I want to drive from Shandong to Xinjiang. How much will it cost?

I'm from Shandong, and I've been decorating in Xinjiang for ten years. Because I have to drag tools everywhere in my line of work, it is unrealistic to call a taxi without a car. It is much more convenient to have a car. I drive every year after the New Year, and I drive back for the New Year in winter. Ran back and forth more than 20 times. How much does it cost to drive from Shandong to Xinjiang? I can say I have the most say in answering this question.

First of all, Xinjiang is very large, with a length of about 1950 km from east to west, which is several hundred kilometers farther than Jinan in Shandong and Guangzhou in Guangdong. The length from north to south is about 1550 km, which is dozens of kilometers farther than Jinan, Shandong Province to Chongqing. Depending on where you go in Xinjiang, the cost will vary greatly. This spring, I went from Qufu, Shandong Province to Tacheng, Xinjiang, and briefly talked about the whole journey and cost.

Let's talk about which expressway is the most suitable from Shandong to Xinjiang.

Now you use navigation when driving. The general navigation from Shandong to Xinjiang will mark three routes for you. If you start from Jiaodong, the navigation will recommend you to take the three expressways of Jingxin, Yin Qing and Lianhuo. The first recommendation is continuous living; Starting from Shandong Lunan area is the same as starting from Qingdao area; From Luxi to Lubei, the Navigation Association suggests taking Jingxin Expressway and Yin Qing Expressway, and Yin Qing Expressway is the first choice.

But no matter where you go from Shandong to Xinjiang, I suggest you take the Yin Qing Expressway, because I have passed all these expressways, and the Yin Qing Expressway is the nearest.

If you take Lianhuo Expressway, it is the highway artery connecting the east and west of China. Too busy, there are too many cars on the road, especially large trucks, and it will be particularly tiring to drive all the way.

If you take the Beijing-Xinjiang Expressway through Wurong Expressway, there will be fewer vehicles, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Inner Mongolia prairie all the way, but the distance is relatively long, and there are few gas stations on the road, so the Lu Yu gas station must be filled with oil, otherwise the vehicle fuel will not reach the next service area, which will be in trouble.

If you take Yin Qing Expressway, there will be more large trucks carrying coal in Shaanxi section of Donglu Expressway. Go forward after Fenyang, there will be fewer vehicles and driving will not be tiring. Moreover, the scenery along the way is quite beautiful, and the distance is relatively short, which also saves money. So I recommend this route from Shandong to Xinjiang.

Let's talk about the experience and cost of travel.

On the 16th day of the first month, a person set out from Qufu. At 6: 00 in the morning, I got on the Beijing-Fuzhou Expressway, and at 7: 30, I transferred to the Yin Qing Expressway in Jinan, heading west. At that time, there were many cars on the road, with a speed of 90 kilometers per hour, and they arrived in Xingtai, Hebei at 1 1 in the morning. Further on, it's Taihang Mountain, so I parked my car in the temporary parking area to have a rest and eat something to replenish my strength.

Because of the cold weather, I brought a lot of food when I came, including two packs of 24 bottles of mineral water, 10 kg of sesame cakes and pancakes, three large plates of fried spicy chicken, two boxes of apples, a box of pears, eight packs of ham sausage, 100 boiled eggs, 30 salted duck eggs, three boxes of mango juice and two barrels of 8 liters of orange juice to refresh me. That's enough.

I ate four pancakes, spicy chicken, 10 boiled eggs, two salted duck eggs, drank two bottles of mineral water, rested for half an hour, and continued to set out. Vehicles pass through the continuous Taihang Mountain, with tall and towering peaks on both sides, and a dozen or twenty kilometers long tunnel passing through the mountain. The scenery here is so spectacular. The vehicle galloped through the high mountains.

Arrive at Dingbian County at seven o'clock in the evening, transfer from Yin Qing Expressway to Dingwu Expressway, and arrive in Ningxia. Arrive at the parking area of Ningxia Wind Power Park at nine o'clock in the evening. I was so tired that I stopped to eat and have a rest.

At this time, high-speed vehicles are rare. The parking area of this wind farm is located in the wilderness, and there are endless wind turbines everywhere. There was silence all around, and I couldn't sleep alone in the car. Further on, I saw a big truck resting in the parking area of Ziziphus jujube forest, and I was not so scared when I had a companion in this wilderness. I was so tired that I fell asleep in the car seat until I was awakened by urine. At this time, it was already more than seven o'clock the next morning.

