Travel to Tibet, introduce it in detail. To what extent can I brag about this awesome power?

I went to Tibet four times this year, basically following the self-driving team, and the Sichuan-Tibet line entered the Qinghai-Tibet line.

People who like to go out to play may all have a Tibetan dream. As the saying goes, how can they grow old without Tibet?

Of course, it is not enough to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the west once.

Friends who like photography, it is not easy to shoot Tibet well.

Friends will ask, after going so many times, aren't you tired of watching and patting?

I want to say that good things will always make you want more.

Every time different people have different stories, the same scenery can still find different angles.

Therefore, going deep into Tibetan areas is addictive.

This post will introduce the beautiful scenery on the Sichuan-Tibet line and the Qinghai-Tibet line in detail, as well as some self-driving strategies.

All the pictures are from the self-driving club of Dianhang.

What I said before

1, about photography

Cameras are basically 6D Canon 5D3, and lenses have various focal lengths. The aerial photography is DJI Royal.

In fact, the time span to Tibet will be longer, so it is not recommended to bring too much equipment.

I usually use these three lenses, namely 16-35, 50, 70-200. Most of the 50 shots are mainly used to shoot people.

Later, it is also LR+PS. Most of them are simply colored, and few of them are badly repaired.

Of course, if you like photography, shooting a sunrise and sunset starry sky or something, a tripod cable release filter is also essential.

2. About the road conditions

In fact, the road conditions from Chengdu to Lhasa are quite good now.

The whole line is basically asphalt, and only a few sections are pitted.

However, if you need to travel by car, it is recommended to choose an SUV with good power or a hard-core cross-country.

There is Sinopec and PetroChina in the whole journey, but it is written that there is no No.95 gasoline in the gas station. Friends who have high requirements for oil products can prepare some fuel treasures.

3. About high opposition

Friends who have had plateau experience certainly don't have to worry.

It is also appropriate to drive into Tibet without going to the plateau, because the gradual increase in altitude is conducive to physical adaptation.

There is no direct relationship between personal feeling and good health.

People who first go to the plateau will have some reactions more or less.

But it is most important to keep a good attitude, reduce the amount of exercise and take a deep breath.

4. What clothes should I bring?

In fact, in a place like Tibet, it is easy to see short sleeves and down jackets framed together.

Generally, even if you go in summer, you should prepare warm clothes.

It was snowing when we crossed the East Pass in August this year, and the temperature was about 3-5 degrees.

But if it is sunny, it will be sunnier and hotter. Short sleeves or a leather trench coat will do.

So when you go to Tibet, you basically have to buy clothes all year round.

Summer clothes mainly pay attention to sun protection, and winter clothes mainly pay attention to wind protection.

Friends who like photography, it is necessary to have a soft shell with good wind and rain proof effect.

5. About the south of Sichuan-Tibet line

The southern part of the Sichuan-Tibet line, namely National Highway 3 18, was once praised as the most beautiful scenic avenue in China by chinese national geography. It starts from Chengdu and reaches the holy city of Lhasa, with a total length of about 2 100KM. It is necessary to cross the 14 mountain pass at an altitude of more than 4000m. A mountain is a landscape, and the most beautiful scenery is not in any scenic spot, but on the road that is easily overlooked.

The first 4000-meter-high mountain on the 3 18 line is the mountain pass. Leaving Kangding City is a winding mountain road in the middle of the mountain. When you cross the mountain, you will find a completely different scenery opposite. The plateau landform is unobstructed.

The flying prayer flags hang the five-color prayer flags printed with scriptures on the pass, and the wind blows the prayer flags and dances, which is equivalent to singing the prayer flags with the wind.

Five-color prayer flags symbolize five phenomena in nature and are the material basis of life. It symbolizes the hope of peace and happiness in the world. We should first hope that nature will be disaster-free, so we use banners with five different colors on the prayer flags to express this psychological support.

Blue symbolizes the blue sky; White symbolizes white clouds; Red symbolizes flame; Green symbolizes green water; Yellow symbolizes the earth.

Xinduqiao viewing platform to see Gongga, the king of mountains, Shu.

In fact, when I first went to xinduqiao many years ago, I also felt that xinduqiao had a hollow reputation, and any photographer's paradise was a bit exaggerated.

But it turns out that the word xinduqiao actually represents all the beautiful scenery around.

Now xinduqiao is more like the gateway and transit point for tourism in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It has passed through xinduqiao countless times, where it eats, stays and supplies.

Whether in Tibet, in Tagong to see Yala Snow Mountain, or in Yaha to shoot Gongga Snow Mountain, xinduqiao is a must.

Haizishan Sister Lake, also known as Eyeglasses Lake, is next to National Highway 3 18, and the most classic seat, almost every passing tourist will stop to shoot.

Batang is the last county where Sichuan entered Tibet. Tibet is not far from the county seat, but on the Jinsha River. In particular, Batang needs to pass through a long and narrow river valley-Haitong ditch to reach Mangkang. This road is very complicated. After the continuous rainfall in summer, natural disasters such as mudslides and landslides often occur, and traffic jams have almost become commonplace. So be very careful when crossing a section, observe the falling rocks and pass quickly. Say hello to the road conditions in advance and take emergency measures. After Mangkang, he kept climbing the Hengduan Mountains, and each mountain had its own unique scenery.

