3 18 National Highway Zheduo Mountain Photography

I am a working class, and I like traveling. However, due to the limitation of funds and time, I can't enjoy the great rivers and mountains of the motherland on a regular or regular basis like other friends who like traveling. I can only enjoy the National Golden Week and the preferential policies of high-speed free travel to realize my dream of becoming a holiday go on road trip.

Tourism is an advanced spiritual enjoyment. Through tourism, the psychological needs of novelty, knowledge and pleasure are satisfied, especially with the passage of time, tourism happiness will become a beautiful and unforgettable memory for a lifetime. This article will share my first trip to Daocheng Aden in Zheduo Mountain G3 18. I will never forget this experience. For friends who have walked through G3 18, they can relive good memories and feel different experiences. For those who have never walked through Zheduo Mountain, some travel strategies can be provided.

The starting point of my trip is Zhengzhou, Henan, and the end point is Aden, Daocheng, Sichuan, which is more than 2,000 kilometers apart and passes through a section of 3 18 National Road. Because of the long journey, I completed this tour within 7 days of the limited National Day Golden Week. I must plan the route and time. Round trip for 3 days, just 1 day to see the scenic spots. If there are no special circumstances, this trip can be realized smoothly.

10 1 in the early morning, I drove 1.6L from Zhengzhou, along the Lianhuo Expressway to the south of An, once crossed a Qinling Mountain with a long detour slope, and felt the change of the geographical boundary between north and south. After entering the Hanzhong Plain, I realized the artistic conception of "the mountains are flat and primitive" in Li Bai's works, and also understood the reason why Sichuan and Shaanxi were not bounded by Qinling Mountains in history. I believed the truth of "reading thousands of books and taking Wan Li Road". To make a long story short, I lived in Guangyuan City, Sichuan at night, and crossed Chengdu and entered the mountainous area the next day. The expressway was also completed in Luding County (now it has reached Kangding), and I really set foot on the 3 18 Sichuan-Tibet Highway.

G3 18 line winds in the deep mountains. There was a lot of traffic during the Golden Week, so we stopped when we went there. At dusk, we entered Kangding City, and there was a traffic jam on the road. On both sides of the road are Tibetan residential family hotels, which give people a refreshing curiosity. From time to time, looking from the window to both sides, some tourists stroll on the sidewalk in groups of three or five, and some tourists look around as if looking for a place to stay. We plan to stay in xinduqiao through Kangding (later, I think this plan is not suitable, and it is difficult to cross the mountains at night). Time passed, and the motorcade crawled like a snail, and it was raining lightly. Because it is dark, the traffic police in front are completely guided by navigation. Walking, the navigation suddenly disappeared, thinking that the navigation was broken. Search the route again, navigate and export another route, and take S2 1 1. It will take several hours to see the estimated arrival time. Search the navigation again to remind you of the heavy snow ahead.

Driving along a path, it began to rain heavily, and we searched all the hotels on both sides. After checking in, we came to a small restaurant with two tables of diners. We ordered food and waited for dinner. At this time, we only heard a little girl skipping at the door of the hotel and saying, it's snowing, it's snowing. I looked up and looked out along the door. Snowflakes are floating in the light at the door. Snow is rare in October. I'm not used to eating rice, and my appetite is greatly increased. The cooked yak meat cooked in the store is very appetizing. After dinner, I bought a few kilograms to eat the next day. There is a special feature in our travel abroad. We prepare some delicious cooked food in the car, which is convenient for us to sharpen our points in time in the car. This is also our experience. The next day's trip verified that beef solved the big problem, which will not be detailed later.

In order to save time on the road, we set off before dawn the next day. Just out of Kangding City, I saw a long line of vehicles under the street lamp in front, and we followed in turn. After a long time, nothing happened, so we got off and asked about the situation. It turns out that the road ahead is still closed, and these cars are waiting. A car just came from the opposite side. Ask him if he just went down the mountain. He is a native of Sichuan. He said that there was heavy snow in Zheduo Mountain in front of him last night, and many cars were trapped in the mountain. He has just come down after being trapped in the mountain all night, and the snow is too heavy to pass. Later, I learned from the Internet that the heavy snow in Zheduo Mountain blocked the trip of nearly 10,000 people to Daocheng Aden, which became the news of the day, so some tourists who wanted to go canceled their trips. Happiness depends on misfortune. Although we later detoured more than 200 kilometers to avoid Zheduo Mountain and went to Aden, there were few tourists in Aden Scenic Area, avoiding the crowds and enjoying the beautiful scenery. This is called the bright side of everything.

