Travel guide from Chengdu to Tibet

There are two months of leisure time in summer vacation, which is the best time to go to go on road trip. If you choose to travel to Tibet, how is it appropriate to start from Chengdu to road trip? The following are the strategies for traveling from Chengdu to Tibet. Let's have a look!

It takes 1 1 day to start from Chengdu and enter Tibet along National Highway 3 18, and then leave Golmud, Qinghai. The whole journey is about 35 14 km (including the distance to and from scenic spots along the way). Among them, Chengdu to Lhasa took 7 days and the whole journey was 2084 kilometers; Yang Yongcuo's visit 1 day, round trip 25 1 km; Visit the Potala Palace, Barkhor Street and Jokhang Temple in Lhasa 1 day; It takes 2 days to go to Golmud in Lhasa, and the whole journey is 1 179 km.

The 35 14 km highway from Chengdu to Golmud is basically a national highway with many slopes and bends, and the road conditions are complex, which is a test for drivers' driving skills and physical endurance. But this section of the road is the most beautiful self-driving road in China, with changeable scenery and unlimited scenery. It's really worth a visit!

Mileage, altitude, accommodation, scenic spots along the way and some precautions are arranged as follows, hoping to provide you with some reference and help.

Route: Chengdu-xinduqiao

Mileage: 350 kilometers

Time: 7 hours (8: 00- 15: 00)

Attractions: Erlang Mountain Tunnel, Dadu River Bridge, Zheduo Mountain (4298m above sea level), xinduqiao Tibetan Village.

Accommodation: xinduqiao (3460m above sea level).

Precautions:

After crossing Zheduo Pass, most people will have high-incidence symptoms, mainly manifested as headache and asthma, especially when driving from Zheduo Pass to xinduqiao, they will have serious drowsiness and lethargy, so be sure to pay attention to driving safety!

Personally, I think the best way to relieve hyperreflexia is to rest and take oral glucose solution.

There are many hotels in xinduqiao town, and tourists can choose to stay according to their own needs.

Although July is the peak season in the south of the Sichuan-Tibet line, it is relatively easy to find a hotel in xinduqiao.

Most hotels have restaurants where tourists can eat nearby.

the next day

Route: xinduqiao-Batang

Mileage: 368 kilometers

Time: 10 hour (8: 30— 18: 30)

Attractions: Tianlu Chai Quan Bend, Rizhao Jinshan, Litang Chengmen (elevation 395 1 m), Maoya Grassland (average elevation 3700 m) and Haizishan Sister Lake (elevation 4685 m).

Accommodation: Batang (2600 meters above sea level)

Precautions:

After the previous day's high reflex, the body adjusted itself and has basically adapted to the plateau environment. The next day, all day, on the Sichuan-Tibet line at an altitude of more than 4000 meters, there is usually no obvious hyperreflexia.

There are still many hotels in Batang, and there is no pressure on accommodation.

Although many hotels in Batang also have restaurants, it is recommended to find a special restaurant in the county and have a good meal.

Restaurants in Batang County are very popular, and many restaurants of online celebrities need to queue up. It is difficult to stop while eating during the tourist season.

Batang county is 2600 meters above sea level, and there are no high-incidence symptoms. You can have a good meal and take a bath.

Precautions:

The road from Batang to Zuogong is the most difficult road to the south of the whole Sichuan-Tibet line. Among them, Batang-Mangkang section often collapses, with many sections to be built and poor road conditions. Be mentally prepared!

On the way over Jueba Mountain, there are often falling rocks on the right cliff; On the left side of Lancang Grand Canyon, there is no guardrail. Be sure to be safe!

The price of gasoline in Zuoxian County is 65438+ higher than that in other places in 0 yuan. If you want to save money, you can add it elsewhere in advance or later.

After crossing 5 100 meters of Dongguan and arriving at Zuogong County, there will be more serious symptoms of hyperreflexia. It is recommended to book a hotel in advance, take a rest after check-in, and then go out for dinner.

Nujiang 72 map

Wuzhen is more than 3,900 meters above sea level, but after several days of adjustment and adaptation, the body has been able to withstand such an altitude. Therefore, there is no obvious hyperreflexia in Ranwu Town.

However, Wuzhen is an important tourist destination with complete supporting facilities. From small wooden houses to container hotels, there are all kinds of hotels, and the prices range from more than one hundred to several thousand yuan. You can easily find a hotel that suits you.

Precautions:

If you want to go to Medog from the south of the Sichuan-Tibet line, you have to go south from Bomi. The road from Bomi to Medog is extremely poor, and it is difficult for cars to pass.

Precautions:

Now Linzhi is much more convenient to Lhasa. Linla Highway is a high-speed free highway with smooth traffic.

If you take Linla Highway, you will miss many scenic spots on G3 18, such as Milla Mountain Pass and so on. But G3 18 is parallel to most sections of Linla Highway. If you have enough time and want to see the scenery on G3 18, you can drive between two expressway. There are many exits on Lin Highway, so it is easy to switch between the two highways.

Precautions:

On the way from Lhasa to Yongcuo, Yang Zhuo, there are many ticket outlets in Yongcuo, Yang Zhuo, and the words "Please purchase tickets consciously" are posted in conspicuous positions of the ticket outlets. In fact, the tickets sold by these ticket outlets are tickets for an observation deck on the top of the mountain. You don't have to buy a ticket if you don't enter. Zhuoyong fault is on the roadside, so you can visit it for free.

The best place to shoot the panoramic view of Yang Zhuo Yongcuo is not at the top of the mountain, but at the observation deck of 10 yuan.

There are yaks and Tibetan mastiffs on the bank of Yanghu Lake for people to take pictures, and the photo fee is 10 yuan. If you don't want to take pictures with animals, don't point your mobile phone or camera at them, or the animal owner will hold you until you take out 10 yuan (yes, this is my experience).
