The new Tibet highway of the new Tibet line is the west line.

Xinjiang-Tibet Highway (Kashi-Shiquan River) is a new line opened by 1957, which can be described as the western line of Xinjiang-Tibet.

In the past, the Xinzang Highway was the most arduous, persevering, harsh and sparsely populated extreme cycling route in the hearts of many cyclists who loved cycling, and the difficulty was twice that of the Sichuan-Tibet Line. Take the road that others can't take and see the scenery that others have never seen, which probably speaks the voice of the donkey friends who choose the new Tibet line. There is a jingle in the circle that loves cycling: "It is as difficult to ride the Xinzang Line as the Shu Road; Di Ku's big board is dangerous, just like the gate of hell; Mazoda Sakamoto, a steep rise of 5300; Heikada Sakamoto, ninety-nine bends; Jieshan reached a bend and reached out to touch the sky. " —— However, in October, 20 10-20 13+438+00 10, the new Tibet Highway was completed and opened to traffic, and the whole line has become an asphalt highway, and the situation is much better.

The Xinjiang-Tibet Highway is an important traffic artery in western Tibet, with an altitude of 130 km, which is the highest highway in the world. This is the most difficult route to Tibet. Although the scenery is not as gorgeous as the Sichuan-Tibet line, it is also magnificent. Along the way, this route will cross more than ten snow-capped mountains with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, cross Kunlun Mountain and Gangdise Mountain, go south along the northern foot of the Himalayas, and cross the vast western wasteland. The whole line is mostly endless Gobi, desert and snow-covered mountains all year round, and there are often no people for hundreds of kilometers. Because of this, you can see herds of wild animals such as Tibetan donkeys and antelopes, and the scene is very spectacular. Along the way, you can also enjoy the ever-changing Karakorum Mountain, the ruins of Guge Kingdom, Qi Feng in Rinpo, Yongcuo in Mabian, the Holy Lake and Sakya Temple, the birthplace of Yellow Religion.

Continuous snow-capped mountains, dense lakes and wild animals everywhere make it a paradise for explorers. To truly understand all this, people and cars have to go through the test of the plateau, share joys and sorrows, and their hearts will feel more fulfilled.

At present, the new Tibet line is the main channel for goods and people entering and leaving Ali, Tibet. But for travelers, if they want to explore and see the scenery of the new Tibet line, it is best to start from Lhasa. Because in the short three-day journey from Yecheng to Ali, the altitude rose sharply from 1300 to 6000m, with a height difference of nearly 4700m m. People's figure will change greatly because of this huge height difference. If you continue to drive to Lhasa, it will take nearly 10 days, which is a great test for your health and perseverance. Starting from Lhasa, my body has adapted to the complex and changeable climate of the plateau. At present, there are no buses on the Xinjiang-Tibet highway, and the traffic mainly depends on hitchhiking and renting a car.
