Why is xinduqiao a photographer's paradise? How did this happen?

Xinduqiao is called "photographer's paradise" from the following aspects: pictures, light and shadow, and colors.

First of all, from the picture, xinduqiao is a town under the jurisdiction of kangding city, Ganzi Prefecture. It is located in the west of Zheduo Mountain at an altitude of more than 4,300 meters and belongs to the hinterland of Tibetan areas. At an altitude of about 3,300 meters, the 3 18 national highway passes through the town, and there are snow peaks, grasslands, streams, forests, Tibetan villages, cattle and horses, temples and other plateau scenery. Against the blue sky and white clouds, it looks particularly beautiful.

Besides light and shadow, photography is the art of light and shadow, and xinduqiao's unique geographical environment has created endless light and shadow, surrounded by many tall mountains, such as Gongga Mountain, Zheduo Mountain and Yala Snow Mountain, which make the clouds changeable and extremely rich, so local light is very common, and it is a kind of light that photographers like very much. In the local light, the scenery presented to them will be more vivid.

The following pictures were taken in xinduqiao for your reference.

I have been to xinduqiao several times. It can be said that every time I go, I feel different. The season is the key. I must go in autumn. The color is different.

To tell the truth, xinduqiao is a photographer's paradise and a marketing tool. You believe, you lose. The places around xinduqiao are not bad, but there are many beautiful places in Sichuan and Tibet, not xinduqiao. If you devote yourself to photography hopefully, you will be disappointed. It's no problem to stop and pat when taking the Sichuan-Tibet line. Autumn is the best.

Xinduqiao is actually a town, and the southern line of Sichuan-Tibet Line runs through Kangding at 3 18. It belongs to Kangding.

It began to flourish around 2004 and was praised as an exotic paradise by mainland photographers. This statement soon spread to the outdoor world, followed by self-driving people, and then everyone knew it, which became a deep-rooted statement.

In fact, if the southern line of the Sichuan-Tibet line goes west, there are many more beautiful places than here, such as Ranwu/Lulang/Bomi/Linzhi, Daocheng/Kowloon and so on on. But why is this place so famous?

You guessed right, you couldn't walk that far then.

At that time, the road was terrible, so there was no need to fantasize about paving the way. It will be slightly cooler after 20 14. From xinduqiao to Yajiang, the fork to Dege is a famous landslide section, with a total length of more than 60 kilometers. If it collapses, you can't leave, you can only wait. After that, Mangkang/Zuogong/Pailong became worse and worse. It takes time, courage and luck to pass.

Therefore, in those days, most ordinary tourists, passers-by on long holidays, etc. Based on the actual situation, they basically stop here when they don't have the fearless idea of going forward, and they won't be full and move on.

It can be said that the times created this place. Today, once you set foot on 3 18, you shouldn't stop there.

I remember seeing the earliest photos of xinduqiao in magazines in the 1990s-towering snow-capped mountains, towering poplars, winding rivers in meadows full of wild flowers, and simple and smiling Tibetans scattered in this picturesque scene! At that time, I first learned about this place, xinduqiao, and I first saw some people call it a photographer's paradise.

When I grow up, I often haunt Ganzi and Aba in Sichuan because of my work. As time goes on, I have a deeper understanding of Tibet. I am here to explain what I think is the answer.

The first time I went to xinduqiao was in the winter of 2006, when I was just passing by, but I lived in xinduqiao for about a month around May 1, 2007, which was considered as a deep tour. Xinduqiao is located in the national highway 3 18, which intersects with the provincial highway 2 13, and can be connected with another national highway 3 17. Theoretically, it is the first stop on the plateau. It's not too far from Kangding, but there is a big mountain in the middle-Zheduo Mountain. Ganzi people are used to separating the inside from the outside, and this pass is Zheduo Mountain. At that time, the 3 18 national highway was difficult to walk. In addition to military vehicles, there are only long-distance buses, and there are few social vehicles. This is one of the reasons why it is called a photography paradise-inconvenient transportation; Few people go because of the inconvenient transportation, but once they arrive in xinduqiao, they will find the beauty of the plateau. Xinduqiao can be said to have condensed many characteristics of plateau scenery-snow-capped mountains, Qingyang forests, grasslands, yaks, temples, Tibetan families ... and the altitude is not high, which is one of the reasons why xinduqiao is called a photography paradise; And only 90 kilometers away from Kangding, it is relatively convenient to go back and forth. And because more and more people go, the hotels and facilities in xinduqiao are becoming more and more perfect, at least it is difficult for people who go to find out too many problems (except the house price in peak season).

People who think what I said is wordy can understand it this way-when the traffic is inconvenient and there is no car, the first stop after crossing Zheduo Mountain is xinduqiao, and there is a yak Tibetan temple in the blue sky, snow-capped mountains and meadows, with beautiful scenery and affordable altitude. Of course, it will be exciting. There are a lot of good movies. After asking the way, the altitude is high and the accommodation is worse. Most people are not in the mood to go further and are happy to make a film.

Of course, now that roads have been repaired, there are more and more private cars. It is not difficult to travel in depth in Tibetan areas, which is much more than xinduqiao scenic spots, but the reputation of photographer's paradise was deeply rooted in the people's hearts in the propaganda of that year.

From xinduqiao to Daocheng Aden, simply speaking, the scenery is beautiful and no skill is needed.

Tibet's 3 18 national highway is beautiful.

His natural environment is well protected, and there will be different scenery from different angles and at different times. It is simply a magical place, which of course makes fans yearn for it.

It's not what it used to be. It's just an aisle now!
