What equipment and how much do you need to bring when cycling from Chengdu to Tibet this summer vacation? Is it dangerous to take national highway 3 18?

Vehicles are best equipped with V-type brakes for easy maintenance.

1, sunscreen tools: hat, sunscreen, glasses (of course, you don't need to bring them, but high-altitude ultraviolet rays are very strong, which is easy to burn your skin);

2, simple car repair tools (at that time, I bought the simplest kind of car repair tools in Boer, which cost more than ten dollars, but more cumbersome);

3. Prepare an inner tube, a pair of brake shoes and a brake line;

4. Bring a few spare screws (some sections have not been repaired, and it is easy to knock off the screws on the back shelf when bumping);

5. Carrying a bag on the back shelf (backpacks are not recommended);

6, cycling clothes personally feel unnecessary, bring two sets of clothes, and it is more convenient to thicken the coat, preferably the coat. For shoes, it is recommended to add a pair of rubber shoes and sandals, preferably a split raincoat. Gloves are recommended. Use threaded gloves; Bring toiletries (personal hygiene should be paid attention to)

7. You don't need to bring a sleeping bag. Take the tent on 3 18, and there are hotels along the way.

8. Electronic equipment: mobile phone (Unicom's mobile phone will do), camera, computer if it is not too heavy (some hotels provide free Internet access, but the speed is a bit ~ ~), and it is convenient and not heavy to bring a flashlight. A hair dryer can help us blow away clothes.

9. Others like to bring their own things, such as people who like reading and writing. However, it is necessary to bring a small notebook for us to record along the way.

10, it is recommended to use the card of Agricultural Bank of China, which is available in small towns and is convenient to withdraw money.

1 1. It's also useful to bring some medicine, mainly glucoside muscle tablets, rhodiola, notoginseng medicine and plaster (you will feel pain in your legs and waist after riding a bike for the first few days, and it will be much better if you wear it).

12, put a sheath of more than ten yuan on your cushion, so that pp will be more comfortable.

expense

This aspect is the most frequently asked. In the previous raiders, it was said that 2500 was enough, but now it is said that it is not enough. At the price of 3 18, you will be very sad and unable to eat.

Room rate: 12 When I left in summer, the room rate was above 20. 10 The conditions were very poor every night, most of them were 30-40, and only 30 people were in the standard room of Zuogong Yuxue Hotel, which was very cost-effective. I wonder if it will go up this year. Based on an average of 30 nights, it takes at least 22 days to walk, so the room rate is 660 yuan.

Eat: This is the most expensive. Because of the traffic, food is very expensive. A stir-fried dish costs more than 20 yuan, and a bowl of noodles 15 yuan (fried rice is the same). At noon, I often eat my own dry food. One day's meals are calculated at 45, so 22 days' meals should be 990 yuan.

From the above, the lowest cost of food and accommodation is 990+660= 1650 yuan, which is only the minimum consumption. Those big meals will be missed.

Other expenses are up to you.

safe

1. First of all, the southern part of the Sichuan-Tibet line is so far, and the danger is more or less there. It depends not only on the road conditions, but also on your own skills. You must drive carefully. Moreover, if it is steep, you must slow down. When going downhill, the curve is steep. The slope is steep in some places, so be careful. There are many landslides in the first section of the natural barrier, especially in the rainy season, so we should pay special attention to it; Now (March 13 news said that the section from Yajiang to Litang is still under construction, and the road is not easy to walk), some sections are still being repaired, and attention should be paid to the narrow traffic.

Secondly, many things people ask are about robbery. I can't guarantee that there is absolutely no such thing, but when I left, I didn't hear the truth about the robbery among my riders, and many of them were based on rumors. However, you'd better be careful. If you are worried about some sections, it is recommended that several people go together, which is more stable.

3. About children "grabbing things" and "asking for things". This does exist, but they are just curious about what you want. In this case, please don't panic, just say no to them and leave, and they won't embarrass you. Furthermore, don't put your small parts (such as glasses, snacks, etc. ) in exposed places such as car front bags.

Finally, since we have chosen this road, we must be confident to finish it. There must be difficulties. If we stick to the end, we will feel very happy. When you start to enter Tibetan areas after Tianquan, you must respect their beliefs and don't have any conflict with them. On this road, you will get the most sincere wishes from many strangers.
