G3 17 road trip Raiders of Sichuan-Tibet Northern Line

Going to G3 17 road trip, north of Sichuan-Tibet line, there are many scenery along the way, which is recognized as a scenic avenue, but it is much more difficult to drive. So what are the interesting places in road trip in the northern section of G3 17 Sichuan-Tibet Line? I'd like to recommend a tour route for you.

The northern line of Sichuan-Tibet line is different from the southern line of Sichuan-Tibet line. It is the route to Tibet and the main road for the transportation of military materials. The state attaches great importance to it, and the road conditions will not be bad.

The northern line G3 17 was originally a supplementary line from Sichuan to Tibet, and the cities along the line were not as rich as the southern line. The country has not paid so much attention to it, and there is no money to maintain and build roads, which leads to very bad road conditions.

Passengers who took G3 17 more than ten years ago couldn't even believe it was a national highway, and even nicknamed it a "fake national highway".

Because the place it crosses is more remote than G3 18, with higher altitude and more canyons and mountains, and the realistic factors of poor road conditions at that time, it is more difficult to drive than G3 18.

Nowadays, with the improvement of national infrastructure, the road conditions of G3 17 are much better than before. Next, walk west along the northern section of the G3 17 Sichuan-Tibet line, see the wonderful natural scenery and cultural relics, and understand the difference between it and G3 18.

Along the way, there are not only paper and ink holy places Dege, Yulong Lacuo and Xitian Yaochi, but also Queer Mountain, Zheluo Temple, the city of the sky and Namco, once the first dangerous lake in Sichuan and Tibet.

0 10 to 10 10 When I entered Wenchuan and came to the Qiang people's inhabited area, I entered the world of Qiang culture. As one of the oldest cultures in the world, both Chinese culture and Tibetan culture are related to it.

The first stop is Wenchuan.

An earthquake attracted the attention of the whole world.

From Chengdu to Dujiangyan and then to Wenchuan, this road is actually on G2 13, leaving Sichuan Basin along Minjiang River and entering Hengduan Mountain Area. So, just out of Chengdu, you can quickly feel the oppressive feeling brought by the Hengduan Mountains, and the magnificent scenery composed of majestic peaks and steep valleys is endless.

As soon as I entered Qionglai Mountain, the first town I met was Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan, the south gate of Aba Prefecture. 14 years ago, this town was unfortunately in the epicenter and was almost completely destroyed.

Now the town has been rebuilt, leaving the Yingxiu epicenter site, and * * * has become the largest site of the 5. 12 earthquake.

From Wenchuan to the west along Zagunao River, one of the tributaries of Minjiang River, we arrived in Lixian County. It is not only the first county that G3 17 officially entered the west, but also an excellent place to experience the combination of beauty and danger in the Hengduan mountainous areas such as Bipenggou and miyaluo.

If you have enough time, you can take G347 to Aba County, and then go to Lianbao Yeze. Sign a safety agreement and you can drive in and camp.

Wenchuan County is 204 kilometers away from Malcolm City, and it takes about 3 hours and 20 minutes by car. Take G3 17 all the way through Lixian, miyaluo and Zhegu Mountain, and you can reach Marcand.

The second stop is Marcand.

From Mosuo to Tusi Guanzhai

Leave the Minjiang River Basin, enter the Dajinchuan River Basin, go west along G3 17, cross the Zhegu Mountain Tunnel, and reach Mosuo.

Hehe was named after Mosuo toast, one of Jia Rong's eighteen toasts. Mosuo is a branch of Jiarong Tibetans, and together with the territory of Zhuokeji, Songgang and Danba, it forms the embryonic form of Marcand administrative region.

Because it is located at the junction of China and Tibet, and close to the Han nationality area, it has a high degree of sinicization. Most people can speak Jia Rong and Chinese.

Then go west along the Mosuo River and reach Marcand. Marcand is the first high-altitude city in the northern part of the Sichuan-Tibet line and the capital of Aba Prefecture. When you first hear about this city, some people may wonder why its name is like a person's name.

Because of the name of Malkin Makang Temple, which was built by a living Buddha named Makang, Chinese can be translated into malkin.

