Notes on Sichuan-Tibet Line 3 18

Tibet, mysterious and beautiful, fascinating! The world has given Tibet the reputation of "the top of Qian Shan and the source of thousands of waters". Traditional cultural beliefs, the cradle of Tibetan antelope and the paradise of yak have created this unique exotic style. Blue sky, white clouds, snowy mountains and grasslands, Tibet has nurtured generations of simple Tibetan herders! Taking the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is like life, with ups and downs, peaks and valleys. From Chengdu 5 12 meters to Lhasa 3,658 meters, more than 2,400 kilometers and more than 4,000 meters of hills, it is not just a road, but a pilgrimage in the journey of life.

Everyone has his own reason to go to Tibet, perhaps because of lovelorn love or because he is divorced from the secular world. In reality, most people don't actually live for themselves. Many realities bound me, probably because of this, I decided to put aside my heavy work and complicated life troubles and go to Lhasa in July, because I wanted to try to put down my mask and be myself. I know that every time I travel, it is not the scenery that moves me most, but the people. After graduation, I feel that I have been on the road, like an immortal bird that never dares to stop, flying actively and passively. It seems that once I stop, my mind will die, accompanied by my heartbeat. In Qian Shan, between Qian Shan's thousands of waters and tall buildings, it is still jumping strongly. There seems to be no time for me to think. Should I chase the wind, be as free as a distance, or stand on a tree, be as silent as the earth, and life is neither long nor short; Used to see the world, just right!

But I don't want to follow the crowd. I want to have an in-depth experience, not only physically, but also mentally. I chose Ranger. Our team has 17 players, two team leaders and two drivers. The full names of the two captains are responsible for jokes and explanations. A 97-year-old Erxian beauty has a beautiful voice and a beautiful voice. The other is Liu Liu, a little older and humorous. There are also two safe old drivers who sent us safely to Lhasa. On the whole, the trip to Sichuan and Tibet was good.

About the route

After visiting Lhasa, you won't go back the way you came. At 7: 00 in the morning, take the 3 18 National Road to Litang, cross Luding Bridge, Daocheng Aden, Linzhi, and then go to Lhasa. The whole journey is more than 2,000 kilometers, and more than 4,000 mountains have to be climbed: Zheduo Mountain, Gaoer Temple, Jianziwan Mountain, Kazila Mountain, Haizi Mountain, Tuer Mountain and Haizi Mountain. The famous rivers flowing through are: Minjiang River, Dadu River, Jinsha River, Lancang River, Nujiang River, Palong Zangbo River, Gong Yi Zangbo River, Lulang River, Yangni River and Lhasa River.

We run more than 300 kilometers on the 3 18 national highway every day. Crossing mountains, rivers and lakes to overcome altitude sickness and physical fatigue; Respond to the changeable climate and appreciate the impermanence of nature; Enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of Daocheng Aden, Tuer Mountain and Nujiang River, and feel the profound Tibetan cultural landscape. And life is just a skin. We have breathed fresh air, experienced gratitude and resentment, worked and lived between heaven and earth, and made contributions to human reproduction. In the complicated work and life, I began to get lost and lost ... I didn't leave a trace of my initial heart; We begin to return to nature to find the last pure land or initial heart, and we need to solve the root causes of our loss and inspire us to cherish every day.

On 1 day? Chengdu

The first day is an all-day party day. According to the time of arrival in Chengdu, I went to Huanju Hotel and checked in at the front desk of Huanju Hotel. Take a stroll and feel the slow life of Chengdu in various snacks and attractions.