Zheduo Mountain is the only place for Kangding to reach Daocheng, and it is also the dividing line between Han and Tibetan cultures. After crossing Zheduo Mountain, he officially entered Kangba Tibetan area. Yakou is 4298 meters above sea level, which is 1.800 meters away from Kangding city. It is the first mountain pass on the Sichuan-Tibet line and is known as the "first pass in Kangba". "Zheduo" means bending in Tibetan, and it is also written in Chinese. Panshan highway winds back and forth, just like a word "many" When we returned from Daocheng, the snow didn't melt, but the mountain road was cleared for driving. After turning one corner after another, we knew what the road to the snowy mountain was. There is a local saying: "Erlang Mountain, which scared people to death, has turned over many dead mountains." Since the completion of Erlangshan Tunnel, Zheduo Mountain has become the first challenging peak on the Sichuan-Tibet line. 3 18 National Highway passes through the 4298m pass from here and then goes down to xinduqiao town. It is said that the tunnel in Zheduo Mountain is under construction. Once the tunnel is completed, for self-driving tourists, they can't feel the thrill of Zheduo Mountain and the beautiful scenery of this Sichuan-Tibet line.

After returning to Kangding city, we followed the navigation guide and found the S2 1 1 line to go to Danba county. Although there are lights shining on the road after the rain, the sight of the back streets and alleys is still not good. The car suddenly hitched, which was the sound of wheels coming from the pit on the road. When walking, I felt that the steering wheel was a little off, thinking it was broken. Maybe the tire is flat. The car pulled over and sure enough, the left front wheel had a flat tire. At first glance, it was after 5 o'clock in the morning, just in the city with a flat tire. Fortunately, it is difficult to do it in the wild. There are few pedestrians on the road, only the breakfast shops on the roadside are open, and sporadic cars stop at the roadside to send guests to eat breakfast. I drive under a street lamp to change a tire. This is the first time I learned to change tires while driving, but I have no confidence at all, even though I saw the mechanic unload the tires when I was maintaining my car in a 4S shop. I carefully removed three screws, but I couldn't remove the last one. I tried hard, but I dared not take it out by force. I was afraid of breaking the screw and gave up after several attempts. I went to the hotel to find a place with a garage. Luckily, there is a garage across the street. Only then did I notice the dawn. There is a river by the roadside and a bridge over it. The river is twenty or thirty meters wide. The river is big and fast, and the sound of running water can be heard far away. There is snow on the mountain across the river. I hurried across the river to find the garage, which is 100 meters away from where I parked. I didn't go to work until after 8 o'clock when I asked.

I went back to the car and waited for the garage to go to work. Suddenly, there was a kind of inexplicable helplessness, and I realized the helplessness of "it's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's difficult to go out for a while". Worried about the loss of time, delayed the trip of Daocheng Aden, a little fidgety. Sitting in the car, I can't sleep and don't want to see the scenery. I just got off the bus and went to the garage. At this time, I carefully looked at the garage at the foot of the mountain and went in from an alley. Only one car can pass. I watched the repair shop through the crack of the door. It is not big. There are several cars to be repaired. There is a rescue car at the door, and there is no place to give it to others. After reading it, I think it is necessary to wait for the garage to open before rescuing the vehicle and driving in first, otherwise the vehicle will have to queue up at the gate of the parking lot, which will delay the maintenance time. I endured the pain of crushed tires and slowly drove to the alley leading to the repair shop, waiting for the rescue car to drive out of the alley after work and be the first to go in to repair the car. Everything went according to plan. As soon as my car entered the garage, several cars came from behind, waiting at the door. Sure enough, a bolt on the car was broken, and the mechanic finally got a bolt, but the repair shop was small and could not change a new tire, so he had to change a spare tire.

Car repair is almost 10 o'clock. We left Kangding City and went back to Luding County. This is the way we came. We hesitated on the way. If you return to Chengdu by the same route, the purpose of this trip has not been achieved. If you want to go to Daocheng, you need to bypass Danba County and take an extra 270 kilometers of mountain roads. It is impossible to predict the road ahead. After ideological struggle, I finally decided to bypass Danba County, but the detour was not smooth. Although I saw some scenic spots like Jiaju Tibetan Village, it could not make up for the traffic jam. At 9 o'clock in the evening, I went to a place called Tagong Town to stay. Afterwards, it was proved that our detour decision was correct. We successfully bypassed Zheduo Mountain and arrived in Daocheng Aden from xinduqiao. We saw another beautiful scenery along the way and returned to Zhengzhou smoothly within the scheduled time.