On the Mosuo River, there is a Tusi Site-Zhuokeji Tusi Guanzhai, where Zhuokeji, one of Jia Rong's eighteen Tusi, once lived and worked. During the Long March of the Red Army, Chairman Mao and other central leaders lived here for a week, and then crossed the grassland to the north.

If you have seen Alai's Dust Settled, you may be familiar with it, because of public relations.

Between Marcand and Guanyin Bridge, there is a line S2 1 1 connected with G248, which can be used by network celebrities to enter Jinchuan Valley. Every year from mid-March to early April, the whole Jinchuan Valley will be full of pear blossoms, which are very beautiful. Marcand is 70 kilometers away from Guanyinqiao Town, and the driving time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Continue on G3 17 via Songgang Town, Bai Wan Township and Wengu Village, and reach Guanyinqiao Town along Duke River.

Qiang-Tibetan cultural area

Folk custom in western Sichuan is a local culture developed under the unique geographical and historical conditions in western Sichuan. It is quite different from the Central Plains culture, but it shows the characteristics of integration where it meets the Central Plains culture.

Sanzhan Guanyin bridge

guanyin temple

1500 years ago, Tao Yuanming created a quaint and natural peach blossom garden, which was sought after by countless descendants. With a comfortable life, it has become a paradise for people to forget the world.

Guanyin Bridge, in the eyes of many people seeking Taoyuan, is just a place. People with small bridges and flowing water and pilgrims with firm beliefs have become the most beautiful scenery in the town.

In fact, Guanyinqiao Town was named after the Kannongji built by 1850. It was also a post station in Tibet in ancient times, so the name of Kannongji in the town is Chinese.

Kannonji, one of the three Guanyin Dojo in China, is a sacred place in the hearts of many believers. It is said that three pilgrimages are equivalent to a visit to Potala Palace.

Leave Guanyin Bridge and go west. There is a fork in front of Sequ Bridge. If you want to go to Seda, you can go north through G227, cross Wuyi Township and Tang Ran to banma county, then turn G548 south to Seda, and finally return to G3 17. If you have time, this route is worth visiting. Rangtang culture and Seda culture are very rich, and it is also a corridor of Qiang and Tibetan culture, where you can experience Qiang and Tibetan culture in depth.

Guanyin Town is 0/85km away from Luhuo County/Kloc-,and it takes about 3 hours and 20 minutes by car. Along the Duke River and Sequ, it passes through Puxi Town, Shili Township, Wengda Town, Laozheshan Tunnel and Nibi Township to Luhuo County.

Huoxian has no special cultural landscape, but it is actually a transportation hub. To the south, you can take G350 and G248 to Tagong Grassland and xinduqiao, and then connect with G3 18, the southern line of sichuan-tibet railway.

You can also take G350 directly through Siguniang Mountain to Yingxiu Town, which is the famous Panda Avenue on the Internet.

But out of the county seat, you can meet a lake-Casa Lake, as clear as the jasper of Chonggu Town. When migratory birds migrate, you can see the spectacular natural scenery of waterfowl here.

From Y004 on Lake Casa to the northwest, you can go to Sitongda Township, where there is a Mi Long, which is a famous mountain in Duokang area. Legend has it that 30 generals were trained by the King Gelsall Garrison.

Go west along G3 17, climb the Rogge Liangziguan at an altitude of 3,980 meters, enter the Yalong River Basin, and Ganzi will arrive.

This is an important post station of the ancient tea-horse road, and it is also the place where Gesar culture spreads the most widely and inherits the most.

King Gelsall City, built on the ruins of the Battle of Hollin and the Biography of King Gesar, one of the three great epics in the world, is a scenic spot with obvious artificial traces, next to G3 17, and it is a good window for travelers who want to know about Gesar culture.

Ganzi County is 0/84km away from Dege County/KLOC-0, and the driving time is about 3 hours and 45 minutes. From Ganzi County to the west, take G3 17, take Fault A Town, Manigango Town and Yulong Lacuo, then pass Queershan Tunnel, and then pass through Keluodong Township to Dege.

Fifth stop, Dege

Tibetan cultural holy land

There is a beautiful lake-Yulong Lacuo, also known as Xinluhai, between Ganzi County and dege county, which was once called "the first danger of Sichuan and Tibet".

