National Road 2 13 Mohan Prose

2 13 this national road starts from Mohan, Yunnan in the south and ends in Lanzhou, Gansu in the north, passing through Yunnan, Sichuan and Gansu, with a total length of more than 3,000 kilometers. This road has undergone three changes today. Before 2002, the initial pavement of Line 2 13 was gravel pavement, and later it was paved with asphalt pavement without expanding its width. After 2002, it was expanded into a second-class automobile dedicated line, and some lines were changed, the pavement was expanded, and guardrails were installed on both sides of the road; 20 15 10, the newly-built G85 was opened to traffic in expressway, and the G85 of some routes was modified to two-way four lanes. All the bridges and tunnels are connected with high mountains and canyons, and the roads are really smooth. The reason why I chose to go to Mohan is because I have been running on this road all day. I live in Zhaotong, but my work place is Jing 'an. The only road connecting these two places is National Highway 2 13. I have been running on this road every day since 2007. Every autumn and winter, it is even more frightening. The hidden danger on this road is fog first. In spring, autumn and winter, fog always takes care of the mountains from Zhaotong to Jing 'an. Fog always comes unconsciously, which is meaningless. From the uphill of the north gate, the fog has covered the road surface, the sight has dropped from more than 100 meters to more than 10 meters, and the speed has dropped from more than 40 meters to more than 10 meters. I still can't see the car opposite. Spring and autumn are better, and the fog is mixed with raindrops, which can be removed with a wiper. In winter, the fog mixed with freezing rain quickly freezes on the window, making people unable to see the road clearly; Followed by ice, the annual1February to March is the ice age of this period. This season is a nightmare for all drivers. Every day, it is always scary to see cars rushing off the road, dumping in ditches, colliding head-on and jumping off cliffs. While mourning their lost lives, they are worried that they will follow in their footsteps. But 2 13 is a good name! 2 13 is to love me all my life. As the starting point of Love My Life, stupidity has always been a scenery I miss.

April 29th, 20 13, the first day of May Day holiday. After breakfast in the morning, we drove to Xishuangbanna. Depart from Kunming, follow the ring expressway and go straight to Yuxi along Dianchi Lake. Wide and straight expressway, almost beautiful lakes and mountains, makes me feel like I'm in a dream! Arrive at Yuanjiang rest station at noon 12. Although I'm not tired or thirsty, it's time to eat. Stop to have a rest, buy mangoes and oranges, have lunch, move on, pass by Pu 'er and go straight to Xishuangbanna. With the change of vegetation along the way, I vaguely know that we have been in Xishuangbanna, the crown jewel of the plant kingdom! Arrived in Jinghong at 5: 30 pm, and a friend contacted the hotel. After check-in, let's have a rest and go out to solve dinner. Picky and late, we walked around for a long time and finally had a barbecue with the children in the riverside (Lancang River) park! Hehehe, quiet full moon, clear night sky, grilled fish and pineapple rice, juice, beer and spirits, comfortable jokes.

On the morning of April 30th, 20 13, everyone had breakfast in the hotel and boarded the bus and went straight to Mohan. All the way through the banana fields, rubber forests and natural tropical forests along the 2 13 line. The blue sky is beautiful, the greenery is boundless, and the mountain roads are winding. At 12: 30, we drove 160 km and came to Mohan town, the starting point of 2 13 highway, which is the port location of China and Laos.

Mohan town is very small, with only two streets. The main street is a section of line 2 13, and buildings are built on both sides of the road, extending1500m. There is an alley near the east side of the main street, with a slightly narrow street surface, similar length and consistent buildings. The buildings on the street are basically villas of the same specifications. The building is two and a half stories high, with a spire and a red or blue roof. The color is extremely bright and beautiful, hidden among tall trees. Most of the buildings on the first floor have been transformed into shops. Most of the goods sold in the shops are made in China, and there are many hotels and restaurants. According to my colleagues who like Southeast Asian customs, such as Thailand and Malaysia, you have already seen Southeast Asian customs when you arrive at Mohan Port! Go and have breakfast first! Along the sidewalk of Mohan Town, I enjoyed the lush forests on the hills along the street, looked at the colorful flowers blooming on the isolation belt in the middle of the street, and looked at the colorful foreign buildings on both sides of the street. Hehehe, we thought we were walking on the streets of foreign countries. While taking photos, everyone left tropical trees such as coconut trees and palm trees, and paid attention to the place to eat, and casually found a Sichuan restaurant for lunch. It's already two noon.

The town is nearly two kilometers from the customs, and we drove to the customs. My friend is busy changing foreign currency. After bargaining with vendors, 10 yuan RMB can be exchanged for 3,500 kyats, as well as Thai baht, Vietnamese currency and Lao currency. They have paid the money and exchanged it for some foreign currency as souvenirs. I asked around if there were any one-day trips to other places. As a result, people are helpless and outbound travel cannot be realized. It is said that the exit permit alone will take a month, and I can't wait! We had to stroll through the customs. Around the customs compound, no boundary markers were seen, but the boundary markers of the Qing Dynasty were seen. Visited the customs import and export inspection hall (commonly known as the port), and then came to the actual port control point. I can't leave this country, so I have to visit the duty-free shop in the port. The shop area is small, but it brings together goods from all over the world. A friend compared it and the price was really cheap. When the ladies were shopping, several men bought some cigars and smoked them in the aisle, which was a cigar addiction. After an hour and a half of sightseeing, we can only board the bus with regret, reluctantly bid farewell to Mohan and return to Xishuangbanna city.

The G2 13 line starts from the vibrant tropical rain forest and ends in the mysterious desert. Is life and love really the same, from vitality to winding all the way, and finally to desolation and loneliness?
