2. Detailed Raiders of Qinghai-Tibet road trip

Whole journey of Tibet Line: Yecheng 243KM Mazha 180KM Shenchakou 183KM Tielongtan 98KM Jieshan Daban 172KM Sodoma 13km Ritu 17km Gaer (Shiquan River) 300KM gate. 157KM xigaze 2 13KM Qushui 49KM to Longdeqing11kmlasa2. The starting point of the Qinghai-Tibet line is Golmud City, Qinghai Province, and the end point is Lhasa, Tibet. Take 109 national highway and meet 3 17 and 3 18 national highways. Brief introduction of Qinghai-Tibet line: Qinghai-Tibet highway is asphalt pavement and is open to traffic all year round.

It depends on which way you go.

If you go to Tibet from the national highway 3 18 Sichuan-Tibet line, I suggest you go back to Beijing from the Qinghai-Tibet line. Since we are in road trip, we should try not to go the same way. Take the Sichuan-Tibet line when you go, and don't go when you come back. You should take the Qinghai-Tibet line or other roads, but the other roads are far away. If you want to go to go on road trip, you can also choose other roads, such as the New Tibet Line, or you can travel to Xinjiang.

I. Composition of expenses

1. Vehicle maintenance fee: If you drive through western Sichuan, Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu and other places, you need to travel more than 5,000 kilometers to sparsely populated areas. Before you leave, you should prepare a major maintenance for your car, so that it can turn the tide and conquer the mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The maintenance cost is about 1000 yuan.

2. Fuel cost: Generally speaking, the fuel consumption of cars/off-road vehicles fluctuates between 0.4- 1.2 yuan /km due to different conditions such as vehicle displacement, driving terrain and vehicle speed. Due to the frequent climbing and slow speed of Sichuan-Tibet line, the fuel consumption of Sichuan-Tibet line 1.6L car is about 0.6 yuan /km, and that of 3.0T off-road vehicle is about 1.2 yuan /km. The average budget here is 1 yuan/km, and the fuel cost of 5000 km is about 5000 yuan.

3. Charge: Sichuan-Tibet Line and Qinghai-Tibet Line belong to National Highway 3 18 and National Highway 109, and there is almost no charge for the whole journey. Only some sections of Chengya Expressway, Yakang Expressway and Qinghai-Tibet Line will generate certain tolls, totaling around 500 yuan.

4. Accommodation expenses: Accommodation expenses along the Sichuan-Tibet line and the Qinghai-Tibet line are much higher than those in first-tier economic cities. Usually chain hotels in Chengdu 150 yuan/night. If the same accommodation environment is changed to Sichuan-Tibet line, 300-400 yuan/night. The accommodation fee for five days is 5000 yuan.

5. Meal expenses: Because Lhasa is located in the plateau and the soil is barren, most vegetables, fruits and other ingredients are not produced. Tourists' food and drinks in Lhasa are basically transported from Chengdu, which causes some fresh-keeping and transportation costs, resulting in a much higher food cost in Lhasa than in Chengdu. Generally speaking, Chongqing eats hot pot per capita in 80 yuan, and Lhasa needs it per capita 130 yuan. After all, the daily average meal on the self-driving Sichuan-Tibet line is 100 yuan, and one day is 15 yuan.

6. Tickets for scenic spots: Sichuan enters the Great Ring Road, and there are many famous scenic spots to visit along the way. Such as Hailuogou, Daocheng Yading, Midui Glacier, Potala Palace, Yang Zhuo Yongcuo, Namco, Chaka Salt Lake and Qinghai Lake, the average ticket price is about 1 10,000 yuan.

Two. Estimation of per capita total cost of self-driving Tibet

To sum up, the total cost of vehicle maintenance, fuel, tolls, accommodation, catering, scenic spots, tickets, etc. for a single person driving into Tibet is about 1.4 million yuan.

This fee is the basic fee for single driver 15 days. If other companions carpool, the cost can be shared equally. For example, two people in Tibet drive, with an average of about 9,000 yuan per person; Four people in Tibet drive, about 6500 each.

