FAW Toyota Brand Rizhibingjianaoxue Hexi Corridor Northwest Line 3

It is the third day of the FAW Toyota brand Rizhibingjianaoxue northwest trip. In the first two days of the trip, we visited Tibetan Buddhist temples and natural landscapes such as Gahai Lake and Zhagana. Today We continued to drive the RAV4 Rongfang four-wheel drive version out of the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and into Longnan.

At 8:30 in the morning, the convoy gathered and set off, heading straight along the Bailong River to Lazikou, the first destination of the day. The Bailong River is a tributary of the Jialing River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. Although the river does not appear to be wide, the water is very fast and flows between the canyons, forming a unique beauty.

The road conditions were very good along the way. Under the leadership of the team leader, we began to let ourselves go and corner as much as we wanted. While ensuring safety, we felt the driving pleasure brought to us by the RAV4 Rongfang four-wheel drive version.

During driving, the RAV4 started smoothly and shifted gears smoothly. Smoothness is particularly important when driving on snow, which can ensure vehicle body stability to a certain extent. At the same time, this car is also equipped with the dynamic torque control four-wheel drive system (DTV) that this generation of RAV4 is proud of. When the vehicle turns, , based on vehicle speed, steering angle and other information, the driver's operating intention is deduced, and the driving torque is allocated based on the driving environment, so that the vehicle can drive stably on dry roads as well as slippery roads in rain and snow.

RAV4 Rongfang four-wheel drive model is also equipped with AIM (AWD Integrated Management) four-wheel drive integrated management system, which coordinates the vehicle's engine, transmission, EPS electronic power steering system, braking and four-wheel drive system , can provide very good handling and stability under different road conditions. In this driving environment, we chose the MUD&SAND mode suitable for mud and sand.

Teammates who drive the RAV4 Rongfang dual-engine version have a different driving experience, because the dual-engine model is equipped with a TNGA 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system (THS II) that combines small size, lightweight and high efficiency. The integration of technology has greatly improved fuel economy and power performance. Paired with the E-CVT gearbox, it is very easy to fill up a tank of fuel and last for more than a thousand kilometers.

In addition, the RAV4 2.5L dual-engine four-wheel drive version is equipped with electronic four-wheel drive (E-Four). When the vehicle accelerates and when driving on slippery roads in rain or snow, it can smoothly switch to the four-wheel drive state, improving the drive torque distribution ratio of the rear wheels (rear drive torque 100:0-20:80), achieving more precise control. .

After climbing over the mountains and ridges, we came to Lazikou. Lazikou is an important pass in the Minshan Mountains. It has been known as the "naturally dangerous gateway" since ancient times. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was on this cliff that the famous Battle of Lazikou took place. Today, I was lucky enough to visit the Lazikou Battle Memorial Hall and truly feel the difficulty of the Red Army's long march to capture Lazikou.

In the memorial hall, we learned that there is a legendary story in this battle, about a young man who was only 17 years old at the time. His name was also very easy to remember, called Yunguichuan. During the war years, Yunguichuan didn't even have a name when he joined the army. The name Yunguichuan was given to him by his comrades. Although he was born unknown, Yunguichuan had a talent for rock climbing. When everyone was at a loss as to how to attack Lazikou, Yunguichuan volunteered, saying that he had a way to lead the commando team to Lazikou.

He used his rock climbing talent to climb up to Lazikou with bare feet, and put down the rope to drag the commandos to the Lazikou one by one. It was this day that a surprise troop dropped from the sky to help the Red Army capture the Lazikou. The victory over Lazikou also marked the Central Red Army's victory over the last dangerous hurdle on the Long March.

When you are in the memorial hall and listening to the explanation of the commentator, you feel as if you are in dialogue with history. Looking at the photos and statues, you feel extremely proud of such brave and fearless leaders and warriors. , it makes me understand how hard-won a peaceful and healthy life is now.

After experiencing the red memory, we came to enjoy the natural scenery. After a short rest, we set off to the last destination of this trip - Guan'egou. The mountain road to Guanyegou Scenic Area is full of snow and ice and often has uphill and downhill sections. This not only tests the performance of the car, but also tests the driving skills of the driver.

My friends traveling with me have been resorting to spot braking to slow down the vehicle because they are not familiar with the icy and snowy roads. This is obviously wrong. Mr. Ma from FAW Toyota, who was behind me, got out of the car and personally taught how to use engine braking. , the principle of engine braking is that after lifting the accelerator and blocking, the exhaust valve, expansion stroke and compression stroke are closed. When the engine speed rises to a certain value, the compression stroke continues to compress the air in the combustion chamber, which will consume the kinetic energy of the car. , the engine enters the braking state. Utilizing engine braking reduces the load on the brakes.

Following the mountain road and looking at the snowy scenery up the mountain, we arrived at the Guanyegou Scenic Area. Guanyegou is a national 4A tourist attraction and a national geological park. It is home to a variety of plants and many rare species. Animals are everywhere seen in landscape paintings. The scenery in summer and winter are completely different. Although there is snow all year round, the "ice waterfall" landscape can only be seen in winter. The ice hanging in the mountains and the river flowing at the feet are such miraculous wonders that are rare in China.

After hiking a few kilometers of mountain roads to visit the Guanyogou Scenic Area, everyone’s physical strength began to alarm. When we were tired, we felt happy when we had a hot pot of Lanzhou hot pot. Lanzhou hot pot is a stew dish in which the cooked soup stock is put into a copper hot pot. It is a combination of meat and vegetables and is suitable for all ages.

Happy time is always short-lived. Tomorrow is the day when we all part ways. It is also a kind of fate to be together on FAW Toyota Brand Day and we are reluctant to leave. The separation is also for a better reunion. I hope that in the near future we can travel together again, meet FAW Toyota again, and start a beautiful journey.