The next day, Chengdu Ya 'an Luding Kangding Zheduo Mountain xinduqiao

After breakfast, take a bus to Ya 'an along Chengya Expressway, enjoy the scenery of western Sichuan Plain along the way, and reach Shimian via Yaxi Expressway. Along the way, you can see Yi villages reaching the Dadu River Valley (the largest and deepest canyon in western Sichuan), ascending along the Dadu River Valley, passing through the famous red city-Luding County, reaching kangding city and Kangding, which is also considered as entering Tibetan areas. Tibetan culture can be seen everywhere. We drove on, crossed the first mountain of National Highway 3 18-Zheduo Pass, passed the banner, and stopped here to take a group photo. Then go down the mountain and arrive at xinduqiao, a photography paradise, in the evening. On the first day of entering the plateau, everyone should have a good rest.

On the third day, Daocheng, Haizishan Nature Reserve, Litang, Yajiang and xinduqiao.

We set out from xinduqiao early in the morning, passed through Gaoersi Mountain and Yajiang County, and then began to climb Scissors Bend Mountain and Kazila Mountain.

After lunch in Shangri-La town, go to Aden ticket office, transfer to scenic spot sightseeing bus and continue to the last Shangri-La-Aden scenic spot. Because I had to stay in Aden village for one night, it was inconvenient to take a bath, so I brought simple toiletries to get on the bus. We can take the scenic sightseeing bus directly to the terminal-Zhakoubeng. Walk for ten minutes to the service station of Chonggu Temple, and simply eat your own food or buy some simple fast food at the service station. After dinner, walk 2km along the wooden plank road to Zhuo Ma CuO, enjoy Zhuo Ma CuO at the foot of Xiannai Rishen Mountain, one of the three great mountain in Aden, and then return to Chonggu Meadow to enjoy Shenandoah Mountain in the distance.

Buy a battery ticket at your own expense, travel to and from 80 yuan (or walk to Luo Rong Cattle Farm, about 2-3 hours), and arrive at Luo Rong Cattle Farm. It can be said that Luo Rong Cattle Farm is the central area of Aden Scenic Area, where you can watch the two sacred mountains of Yangmaiyong and Charoladoroji at close range. (The most beautiful time in the five-color sea is usually 1 2 pm. It must be sunny. When the sun shines on the colorful sea, it will definitely make you forget all your troubles. However, the Wuse Sea is more than 4,600 meters above sea level, and the weather changes abnormally, so it may encounter heavy rain and strong winds at any time, so it is inevitable. Please remain calm. In addition, because we walked all the way at high altitude, please do what you can, the scenery can be seen again, and safety is always the first). Return to the entrance of the scenic spot (Ziwa) around 5 pm, and take a bus back to Daocheng County to have a rest.

Cole Temple in Changqing is also the best viewing platform in Maoya Prairie. After lunch in Litang, follow the footsteps of the sun all the way to Batang, and then go to Jinsha River Bridge via Zhubalong. This is the dividing line between Sichuan and Tibet.

Along the way, there are lush trees, flowing water, eagles hovering, snow-capped mountains, lakes, farmland and villages, and the scenery is beautiful, which is overwhelming and intoxicating. We also specially arranged a 2-kilometer light hike in the most scenic area to slow down the time. Walk to Xiaranwu Lake, get on the bus, continue to walk more than 30 kilometers along the 3 18 National Road to Yupu, and then enter the Midui Glacier to play.

All the way through the clouds, the sea of azaleas fluttered in spring and summer. After crossing the pass, I went all the way south, entered Linzhi, which is known as the "Little Jiangnan" in full of green, went up the Yangni River, and reached Bayi Town, the capital of Linzhi area at an altitude of 2,900 meters, and took a short break.

Day 10 Linzhi Lhasa

After breakfast, the hotel continued westward along the 3 18 national highway, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Yangni River along the way, then set foot on Linla Expressway, arrived in Lhasa in the afternoon, and got together in Lhasa city.

In the past eight years and two months, I have laughed, cried, been angry and powerless ... I have been questioned, vilified, criticized, shady, cherished, abandoned, forgotten, without excuses and no need to explain ... Now the return of Sichuan and Tibet is ridiculous. The Sichuan-Tibet pilgrimage line has nothing to do with scenery, others, work and life ... Everything lies in self!
