Is it safe to drive in western Sichuan? Where did it happen that a girl lost control of herself and fell into the river? Matters needing attention in go on road trip, western Sichuan

When traveling, the first thing to pay attention to is safety, followed by other issues, especially for friends who go to road trip, they must pay attention to safety when driving, so don't go if the route is unfamiliar.

Is it safe to travel to western Sichuan? Very safe. Pay attention when signing up for a tour. There are basically not too many problems. But if you drive by car, the risk index will definitely increase. After all, you should know that most friends who travel on the road may not be familiar with the road, and may accidentally have accidents or be misunderstood, so everyone must pay attention to safety when traveling.

Going to road trip, 40% of the girls fell into the river on August 6, 2008+2065438, which was the first time that a tourist accident occurred in the West Sichuan Ring Road. The incident occurred in Xinlong County, which needs to pass through the Great Ring Road in western Sichuan, and is the Xinlong section of Daocheng-Litang-Xinlong-Seda.

Judging from the route, these four girls should have set off from Chengdu and set foot on road trip via Ya 'an, Luding and Kangding. After arriving in Litang, they visited Daocheng Aden. After that, I may prepare to arrive in Ganzi from Litang and Xinlong, then visit Seda and return to Chengdu. However, the specific itinerary is temporarily uncertain.

From Litang to Xinlong, take the provincial road S2 17, with a total length of 259 kilometers and a 5-hour drive. The road conditions are better. Although there is a danger of landslides from time to time, in principle, the passage of cars is not a problem. Comparing the road conditions of Jueba Mountain and Haitonggou on National Highway 3 18, it can be said that it is heaven to hell.

But this seemingly paradise road has become a real "paradise" for four girls.

Regarding the Sichuan-Tibet Line and the West Sichuan Ring Road, many people know their dangers, and not every driver can pass the customs all the way. If you are not familiar with the road conditions, you'd better find a motorcade to lead the way, and you can't travel on the road without authorization.

Since 20 17, the road conditions of Sichuan-Tibet line and western Sichuan ring road have been greatly improved. Drivers who walked on National Highway 3 18 many years ago now admit that they can't find the challenge at that time. That's true, but we can't let our guard down. The roads in western Sichuan are rugged, narrow and steep, with steep cliffs above and abyss below. On the one hand, there is the threat of falling rocks, on the other hand, there is a creepy cliff. Old drivers who don't have 654.38 million miles really don't recommend going on the road.

However, there are also some people who, because they arrived at the finish line safely, completed their journey, and all the way was unimpeded, saying that there was no problem with the West Sichuan Ring Line and the Sichuan-Tibet Line and opened them at will. I want to say that this is irresponsible, and it will make other people who go to road trip relax their nervousness about the road conditions, creating an illusion that going to the West Sichuan Ring Road and the Sichuan-Tibet Line in road trip is risk-free, thus creating another tragedy.

In the accident on August 7, all four girls were only children, and three of them already had children. I wonder if they have started reading and dressing. The youngest girl is 24 years old and has just been married for a few months. Four lively girls and eight families. It was just a fall into the river, and the originally happy family was torn apart and became an unfortunate scar with nowhere to vent.

I advise you not to let luck become a bad habit. 3 18 national highway, travel on the road, west Sichuan ring road, you must travel carefully and safely!

Precautions 1. There are many long downhill slopes, so remember not to slide in neutral when going downhill;

2. Don't be tired of driving, and be careful of the cattle and sheep of Tibetan compatriots;

It is best to choose an automatic car. The slope of the mountain road is large, so it is not easy for a car with manual gear to start halfway up the slope;

4. Dachaidan-Dunhuang section, Guazhou-Jiayuguan section, and prone to crosswind. If there is a large vehicle in the opposite lane when passing, please slow down and pull over, especially when encountering a large truck;

5. When parking at high altitude mountain passes, such as Rubber Mountain (3,800 m) and Dayangshu Mountain Pass (4 1.20m), it is best not to turn off the engine. Cars, like people, will have altitude sickness, and they may not catch fire when they are turned off.

6. Check the vehicle before departure every day: before departure every day, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle, including whether there is oil leakage or water leakage (check whether there are traces of oil and sewage on the ground under the vehicle); Measure the tire pressure to see if it is appropriate; Check the oil condition (pull out the dipstick to see if the oil color on it is normal and the oil height is appropriate); Don't forget to check whether the spare tire is in good condition;

7. Traffic accidents caused by flat tires at high speed are the most frequent and dangerous. So before going out, be sure to check the wear on the tire surface to see if there are bumps and cracks on the surface and if there are any hard injuries caused by blunt objects. If there is such a situation, it must be repaired before going out;

8. If you take the Zhangye-Qilian section, the Heimahe-Chaka Salt Lake section, there are many mountain roads, and the bends are often many and urgent. At this time, if you are not sure whether there is a car coming ahead, you must not overtake or occupy the road in the corner, and you should slow down and whistle before turning; It should be noted that some riders like to cut corners, but when driving on mountain roads, don't cut corners into the opposite lane!

9. Prepare medicines: Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets, furazolidone, various nutritional tablets, vitamin tablets, wound dressings, essential balm, tiger balm, motion sickness medicine, etc.
