Chengdu | The Land of Abundance Departs

Chengdu, the land of abundance, has a long history, and literature and art have been revealed in ancient times. Whether it's koi fish, Kuanzhai Lane or the pub of Chengdu Youth Literature and Art, you don't want to leave when you come!

Naive giant pandas, leisure and comfortable teahouses, countless Sichuan snacks, hot pot strings lined up forever ... Chengdu, a city that people can't stop.

West Sichuan | Tianfu Secret Land

Out of Chengdu, all the way down is Ya 'an-Luding-Kangding. The mysterious and wonderful western Sichuan will be displayed in turn, with the majestic domineering of Shushan.

Hailuogou, Gongga Snow Mountain and Shushan began to pave the way. You can see the heroic spirit of Shenshan Mountain in western Sichuan from a distance, cross the Luding Bridge and sing Kangding's love songs all the way to the west.

Zheduo Mountain | Sino-Tibetan Cultural Boundary

Zheduo Mountain is located in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, with an altitude of 4,298 meters, which is the first pass of Kangba. The eastern part of Zheduo Mountain is a mountainous area, and the western part of Zheduo Mountain is the eastern part of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a real Tibetan area.

I really entered the Tibetan area after crossing the Zheduo Mountain. In the past, Zheduo Mountain didn't know the difficulty of Sichuan-Tibet Highway, which was extremely dangerous. Now it has been greatly improved through the transformation of the government.

Xinduqiao | Photography Paradise

The blue sky, rolling mountains, boundless grasslands, gurgling streams, cattle and sheep foraging on the hillside, and Tibetan villages scattered in the distance are not too many. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth. After xinduqiao, you will meet the famous eighteen bends of Tianlu.

Daocheng Aden | Passing through your world

If one day, you are tired of wandering, would I like to accompany you to a place? There are flowers, grass, snow-capped mountains and lakes in spring ... "There is Daocheng Aden.

Sacred and magnificent snow-capped mountains, vast meadows, blue and transparent Haizi and clear and bright moon in the mountains, only those who really reach Daocheng can truly appreciate the beauty of the world here.

The most beautiful scenery of Milk Sea, Five-color Sea, Pearl Sea and Luo Rong Cattle Farm is in Daocheng Aden.

Litang | World High City

Cangyang Jiacuo said: White crane, please lend me your wings. You don't have to fly far, just go back to Litang.

Entering Litang, the vast and magnificent Maoya Prairie stretches on the endless grasslands on both sides of the highway, and the green is deep and shallow. Every summer, under the blue sky, flocks of cattle and sheep, green grass and colorful everywhere.

Mangkang | Yanjing Ancient Yantian

Mangkang ancient salt field has a history of thousands of years, where the only complete original manual salt drying method in the world is preserved, and there are more than 3,000 ancient salt fields.

Salt is a necessity of life, and the salt here has witnessed the glory of the ancient tea-horse road in an era. Although time flies, this artificial primitive way of drying salt is still a beautiful scenery, which is called "the work of sunshine and wind"

Nujiang River | Turn 72

The seventy-two turn of Nujiang River, also known as the ninety-nine bend of Sichuan and Tibet, almost everyone passing by will stop here to record its charm.

Turn 72 climbs from the lowest point at 3 100 meters above sea level to the highest point at Yela Pass at 465 100 meters above sea level, and then spirals down to Bonda Town at 4 100 meters above sea level.

Ranwu Lake | The Pearl on the Sichuan-Tibet Line

There is heaven in the world, but there is darkness under it. As a dazzling pearl on the southern line of Sichuan and Tibet, Ranwu Lake really integrates all the beautiful elements: snow-capped mountains, jungles, clear water, blue sky and white clouds ....

Green pastures, fields and villages bring a fireworks atmosphere to this place. The lake is blue and clear as a mirror. The lake reflects the snow-capped mountains and blue sky, which seems too beautiful to be like a human landscape.

Legao Glacier | Ice Age

Laigu Glacier, adjacent to Ranwu Lake, is one of the three largest glaciers in the world and the source of Palong Zangbo. Water melted by snow and ice flows into Ranwu Lake, surrounded by dense virgin forests and many primitive Tibetan villages.

When you walk into the ancient glaciers, you will see different forms of ice lakes and glaciers, just like returning to the ancient ice age, which can also wash away the secular dust.

The Gift of Linzhi | Yang Nihe

Nyingchi, nourished by Yangni Valley, is the lowest altitude place in Tibet, where there are many snow peaks, dense forests, quiet villages and idyllic scenery, and it is known as "the snowy south of the Yangtze River".

The Yangni River Valley has the most shocking scenery. With the meandering of the river, different scenery will be presented all year round, which is the most poetic and beautiful landscape encountered on the Sichuan-Tibet line.

In spring and summer, the peach blossoms in Yangni River are in full bloom, and the trees are shaded. It is a flowing emerald. Blue sky and white clouds, misty, the river is blue and bottomless, and there are canyons, beaches, Tibetan wooden houses and horses and cattle along the coast, which are beautiful.

Namgyabawa Peak | The most beautiful snow mountain in China.

Chinese national geography once rated Nanga Bawa as "the most beautiful snow mountain in China". The glaciers on the top of the mountain are tall and straight, handsome in shape, and there are often clouds floating in the mountains. At the foot of the mountain is the Jiangnan scenery with dense vegetation.

Nange Bawa almost satisfied everyone's beautiful imagination of the snowy mountain, but it is very lucky to see its true meaning because of the endless sea of clouds all year round.

Lulang Town | Little Switzerland in Tibet

Legend has it that this was once the place where the Dragon King lived. Here is an ancient primeval forest, with green forests all over the mountains, which is very comfortable and quiet.

In Lulang Town, every spring and summer, flowers bloom into the sea, snow-capped mountains abound, cabins are dotted with trees, and streams are gurgling, which seems to be a paradise in Tao Yuanming's works, but it does not live up to the reputation of "making people homesick".

Holy City | Lhasa

There is a Tibet in everyone's heart, and this time we have experienced it all the way and finally reached Lhasa, the end of the southern line of the Sichuan-Tibet line.

Tibet, the closest place to the sky, is high mountains, snowy areas, sunshine, hot springs, holy lakes and Mount Everest ... Go to Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street and Yang Zhuo Yongcuo to enjoy the scenery of Tibet.

Pilgrimage, travel, dreams ... Along the way, there are both bold and wild people walking alone and a group of people accompanying the Milky Way. I believe that the road you walked on the Sichuan-Tibet line will be a precious memory of your life.