Yulacuo, known as the "Yaochi in the West", is a pearl on G3 17 in northern sichuan-tibet railway, with few tourists. The best scenic spot is the small slope on the roadside. When the weather is good, you can meet Rizhao Jinshan earlier.

Queer Mountain, with an altitude of 6 168 meters and a mountain pass with an altitude of 5050 meters, was once the only pass of the old Sichuan-Tibet Highway. However, with the opening of Queershan Tunnel at an altitude of 4,378 meters, the old road was in disrepair, with serious landslides and rocky terrain, and few people visited it except cross-country explorers.

Through th

Unlike Buddhist colleges, it is difficult for Indian academies to grow and develop. If you want to see the same production process of Tibetan scriptures as more than 200 years ago, you can only do it early. Once you disappear into time, you will never see it again.

If you are not in a hurry to cross Queer Mountain, you can choose to take S456 in Manibango Town at the foot of Queer Mountain to Shiqu County and meet Songmani City.

It is 93 kilometers away from Jiangda County, dege county, and it takes about 2 hours and 20 minutes by car. From Gongya Town to the south via Gangtuo Tunnel, then via Jinsha River to Gangtuo Village, then via Ailaoshan Tunnel to Tongpu Township, and then along Ziqu River to Jiangda County.

Western Sichuan folk-custom area

Kangba, also known as Kangba area, is one of the three Tibetan inhabited areas in China. On the natural landscape, plateau lakes and green grasslands are all refreshing; In national culture, there are countless festivals throughout the year, from mid-winter to midsummer, to autumn, spring, Jockey Club, Golden Horse Festival and Autumn Festival.

The sixth stop, Jiangda

The mysterious Taoyuan is hidden in it.

From Dege to the south, through the Gangtuo tunnel, and then through the Jinsha River, officially left Sichuan and entered Tibet Jiangda.

When the People's Liberation Army 18 Army crossed the Jinsha River from here, it took only one day to repel the Tibetan troops stationed in Gangtuo Village, successfully liberating Gangtuo Village and becoming the "first village of Tibet liberation".

Xueba Xiangshui Mountain Villa, hidden deep in the mysterious land of Xuebagou, not only solves the accommodation problem of Gangtuo Town, but also can be closer to the Snow Mountain Canyon, just like a paradise far away from the world.

Among them, you can see the beautiful scenery of canyons, rivers and snow-capped mountains when you open the window. Looking up, the vertical natural scenery belt of the snow-capped mountains is very obvious and shocking.

After that, it passes through Ailaoshan Tunnel at an altitude of 3,970 meters and Xuejilashan Pass at an altitude of 4,240 meters to reach the Lancang River Basin.

Daxian County is 230 kilometers away from Changdu City, and the driving time is about 4 hours and 45 minutes. All the way to G3 17, parallel to the nearby Tania Antong Mountain, passing through Kagong Township, Qingmudong Township, Tuoba Township, and then south to Qamdo City in Chaiwei Township.

Seventh stop, Qamdo

The key to the peaceful liberation of Tibet

Changdu, the most important city in eastern Tibet, actually entered the official roads and post stations in Tibet during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The route of this postal route generally coincides with the 3 18 national highway in Sichuan. After entering Tibet, it will meander between National Highway 3 17 and National Highway 3 18, along Mangkang Mountain, Jingshan Mountain and Taniantong Mountain in eastern Tibet, and then from Qamdo to the west, passing through Suoxian County and Dangxiong in Quxia Town to Lhasa, and passing through meadows and grasslands in northern Tibet, which is roughly the same as today's 3 17. -Editor-in-Chief Cai Ye. Eight lines into Tibet [M]. Beijing United Publishing Company, March 20 19.

Qamdo is also the key to the peaceful liberation of Tibet by the People's Liberation Army and the decisive point of "promoting peace through war". When the battle of Qamdo on 19 ended with the absolute victory of the People's Liberation Army, Tibet also achieved the goal of peaceful liberation.

To the north and west of Qamdo are Zhaqu and Angqu. These two rivers merged into the Lancang River after entering Changdu, so the name of Lancang River started from Changdu.