I poured two bottles of mineral water, washed my face and teeth, took food, sat down at the viewing pavilion in Ziziphus jujube forest service area and drank a bottle of orange juice to refresh myself. At this time, I barely ate three apples and continued on my way. 10 arrived at Zhongwei service area, filled up with oil and moved on. A person is too tired to drive, and he can't enjoy the scenery of Helan Mountain along the way. At noon 12, enter Gulang County, Gansu Province, change from Dingwu Expressway to Lianhuo Expressway, and then continue to enter the narrow Hexi Corridor.

There is a saying that Xinjiang is not too far, but Gansu is too long. The total length of Hexi Corridor alone exceeds 1000 km, sandwiched between Qilian Mountain, Helishan Mountain and Longshou Mountain. At this time, the mountain was covered with snow, and we arrived at Yumen service area at 9 pm. I was so tired that I fell asleep after eating in the car.

I slept for more than an hour, and then I was awakened by the cold. The temperature outside the car is ten degrees below zero. I started the car, turned on the air conditioner and covered the quilt. I want to have a good sleep and have a rest, but I can't sleep. Then I filled up the gas and continued on my way.

After driving for more than an hour, I arrived at Liuyuan in Gansu at 2 o'clock in the evening, and then continued to move forward and entered the border of Xinjiang. Xinjiang's high-speed toll collection is not connected to the Internet, so it will be charged at Liuyuan Toll Station in Gansu 1280 yuan.

Due to the strict inspection of vehicles going to Xinjiang, there was a long queue of vehicles, and it took more than an hour to pass. At six o'clock in the morning, they arrived at Xingxingxia service area, where cars lined up for miles. Fortunately, the time passed quickly, and they arrived at Hami service area around 10. I really can't hold on. I got off the bus and ate a plate of hot noodle soup in the service area. After eating, I asked for a single room in the lounge of the service area and had a good sleep.

I woke up at five o'clock in the afternoon and asked for 150 yuan's barbecue and 50 yuan's mutton kebabs after washing. Only when you are full can you drive. Because of the temperature of MINUS ten degrees, the food I brought was too cold to eat at all.

After eating and filling up, drive all the way west along Tianshan Mountain until you reach Urumqi service area on 12 in the afternoon. I was drunk and hungry because I drove all the time and didn't stop to have a rest and drink water. I went to the service area and asked for noodles and smoked horse meat. After dinner, I thought about saving some money to sleep in the car, and ended up staying for half an hour. I really can't stand the cold. Let's keep driving. I am really tired.

I quickly got up, brushed my teeth and washed my face. I went to the restaurant and asked for a hand-grabbed rice and two minced meat. After eating, I still repeated the old actions before, filled up the car and drove on the road.

Arrive at Kuitun at 3 pm, transfer from Lianhuo Expressway to Kuia Expressway, and arrive at Karamay service area at 5 pm. At this time, the weather is gray, and the weather forecast says it will snow. I ate an oil cake in the service area and hurried on. It is more than 240 kilometers away from the destination Tacheng, and it also passes through the world-famous Bailifeng area-Laofengkou, now called Maitas. The locals joked that the wind here only blows once a year, starting in spring. Once it snows in winter and spring, there will be a phenomenon of wind blowing snow, and the snow can reach one or two meters thick, making it impossible to drive.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, I changed from Quetta Expressway to Quetta Expressway. The car passed between Mount baruch and Mount Uzhhashayi, and there was thick snow everywhere.

Fortunately, it didn't snow, and the wind in the old tuyere was not strong. The windmill of the wind farm is spinning leisurely, and the Ta 'e Basin in the distance comes into view. It was just dark at 8: 30, and we arrived at Tacheng, the hometown of poplars!

Here, it is obvious that the high-speed toll in Xinjiang is not like that in the mainland. Every time you pass through an area, there is a toll station here.

The next day, I calculated it carefully. I drove a private car from Qufu, Shandong Province to Tacheng, Xinjiang, with a total mileage of about 3,800 kilometers, which lasted for three days and nights and 86 hours during the day. I didn't leave the highway. Total cost of expressway 1960 yuan, with 9 refuelings on the way. The fuel cost is 2 1.500 yuan, and the total cost is 5090 yuan.

Finally, I want to tell you that long-distance driving, don't drive tired, you must pay attention to rest and drive safely. One more thing to remember, no matter which road you take to Xinjiang, you must fill up your car at every gas station after entering the Hexi Corridor. The land is vast and sparsely populated, there are many temporary parking areas and few service areas, and some service areas do not refuel.
