Western photographer

Hello, riders, shall we drive? Chuanqi GS8' s journey to explore the western frontier and record the national culture is still going on. In the last issue, we officially started the humanistic part of this photography tour. After that, we gradually moved away from the big cities, but we also met more beautiful and simple friends. Now the blockbuster continues.

Day? 8 Gannan in Gansu? Zagana

After leaving Linxia, we drove into Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Because it is close to the plateau, the altitude rises all the way. Fortunately, 2.0T is full of power, and overtaking with 6AT gearbox is effortless. However, away from big cities, there are more unpaved roads. Fortunately, the ground clearance of GS8 is OK, and it is basically good to drive without the intervention of four-wheel drive.

Our shooting target here is Zha (zhā) Ga (g m). As soon as we hear this name, we can feel the rich Tibetan culture. This is the ancient city of Yiwa Township, more than 30 kilometers northwest of Diebu County, which means "stone box" in Tibetan. The terrain is like a huge palace and a natural rock wall on a large scale.

From the photos we took, we can see that Zaga Mountain is steep and foggy. Living conditions such as nomadism, farming, hunting and firewood collection coexist in Tibetan villages.

When eating in the local area, the Tibetan eldest brother was quite confident about the scenery in Zhagana, telling us that the scenery after snow was more like a fairyland. It's a pity that our schedule is still very tight, otherwise we really want to stay here for a while.

After eating a hard dish, we continued on our way. A few rays of sunshine suddenly appeared over the foggy ancient city, so we decisively ran to the observation deck and took a picture, which was really good.

Take a group photo and leave.

Although the scenery here is memorable, the road conditions are really unfriendly to beginners. Although they are all asphalt roads, there are many twists and turns and many large trucks. After driving for a while, my palms were sweaty. It is easy for Mr. Chen to sit in the co-pilot without driving and listen to Yin Fei Lishi Audio fiddling with the big screen. I have to say, he is really big.

DAY9 Xunhua? Sala nationality

After shooting the beautiful scenery of Gannan, we began to head northwest. Along the S202 provincial road, we visited a large Salar family in Xunhua.

In China, four generations living under one roof represent family reunion and healthy prosperity. Shooting the scene of four generations of all ethnic groups living under one roof is one of our themes.

As usual, Mr. Chen fiddled with his large-format camera for a while and said that it was really not easy for such a large family of more than 20 people to get together. It was a pity that he didn't take a good family photo.

When we left, the baby seemed to like this cart very much. Sure enough, men love cars regardless of years.

DAY 10？ Qinghai? tu autonomous county of huzhu

Along S202, we entered Qinghai. Although all the way is in the northwest, it is mostly green mountains and green waters, and it is rare to see the desert Gobi.

This makes the PM2.5 air filtration system in the car a bit wasteful, but it is also good to see the blue sky through the large skylight (our roof trunk does not affect the opening of the panoramic skylight).

After entering Qinghai, we quickly went to the next shooting location to shoot the family photos of local Turkish friends.

The Turkish population is small. There are 280,000 people mainly living in Huzhu Tu Autonomous County in Qinghai, and their living habits and languages are similar to those of the Mongols. There is a widespread legend that their ancestors came from Mongols, and Genghis Khan's general Geri Park Rongsu (Geletai) led his troops to stay in Sobutan (now Huzhu County, which means Mongolian Beach), died of illness soon, and his subordinates stayed behind. Later, they married the local Hall people and gradually multiplied into Tu nationality.

Because they live near Xining, the capital of Qinghai, the local people are quite rich. Almost every family has a car, but they really don't know much about their own brands. Brother Tu, who has always liked cars, specially got on the bus to feel Chuanqi's flagship SUV and asked about the price.

The Turkish elder sister also said that the interior looks good and feels as good as her own Qi Jun. Next time she changes cars, she must look at her own brand first.

The next forecast will continue to March to the northwest after leaving Qinghai, and the distance behind will begin to be severe. There are not only desert Gobi and ethnic cuisine here, but also wonderful stories waiting for you after entering Tibet.