The roads from Changdu to Luwuqi are on the same line as G3 17 and G2 14. This road, before 20 19, must pass through Zhujila Mountain (4,688 meters, 4,600 meters), which is known as the "Gate of Death". Later, the Zhujila Mountain Tunnel was opened to traffic, and the mountain was no longer an obstacle to Tibet.

Of course, if you want to experience the old road, you can go straight up in Zhugu Village. The disadvantage is that due to the opening of the tunnel, the old road lacks maintenance and it is more difficult and dangerous to walk.

After crossing the tunnel, we soon reached the intersection of G2 14 and G3 17, which can also be said to be the intersection of the official road to Tibet and the ancient roads of Tang and Fan.

Wuqi County is 0/42km away from Dingqing County/KLOC-,and the driving time is about 3 hours and 20 minutes. Take G3 17 via Kamadao Township, Jueen Township and Shagong Township to Dingqing County; Zheluo Temple is located between Jueen Township and Shagong Township. You need to change from G3 17 to Y535 and take Panshan Road to get there.

Kangba style Duan

Out of Ding Qing, basically here.

Ding, located between Taningtao Mountain and Nyainqentanglha Mountain in Nujiang River Basin, was once the center of Xianggong. In the west of the county seat, there is a Zizhu Mountain at an altitude of 4,800 meters.

On the mountain stands a temple with a history of more than 3,000 years-Zheluo Temple. It is said that the Buddha came here to preach dharma and bless.

It is not only one of the best-preserved Bonism temples in Kangqu, but also one of the Dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, with more than 3,000 monks in its heyday.

If you are interested in Sapu Mountain, you can pass through Baqing County, Suo County and Ruxian County in Zhala Township, and pass through Lacuoduo, Chakua Village, Zhaxueduo, Zamaduo and Chalong Village in Ruxian County. Then, take G558 to the southeast, go to Yang Xiu Township for trimming, and finally go to Sapu Shenshan. oneself

Dingxian county is 476 kilometers away from Naqu city, and the driving time is about 8 hours and 40 minutes. From Dingqing to G3 17, via Xielashan Tunnel to Baqing County, and then via Suoxian County, Zhala Township, Quxia Town, Daqian Township and Kongma Township to Naqu City.

Alpine grassland area

Compared with the Himalayas in the south and Kunlun Mountain in the north, Nyainqentanglha Mountain is slightly low-key. It is not a mountain that divides national boundaries and provincial boundaries, but forms an important natural dividing line between the north and the south of Tibet with Gangdise Mountain.

The ninth stop Naqu

nagqu grassland

Naqu, once the destination of old G3 17, is no longer the destination, but the hub, from which G3 17 continues to extend to Arigur in the northwest.

Namtso, the God Lake in the sky, has become the most fascinating place because of its different blue flames in different seasons. Sometimes, you just need to stand by for a few minutes on the lake and see dreamy blue dance music with your own eyes.

Generally speaking, travelers will go to Qinglong Township, and then go to Tianmen, the sign next to Namco. However, due to the division of the core area, buffer area and experimental area of Namco North Coast Nature Reserve, the scenic spot has been closed.

Tianmen, Sheng Xiang is located in the core of nature reserve. According to the existing relevant laws and regulations, no unit, individual or tourist is allowed to enter the core area.

Therefore, we can only go to Zhaxi Peninsula on the south bank of Namco, but at present, the accommodation facilities on the peninsula have been demolished, and catering accommodation is no longer provided, which is more suitable for travelers with camping needs.

Of course, if you are already tired, you can also take Nala Expressway G6 directly in Naqu and step on the gas pedal to Lhasa.

If you are interested, you can walk all the way from Naqu to Ali along G3 17, but if you are in Tibet for the first time or don't have much time, you can directly take G 109 or Nala Expressway G6 to Lhasa. As G 109 is the main logistics channel leading to Tibet, there are many speed limits and large trucks along the way. If you encounter a traffic jam, you will be stuck in the traffic jam until you collapse. It is suggested that you can take Nala Expressway G6 instead of Namtso.

Nash is 332 kilometers away from Lhasa, and it takes about 5 hours and 35 minutes by car. Go south in Naqu, G 109, cross Dangxiong and go to Lhasa; Or take Nala Expressway G6 directly, and you can reach Lhasa in 4 hours.
