Drive Ruifeng S7' s trip to western Sichuan, go to Scissors Bend Mountain and feel the scenery of nature.

On Tuesday, April 2 1 Sunday, the motorcade set off from xinduqiao in the early morning, climbed along National Highway 3 18, crossed the Gaoerzishan Tunnel, and drove along the valley towards Yajiang. The mountain has dense vegetation and beautiful scenery. After Yajiang County, the road basically rises rapidly along the valley. Xinduqiao is less than100km from Jianziwan Mountain, the first mountain pass, but its altitude has risen from 3,300m to more than 4,600m. During the period, the 18 bends of Tianlu, which rose rapidly, were not only dangerous, but also magnificent! Scissors Bend Mountain, belonging to Shaluli Mountain, is located on the west side of Xianggezong Township, Yajiang County, Ganzi, Sichuan, with a northwest-southeast trend. It is the watershed between Yalong River and Zhu Ji ditch, so it is named because it bends like scissors through the post road. Jianziwan Mountain is an important pass of National Highway 3 18. For road trip, it is both a challenge and a pleasure to reach the mountain pass at an altitude of 4,500 meters. The 18th bend of Tianlu may be the first long bend and steep slope encountered by the team in this trip to western Sichuan, which is a test for jiayue X7 with a load of nearly two tons. However, under the torque of 1.5TGDI as high as 25 1, the car conquered the 18th bend of Tianlu more easily! When we came to the observation deck of Yakou, overlooking the road down from the mountain, we couldn't help but marvel. The Chinese characters "Eighteen Bends of Heaven" are impressively embedded in the Panshan Highway, and pieces of white gauze-like clouds float through the air, making the heaven appear and disappear, just like a fairyland. We can't help but sigh the hardships of road builders! The highway used to pass through the Jianziwan mountain pass at an altitude of 4659 meters, which is one of the highest mountain passes in Kangba area where the 3 18 national highway passes. Now, although the tunnel has been built and the road elevation has been lowered, roadside parking and sightseeing is still a panoramic view of Qian Shan, which is refreshing!

High altitude, less sleepy, taking a photo downstairs at dawn, the appearance of domestic cars and foreign brands is still so different!

Breakfast in Tibetan hotels is late, and it's past nine o'clock on the way. We have a good personality, and the rainy days originally predicted have disappeared, replaced by sunny and bright skies!

Fortunately, we know from the road display that the Zheduo Pass that passed yesterday has been closed to snow and the road is closed!

In the past, going to Yajiang needed to cross the Gaoersi mountain ridge with steep slope and sharp bend, but now a tunnel can easily pass!

The beautiful Tibetan village reflects the living standards of the people here!

It was interesting to walk out of the tunnel and enter the valley in the middle ages. In order to reduce the longitudinal slope, the designer skillfully drew four complete circles across the viaduct several times! Refer to the figure below.

Walking into the canyon is picturesque.

I envy you, a beautiful and comfortable hiding place.

Residential buildings on both sides of the national highway.

There are hotels in most towns and villages along 3 18.

Expressway design and construction standards are very high, and driving is comfortable and stable!

Line 3 18 is the most beautiful Tibetan customs line in China!

Thanks to these road maintenance personnel who silently guard the 3 18 line, I salute you!

As soon as I saw the tunnel, a bridge crossed the Yalong River, and the motorcade passed quickly from the edge of Yajiang City!

Let's take some photos taken after Yajiang ten years ago!

A glimpse of the tunnel.

Cross the Yalong River and get on the bridge!

Line 3 18 is expanding in a deep mountain canyon with dense vegetation!

Now the Sichuan-Tibet line is full of cars, and it is often a bit blocked!

Waiting for a blocked companion. These inns on the road are blessed places for hikers and cyclists!

Due to the heavy snow in Zheduo Mountain, large trucks are not allowed to pass, so this section of the road is rarely quiet this morning!

The mountain is getting steeper and steeper!

3 18 line reaches the famous 18 th bend of Tianlu!

On the steep hillside ahead, turn around and turn one corner after another!

Rest in the roadside parking area and watch the scenery.

In front of the eighteen bends observation deck.

The sky is eighteen bends.

The road is constantly being transformed, and the natural barrier of 3 18 in the past has become a thoroughfare!

The linearity is beautiful!

Keep moving.

Sprint towards the scissors bend mountain pass!

Near the top of the mountain, the road leveled off.

Near the ridge, herds of yaks appeared.

I didn't expect the Scissors Bend Mountain Tunnel to be built and operated long ago, so vehicles don't have to cross the mountain pass!

The tunnel exit shows that there are still 95 kilometers in Litang, Gaocheng.

The highway on the ridge of Jianziwan is gentle and undulating, and the plateau scenery is unobstructed.

The peak on the right is intended to be the main peak of Jianziwan Mountain.

Alpine meadows are very barren this season.

In another month, the ridge will present a landscape of green grass and yellow flowers and shrubs!

A landscape of Qiangtang Plateau is presented!

Alpine meadows, now surrounded by dense forests, are a bit like the landscape of the Loess Plateau.

The vehicle is driving on the winding scissors-curved ridge.

The ups and downs of the mountains are refreshing!

Six proverbs are engraved on the barren alpine meadow ahead.

The plateau scenery is infinitely beautiful!

This season, the green plants in the mountains have not recovered, and it seems that they have come to the Loess Plateau again!

Goodbye, the magnificent scenery and colorful scissors have bent the mountain!
