people can eat less than 300 yuan, which is delicious, and with the unique Chili soup in Guizhou, it suits the taste of Guizhou people! I don't know if friends from other places dare to try! After dinner, I casually found a hotel to rest, charged all kinds of electronic equipment, and prepared to go to Dajiu Caiping the next day!

The next day, it took about two hours to drive from Liupanshui to Bijie Hezhang, and the whole county road was not far, but it was slow and took a long time. When you see this artificially dug cave, it means that you will soon reach the fork of Dajiu Caiping. There are obvious dark area signs on the roadside, so you can drive along the signs!

Dajiu Caiping is also called Asiri Xijiu Caiping; Asiri Xi is the language translation of Yi compatriots. This name looks very foreign and feels similar to Hoh Xil. Guizhou people basically call it Jiucaiping or Dajiuping directly.

Personally, I don't have much interest in scenic spots; However, there is a saying about travel called "come here", which is always convincing when it comes from others. Here we are. Let's go and have a look!

Dajiu Caiping is already a relatively mature scenic spot; Equipped with a thousand car parking lot, sightseeing bus, ropeway, restaurant, accommodation, etc. Standard scenic spot configuration;

The scenic spot is equipped with entertainment facilities suitable for small basin friends to play; Grass skiing, trampoline barbecue and other facilities; However, unfortunately, private cars can't be driven;

As for the accommodation area in the scenic spot, for me personally, Cai Ping in Dajiu is only suitable for a one-day tour, and there is not much accommodation value except for watching leeks in the peak season. If it is a holiday, it is also appropriate to stay for a few days;

Panshan road is winding and rugged, no less than the style of 72 turns; It is definitely a very good venue to practice drifting on such a road surface!

As it is at a special time, the scenic spot is free of tickets; The ropeway is out of service, only sightseeing bus is available, and the round-trip fare to 50 yuan is fairly cheap!

Due to the off-season, some facilities are under maintenance; Sightseeing bus can only walk two-thirds of the way, the rest of the way to the top of the mountain!

When we went to the scenic spot, it was the off-season, and the number of tourists might be less than 20. The flowering period of Dajiu Caiping is from July to September, when there will be many people. Although I didn't see the sea of flowers, I also lost the trouble of looking at people's heads! In order to better protect the flower belt, a plank road was built artificially to let you enjoy the flower sea better;

We went to Xiaojiucaiping yesterday, and the area of leeks is not as big as Dajieucaiping. Dajiu Caiping is more ornamental, but friends who like hiking are much more free to go to Xiao Jiu Caiping!

Jiucaiping is divided into two peaks, namely "Dajiucaiping" and "Xiaojiucaiping". Dajiucaiping is located in Zhu Shi Yi Township, south of Hezhang County, Bijie City, adjacent to Ertang Town and Dawan Town of Weining County, Liupanshui City, and adjacent to Xiaojiucaiping, which has been developed into a scenic spot.

You can see in the distance that the green lawn is actually lush leek seedlings; You may be curious about "leek". What kind of leek has created a scenic spot and attracted countless people; Yes, this leek is the leek you have eaten on weekdays;

The leeks in Jiucaiping are pure wild, not artificially planted; There is nothing special about leek bunsen burner. What is extraordinary is that it has a scale of 10,000 mu! It is the largest wild leek flower belt in the world and the only wild leek flower reserve in China.

(Image from the Internet) I missed the flowering period because I didn't arrive in the season. Let's take a look at some photos of Bala's flowering period online!

(Image from the Internet)

(Image from the Internet) Every year from July to September, the top of the mountain is covered with tens of thousands of acres of lush wild leeks. On the top of the mountain, under the blue sky, there are purple spherical leeks everywhere, which is the ocean of flowers, so it is also called "the sea of flowers on the clouds";

Although it is off-season, it is clearly known that it is not flowering, but there are still many tourists coming here; Maybe not for flowering, just for companionship!

Jiucaiping usually has almost no one going up at around 4 pm, because of the high altitude, and the wind is very strong in the morning and evening. Even in summer, it will feel cool! Of course, it is also good to keep the sunset glow at such a high height!

After two days of driving experience, Toyota Prado draws an obvious comparative conclusion: although the displacement is large, the body is heavy, climbing is very painful, and the high-speed rear section is very powerful; Willing to give oil can have a strong sense of quantity! Four-wheel drive system, chassis adjustment and suspension system are the absolute advantages of Toyota Prado, with absolutely reliable off-road capability; The interior is simple and needs many improvements; Regarding fuel consumption, I believe that the riders who buy Prado will not discuss fuel consumption with you at all! I can afford hundreds of thousands of cars, will I buy a few dollars a liter of oil?

The go on road trip line is very long in front, which is a corruption [typo? ] and hiking route, the whole journey is about 760 kilometers, which can be divided into two days; Day 1: Guiyang-Liupanshui-Xiaojiucaiping (to be developed); Navigate to "Navigation Liupanshui Xiao Jiu Caiping", the destination is the tourist service center of Xiao Jiu Caiping, and there is a special parking lot (charge in peak season, details are unknown). Friends who like hiking can stop and hike up the mountain along the plank road to reach the highest camping spot; Friends who don't hike can continue to drive up for about 5 kilometers to enjoy the natural scenery halfway up the mountain; The next day: stay in Liupanshui or Hezhang County-Hezhang County-Dajiu Caiping, and navigate "Dajiu Caiping (pure scenic spot)" the next day; The best tourist season is July-September; Preparation 1. Shooting equipment: SONYa7R2 FE3.5-6.3/24-240 GOPRO6, cloud and SLR stabilizer, tripod, DJI mini aerial camera; 1. Personal belongings: outdoor backpack, four-season windbreak tent, -30-degree down sleeping bag, thickened winter air cushion, thickened winter coat, cotton jacket, cotton trousers, ankle protection platform hiking shoes; Travel tips: 1. The temperature at the top of the mountain is low and windy, which is about 20 degrees different from the temperature at the foot of the mountain. No matter what season, take warm clothes and pay attention to keep warm. 2. Climbing leek ping must bring enough drinking water and high-protein and high-calorie food. Pay attention to environmental protection when camping on foot, and take your garbage back to the mountains for disposal. 3. The best viewing time of Jiucaiping is from July to September. Want to see flowers, want to get up early, shooting sea of clouds and leeks is definitely a big movie!
