The road is rugged, the Land Cruiser cruises in western Sichuan, a trip that can just go

The New Year holiday atmosphere has not yet dissipated, and the whole country has been plunged into a sudden epidemic. ?The most anticipated holiday of the year has changed from normal, to extraordinary, to long, and finally just long. The more we stay at home, the more we wander around the world; the more we face the shadow of death, the more we long for the sunshine of life. We once thought that 2019 would be a difficult hurdle to overcome, but little did we know that 2020 would be difficult at the beginning.

Last year we followed the newly installed Lingji Land Cruiser Pilot Edition on a quick trip to a secret place in western Sichuan. Now we share with you the beautiful pictures and interesting things about this trip, and also attach a beautiful video. To comfort the cyclists who are bored at home.

This trip started from Chongqing in late November, passing through Ya'an and Kangding, entering Xinduqiao to start the journey to western Sichuan, passing through Tagong and Danba, detouring to Majiagou, and finally returning from Dujiangyan, which lasted about a week. , the road conditions on the entire road section were better than expected. Except for the heavy fog when crossing the Zheduo Mountains, the road maintenance near Danba, and the Balang Mountain Ice and Snow Kingdom, there were some extreme road conditions. In other cases, even an SUV like the Audi Q5 It's easy to handle, and the Patrol and Land Cruiser with full-time four-wheel drive are no problem.

Our old friend Patrol Y62 is our main logistical workhorse. Folding down the third row can free up a huge space of nearly 1500L, which provides convenient conditions for placing valuable photographic equipment and travel necessities. The original configuration of the XE4.0 version can be said to be a piece of cake when dealing with paved roads and light off-road, but it is somewhat inadequate on muddy grasslands.

The Patrol Lord Edition is Lingji Technology’s first product tailored for full-size off-road vehicles. It has received great attention and received good market feedback since its release. People’s achievements have allowed us to continue our efforts to complete the research and development of the Land Cruiser customized kit, which has been increasingly popular, and this has inadvertently led to this peak showdown between the two hard-core Japanese off-road vehicles, Y62 and LC200. It has to be said that although the price gap is not small, the Patrol's temperament in this vast snowfield is not inferior to that of Land Cruiser, which has always occupied the top spot among parallel imported cars.

The new Land Cruiser is the protagonist of this shooting. After being replaced with the new Pilot Surround, it continues the hexagonal design of the Land Cruiser family language and gradually increases the air intake area, giving it a sense of sportiness and luxury at the same time. The design has been improved, and the engineering data design that has been reviewed and verified many times has minimized the impact on off-road performance. It can walk on flat ground on such non-paved roads and live up to the reputation of the Land Cruiser.

Yaks can be seen everywhere in high-altitude areas. They are strong and steady. They live contentedly in this grassland. Facing a group of strangers like us, they just continue to chew indifferently and occasionally turn around. I glanced over my shoulder at the Toyota with a cow head logo running on the grassland.

Although Western Sichuan is big, not every mountain can accommodate us having fun like this. We were able to drive to this grassland because we worshiped this Tibetan man’s wharf, and the yaks all over the mountains and plains are all Be his. I’m very curious. I’ve seen a lot of land patrols here. This is the first time I’ve seen something like this. He even praised our design in a Tibetan style that’s not fluent. After all, we just herd yaks every day. Looking at the top of the mountain, the life of the rich is so simple and boring.

Friends who have been to western Sichuan like to use one sentence to describe the scenery here: the body is in hell, the eyes are in heaven. Even if you walk the small loop again, the different scenery in each season will make you linger. In another month, the land in late autumn will be covered with winter snow, giving birth to the coming spring.

Self-driving is meaningless if you stop moving forward, because the most beautiful scenery is always on the road. What’s more, this trip is different from the previous round-trip tours to popular attractions. It is to explore and experience places that have not yet been visited. Have fun driving it.

After passing many checkpoints, I was lucky enough to enter the Taizhanggou Nature Reserve. I never thought that the land patrol driving in the city could cross the stream and drive through the thorns to the majestic Yala Snow Mountain. There was no network signal. In this no-man's land, we bid farewell to modern life and the work of paperwork for a short time. There are only gurgling streams, melting snow, dogs barking, birds singing, and good nights.

Crossing the snow-capped mountains and across the wilderness, the pilot version of the Land Cruiser shows its world-leading magnificence in this vast world. One more car makes it a bit noisy, while one less car makes it empty. Every frame tells four words to our minds: It’s a worthwhile trip.

The sun was already shining brightly when we climbed up to Yinchanggou. This was the place with the worst road conditions during the entire trip. The melting snow and the rain the night before had turned the grassland into extremely muddy. I fell into it several times and couldn't extricate myself. The deep and long The ruts are probably the best proof that we have been to this land.

The dilapidated wooden house can no longer withstand the cold wind, rain and snow. It is difficult to imagine where the owner of the house is now. All that is left is a sad and beautiful freehand wind and snow painting. In front of nature, people are still small and have a deep heart. Only with awe can we stop our actions.

The sky is getting late, and the last ray of light shines on the mountains. After a long journey, Luxun enjoys this moment of tranquility. After all, for a hard-core off-road vehicle that is unwilling to be ordinary, this is just the starting point of the journey around the world. .

Along the way, various emergencies such as high-reflection, car accidents, and car accidents are just like the constant setbacks and hardships encountered in current life. In the end, they are just insignificant episodes in the long journey, and finally stay. What's in my mind are beautiful memories after all, to encourage you.