3. Qinghai-Tibet road trip Road Map

The Qinghai-Tibet Highway starts in Xining City, Qinghai Province and ends in Lhasa, Tibet. It is the asphalt highway with the highest altitude and the longest route in the world, and it is also the shortest, best and safest highway leading to Tibet at present. The scenery along the way is magnificent and rich. You can see grasslands, salt lakes, Gobi, mountains, deserts and other landscapes.

The Qinghai-Tibet Highway, which is open to traffic all the year round, is the busiest highway among the four routes into Tibet. Drivers get tired easily after driving for a long time, so there are many traffic accidents. From time to time, you will see trucks turning under the subgrade along the way, so you should be especially careful when taking the Qinghai-Tibet line.

The Mongolian language in Hoh Xil means blue mountain, and another way of saying it is beautiful girl. It is located in the northwest of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, sandwiched between Tanggula Mountain and Kunlun Mountain, and is one of the main source areas of the Yangtze River.

Hoh Xil Nature Reserve is one of the areas with the best preserved original ecological environment in the world, and it is also the last natural land that retains its original state. There is no barrier around, and the terrain is high, with an average elevation of more than 5000 meters. Hoh Xil is a paradise for wild animals, because the harsh natural conditions here make it impossible for human beings to survive for a long time. Wild animals unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such as wild yak, Tibetan antelope, wild donkey, white-lipped deer and brown bear, make this girl more attractive. According to the data, Hoh Xil is one of the regions with the richest animal resources in China, with more than 230 species of wild animals, including more than 20 species of national first-class and second-class protected wild animals.

Qiangtang Prairie

Qiangtang is one of the five major pastures in China, located between Kunlun Mountain, Tanggula and Gangdise.

Herdsmen have created a dreamy and colorful nomadic culture here. There are not only ancient rock paintings, but also sites of ancient elephants and heroes. The footprints and stories of the hero King Gelsall are all over northern Tibet. Manidui, prayer flags and ancient pagodas can be seen everywhere, adding a bit of mystery to the vast prairie. The famous Tang-Fan ancient road runs through the north and south. Tents are a great sight here. In addition to the ancient yak tents, there are five kinds of nylon tents in red, blue, yellow, green and white, which are colorful and have different shapes. Many tents are hung with colorful wind flags.

Kaka salt lake

Chayanchi is located in the eastern edge of Qaidam Basin, south of Chaka Town, Wulan County. It is a rich and beautiful natural salt lake, with towering Wanyan Tongbu Mountain in the north, Wangxiu Mountain in the south and Chatang Basin in the east.

This lake is very shallow, you can walk on it. At this time, the sun is shining, and the transpiration air has a salty taste, which can make people relax. That feeling is really wonderful. The pure salt lake reflects the sky, clouds and distant mountains on the other side, and the shadow of people walking on it is also reflected in it, forming a beautiful scenery of water and sky. Chaka Salt Lake under the blue sky is elegant and pure, quiet as a girl, but amazing. It is as gorgeous as a jewel falling from the sky, and it also reflects the shadows of clouds, mountains and people in the salt lake like the sky. Walking in the lake is like walking on a smooth mirror, which is beautiful.

Qinghai Lake

Qinghai Lake, with an area of 4,583 square kilometers, is vast and mysterious. It is a huge mirror given by nature to Qinghai Plateau. The waves moving slightly on the clear blue lake seem to whisper an ancient legend.

Qinghai Lake is surrounded by four towering mountains and surrounded by tall natural barriers. From the foot of the mountain to the lake, there is an endless thousand-mile plain. Qinghai Lake, with its vast smoke and rippling blue waves, is like a huge jade platter embedded in mountains and grasslands, forming a magnificent landscape in which mountains, lakes and grasslands set each other off.

The scenery of Qinghai Lake is very different in different seasons. The lakeside of Qinghai Lake is beautiful in autumn, and the vast undulating grassland is like a thick green carpet. Countless cows, sheep and horses are scattered on the grassland like colorful pearls. Picturesque farmland near the lake is full of wheat waves and cauliflower, and Qinghai Lake is like a pool of glass nectar gently rippling in the blue water. The cold winter is coming. Qinghai Lake is frozen with jade and wrapped in silver, just like a huge mirror, shining in the sun all day long.