Ranwu Lake covers an area of 220,000 square kilometers with an altitude of 3,850 meters. There are Gangrigabu Snow Mountain in the southwest, Azagongla Glacier in the south and Boshula Ridge in the northeast. Melting water of snow and ice around the snow-capped mountains constitutes the main water source of Ranwu Lake, and makes the lake pour westward, forming one of the upstream sources of Palong Zangbo, an important tributary of Yarlung Zangbo River, a famous river in Tibet. Lake Ranwu is a large meadow with lush green grass, surrounded by blue water and snow-capped peaks, which is picturesque. The long and narrow CuO Lake in A Mu winds to the west for more than ten kilometers and gradually shrinks into a river valley. With the different seasons, the river also presents several colors such as blue or turquoise. There are many rocks and islands in the river, trees swaying on the lake in spring, and foggy in autumn and winter. The beautiful scenery of the four seasons will make people feel like they are in a dream.

Midui Glacier is one of the six most beautiful glaciers in China.

Linzhi area, affected by the warm and humid air current in the Indian Ocean, is rainy all the year round, because the average altitude is also low, forming a unique monsoon climate. Here, unlike the desolate and steep plateau, there is only a vibrant Jiangnan scene.

Namgyabawa, known as the most beautiful snow mountain in China, has not yet reached the top, and the overall peak is steep and steep, which is very beautiful. Because it is often shrouded in clouds, it is difficult to see the real body, which is talked about by everyone. It's hard for many people to watch it three or five times, and it's even harder to shoot Rizhao Jinshan in Nange Bawa, but we did it, hahahaha!

All kinds of Potala Palace always have an angle that you can't get tired of shooting!

In fact, in Lhasa, everyone will go to Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street and Jokhang Temple.

There are many other smaller temples around, which are worth visiting if time permits.

For example, Jokhang Temple and Bugong, I suggest you choose a local tour group to attend and solve the ticket problem for you.

You can't take pictures in the cloth palace. The space inside is actually relatively narrow, unlike the Forbidden City in Beijing, but I can't listen to the explanation.

I really don't see any doorways, so it is necessary to listen carefully to the introduction of the commentator.

Barkhor Street outside Jokhang Temple is crowded, and both foreign tourists and locals who come to worship will gather here in large numbers. Many believers will come to worship and kowtow early every day, and when they are tired, they will drink a cup of butter tea they brought. Take a break before continuing. This is the real Tibet. Everyone is so pious, some mainland tourists don't understand, but please respect them.

Lhasa is the beginning, not the end, of all Tibetan dreams. There are Ali, Shannan and Naqu in western Tibet, and more and more magnificent scenery awaits us. That's the world, the roof of the world! The real snowy plateau, but unfortunately I haven't gone deep into Ali. But I believe the opportunity will come soon! Well, I won't elaborate on the rest. After all, our trip has just passed the first half! Wonderful, just beginning!

One of the three sacred lakes, Yang Zhuo Yongcuo Lake.

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. It takes 3-4 days to charter a car from Lhasa. Now the road conditions are very good in the past, and the asphalt road goes directly to the tent door of Everest base camp! Personally, I feel that almost all cars were fine before. Everest base camp is at an altitude of 5200 meters. I believe that friends who follow the Sichuan-Tibet line are not afraid of this number at all. If you are a friend who just flew to Lhasa, it is recommended to stay in Lhasa for two or three days before going. If you like photography, it is recommended to prepare a four-day trip, stay at Everest base camp for one night and shoot the stars at sunrise and sunset. I believe this will be the most precious memory in my life! The first time I went to Everest, I was fortunate to see the most shocking galaxy in my life at the base camp. The bright pink and purple scars of the Milky Way are hanging in the sky, and the dim light of the Milky Way can directly reflect people's shadows. You don't need a flashlight when you go out at night, but because you can't shoot the starry sky at that time, you missed it perfectly.

Namtso, one of the three sacred lakes in Tibet, is 5-6 hours drive from Lhasa. It's hard to go back and forth on the same day. As the old saying goes, it's also wonderful to stay in Namco for one night if physical conditions permit! The motorcade drove directly to the lake, and there were few other tourists in the wild! Through the sheep! It feels great!

6. About the Qinghai-Tibet Line

The Qinghai-Tibet line needs to cross Qiangtang Grassland and Hoh Xil Nature Reserve. The speed limit in many sections is serious, the national roads are undulating, and there are many large trucks. The average altitude is relatively high. Although the road is not as tortuous as the Sichuan-Tibet line, the supply cities are too far apart, which is a huge challenge to the driver's physical strength and perseverance!

Driving time per day/kloc-more than 0/2 hours, there are no big attractions. Driving on such a vast road, endless grassland! This is the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve!

If you need to shoot Tibetan antelopes, you need some luck, or have a lens with a focal length of more than 500, which will greatly improve the shooting chances. These Tibetan antelopes are close to me, and they have been photographed, but they are as small as sesame seeds, so I won't embarrass myself here, hahaha. If you want to ask how to tell the difference, I will tell you quietly that Tibetan antelopes have horns and Tibetan antelopes have no horns.

The highest railway in the world.

All the way east to Golmud and deep into the hinterland of Qaidam Basin.

The highway conditions are surprisingly good! Hundreds of kilometers of straight gentle slopes,

There is no speed limit! This is a paradise for racing.

There are few good cars on the road, and many of our riders have almost arrived at180,200 yards.

Driving a flying car, haha

About 30 kilometers away from Delingha County, there is an alien site-Tuo Su Hu, behind Crook Lake, which is guided by road signs. Not many people have heard of it, because it is not very famous.

But the scenery here is really unique in the northwest! Definitely worth a visit!

Gobi desert oasis, clear water and blue sky, the visual sense of reaching Monaco.

The car can drive to a very high position.

Of course, the car is good! Ha ha laugh

The hills here are a bit of Danxia landform, with red soil and geological stratification.

The scenery is beautiful when you look far away.

The car can only drive down the hill, and it will come up in the last section, which is not very high, about 10 minutes.

There is an observation deck on the top of the mountain.

But few people can find their way.
