22

is destined to be an extraordinary year

The epidemic is raging, and almost everyone's fate has been rewritten

Some people are unemployed, some people have their salaries reduced, and some people are grounded ............................................................................................... Here we are, four friends from different professions, photographer Yun Ze, aerial photographer Qingkong, car blogger, brother Che Jun, and emotional blogger Mango Jun.. All of them have arrived at the designated location, and their luggage is loaded and ready to go.

Breakfast is essential. This time, the journey takes more than five hours one way. Only when you have a good breakfast can you get through this long journey.

During the trip, as usual, the four brothers took a group photo as a souvenir.

Lunch

At noon, we arrived at Hanyuan, and a pot of beef was served, so that our journey was about to begin.

in the first half, the roads we traveled were mainly highways and national highways. After eating this pot of meat, our journey of road tiger and ice and snow was officially started.

Travel begins

When we set foot on this road, we will know that our journey has begun. At this time, we should cheer up and welcome the beautiful scenery of Jiaoding Mountain. Yes, this trip, we are here for the snow scene of Jiaoding Mountain. Why did you choose Jiaoding Mountain? When we set foot on such a road, we will know that our journey has begun. At this time, we should cheer up and welcome the beautiful scenery of Jiaoding Mountain. Yes, this trip, we are here for the snow scene of Jiaoding Mountain. Why did you choose Jiaoding Mountain?

maybe this is the charm of cars. The four of us are avid self-driving tourists. In our spare time, we drive different brands of cars to experience the pleasure on the road, and by the way, we can enjoy our dream poems and distant places. This way of cultivation also makes us work harder on weekdays. Immediately, get to the point, travel notes officially began.

Travel Notes Officially Began

Jiaoding Mountain, located in Hanyuan County, is about 35 kilometers away from Chengdu, and it can be reached in 4 to 5 hours by car. The first half of the journey is expressway and provincial highway, but the second half of the journey is mostly Panshan Township Road and Shashi Road.

The average elevation of Jiaoding Mountain is over 3, meters, and it is extremely cold in winter. Summer is fresh and cool. Climb high and have a panoramic view of the mountains. Looking at the sea of clouds in Emei in the north, the white waves are rolling and endless; Looking at Gongga Xuefeng in the south, it is outstanding and dazzling, and the peak blade is straight into the blue sky. When the clouds steamed and fog circled, a sea of clouds formed on the mountainside, and the peak of Qian Shan was exposed in the clouds, just like an island in the sea of clouds, which was transformed by the wind and varied.

In order to climb the summit smoothly in winter, we drove a four-wheel drive Land Rover. The temperature on Jiaoding Mountain changed greatly. From the foot of the mountain to the mountain, it was a microcosm of the alternation of autumn and winter. We just arrived halfway up the mountain and could see a little green.

but if we continue to drive up, the ice and snow will become thicker and thicker, and the atmosphere in winter will become thicker and thicker. The road began to freeze, and the road became more and more difficult to walk.

As the altitude rises, the temperature drops sharply, the roads become more and more difficult, and the snow and ice are getting heavier and heavier. Therefore, I sincerely suggest that tourists should drive safely with a 4-wheel drive or an SUV. This kind of road will definitely lead to such things as scratching the site, and wheel skidding will certainly occur. If necessary, take anti-skid shoes with them.

Another advantage of driving by car is that you can continuously enjoy the scenery along the way and feel the different levels and rich regional construction changes. Although it is already late autumn, the original place still has different levels of color and agility. A few days ago, I witnessed the sunrise and sunset of Gongga Snow Mountain and the rising of the starry sky in the cloudless western Sichuan Plateau of Wan Li, marveling at the vagaries of nature. However, I didn't expect that a few days later, we were in the Jiaoding Mountain, which is much lower than the altitude in western Sichuan, but we were trapped in the snow and ice clouds.

The way up the mountain

Compared with other scenic spots dominated by mountains, the biggest advantage of Jiaoding Mountain is that it can drive directly to the top of the mountain, but I didn't expect that this became the most painful process for many self-driving enthusiasts. This trip up the mountain is far more exciting than we thought. Although the four of us don't drive less at ordinary times, on this narrow and steep mountain road, I am strong enough to sweat for Brother Jun who is driving. However, seeing your brother, he is still calmly driving, and he is in close cooperation with Land Rover's full-time four-wheel drive.

the difficulty of driving on a rugged mountain road is not only the road conditions, but also the meeting of cars on this narrow rural road. Whenever there is a car coming from the opposite direction, we carefully choose to park in as spacious a position as possible, so that the other side can go down the mountain safely. Of course, we will also meet friends who park in advance and let us go up the mountain first. There is nothing to say. Let's whistle and thank you.

Taking photos on the road

In fact, we often travel, and it's hard to say what kind of scenery attracts our attention, but we still can't help taking a lot of photos and videos. Perhaps this is instinct, and we instinctively want to share what we see and hear with you. There's nothing to say. Let's take a look at the photos first.

Climbing to the top

There is a long gravel road above the Jiaoding Mountain, as you can see in the picture, and the slope is very steep. Indeed, Land Rover finds that sports are full of motivation, which is much easier than driving a car. The key is that it is also comfortable to sit up. The Jiaoding Mountain we saw when we came up is really like the rumor. It is a place that depends entirely on luck. If we are lucky, it will be a starry sea of clouds and a snowy mountain at sunrise. If you are unlucky, there will be heavy snow and it will be difficult to walk.

obviously, we belong to the latter, and now we are really struggling. But when it comes, it's safe. When it comes, we can't go back now. I ate my own instant noodles in the tent, drank the beer I brought, listened to the sound of snow outside the tent, and talked about the past, present and future.

By the way, the accommodation we booked was in Camp One: it was at the top of Jiaoding Mountain. In principle, this is an excellent place to watch the sunrise in the sea of clouds and the Milky Way in the starry sky. The vision is very broad, and the three-person tent is very distinctive. It is completely fine to live there when the weather is good, but if we encounter such weather as we are now, let alone the starry sky, there is no sunrise in the sea of clouds, which is particularly cold. How cold is it? After a night, when we opened the door, we saw the following scene.

after a night, the sky is white, and all the fences are covered with snow and ice.

The road signs on the top of the mountain are also covered with snow and ice.

Look at our car, Land Rover, which has been blown by snow and ice all night, is all frozen and hairy. Jiaodingshan, we gave up this time. Although it didn't go well this time, I will definitely punch in this place again, because it snows beautifully, and it's sunny?
